Deagreez/Getty A Gallup poll published Wednesday found that 30% of teachers are using AI weekly -- and that it's saving them "six weeks a year."

Germany asks Apple and Google to pull DeepSeek AI app over data privacy concerns

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-08-24 05:15:58

Germany just became the latest country to move against DeepSeek over mounting data privacy concerns. Here’s why this keeps happening. As you probably guessed, it’s a China thing When DeepSeek took the world by storm earlier this year, it wasn’t long before it found itself in the crosshairs of governments in the West. First, because users quickly learned that its models were heavily moderated, skirting answering questions that could cast China and its government in a bad light. Second, and mo

Google’s carbon emissions just went up again

theverge.com Emma Roth 2025-08-24 17:08:04

Google’s carbon emissions jumped yet again as the company continues to push ahead in AI. The company’s 2025 sustainability report emphasizes that its “ambition-based emissions” grew 11 percent last year to reach 11.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide pollution, marking a 51 percent increase compared to 2019. That puts Google farther away from its goal of slashing planet-heating pollution in half by 2030 compared to a 2019 baseline. But what it calls “ambition-based” emissions excludes certa

OnePlus Watch 3 Gets Smaller Size Because Not Everybody Has Hulk Wrists
