We want to accelerate AI innovation without locking it down
"We want people to understand that this is a good faith effort to provide greater clarity and certainty to the public, while at the same time underscoring our desire for people to trust AI and use it responsibly to bring innovative products to market," said USPTO Director Cathy Vidal. The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) today announced that it has updated its subject matter eligibility guidance to more directly address emerging technologies, specifically artificial intelligence (AI). The guidance also includes three new detailed examples using hypothetical claims to address common situations, such as whether a claim recites an abstract idea and whether a claim integrates an abstract idea into a practical application. The right balance The USPTO last updated its eligibility guidance in 2019, under former USPTO Director Andrei Iancu, in an effort to help examiners apply the two-part Alice/Mayo test more predictably. In an exclusive interview with Gene Quinn, CEO and founder of IPWatchdogs, Vidal said that today's guidance is not a departure from that, but is intended to provide additional examples based on the patent office's collective history since 2019. Overall, when it comes to policy at the intersection of AI and intellectual property, Vidal said, we want people to use AI, we want people to innovate with AI, we want people to embrace AI, but we want to make sure we strike the right balance so that AI is used for innovation and not used to stifle innovation. Referring to the Patent Office's February 2024 guidelines for determining inventorship of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted inventions, Vidal explained what negative consequences could result from failing to strike this balance. If we allow A.I. [to obtain] With U.S. patents, someone is free to use AI to invent any chair, regardless of what role AI played in the invention process. And they'll patent any chair. And they'll lock in innovation. We want to accelerate innovation and also get it to market. We don't want to lock people out of being able to patent in that field. The February inventorship guidelines clarified that AI-assisted inventions are not categorically unpatentable, but that inventorship analysis should focus on human contributions because patents function to encourage and reward human ingenuity. Comments closed on June 20, and Vidal said the patent office received 66 unique comments, most of which agreed with the basic principles that 1) inventors must be natural persons, 2) the focus of the investigation should be human contributions, and 3) AI-assisted inventions are not categorically unpatentable. In a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, former USPTO directors Iancu and David Kappos charged that the inventor guidelines could inadvertently hinder inventors' use of artificial intelligence tools. The eligibility guidance issued today includes a section indicating that whether an invention was created with the assistance of AI is not a consideration in application of the Alice/Mayo test and the USPTO eligibility guidance and does not preclude USPTO personnel from determining that a claim is subject matter eligible. The previous guidance was successful Citing USPTO rejection data, Vidal said that since 2019, the USPTO's SME (subject matter eligibility) rejection rate has been consistently below 11%. The rate in February 2023 was 8.7%. Furthermore, Vidal added that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board has consistently upheld examiners' decisions on SME rejections at a rate higher than the average rate of reviewed rejections. In 2021, the Board upheld these rejections about 87% of the time. The CAFC has upheld the Patent Office 100% of the time on SME rejections appealed to the CAFC (85 appeals) since the 2019 guidance was introduced. Vidal said this success rate is why he focused on issuing guidance in the AI field. The same playbook can create consistency. [eligibility] The guidance works, and we're not trying to change it, just adding clarity and providing examples in an AI context. update The JPO issued a Request for Comments (RFC) in 2019, seeking comments on patenting AI inventions. Those comments were compiled in a report published in October 2020, which found that patent system users are divided on whether the current intellectual property framework is sufficient to address AI inventions or whether new laws are needed. Today's updated guidance notes that some commenters were concerned that AI inventions could be characterized as abstract ideas and therefore at risk under the subject matter eligibility analysis. According to the Guidance, stakeholder feedback indicates that there are certain areas of particular concern when considering subject matter eligibility for AI inventions: (1) evaluating whether the claims recite an abstract idea under Criterion 1 of Step 2A, and (2) evaluating consideration of improvements under Criterion 2 of Step 2A. Accordingly, this guidance includes several examples of AI claims that do and do not recite an abstract idea to help examiners make this