France's Macron warns against 'punitive' AI regulation
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
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

PSI unveils Mercury's hidden glaciers, suggesting new astrobiological insights
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.
"Our finding complements other recent research showing that Pluto has nitrogen glaciers, implying that the glaciation phenomenon ext

Cube Quest concludes: Wins an lessons learned from Centennial Challenge
Washington DC (SPX) Nov 20, 2023
Artemis I launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Nov. 16, 2022, penning a new era of space exploration and inching the agency closer to sending the first woman and first person of color to the lunar surface.
Aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket were 10 small satellites, no bigger than shoeboxes, whose goal was to detach and capably perform operations near and beyond

SpaceX launched its giant new rocket but explosions end the second test flight
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.
