The U.S. Department of Justice is considering asking a federal judge to force Google to sell parts of its business in order to eliminate its online search monopoly.

Tesla’s unveiling of its Robotaxi tomorrow should finally offer us a better look at CEO Elon Musk’s next big project. But it’s likely we won’t come away knowing much—or not enough—about the technology underpinning the self-driving system.
Tesla relies on neural networks—which mimic the way the brain works in silico—to comprehend the road experience, and take actions much in the same way a human dr
The “Chat” in ChatGPT’s name neatly encapsulates a major element of why OpenAI’s AI-infused assistant has had such epoch-shifting impact. We’ve been using PCs and phones to chat with humans for years—at least since the era of AOL Instant Messenger.

Where there’s water, there’s life. At least on Earth. So, do the same rules apply off-world? We sent the Perseverance rover to an ancient Martian lakebed to gather clues of past life. By that logic, could a probe to a presumed icy ocean on Jupiter’s moon, Europa, find potential for current life?
That’s the hope propelling the Europa Clipper, the largest NASA spacecraft developed for a planetary mission and the
As Election Day approaches, concerns about voter accuracy and the upholding of Democracy are mounting. Bradley Tusk, a political strategist and former Uber adviser, proposes a solution: mobile voting. Just as Uber revolutionized how we catch a ride home, Tusk argues that mobile voting could eliminate friction from the basic civil right to vote, and in the process, diffuse the nation’s divisive political reality.
Epic Games scored a massive victory against Google Monday, when the judge overseeing the case issued his final ruling, ordering the company to largely open up its Google Play app store to competition for the next three years.
