France's Macron warns against 'punitive' AI regulation
Write a comment
Paris (AFP) Nov 17, 2023
The European Union must avoid overly restrictive regulation of artificial intelligence technologies, French President Emmanuel Macron said Friday.
The 27-nation bloc has been working all year on its AI Act, with officials hoping for an agreement by the end of the year.
"Regulation must be controlled, not punitive, to preserve innovation," Macron said of the EU's efforts.

Virtual Observatory provides first look at the Solar poles
Write a comment
Boulder CO (SPX) Nov 20, 2023
Scientists are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to view the Sun's poles - or at least produce an educated guess of what the Sun's poles might look like, since they've never been observed before.
"The best way to see the solar poles is obviously to send more satellites, but that is very expensive," said Benoit Tremblay, a researcher at the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Natio

Tucson AZ (SPX) Nov 18, 2023
Scientists from the Planetary Science Institute have uncovered evidence of potential salt glaciers on Mercury, opening a new frontier in astrobiology by revealing a volatile environment that might echo habitability conditions found in Earth's extreme locales.

SpaceX launched its giant new rocket but explosions end the second test flight
Write a comment
SpaceX launched its mega rocket Starship but lost both the booster and the spacecraft in a pair of explosions minutes into Saturday's test flight.
The rocketship reached space following liftoff from South Texas, but communication suddenly was lost. SpaceX officials said it appears the ship's self-destruct system blew it up over the Gulf of Mexico.
The flight came to an end as the ship's engines were almost done firing to put it on an around-the-world path. The first test flight in April also ended in an explosion.
On Saturday, about three minutes into flight, the separated booster also exploded over the gulf. By then, though, its job was done.
