cnbc.com Arjun Kharpal April Roach 2025-11-14 20:46:30

If the U.S. continues to impose AI semiconductor restrictions on China, then chipmaker Huawei will take advantage of its position in the world's second-largest economy, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told CNBC Thursday. "Our technology is a generation ahead of theirs," Huang told CNBC at the sidelines of the Viva Technology conference in Paris. However, he warned that: "If the United States doesn't want to partake, participate in China, Huawei has got China covered, and Huawei has got everybody else co

These new batteries are finding a niche

technologyreview.com Casey Crownhart 2025-11-14 21:00:00

One researcher I spoke with at the time suggested that sodium-ion batteries might not compete directly with lithium-ion batteries but could instead find specialized uses where the chemistry made sense. Two years later, I think we’re starting to see what those are. One growing segment that could be a big win for sodium-ion: electric micromobility vehicles, like scooters and three-wheelers. Since these vehicles tend to travel shorter distances at lower speeds than cars, the lower energy density o

Are we ready to hand AI agents the keys?

technologyreview.com Grace Huckins 2025-11-14 21:00:00

The flash crash is probably the most well-known example of the dangers raised by agents—automated systems that have the power to take actions in the real world, without human oversight. That power is the source of their value; the agents that supercharged the flash crash, for example, could trade far faster than any human. But it’s also why they can cause so much mischief. “The great paradox of agents is that the very thing that makes them useful—that they’re able to accomplish a range of tasks—

Samsung scores a win in Galaxy S22 throttling saga, but it still deceived customers

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A Korean court has ruled that Samsung wasn’t liable for damages after it throttled Galaxy S22 phones. However, the court acknowledged that Samsung engaged in “deceptive labeling and advertising that was likely to mislead consumers.” Samsung throttled S22 phones out of the box back in 2022 and didn’t let users disable this functionality at first.
