Apple iPhone's voice-to-text feature periodically shows 'Trump' when user says 'racist'

FOX News

Apple's iPhone voice-to-text feature is sparking controversy after a viral TikTok video showed a user speaking the word "racist," which at first showed up as "Trump" before switching back to "racist." Fox News Digital was able to replicate the issue multiple times. The voice-to-text dictation feature was observed briefly flashing "Trump" when a user said "racist" before it quickly changed back to "racist" – just like in the viral TikTok video. However, "Trump" did not appear every time a user said "racist." The voice-to-text feature also wrote words like "reinhold" and "you" when a user said "racist."


iOS update will make it easier to unlock Apple iPhone while wearing a mask

The Independent - Tech

A new update to Apple's iPhone will make it easier to unlock while wearing a mask. Early versions of the software – which have been released to testers as part of the iOS 13.5 beta – include new changes that make it easier to get around Apple's Face ID facial recognition technology. Many users have found themselves frustrated in recent weeks as they have followed some countries' guidance to wear masks when outside, but found that doing so gets in the way so that the phone cannot recognise its owner and will not unlock. With the new software, the phones are still unlikely to recognise their users. The phones gather a 3D scan of their owners' face and check by looking at the placement of key features such as the nose and mouth, meaning that any mask is likely to get in the way of the technology.

#artificialintelligence

Every time there is a big wireless, telecom or technology trade show, the big question I am always asked by the media as a telecom and wireless analyst, is simple. What was the key message or take away from the show? Last week, at the world's largest wireless trade show, Mobile World Congress 2018 in Barcelona, Spain, the answer was clear. First it is about 5G, with plenty of AI and IoT mixed in. Yes, our world is rapidly changing. So, what will 5G, AI and IoT do for us?

International Business Times

While the Apple World Wide Developers Conference will take place Monday 1 p.m. EDT, the leaks about the vent keep trickling in. The newest one involves a screenshot of an iOS app called'Files'. According to a new app placeholder discovered by iOS developer Steve Stroughton Smith, devices having iOS 11 or later, might have a new Files app, which would grant them access to the device's hard disk. While Android users have'file manager' access for long, this is the first time that Apple will open up file access to its system, which has remained closed since the first iPhone.

Apple most probably is not offering unfettered access to the iPhone's hard drive, but it could actually allow access to essential files such as photos and music and also provide greater access to developers to develop more integrated apps.

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts.
