Researchers at Facebook have developed a framework, Vx2Text, that can generate captions by inferring from videos, audio, and text.

Unsurprisingly, artificial intelligence is a small part — albeit an important one — of a successful product management strategy.

Researchers allege that software used for downloading Android apps onto PCs and Macs has been compromised to install malware onto victim devices.

SpaceX launched a 16-story prototype of its Starship Mars rocket system 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) above Boca Chica, Texas on Tuesday.

Cloud computing is at a critical juncture. Millions of companies now use it to store data and run applications and services remotely. This has reduced costs and sped operations. But a new trend threatens the benefits that cloud computing has unlocked.

“Digital sovereignty” describes the many ways governments try to assert more control over the computing environments on which their nations rely. It has long been a concern in supply chains, affecting the kinds of hardware and software available in a given market. Now it’s coming for the cloud.

Governments around the world are passing measures that require companies to host infrastructure and store certain kinds of data in local jurisdictions. Some also require companies that operate within their borders to provide the government with access to data and code stored in the cloud.

The robots are sparing us the pains of tomorrow.

Picking up and examining pebbles of fuel is just the first step.
