Concrete — a mixture of cement, sand, and water — is the second most used material on Earth after water. Ton-for-ton, more of it is laid down every year than steel, wood, plastics, and aluminium combined. Problem is, cement production emits 8% of global CO2 — four times that of air travel. Swedish startup Cemvision has devised a cement making process that utilises by-products from industries like steel and mining instead of fresh limestone, resulting in a circular, cleaner alternative.  “We’re on track to producing cement that emits 95% less carbon than traditional methods while remaining just as strong and…

In 2020, amid a rapidly evolving global data landscape, TikTok, a brand deeply rooted in Chinese technology and known for its extensive collection of user data, found itself at a crossroads. Responding to the shifting dynamics, ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, took a proactive step by running a novel full-page advertisement in the German news magazine SPIEGEL.  This advertisement marked a departure from TikTok’s typical marketing strategies, focusing not on its content or lifestyle appeal but on its privacy measures. These measures included a restrictive privacy policy and ongoing “third-party audits” of its data use.  This move by ByteDance was not…

The debate on how far artificial intelligence can go revolves around questions about what actually constitutes human intelligence, and can a machine function similarly enough to a human brain? While not shooting for AGI, UK-based Stanhope AI is building its models according to neuroscience principles, and using the predictive, hierarchic machinery that make up our brains for inspiration.  The result is an AI that doesn’t need training. It basically just needs to be told that it exists, provided a prior system of beliefs  — and then take off (literally) into the real world and learn from its surroundings using sensors.…

Google has been slapped with a €250mn fine for breaching EU intellectual property rules in how it deals with media publishers, including scraping news articles to train its AI models without permission.  The regulator found Google guilty of scraping content from news websites to train its chatbot Bard — now Gemini — without notifying publishers or the authorities. Google also didn’t provide a way for publishers to opt out, blocking them from possibly negotiating fair payment for the use of their stories. The case is part of a five-year quarrel between Google and media publishers over the use of online…

Have you tried your first ebike yet? Despite being surrounded by them on a daily basis in Amsterdam (only mildly bitter as they whizz past me while I struggle against the notorious always-in-your-face wind resistance), I must confess that I had yet to actually try one until last week, when I attended a demo event for the new Cowboy Cross. As a result, I have nothing to compare it with, and cannot for certain attest to it being the “pinnacle of smart, secure, and versatile cycling,” as marketed by the company. However, it did make for a fun and very…

Two of the biggest winners over the past year — chipmaker Nvidia and pharmaceutical drug maker Novo Nordisk — are joining forces to set up one the world’s most advanced AI supercomputers in Denmark.  Named Gefion, after the Norse goddess of ploughing and abundance, and built by Atos Group subsidiary Eviden, it will be based on the Nvidia DGX SuperPod architecture. Gefion will feature over 1,500 of Nvidia’s H100 Tensor Core GPUs and deliver six exaflops of FP8 AI performance. Furthermore, it will connect to the Nvidia Cuda Quantum open-source software platform, which allows for simulations on hybrid quantum-classical computers.…

Direct air capture (DAC) features prominently in the climate plans of many world governments, and has drawn billions of dollars in private investment. And yet, as the costs of the technology remain prohibitively high, some doubt whether we can depend on it at all.  Mission Zero Technologies, a startup based out of the UK, believes we can — but by doing things a little differently. It has developed a modular, carbon-sucking machine that it says is cheaper and more efficient than the contraptions currently under development. The device pulls in air from the atmosphere and passes it over a water-based…

When game streaming platforms like Stadia first launched, they promised a future where people wouldn’t need to invest in a gaming laptop or console and could enjoy games anywhere. While many of these platforms failed miserably, the concept of gaming from any location persisted and gave rise to devices like the PS Portal. However, rather…

Swedish gaming company Embracer Group has sold a big chunk of one of its biggest subsidiaries, US-headquartered Saber Interactive, in a deal totalling $500mn.  The buyer is Beacon Interactive, a holding company recently formed by none other than Saber’s own co-founder Matthew Karch. In a letter shared with Bloomberg, Karch said he was buying back the rights to his company and many of its studios because “they represent the best of what Saber is and can be.”  Saber Interactive is currently overseeing the development of 38 games, including Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, and Jurassic Park:…
