Paraguay – the Silicon Valley of South America?
Gabriela Cibils is on a mission - to help turn Paraguay into the Silicon Valley of South America. When she was growing up in the landlocked country, nestled between Brazil and Argentina, she says the nation wasn't super tech focused. But it was different for Ms Cibils, as her parents worked in the technology sector. And she was inspired to study in the US, where she got a degree in computing and neuroscience from the University of California, Berkeley. After graduating she spent eight years working in Silicon Valley, near San Francisco, with roles at various American start-ups.

I asked AI to plan my dream summer holiday. Here's how it turned out
I asked AI to plan my dream summer holiday. Here's how it turned out The gothic arches of Santa María de la Asunción crown the hill above the stone harbour where fishermen land their catches of sardines and anchovies. The church in Castro Urdiales, a small seaside town of about 30,000 people in northern Spain, is more than 700 years old. It was the perfect holiday destination for Alan Smith and his family, though he had never heard of it - until he asked ChatGPT. This week a report from the travel association ABTA found an increasing number of people were turning to AI to help with their holidays, from suggesting destinations to planning itineraries once there.
Drone strike in besieged Sudan city kills at least 60 people
At least 60 people have been killed in a drone strike at a displacement shelter in el-Fasher, a besieged Sudanese city on the brink of collapse. The resistance committee for el-Fasher, made up of local citizens and activists, said the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) hit Dar al-Arqam camp, located within a university, with two drone strikes and eight artillery shells. Children, women and the elderly were killed in cold blood, and many were completely burned, a statement from the group said. Eyewitnesses described scenes of panic as rescuers pulled bodies from the rubble. Hospitals already struggling under months of siege have been overwhelmed, with doctors treating the wounded on floors and in corridors.
How forensics identified forgotten teen left buried in a carpet for eight years
Karen Price was just 15 when she vanished in 1981 and, had it not been for a chance discovery by two builders, her body might never have been found. Because no-one was looking for her. Dubbed Little Miss Nobody, Karen had not been seen for eight years when her skeletal remains, wrapped in a carpet, were uncovered by two unsuspecting builders in Cardiff city centre on 7 December 1989. Her body, found in a shallow grave outside a basement flat on Fitzhamon Embankment, was so badly decomposed it was impossible to establish the cause of her death. Now, more than 40 years on and after the release of her killer, a new documentary has examined how police put together the jigsaw to solve the killing of a teenager known to no-one and how it involved groundbreaking methods to bring two men to justice.
How hackers forced brewing giant Asahi back to pen and paper
Only four bottles of Asahi Super Dry beer are left on the shelves of Ben Thai, a cosy restaurant in the Tokyo suburb of Sengawacho. Its owner, Sakaolath Sugizaki, expects to get a few more soon, but she says her supplier is keeping the bulk of its stock for bigger customers. That's because Asahi, the maker of Japan's best-selling beer, was forced to halt production at most of its 30 factories in the country at the end of last month after being hit by a cyber-attack. While all of its facilities in Japan - including six breweries - have now partially reopened, its computer systems are still down. That means it has to process orders and shipments manually - using pen, paper and fax machines - resulting in much fewer shipments than before the attack.
'It's going to be really bad': Fears over AI bubble bursting grow in Silicon Valley
'It's going to be really bad': Fears over AI bubble bursting grow in Silicon Valley At OpenAI's DevDay this week, OpenAI boss Sam Altman did what American tech bosses rarely do these days: he actually answered questions from reporters. I know it's tempting to write the bubble story, Mr Altman told me as he sat flanked by his top lieutenants. In fact, there are many parts of AI that I think are kind of bubbly right now. In Silicon Valley, the debate over whether AI companies are overvalued has taken on a new urgency. Sceptics are privately - and some now publicly - asking whether the rapid rise in the value of AI tech companies may be, at least in part, the result of what they call financial engineering.
