00:00you're listening to daily world podcast focused on technology for april 17
00:142025 i'm angela ready to guide you through the newest tech development shaking up the industry
00:20a new google play services update for android devices will introduce an auto restart feature
00:27that activates if the phone is locked for three consecutive days this enhancement aims to bolster
00:33security by making personal data harder to extract the update is rolling out gradually and mirrors a
00:39feature previously implemented by apple and ios in a senate hearing sarah winn williams a former
00:46director at facebook testified that meta targeted advertisements at teenagers based on their emotional
00:51states particularly when they felt down or insecure she asserted that the company was aware of the

01:03meta has denied elon musk's transformation of twitter continues with the rebranding of the direct
01:09messages feature to xc hat this new feature is expected to include encrypted messaging and file
01:15sharing positioning it as a competitor to whatsapp although an official release date has not yet been
01:21announced american airlines has announced plans to begin offering free wi-fi on the majority of its
01:28flights starting in january 2026 this service will be available on aircraft equipped with vsat and
01:35intel sat high-speed satellite connectivity making it the first domestic carrier to provide complementary
01:41in-flight wi-fi on such a scale a study has revealed that generative ai has been utilized in russian-backed
01:49disinformation campaigns significantly increasing content production while maintaining perceived
01:55credibility the research indicates that ai generated articles which drew from sources like fox news and
02:01russian state media were just as persuasive as human written content raising concerns about the
02:06potential for ai to enhance the spread of misinformation a new startup in silicon valley has unveiled ambitious
02:14plans to develop robotic armies aiming to revolutionize military technology this initiative highlights the
02:21growing intersection of advanced robotics and defense raising questions about the implications for
02:27warfare and security british soldiers have successfully neutralized over 100 drones in wales using a new uk
02:35made radio frequency weapon marking a significant advancement in air defense capabilities the radio frequency
02:42directed energy weapon disrupts drone electronics with high frequency waves and offers a cost effective
02:48alternative to traditional missile systems the british army has also tested a radio frequency directed
02:55energy weapon capable of neutralizing multiple drone swarms simultaneously using high frequency radio waves
03:03this innovative system developed as part of project healing enhances defense capabilities for military and
03:09civilian airspace at a cost of 10 pence per shot researchers from microsoft have highlighted that while ai is
03:18increasingly integrated into software development it is not yet capable of effectively replacing human coders for
03:24debugging tasks their new tool debug gym shows that ai models struggle with this significant part of a
03:31developer's workload still falling short compared to experienced human developers open ai is reportedly in
03:39negotiations to acquire the ai assisted coding tool windsurf for approximately 3 billion dollars
03:45which would mark its largest acquisition to date the discussions are still in the early stages
03:50and the final terms have yet to be determined open ai has also launched codex a lightweight coding agent
03:58designed to operate within terminal environments this experimental tool allows developers to execute code
04:05manipulate files and iterate on projects with ease integrating chat gpt level reasoning and supporting a range of
04:11features including sandboxed execution and multimodal inputs google's 2024 ad safety report reveals the
04:21successful use of upgraded ai models to combat malicious advertising resulting in the suspension of 39.2 million
04:28fraudulent accounts a significant increase from the previous year the company utilized over 50
04:34enhanced large language models to enforce ad policies leading to a notable reduction in harmful ads
04:42research shows that 60 percent of the top us-based ai companies have at least one immigrant founder
04:48highlighting the significant role of immigrant entrepreneurs in driving american ai innovation
04:53the findings indicate that the u.s risks losing its competitive edge in ai due to increasing barriers to
04:59immigration and competition from other countries for global talent the ai industry is experiencing a
05:06reduction in the projected timelines for achieving human-like artificial general intelligence however
05:13concerns about ai safety are being overlooked as the focus shifts towards rapid advancements in technology
05:20a study by the german institute for economic research indicates that artificial intelligence can enhance the
05:26accuracy of predicting the european central bank's monetary policy moves by analyzing ecb communications with a
05:33specialized ai model the study found that forecast accuracy for interest rate changes could improve from 70
05:40to 80 percent massive blue is assisting law enforcement in utilizing ai driven social media bots to engage with
05:49individuals suspected of various crimes this raises concerns about privacy and the implications of using ai in
05:56policing that concludes today's technology update on daily world podcast i'm angela encouraging you to
06:05keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible
