Europe Aims for Leadership Role in Quantum Computing
The topic of quantum computing occupied an entire day at the recent PUZZLE X conference in Barcelona–with visionaries such as Nobel laureate Sir Roger Penrose, Bob Coecke (Quantinuum), Brian Subirana (Harvard and MIT), and Marta Estarellas (Qilimanjaro) served up as speakers. Soon, Qilimanjaro will install two quantum computers at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), with plans to participate in additional European tenders for installing quantum computers in high-performance computing (HPC) centers. Once the installation at the BSC headquarters is completed, Spain will have the first purely European quantum computer for public use in southern Europe, integrated with the MareNostrum 5 supercomputer, the most powerful in Southern Europe and among the most advanced worldwide.

Is Software and Hardware Ready for TinyML Tsunami?
Engineers working on embedding AI in edge devices who are just now doing their first machine learning project have high hurdles to overcome, but recent developments in the industry may offer encouragement. TinyML is a type of machine learning (ML) that allows models to run on smaller, less-powerful devices on the edge. It’s deployed in applications ranging from continuously monitoring machines for predictive maintenance purposes to smart home appliances.

Final Fantasy-utvecklaren: Konsoler kommer vara utdöda inom loppet av tio år
Att blicka in i kristallkulan och försöka förutspå branschens framtid är något som många försöker sig på, och nu har Naoki Yoshida, en av veteranerna hos Square Enix, också delat med sig av sina tankar. Den nu 50-årige producenten har trots allt hängt med ett tag och enligt honom kommer konsoler i dess nuvarande form försvinna inom loppet av tio år. Istället är det molnbaserade lösningar som kommer att ta över, och spelen kommer att strömmas till användare världen över. Tech som så klart redan finns idag men som över de kommande åren tveklöst kommer att både förfinas och förbättras avsevärt. Något som Yoshida ser väldigt mycket fram emot, och som i hans tycke egentligen redan borde ha skett

Google’s Gemini Is the Real Start of the Generative AI Boom
Google’s release of Gemini, claimed to be a fundamentally new kind of AI model and the company’s most powerful to date. In fact, although the 12 months since ChatGPT launched have been a banner year for AI, there is good reason to think that the current AI boom is only getting started. Google had already rushed out a direct response to ChatGPT in the form of Bard earlier this year, finally launching LLM chatbot technology that it had developed earlier than OpenAI but chosen to keep private. With Gemini it claims to have opened a new era that goes beyond LLMs primarily anchored to text—potentially setting the stage for a new round of AI products significantly different from those enabled by ChatGPT.

The EU has launched a €1.2 billion cloud project to crack US dominance
The EU has approved state aid of up to €1.2 billion for a cloud and edge computing project across Europe in a bid to compete more effectively with the US. The scheme, called IPCEI Next Generation Cloud Infrastructure and Services (IPCEI CIS), has been backed by France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain, and is aimed at creating the first interoperable and openly accessible European data processing ecosystem. "The IPCEI will provide for highly ambitious research, necessary to enable the uptake of innovative data processing applications and services for European businesses, public administrations, and citizens." The plan is to develop open source software that will allow for real-time and low-latency services, EU lawmakers said, with individual projects covering the entire cloud edge continuum, from the basic software layer to sector-specific applications.

Googles megaförändring slår mot e-handlarna: ”Drastisk minskning”
I mars nästa år händer det grejer. Då rullar EU ut det nya direktivet Digital Markets Act, som kommer att leda till hårdare EU-tag mot datainsamlingen på och via Google. Det blir bland annat en uppstramning kring hur e-handlare får samla in det användarsamtycke, som krävs för att få använda Googles tjänster.