evaluation. We first provide some non-limiting hypothetical examples of claims that do not recite an abstract idea, and then provide examples from recent U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) cases regarding representative claims. Regarding claims that do not recite an abstract idea in the form of a mathematical concept, the Guidance points to XY, LLC v. Trans Ova Genetics, 968 F.3d 1323, 1330-32 (Fed. Cir. 2020), where the CAFC held that the claims at issue, even though they did contain a mathematical concept, were not directed to the abstract idea of using a mathematical formula that allows for rotating multidimensional data. As judicial examples where claims directed at particular ways of organizing human activity cannot be granted, the guidelines cite cases such as Weisner v. Google LLC, 51 F.4th 1073, 1082 (Fed. Cir. 2022), Elec. Commcn Techs., LLC v. ShoppersChoice.com, LLC, 958 F.3d 1178, 1181 (Fed. Cir. 2020), and Bozeman Fin. LLC v. Fed. Reserve Bank of Atlanta, 955 F.3d 971, 978 (Fed. Cir. 2020). An example of a claim that does not recite a mental process because it cannot actually be carried out in the human mind is the RFID transponder claim at issue in ADASA Inc. v. Avery Dennison Corp., 55 F.4th 900, 909 (Fed. Cir. 2022). The Guidance then provides an example of the second test in Step 2A, whether evaluation of the claim as a whole integrates the judicial exception into its practical application. While the Guidance notes that an improvement in judicial exceptions is not, in and of itself, an improvement in technology, it cites In re Board of Trustees of Leland Stanford Junior University, 989 F.3d 1367, 1370, 1373 (Fed. Cir. 2021) (Stanford I) and points to McRO, Inc. v. Bandai Namco Games America Inc., 837 F.3d 1299 (Fed. Cir. 2016) as an exemplary case illustrating such an improvement. The Guidance explains: The Court found that incorporating certain claimed rules into computer animation [the] existing technological process. Therefore, USPTO personnel must analyze the claim as a whole when determining whether the claim provides an improvement in computer functionality or an improvement in another technology or technical field. This section also contains many other examples from Federal Circuit case law involving claims that improve upon technology and are not directed to judicial exceptions. The three new, and highly detailed, examples illustrate hypothetical cases of both eligible and ineligible claims under the guidelines, according to Vidal. from now on "Ultimately, we hope people will understand that this is a good faith effort to provide more clarity and certainty to the public, while at the same time reinforcing our desire for people to trust AI and use it responsibly to bring innovative products to market," Vidal said. Today's eligibility guidance will be open for comment for 60 days after publication, and Quinn asked Vidal about the types of comments the department is most likely to consider, given that the guidance goes into effect on July 17 and has already gone through an extensive review process that included international counterparts. "We're pretty confident about that," Vidal said. "That being said, there may be something in there that people want to comment on. The best feedback is the most specific feedback. Examiners will have the opportunity to give feedback as well. They're going to be trained and if there's anything they think could be expressed better, they can give us feedback." Vidal pointed again to the AI inventor guidance, saying one of the comments it was considering introducing asked for an example in the context of design patents. "This is a good comment and will further strengthen the guidance," she said. But, she added, "We welcome all feedback. This is a difficult issue and we are open to considering any ideas that fit with our mission and our goal of encouraging innovation, not locking it away, and harmonising it internationally." Vidal also told IPWatchdog that he would welcome potential legislation regarding eligibility, in the sense that anything that brings more clarity and certainty regarding eligibility would be a positive. He noted that the department has attempted to intervene through amicus briefs in cases such as David A. Tropp v. Travel Sentry, Inc. et al. and Interactive Wearables, LLC v. Polar Electric Oy, but they were never upheld. "Any mechanism that brings more clarity and certainty would be welcome," Vidal said. But when asked if the office should wait for legislation rather than issue guidance now, Vidal said the office cannot do that. We have to get the agencies up and running right now. As legislation is enacted, it may be necessary in certain areas as feedback comes back, but as far as the problems we can solve, we need to do what's best for the country with what we have right now. The USPTO also issued a notice this week about an upcoming listening session on "The Impact of the Rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Prior Art and Persons of Ordinary Skill in the Art (PHOSITA)." The event will be held at USPTO Headquarters on July 25th, and the deadline to register as a speaker is July 19th.

