💥 OpenAI wants to eliminate restrictions on the AI industry LINK
  • OpenAI has urged the U.S. government to prioritize rapid AI development over regulatory hurdles, expressing concerns about competition from Chinese AI firms and proposing a voluntary collaboration with the federal sector.
  • The company advocated for a faster approval process for AI tools used by federal agencies, emphasizing the need for a temporary waiver to bypass current certification requirements, which it claims will expedite AI integration by up to a year.
  • OpenAI suggested closer government partnerships with private AI companies for national security purposes and recommended banning Chinese AI models like DeepSeek's, citing potential security risks and intellectual property concerns.
🔒 Apple to support encrypted RCS messaging with Android LINK
  • Apple and Android devices will soon be able to exchange encrypted RCS messages, following updates to the RCS specifications announced by the GSM Association.
  • The new RCS standard, which includes end-to-end encryption based on the Messaging Layer Security protocol, was developed with the help of mobile operators, device manufacturers, and tech providers.
  • Apple plans to implement support for encrypted RCS messages across its various operating systems in future updates, enhancing privacy and security for users exchanging texts with different platforms.
🪐 Nvidia names new chips after Vera Rubin, woman who discovered dark matter LINK
  • Nvidia is set to unveil its latest AI graphics processor named "Rubin," in honor of American astronomer Vera Rubin, at the company's annual GTC conference.
  • Rubin made significant contributions to the understanding of dark matter and advocated for women in science, making her a fitting namesake for Nvidia's next-generation chip platform.
  • Nvidia has a tradition of naming its GPU architectures after renowned scientists, aiming to achieve recognition similar to its previous platforms, such as Hopper and Blackwell, in the tech industry.
🔊 AirPods to get live translation feature LINK
  • Apple plans to introduce a live translation feature to AirPods later this year, allowing users to hear translations of other languages directly through their earbuds.
  • The new translation capability will be part of a software update tied to iOS 19 and will work with existing AirPods models, eliminating the need for special hardware.
  • Apple's live translation feature comes after similar offerings from competitors like Google, whose Pixel Buds have provided real-time language conversion for several years.
🔍 Oracle could end up running TikTok LINK
  • TikTok is considering a partnership with Oracle as its American cloud technology partner as it seeks to secure its future in the United States.
  • The social media platform must sell to a US-based company by April 2025 to continue its operations in the country, although it's uncertain if an agreement will be reached by then.
  • Oracle, led by CEO Larry Ellison, who is a known ally of former President Donald Trump, has been providing cloud services to TikTok since 2022, making it a potential candidate for managing the app's US operations.
