Incredible technological advancements have been made in autonomous vehicles, from the integration of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology to advancements in AI and machine learning, that promise a transformative impact for the automotive industry. Yet, despite their clear benefits — greater cost-efficiency, less traffic congestion, and lower carbon emissions — widespread adoption of autonomous technology remains elusive. If history is our guide, we risk repeating the same missteps with autonomous driving as with electric transportation. For a century, the technology for electric vehi...

Imagine if policymakers, businesses, and society had access to a virtual twin copy of our oceans to explore? This AI tool could simulate realistic what-if scenarios based on scientific knowledge. Would that help protect and restore our oceans by enabling better decision-making? As the EU is preparing to launch the Digital Twin of the Ocean (DTO), the European scientific community thinks it could be a game-changing project. "Think of artificial intelligence as a tool that helps us to predict and understand what is going on in the ocean," says Joanna Staneva, a physicist at the Helmholtz-Zentrum...

There are more than 500 undersea cables worldwide. Often connecting continents, from Europe to Australasia, they provide internet connectivity to billions of people, many of whom have no idea that they even exist. They are one of those components of our global infrastructure that is fundamental to our way of life and yet largely unappreciated. Unappreciated, that is, until the internet is disrupted. And that looks like an increasing possibility. Over the last few months, Houthi rebels in the Middle East have been alleged to have sabotaged four major communication cables, belonging to the AAE-1...

Deepfake fraudulent identity verification attempts have surged by 3,000% over the past year, pointing to an emerging threat as new ways of financial scams emerge. Using false or stolen identity is the number one way of fraudulently getting into a bank account, and victims across the globe are being deprived of billions of their own hard-earned cash. Now, scammers are fooling people using the new technology of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools that can imitate people's voices or appearances to get access to their banks accounts. How do you know who to believe?A recent example of dee...

China has begun phasing out US microprocessors from government computers and servers, according to a report in the Financial Times. The move will include stopping using those from Intel and AMD, as well as Microsoft's Windows operating system, the report said. From this year onwards, government agencies above local level will have to follow new procurement guidance with criteria requiring "safe and reliable" processors and operating systems. China's semiconductor production challenges could be boon for EuropeDoing business in China getting tougher, European business group saysInstructions were...

The European Commission presented a series of actions to boost biotechnology and biomanufacturing in the EU, confirming a leak published by Euronews earlier this week. As previously reported, the Commission is planning to assess the current rules for biotech products market approval in a bid to make the EU regulatory framework and its implementation smoother. “What we hear from industry is that there are indeed huge differences, in what time it takes to have a product that is finalised and tested from the side of the business to being able to market it,” Vestager explained presenting the propo...

The unveiling of a ‘Biotech and Biomanufacturing Initiative’, a first of its kind, is tabled for this Wednesday (20 March) after a formal go-ahead in the weekly College of Commissioners. The biotech sector is considered “one of the most promising technological areas of this century” according to the latest draft of the communication – seen exclusively by Euronews – set for approval by commissioners later this week. The initiative “summarises the current challenges and barriers for biotechnologies and biomanufacturing” and proposes actions "to address these challenges in a timely manner”. The l...

The manipulation of images and videos to create sexually orientated content is closer to being considered a criminal offence in all European Union countries. The first directive on violence against women will go through its final approval stage in April 2024. Through artificial intelligence programmes, these images are being manipulated to undress women without their consent. But what will change with this new directive? And what happens if women living in the European Union are the victims of manipulation carried out in countries outside the European Union? The victimsWebsites that allow sexu...

Are schools doing enough to prepare the students for the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution in Europe? A new report states that there’s a widening digital gap among European countries. GoStudent, an education technology company offering private tutoring, surveyed 5,581 children aged 10 to 16 and their parents as well as 60 teachers across six European countries: Austria, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and the UK. Over half of the students (54 per cent) expressed the desire to start learning with AI, according to the survey, which the report attributes to the adoption of AI tools by the pu...

Switzerland’s attempt to explore the possibility of dimming the sun has been dismissed by a United Nations summit this week. Solar geoengineering will go no further after a debate at the UN Environment Assembly (UNEA) in Kenya failed to reach a consensus on the issue last night. Switzerland had suggested creating a UN expert group to study the “risks and opportunities” of solar radiation modification (SRM), a controversial set of technologies aimed at cooling the Earth. But the European country withdrew its draft resolution in the face of strong opposition from other nations. European Commissi...
