Seafood is the largest traded food commodity by value. It is also a distinctly tough commodity to track. Many fishing ships operate on the high seas where governments hold limited jurisdiction. There are dozens of handoffs after catch, from fishing boats to carrier ships to trucks to processing plants to exporters and importers; seafood often travels thousands of miles before arriving on consumers’ plates.
In an attempt to monitor this complicated supply chain, many seafood b
Artificial intelligence is fascinating and may well turn out to be the next big thing in the business world, but it might not deserve as much of your company’s attention as it’s currently dominating.
That’s according to Deloitte’s annual Tech Trends report, which assesses what’s hot now and what’s on the horizon for enterprise technology. For the past 15 years, the study has looked down the road to help businesses prepare for the future. And
Roku isn’t the underdog in streaming anymore.
Years ago, the company foretold how it would withstand competition from the likes of Amazon, Google, and Apple. While those companies fixated on streaming boxes and dongles, Roku’s plan involved shipping its software on cheap TVs from up-and-coming brands, keeping that software conservatively simple, and making money from the ads and other revenues that flow through its platform.
It worked. Roku’s software
The rampant increase of hate messages on social media is a scourge in today’s technology-infused society. Racism, homophobia, xenophobia, and even personal attacks on people who have the audacity to disagree with someone else’s political opinion—these and other forms of online hate present an ugly side of humanity.
The derision on social media appears in vile and profane terms for all to see. Obviously, the sole purpose of posting online hate
We knew artificial intelligence would cost jobs, but no one expected George Bailey and Santa to be among the first impacted.
AI is seeping into the holiday season. And it’s quickly becoming nearly as pervasive as that Mariah Carey Christmas song. There are Santa chatbots, AI gift-guide aids and, in a particularly galling move, an AI-generated Jimmy Stewart to tell you a bedtime story.
OpenAI is the biggest name in the AI holiday rush. The company behind ChatGPT roll
Gamers got their first look at the eagerly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI 15 hours earlier than they expected. And they looked again and again and again.
The buzzy trailer, which wasn’t expected to drop until Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. ET, got released hours earlier due to a leak, and has shattered online records with more than 80 million views and counting. It quickly became the most-viewed nonmusic video in the 24 hours following its release, blowing past the previous record of
With consequential Supreme Court rulings on topics like abortion and voting rights in recent years, Americans may be forgiven if their interest isn’t exactly piqued by a legal battle concerning the tax code. But a case currently in front of the high court, although it has largely flown under the radar, has huge implications: It could rewrite parts of the tax code, and nix any hopes for the introduction of a “wealth tax” in the future.
This week, the Supreme Cour
At least 6.9 million users of 23andMe’s services have had their data accessed by hackers. That number is roughly half of 23andMe’s estimated 14 million user base. The original hack happened in October, but it was not publicly known just how many users were affected until this week.
According to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing by 23andMe, the October hack originally accessed “a very small percentage (0.1%) of user accounts” by using compr
Wikipedia is seen by many as one of the front pages of the internet and a major contributor and documenter of human knowledge. Which is what makes the annual rankings of the most popular pages on the user-generated, collaborative encyclopedia so interesting.
On Tuesday, the Wikimedia Foundation, which oversees the website, published its list of the most-trafficked pages so far this year (it’ll update the list with final numbers early into 2024). Topping the list: ChatGPT, the
Inventions like electricity and microwaves that we take for granted seemed otherworldly not too long ago. Taking a chance on new technology is part of venture firm Lux Capital ideology: “We believe before others understand.”
Josh Wolfe, Lux Capital’s cofounder, started the firm with a mission to support scientists and entrepreneurs —even if their ideas might seem outside the box to the general public. Today, Wolfe is funding advances in industries like bi
