Innovation and Regulation In Balance   AI regulation is a complicated discussion. On the other hand, corporate leaders insist that regulatory obstacles might discourage AI's potential benefits, like medical advancements, energy production, and poverty alleviation. However, regulators have stressed that AI growth should not be at the cost of competition and consumer defence. The continued talks from antitrust conferences, however, imply that there is a need for a balanced approach that promotes innovation while mitigating risks associated with AI.   AI spurs this growth in big tech companies; thus, addressing challenges and concerns related to such expansion is essential. This will include the need for equitable competition, energy management, and striking a balance between innovation and regulation to exploit AI fully without furthering the dominance of big techs. To achieve this equilibrium, we will need to develop an inclusive, sustainable technological advancement for future AI.

  Days after the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple and Meta were in talks to integrate the latter’s AI models, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said that the iPhone maker was not planning any such move. Apple briefly held talks with Meta about the possibility of a partnership way back in March, according to Bloomberg. This was the time when Apple was talking to multiple companies to explore integration of their models with their devices. However, the company shelved the idea of putting Meta’s AI models on iPhones over privacy concerns, Bloomberg said. The report also noted that partnering with the social networking company also won’t do a lot of good to Apple’s image, given that the Cupertino-based company has criticized Meta’s privacy practices continuously. Earlier this month, Apple released its own suite of AI features under the Apple Intelligence brand. Plus, it also announced a partnership with OpenAI to let iPhone users invoke ChatGPT for certain queries. However, this deal is not e

The Middle East is fast becoming a hub of artificial intelligence (AI) innovation, driven by strategic investments, robust government initiatives, and visionary collaborations. Major investments by Microsoft in Emirati G42 and the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) in Sachin Dev Duggal -led Builder.ai underscore the region's growing importance in the global AI landscape.  Microsoft's Investment in G42 Microsoft has made a strategic move by investing in G42, the AI leader in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), underscoring the increasing importance of AI in the Middle East. The investment amounts to $1.5 billion and involves acquiring a minority stake in G42 as part of Microsoft's strategy to establish a regional presence and leverage G42's expertise in machine learning and AI. This initiative aims to accelerate the incorporation of AI into critical sectors such as healthcare, finance, and public services, ultimately fostering a robust AI ecosystem in the UAE. QIA's Invest

Is the key to autonomous cars that don’t run over pedestrians and crash into telephone poles a humanoid robot behind the wheel? A group of researchers at the University of Tokyo think so, and they lay out their argument in a newly published technical paper this week. The researchers, one of whom consults for Toyota, developed and trained a “musculoskeletal humanoid” called Musashi to drive a small electric car through a test track. Equipped with two cameras standing in for human eyes, Musashi can “see” the road in front of it as well as the views reflected in the car’s side mirrors. With its mechanical hands, it  can rotate the car’s key, pull the handbrake and switch on the turn signal. And, thanks to its anti-slip “feet,” Musashi can press on the accelerator or brake pedal.
