From education to work and leisure, internet access is essential to modern life. Yet, since the first days of the world wide web, this access has been unequal. The US, France and the UK gained a headstart in the 1990s and developing countries have been seeking to catch up ever since.

One region where this process is now complete is the Arabian Peninsula. From relative obscurity in connectivity rankings three decades ago, countries such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar have leapfrogged their Western peers. Look at measures of internet speeds, in fact, and the UAE now leads the world.1 Having delivered internet access at home, e& (etisalat and), the telecommunications giant and leading global technology group headquartered in the UAE, hopes to expand connectivity worldwide.

To many small-business owners, AI still seems like something out of a sci-fi film—abstract, intimidating and not applicable to their lives. While there are many AI business tools available on the market today, most tools aren’t accessible or intuitive enough for the average small-business owner.

In theory, AI can help some SMBs with marketing, product adjustments, bookkeeping, decision-making and more. However, these tools are based on global data found on the web and are blind to business-specific data. Therefore, they don’t take important parameters like the small business’s location, industry and size into account.

To harness the true potential of AI and obtain truly valuable insights, AI systems need detailed information about the business history and future goals of the SMB. This tailored approach ensures that AI tools are not just functional but are strategic assets that contribute meaningfully to business growth and decision-making.

At the GlobalFoundries Technology Summit 2024, the company brought together its customers and partners from around the world. The theme was “AI Everywhere” as AI has impacted everything from IoT to the datacenter. However, the focus was on its core markets: aerospace, defense and critical infrastructure, automotive, communications and data center infrastructure, industrial IoT, and mobile devices.

RF

One key technology for many of those markets is RF (Radio Frequency) chips for mobile devices, communications infrastructure, and aerospace. GF’s mainstream RF offerings use Silicon on Insulator (SOI) wafer technology. But GF also has Silicon Germanium (SiGe) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) processes as well. With this level of diverse RF technologies, the company is well positioned for future 5G NR cellular developments and beyond, including the growth of FR2 (above 24GHz) and FR3 (7.1GH to 24GHz) bands.

A team of AI researchers with Google’s DeepMind London group has found that certain large language models (LLMs) can serve as effective mediators between groups of people with differing viewpoints regarding a given topic. The work is published in the journal Science.

Over the past several decades, political divides have become common in many countries—most have been labeled as either liberal or conservative. The advent of the internet has served as fuel, allowing people from either side to promote their opinions to a wide audience, generating anger and frustration. Unfortunately, no tools have surfaced to diffuse the tension of such a political climate. In this new effort, the team at DeepMind suggests AI tools such as LLMs may fill that gap.

To find out if LLMs could serve as effective mediators, the researchers trained LLMs called Habermas Machines (HMs) to serve as caucus mediators. As part of their training, the LLMs were taught to identify areas of overlap between viewpoints of people in opposing groups—but not to try to change anyone’s opinions.

SpaceX sent another group of Starlink satellites to orbit aboard a Falcon 9 launched from Space Launch Complex 40 this morning. Liftoff was at 8:21 AM.

Around 8.5 minutes later, Falcon 9 booster B1076 touched down offshore on ASDS ‘Just Read The Instructions’, which had been pre-positioned off the coast of The Bahamas in the Atlantic Ocean. The drone ship will return to Port Canaveral and B1076 will be returned to SpaceX’s Hangar X for inspection and, presumably, preparation for its next flight.

Scientists have developed an AI-based authentication scheme to enhance vehicle security in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV).


Scientists claim to have developed an artificial intelligence tool to consolidate the privacy of vehicles and their drivers.

How to preserve the privacy of the so-called Internet of Vehicles (IoV) has emerged as a major challenge due to geographical mobility of vehicles and insufficient resources, the scientists say.

The problem has been aggravated, according to the scientists, due to the “limited resources of onboard units (OBUs)” and the shortcomings of embedded sensors installed in vehicles, which “lure the adversaries to launch various types of attacks.”

The threat actors behind the AndroxGh0st malware are now exploiting a broader set of security flaws impacting various internet-facing applications, while also deploying the Mozi botnet malware.

“This botnet utilizes remote code execution and credential-stealing methods to maintain persistent access, leveraging unpatched vulnerabilities to infiltrate critical infrastructures,” CloudSEK said in a new report.

AndroxGh0st is the name given to a Python-based cloud attack tool that’s known for its targeting of Laravel applications with the goal of sensitive data pertaining to services like Amazon Web Services (AWS), SendGrid, and Twilio.

This afternoon, SpaceX plans to launch its latest Starlink mission from Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40. Then on Monday, the company hopes to launch the Koreasat 6A telecommunications satellite from Kennedy Space Center Pad 39A. Another Starlink mission is then set for launch Tuesday evening.

Today’s launch window for the SpaceX Starlink 6–69 mission opens now at 6:56 p.m. EST. SpaceX states they now only have until 8:22 p.m. to launch.
