Digital technologies once held immense promise for transforming society, but this utopianism feels like it’s slipping away, argues technologist and author Mike Pepi, in his…

There’s an age-old movie trope that we’ve all seen a hundred times. A cop gets their hands on blurry, grainy video footage and takes it to the precinct’s IT expert.

Now, it looks like we’re closer than ever to making that trope a reality thanks to AI. This might be the ultimate tool to improve blurry old TV shows, home footage, and so much more.Topaz Labs, maker of AI-powered photo and video editing software, announced its new…

Artificial intelligence may be the new frontier for childhood schooling, but the idea of teacherless classrooms has received mixed reviews from state education officials.Unbound Academy, a Texas-based institution billing itself as the nation’s first virtual, tuition-free charter school for grades 4 through 8, reportedly employs AI to teach students in a way that can be geared toward the individual student without “frustration[s]” sometimes present in traditional schooling.While such schools have seen success in being approved to educate students in Arizona, Unbound was formally rejected by the Pennsylvania Department of Education in a letter obtained by Fox News Digital.WY MAN SOUGHT…

I published this for readers on Medium as it is a big problem therePhoto by Andrea Piacquadio from PexelsDear friends, a few days ago, I published a comprehensive analysis on Medium.com about the shortcomings of glorified DeepSeek, but it struggled to reach its audience while sensationalized, one-sided posts were amplified and went viral, confusing the public.
