TechScape: Here's four ways a new Labour government could use tech to boost Britain

The Guardian

Barring an asteroid strike, Keir Starmer is going to be the UK prime minister in three days. Given the lead in polling, I'd probably bet on him over an asteroid, too. Labour will come into government with a broken state, a flatlining economy and no money. A thin manifesto and enormous parliamentary majority means the party will almost certainly end up stretching further afield for ideas about how to deal with that trilemma from hell.

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Breaking up with people has become much more complex in the digital age, with shared logins and apps meaning your ex could be watching you long after you have split. If you have shared devices, it's perfectly possible that an ex could access your email - and from there, your bank accounts, by resetting passwords. If your partner is abusive, they can also use tech to spy on you or even track you, or use your images to make AI porn, warned cybersecurity and privacy expert, Laura Kankaala at F-Secure, speaking to DailyMail.com Even smart light bulbs can pose a problem, she explained. Cyberstalking affects millions of Americans, with three million people stalked using technology in 2019, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.


10 Industries Revolutionized by Deep Learning

#artificialintelligence

Deep learning is a subset of machine learning, which both fall under the artificial intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IoT) umbrellas. Without deep learning applications, though, automation and intelligence would not be where they are today. For instance, AI in manufacturing has come a long way with tech like predictive maintenance. Here are 10 examples of the deep learning revolution. One of the most common deep learning applications is with digital assistants.


Coronavirus Is Changing How We Live, Work, and Use Tech--Permanently

#artificialintelligence

Within a week, many world leaders went from downplaying the seriousness of coronavirus to declaring a state of emergency. Even the most efficacious of nations seem to be simultaneously confused and exasperated, with delayed responses revealing incompetence and inefficiency the world over. So this begs the question: why is it so difficult for us to comprehend the scale of what an unmitigated global pandemic could do?

Part of the reason we've struggled so much applying basic math to our practical environment is because humans think linearly.
