Golden Dome may not be the golden ticket Silicon Valley is hoping for

Golden Dome, the Trump administration’s gambit to build a next-generation missile defense system, has startups and longstanding defense contractors preparing to duke it out for a piece of a $151 billion multi-year contract. The process to qualify for the $151 billion contract vehicle, essentially an umbrella program, is stacked against most startups – not because of their tech. Instead, smaller companies may be thwarted by a multi-layered, expensive bureaucratic process used to ensure a company

Microsoft in talks to maintain access to OpenAI’s tech beyond AGI milestone

Microsoft is reportedly in advanced talks with OpenAI for a new agreement that would give it ongoing access to the startup’s technology even if OpenAI achieves what it defines as AGI, or advanced general intelligence. If the deal goes through, it would clear a key hurdle in OpenAI’s transition toward becoming a fully commercial enterprise. The companies have been negotiating regularly, and they could come to an agreement in a few weeks, Bloomberg reports, citing three anonymous sources. The rep

Is AI overhyped or underhyped? 6 tips to separate fact from fiction

Mininyx Doodle / Getty Images Who do you believe when it comes to the potential impact of artificial intelligence? An MIT Nobel laureate economist or the former CEO of the world's biggest tech company? MIT economist Daron Acemoglu, for his part, says the current hype is way over the top. AI might profitably automate only 5% of tasks and add just 1% to global GDP over the coming decade, he said in a recent MIT Sloan presentation. Acemoglu also asserted that AI's potential is less clear than the

This founder left Silicon Valley to challenge U.S. defense supremacy from Athens, and investors are paying attention

In the summer of 2021, Dimitrious Kottas made a move that would be unfathomable to most Silicon Valley engineers: after leaving his coveted position at Apple’s Special Projects Group, he packed up his life in California and moved back to Athens to start a defense company. Three and a half years later, his startup, Delian Alliance Industries, has set up solar-powered surveillance towers that monitor some of Greece’s borders around the clock and detect wildfires on remote islands, along with a pi

Fintech dystopia

"Just like beauty, efficiency, competition, and security are all in the eye of the beholder. For example, one person’s “efficiency” may be another person’s “dismantling critical government infrastructure.” And yet technological solutions designed to make things more efficient, more competitive, or more secure are often presented by Silicon Valley as neutral and universally desirable. That veneer of neutrality and universality can be dangerous if it disguises the fact that Silicon Valley is solvi

Add smart touches your dorm room: Everything you need

If you or a loved one is prepping for college, it's easy to knock out the apparent dorm room essentials: twin XL sheets, a mini fridge, a laptop, and more. What's less likely to be obvious is the tech items you buy that will level up a dorm room from basic to smart. With so many tech products flooding the market, especially ones catered to college students, it can be hard to know which ones are worth it and which ones will sit unused for four years to come.

200k Flemish drivers can turn traffic lights green

Two years ago, the Flemish Roads Agency (AWV) announced the introduction of the new system: via an app on your smartphone, you can get a traffic light to turn green more quickly. Over the past 2 years, 250 intersections were to be equipped with so-called “intelligent traffic lights”, which would receive a signal as soon as a road user with the app approaches. In that way, motorists - but also cyclists and motorcyclists- will not have to wait unnecessarily at red lights when less traffic is appr

Meta builds wristband that can control devices with a flick of the wrist

Forward-looking: A new chapter in human-computer interaction is unfolding at Meta, where researchers are exploring how the muscles in our arms could soon take the place of traditional keyboards, mice, and touchscreens. At their Reality Labs division, scientists have developed an experimental wristband that reads the electrical signals produced when a person intends to move their fingers. This allows users to control digital devices using only subtle hand and wrist gestures. This technology draw

The AI Boom Is Creating Housing Costs in the Bay Area That You'll Think You Must Be Hallucinating

Detroit's Using Robots to Pick Up Garbage, Mow Grass, Clear Snow, and Much More

Detroit's Using Robots to Pick Up Garbage, Mow Grass, Clear Snow, and Much More Wall-E has some competition.

I've Had It with Microsoft

After narrativizing chatbots and image generators into the next big thing, to such an extent that credulous governments now believe access to the technology is key to their geopolitical position in the world, tech companies can’t allow the bubble to burst. But keeping the bubble inflated costs hundreds of billions of dollars, and tha

Google took a month to shut down Catwatchful, a phone spyware operation hosted on its servers

Google has suspended the account of phone surveillance operator Catwatchful, which was using the tech giant’s servers to host and operate the monitoring software.

13 tech trends to watch now, according to McKinsey (and no, it's not all AI)

MF3d / Getty Images When we hear the word "technology," most of us automatically think of hardware; the physical devices that have become such a conspicuously present part of many of our day-to-day lives. But technology is a much more expansive phenomenon, encompassing not only all the various tools and gadgets we can clearly see, but also a vast and mostly invisible digital infrastructure of software and code upon which our modern world is based.

Chime backer Lauren Kolodny bets on AI to revolutionize estate processing

Lauren Kolodny, a partner at Acrew Capital, has always championed technology’s power to democratize access to financial services for everyday people. When the fledgling neobank Chime struggled to convince investors in 2016 that it could build a large business serving the working class, Kolodny was the only VC out of 100 Chime pitched who agreed to back the company, stepping in with a $9 million Series A extension when it was nearly out of money. That bet paid off big time. Last month, Chime we

SoftBank-backed LegalOn lands $50M to streamline legal workflows with AI

Contract review remains a slow, manual process that strains legal teams, forcing lawyers to sift through dense language, flag risks, and translate legal terms. In fact, the problem is so prevalent that for the past several years, Tokyo-based LegalOn Technologies has had an open door to that market: its AI contract review software for legal teams is today used by 7,000 organizations across Japan, the U.S. and the U.K., the company claims, and it leads the Japanese market, with 25% of all public

Trump's AI Action Plan Is Here: 5 Key Takeaways

The Trump administration on Wednesday laid out the steps it plans to take to ensure "global AI dominance" for the US, with an AI Action Plan that calls for cutting regulations to speed up the development of artificial intelligence tools and the infrastructure to power them. Critics said the plan is a handout to tech and fossil fuel companies, slashing rules that could protect consumers, prevent pollution and fight climate change. Though the plan itself isn't binding (it includes dozens of poli
