Apple ordered to pay $5.7bn in haptic tech patent case (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Apple has been ordered to pay $5.7bn (£4.3bn) in damages after a US jury found it had used another firm's tech without permission. Audio firm Taction Technology claimed in 2021 that Apple had infringed two of its patents for haptics systems, which enable vibrations for actions such as receiving a message or pressing a button. This tech is built into devices like the iPhone and Apple Watch. Apple has been approached for comment. In a statement given to news outlets including CNBC, external, the c
Why are there concerns AI could threaten humanity? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In recent weeks, warnings about potential dangers of AI have spurred calls for coordinated action to slow the technology's development. Claims by current and former researchers that the tech will endanger humanity - with one suggesting there is a greater than 10% chance of it "killing all humans" - have raised alarm bells.

The UK watchdog said its researchers were able to book a bogus stay at the prime minister's address - as well as leave a fake review noting "hanging out" with resident mouser Larry the cat as a highlight. It said despite clear signs it was fake, Booking.com did not remove the listing until two months after it was uploaded. "This limited test is not a true reflection of the experienc
First OpenAI, now Meta - why do AI hacks keep happening? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the last fortnight, reports of AI models going beyond their expected bounds - be that technically or morally - have been seemingly unavoidable. What started with a trickle - ChatGPT-maker OpenAI admitting their AI had hacked the site Hugging Face - has turned into a flood of groups revealing they had discovered instances of AI going out of control. Claude-maker Anthropic, Meta and the UK's AI Security Institute (AISI) have now each reported incidents which seem to paint a worrying picture o
