Tesla whistleblower casts doubt on car safety
LONDON — A former Tesla employee has told the BBC he believes the technology powering the firm's self-driving vehicles is not safe enough to be used on public roads.Lucasz Krupski leaked data, including customer complaints about Tesla's braking and self-driving software, to German newspaper Handelsblatt in May.He said attempts to highlight his concerns internally had been ignored.Tesla did not respond to requests for comment.Elon Musk, the chief executive of Tesla, has championed its self-driving technology."Tesla has by far the best real-world AI," Musk said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday.But, in his first UK interview, Krupski told the BBC's technology editor, Zoe Kleinman, he was concerned about how AI was being used — to power Tesla's...

OpenAI to name ex-Twitch chief Emmett Shear as new boss
WASHINGTON — OpenAI is reportedly set to name Emmett Shear as its interim chief executive just 48 hours after the chaotic firing of boss and co-founder, Sam Altman.The board dismissed Altman on Friday, saying it had lost confidence in him, and named OpenAI's chief technology officer, Mira Murati, as its interim chief executive.But now Shear appears set to be the latest boss of the company.Altman helped launch the firm which created the popular ChatGPT bot.There was speculation he could return, reportedly following a backlash from staff and investors.But on Sunday evening, OpenAI's board said it "firmly stands by its decision as the only path to advance and defend the mission of OpenAI," according to an internal memo, seen by The New York Times.On Monday, Microsoft chief...

Hundreds of families sue 'harmful' Big Tech firms
WASHINGTON — Hundreds of families are suing some of the world's biggest technology companies — who, they say, knowingly expose children to harmful products.One plaintiff explains why they are taking on the might of Silicon Valley."I literally was trapped by addiction at age 12. And I did not get my life back for all of my teenage years."Taylor Little's addiction was social media, an addiction that led to suicide attempts and years of depression.Taylor, who's now 21 and uses the pronoun "they", describes the tech companies as "big, bad monsters".The companies, Taylor believes, knowingly put into children's hands highly addictive and damaging products.Which is why Taylor and hundreds of other American families are suing four of the biggest...

Tina, diagnosed with a sarcoma in June 2022, now has scans every three months
Scientists excited by AI tool that grades severity of rare cancer
LONDON — Artificial intelligence is nearly twice as good at grading the aggressiveness of a rare form of cancer from scans as the current method, a study suggests.By recognizing details invisible to the naked eye, AI was 82% accurate, compared with 44% for lab analysis.Researchers from the Royal Marsden Hospital and Institute of Cancer Research say it could improve treatment and benefit thousands every year.They are also excited by its potential for spotting other cancers early.AI is already showing huge promise for diagnosing breast cancers and reducing treatment times.Computers can be fed huge amounts of information and trained to identify the patterns in it to make predictions, solve problems and even learn from their own mistakes."We're incredibly excited by the potential of...

It is hard to limit your social media use by willpower alone, says human rights lawyer Susie Alegre
Growing number of people go 'monk mode' to limit social media use
LONDON — When she really needs to focus on her work, Susie Alegre uses an app on her phone that blocks her access to social media sites for however long she requires.Ms Alegre, a human rights lawyer and author based in London, says shutting off in this way enables her to better concentrate, because it stops her from getting distracted."I think it's incredibly hard by willpower alone to have a smartphone and not waste a significant amount of time on it," she says.The app Ms Alegre uses is called Freedom. You can choose to block specific social media sites and websites, or turn off internet access entirely.You pick how long you want the blocking to last for in hours and minutes. You can subsequently change your mind about this, and cancel it early. Or alternatively, you can...

Scientists get closer to solving mystery of antimatter
BERN , Switzerland — Scientists have made a key discovery about antimatter — a mysterious substance which was plentiful when the Universe began.Antimatter is the opposite of matter, from which stars and planets are made.Both were created in equal amounts in the Big Bang which formed our Universe. While matter is everywhere, though, its opposite is now fiendishly hard to find.The latest study has discovered the two respond to gravity in the same way.For years, physicists have been scrambling to discover their differences and similarities, to explain how the Universe arose.Discovering that antimatter rose in response to gravity, instead of falling would have blown apart what we know about physics.They’ve now confirmed for the first time that atoms of antimatter fall downwards. But far...

The ship at sea trying out its sails
Pioneering wind-powered cargo ship sets sail
LONDON — A cargo ship fitted with giant, British-designed special wind-powered sails has set out on its maiden voyage.Shipping firm Cargill, which has chartered the vessel, hopes the technology will help the industry chart a course toward a greener future.Using the wing-sized rigid WindWings sails aims to cut fuel consumption and therefore shipping's carbon footprint.It is estimated the industry is responsible for about 2.1% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.The Pyxis Ocean's first journey will be from China to Brazil — and will provide the first test real-world test of the wind-wing technology.Folded down when the ship is in port, they are opened when it is at sea. They stand 123ft (37.5m) tall and are built of the same material as wind turbines, to make them...

Aviation contributes around 2.4 per cent of global CO2 emissions.
NASA is working on batteries that could make long-haul electric flights a reality
WASHINGTON — Battery performance and safety have long stood in the way of electrifying aviation but that could soon change.New battery technology being developed by NASA could help to revolutionize air travel.Aviation makes up around 2.4 percent of global CO2 emissions. For a long time, scientists have been searching for a way to electrify air travel and eliminate these emissions.But current battery technology only works for some lighter aircraft like drones. It doesn’t supply enough power or range for passenger aircraft meaning they are rare and not widely used.Lithium-ion batteries, which are used for electric cars and personal devices, don’t meet the safety standards needed to be used in aviation either. Their flammability is the reason you can’t put items like laptops or phones...
