The Supreme Court of the United States is hearing arguments today to decide the fate of TikTok.
Lawmakers believe the app, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, poses a threat to national security. This led a bipartisan group to enact a l
When Russell Maichel started growing almonds, walnuts and pistachios in the 1980s, he didn’t own a cellphone. Now, a fully autonomous tractor drives through his expansive orchard, spraying pesticides and fertilizer to protect the trees that have for decades filled him with an immense sense of pride.
“The sustainability of doing things perfectly the first time makes a lot of sense,” the first-generation farmer told The Associated Press at CES 2025, where John Deere un
DoorDash is expanding its portable benefits pilot program to certain gig workers in Georgia starting next year, the food-delivery giant tells Fast Company.
Dashers (which is what DoorDash calls its gig workers) who earn at least $1,000 in the first quarter of 2025, excluding tips, will be eligible to open a portable benefits savings ac
To get from 0 to 60 in Formula 1 engine design while competing against organizations with much more experience, Red Bull Ford Powertrains will need extra help (and, no, that boost won’t come in the form of a certain energy drink).
The Red Bull-Ford collaborative venture is turning to the cloud by leaning on its software-giant sponsor’s Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

I am not what you would call a finely tuned athletic machine. I am, if anything, an outdated lawnmower engine held together by duct tape and rust. So when I was offered the opportunity to let AI help make me a better athlete at CES, I jumped at the opportunity.
The offer came from the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), a non-profit that uses applied research to drive industrial development. They were showing off a n
There’s been plenty of speculation about whether generative AI could replace—or perhaps work alongside—human creativity. Indeed, many already use popular generative AI tools to create illustrations and even audio and video.

It’s hard to remember now, as you scroll through a thicket of porn bots, anti-trans activists, and AI slop, but there was a time when Twitter was credibly labeled our “global town square.” Certainly, the social media platform proved a central meeting place for Arab Spring and Black Li
When Meta established its Oversight Board to adjudicate on decisions it made about removing content from its platforms in 2020, the goal was for the select group of individuals from the media, civil society, and academia, to act as a check on the tech company’s decisions.

When a devastating wildfire hit California in November 2018, a powerful CEO went on Twitter to ask how his company could help. That CEO’s name was Elon Musk.
What a difference six years can make. The contrast between Musk’s 2018 tweet and his response to the infernos currently raging through Southern California is stark. Th
There are surely many reasons that the parents of tech icon Michael Dell did not name him Inspiron or XPS. For one, Dell’s parents aren’t Elon Musk.
