US energy chief says nuclear fusion will soon power the world
BRUSSELS – Don't worry too much about planet-warming emissions, the US Energy Secretary has told the BBC, because within five years AI will have enabled the harnessing of nuclear fusion – the energy that powers the sun and stars.Chris Wright said in an interview that he expected the technology to deliver power to electricity grids around the world within eight to 15 years and that it would rapidly become a big driver of greenhouse gas reductions.His claims will likely surprise even enthusiasts for the technology.Harnessing the energy released when atoms fuse together could produce vast amounts of low carbon energy but most scientists believe commercial fusion power plants are still a long way off."With artificial intelligence and what's going on at the national labs and...

Newspapers are banking on online revenue to replace falling circulation
Publishers fear AI summaries are hitting online traffic
LONDON — When actress Sorcha Cusack left the BBC drama Father Brown in January, it made headlines, including for the newspapers owned by Reach, among them The Mirror, and the Daily Express.But the story did not generate the traction the Reach newspapers would have expected a year ago, or even at the start of the year.Reach put this down to AI Overviews (AIO) – the AI summary at the top of the Google results page.Instead of clicking through to the story on a Reach newspaper site, readers were happy with the AI overview.The feature is a concern for newspapers and other media publishers, who have already seen much of their advertising revenue siphoned off by social media.In a tough market, readers coming via Google search is a valuable source of traffic."A major worry, backed by some...

Google told to pay $425m in privacy lawsuit
WASHINGTON — A US federal court has told Google to pay $425m (£316.3m) for breaching users' privacy by collecting data from millions of users even after they had turned off a tracking feature in their Google accounts.The verdict comes after a group of users brought the case claiming Google accessed users' mobile devices to collect, save and use their data, in violation of privacy assurances in its Web & App Activity setting.They had been seeking more than $31bn in damages."This decision misunderstands how our products work, and we will appeal it. Our privacy tools give people control over their data, and when they turn off personalisation, we honour that choice," a Google spokesperson told the BBC.The jury in the case found the internet search giant liable to two of...

OpenAI puts parental controls in ChatGPT but critics say it is a ‘vague promise’
BOSTON — OpenAI has announced a series of parental controls for its AI chatbot ChatGPT, which includes notifying parents when their child is distressed.It comes after a lawsuit was filed against the company and its CEO Sam Altman by the parents of 16-year-old Adam Raine, who committed suicide in April.The parents alleged that ChatGPT created a psychological dependency in Adam, coaching him to plan and take his own life earlier this year and even wrote a suicide note for him.OpenAI says new parental controls that will allow adults to manage which features their children can use on the service will be made available within the next month.OpenAI’s controls will let parents link their account with their children’s and allow them to manage which features their child can access. This also...

Although Google will not be forced to sell of its Chrome browser or Android, it will have to make certain search data available to qualified competitors to promote competition
Google will not be forced to sell off Chrome or Android, judge rules in landmark antitrust ruling
WASHINGTON — A court will not force Google to sell off its Chrome browser or Android, a federal judge said in a court filing on Tuesday. The decision serves as a significant win for the tech company, which has avoided the most extreme possible outcome from a landmark antitrust case that determined the company was operating an illegal online search monopoly.Although Google will not be forced to sell of its Chrome browser or Android, it will have to make certain search data available to qualified competitors to promote competition. It will also be barred from entering into or maintaining exclusive contracts related to the distribution of services like Chrome, Search, the Google Assistant and its Gemini app.Those agreements provide a significant source of revenue for Google and broad access...

Data centres, like this one Google is building in Hertfordshire, are becoming a more familiar sight across the UK
Data centers to be expanded across UK as concerns mount
LONDON — The number of data centers in the UK is set to increase by almost a fifth, according to figures shared with BBC News.Data centers are giant warehouses full of powerful computers used to run digital services from movie streaming to online banking - there are currently an estimated 477 of them in the UK.Construction researchers Barbour ABI have analysed planning documents and say that number is set to jump by almost 100, as the growth in artificial intelligence (AI) increases the need for processing power.The majority are due to be built in the next five years. However, there are concerns about the huge amount of energy and water the new data centres will consume.Some experts have warned it could drive up prices paid by consumers.More than half of the new data centres would be in...

Elon Musk threatens to sue Apple for not ranking X or Grok among its top apps
WASHINGTON — Billionaire SpaceX, Tesla, and X owner Elon Musk says he plans to sue Apple for not featuring X and its Grok artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot app in its top recommended apps in its App Store.Musk posted the comments on X late Monday, saying, “Hey @Apple App Store, why do you refuse to put either X or Grok in your ‘Must Have’ section when X is the #1 news app in the world and Grok is #5 among all apps? Are you playing politics? What gives? Inquiring minds want to know”.Grok is owned by Musk’s AI startup xAI.Musk went on to say that “Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation. xAI will take immediate legal action”.He gave no further...

Chris Pelkey's AI-rendered impact statement shown in court
Arizona man shot to death in road rage 'returns' to address his killer
PHOENIX — Chris Pelkey died in a road rage shooting in Arizona three years ago.But with the help of artificial intelligence, he returned earlier this month at his killer's sentencing to deliver a victim's statement himself.Family members said they used the burgeoning technology to let Pelkey use his own words to talk about the incident that took his life.While some experts argue the unique use of AI is just another step into the future, others say it could become a slippery slope for using the technology in legal cases.His family used voice recordings, videos and pictures of Pelkey, who was 37 when he was killed, to recreate him in a video using AI, his sister Stacey Wales told the BBC.Ms Wales said she wrote the words that the AI version read in court based on how forgiving she...

The all-cash takeover of privately held Wiz represents a big bet by Google on cloud security and cybersecurity in this period of explosive growth for artificial intelligence
Google makes its biggest-ever acquisition
NEW YORK — Google announced a deal Tuesday to buy rapidly growing cybersecurity firm Wiz for $32 billion. It would be the tech giant’s biggest-ever acquisition.The all-cash takeover of privately held Wiz represents a big bet by Google on cloud security and cybersecurity in this period of explosive growth for artificial intelligence.The Wiz deal, which is subject to regulatory approval, easily surpasses Google’s previously biggest takeover: An ill-fated 2012 deal to buy Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion. Google would later unload Motorola for a big loss.Wiz, which makes cybersecurity software for cloud computing, was in talks last summer to sell itself to Google for about a $23 billion, sources previously told CNN. But the two sides failed to reach a deal and Wiz said it would...

India has still not developed its own foundational language model like DeepSeek that's used to power things like chatbots
India seeks AI breakthrough — but is it falling behind?
NEW DELHI — Two years after ChatGPT took the world by storm, China's DeepSeek has sent ripples through the tech industry by collapsing the cost of developing generative artificial intelligence applications.But as the global race for AI supremacy heats up, India appears to have fallen behind, especially in creating its own foundational language model that's used to power things like chatbots.The government claims a homegrown equivalent to DeepSeek isn't far away. It is supplying startups, universities and researchers with thousands of high-end chips needed to develop it in under 10 months.A flurry of global AI leaders have also been talking up India's capabilities recently.After being initially dismissive, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman this month said India should be playing a...
