EU lawmakers ratify political deal on artificial intelligence rules
Two key groups of lawmakers at the European Parliament on Tuesday ratified a provisional agreement on landmark artificial intelligence rules ahead of a vote by the legislative assembly in April that will pave the way for the world's first legislation on the technology. Called the AI Act, the new rules aim to set the guardrails for a technology used in a broad swathe of industries, ranging from banking to cars to electronic products and airlines, as well as for security and police purposes.

Cookies i webbläsaren på väg bort – då spåras användarna med annan teknik
När Google och andra planerar att slopa tredjepartsspårare för sökningar och webbplatser, kommer andra sätt att identifiera användare och upptäcka deras vanor att ersätta dem. Under de senaste åren har annonsbranschen på nätet genomgått en genomgripande förändring, eftersom tillsynsmyndigheterna har begränsat hur cookies får användas och webbläsarleverantörerna har slutat att använda dem, som svar på konsumenternas protester när det gäller integritetsfrågor. "De känner sig ofta övervakade; vissa tycker till och med att det är 'läskigt' att en webbplats kan visa dem annonser som är relaterade till deras beteende på andra ställen", säger en färsk studie från HEC Paris Business School.

De gamla 2G- och 3G-näten släcks
Utfasningen av 2G och 3G kommer att genomföras fram till slutet av 2025 och stängningen av 2G är tänkt att genomföras samtliga operatörer i slutet av 2025. Utfasningen av 3G har redan pågått en tid och där rapporteras att mer än halva 3G-nätet redan har slocknat. Nedstängningen av de gamla näten innebär att mer kapacitet kan läggas på de nyare 4G- och 5G-näten.

Gigabit infrastructure act: Council and Parliament strike a deal for faster deployment of high-speed networks in the EU
To accelerate the deployment of gigabit network infrastructure across Europe, the Council presidency and European Parliament’s negotiators reached a provisional agreement today on a proposal to replace the 2014 broadband cost-reducing directive (BCRD) by the gigabit infrastructure act (GIA). "In Europe, the roll-out of fibre and 5G could be a lot easier with less administration. We are tackling that administrative burden through the so-called Gigabit Infrastructure Act. We have struck a preliminary agreement with the European Parliament now. This would allow European citizens to surf faster using fibre or 5G."

GenAI is moving to your smartphone, PC and car — here’s why
Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) like ChatGPT has to date mostly made its home in the massive data centers of service providers and enterprises. One problem with a cloud-based system is that the underlying large language models (LLMs) running in data centers consume massive GPU cycles and electricity, not only to power applications but to train genAI models on big data and proprietary corporate data. The answer, according to Gold and others, is to put genAI processing on edge devices. That's why, over the next several years, silicon makers are turning their attention to PCs, tablets, smartphones, even cars, which will allow them to essentially offload processing from data centers.

EU states greenlight landmark new AI rules
EU member states on Friday approved landmark rules on reining in artificial intelligence, after tough last-mile negotiations on the legislation billed as a world first. The EU law will regulate AI systems based on risk assessments of the software models involved—to be carried out by the firms themselves. Berlin and Paris had been particularly keen to protect AI startups, to prevent the rules from inhibiting future "European AI champions". Seeking to address their concerns, the EU's executive arm in late January launched a package of pro-innovation measures to support European startups in AI development.