Intel Launches First U.S. Apprenticeship Program for Factory Technicians :: Intel Corporation (INTC)
The program will train installation technician apprentices over the next five years in Arizona. SANTA CLARA, Calif.-(BUSINESS WIRE)- What's New: Intel is launching its first U.S.-accredited apprenticeship program for factory technicians in Arizona, in collaboration with the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA), Phoenix Business and Workforce Development Board, SEMI Foundation, Maricopa Community Colleges District (MCCD) and Fresh Start Women's Foundation. The company plans to train factory technician apprentices over the next five years. Selected apprentices will be full-time Intel employees on day one and will earn a certificate and college credit upon completion of the one-year program. Factory technicians are responsible for setting up, maintaining and performing the complex machines used to manufacture semiconductors. There is a very small pool of trained candidates with this specific skill set. Intel's new apprenticeship program addresses this challenge by providing hands-on training in our factories, expanding the semiconductor industry's talent pool to meet the workforce demands of the future. Christy Pambianchi, Intel's Chief Human Resources Officer Why it matters: Traditional recruiting methods alone aren't enough to meet the growing demand for skilled semiconductor technicians. According to the SIA, the semiconductor industry is expected to create nearly 115,000 jobs by 2030, and about 58% of those new jobs are likely to go unfilled. Of those unfilled jobs, 39% are expected to be technician positions, most of which require two-year certificates or degrees. Apprenticeships are a practical and effective way to train individuals for these roles, benefiting both individuals and organisations. Apprentices gain valuable skills, experience and sector-specific knowledge, enabling them to access better career opportunities and contribute to a more skilled and competitive workforce. Apprenticeships are a way to attract diverse talent with a higher than average retention rate, with 90% of apprentices remaining with their employer after completing the programme. How it works: The one-year program will include a mix of classroom instruction and on-the-job training. Participants will be hired as Intel employees as they gain the basic skills needed for installation technician roles, including hand tool fundamentals with mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic and vacuum systems; electrical and electronics fundamentals; chemical and gas handling; and communication, problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Intel's apprenticeship program offers more technical skills than other opportunities within the industry, with an emphasis on hands-on skills in gas and chemical installation training. About Additional Workforce Development Efforts: This is one of Intel's many workforce development commitments, investing more than $250 million in university collaborations over the past five years. Intel continues to partner with community colleges and nonprofits in Arizona and Oregon through the two-week Quick Start pilot program and in New Mexico with a one- or two-term mechatronics certificate program. All of these efforts are designed to support the growing employment needs of the semiconductor industry and generate interest in new career paths in underserved communities. In Ohio, Intel is working with the Ohio Association of Community Colleges' Semiconductor Collaboration Network to launch programs and career pathways that aim to meet the demands of the semiconductor industry, foster economic development and provide accessible education across the state. Additionally, the Intel AI for Workforce program is a first-of-its-kind community-based university program offered at no cost to participating schools. It provides over 600 hours of artificial intelligence (AI) content, professional development for teachers, and implementation guidance. Next Steps: Intel will continue to prioritize workforce development initiatives that create inclusive pathways, improve people's lives, and enable the company to create life-changing technologies. With funding from CHIPS and Science Act, Intel hopes to expand the new apprenticeship program to its other U.S. sites. Background: Visit Intel.com/jobs to view all current job openings. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age and have a high school diploma or equivalent work experience. More context: Two members of Intel's Fresh Start program discuss training opportunities.

Tech leaders bullish, but investors cautious
While quantum computing's potential for advanced problem solving remains largely unproven, major technology companies remain in the sector and regions are competing for leadership in the field. Universities play a key role in quantum research, driving innovation and the commercialization potential of new technologies. Some cities have more expertise than others. Defense considerations influence government attention and funding, and the United States and China are competing for technology leadership, with the latter gaining the upper hand. The people selling quantum computing want you to start buying it. Early proponents of new products and industries often have financial incentives to succeed. This creates a tricky cycle: Are you betting on quantum computing because you believe in the technology, or are you betting on it because you believe in it? Probably both. So expect quantum enthusiasm from the management of IonQ, a publicly traded, university-based company based in Maryland that is staking its future on rapid developments in quantum computing. The company is one of several vying for authority in this as-yet-unproven advancement. How do you apply quantum technology to our toughest problems? "So," IonQ Chief Marketing Officer Margaret Arakawa said at a conference in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in May. As she stood onstage, she added with a polite chuckle: "Get out your credit cards." The Economics of Quantum Computing The quantum industry certainly needs more buyers: More than half of Americans used generative AI last year, but quantum computing is still relatively unknown. Investors flocked to the digital boom caused by the pandemic, but rising interest rates have hit the speculative quantum industry hard. The quantum industry relies on arcane physics that Einstein famously called "spooky action at a distance." Why bet on complex science when Treasury bonds offer excellent yields? Most of the big tech companies and conglomerates see the opportunity as great enough to keep their quantum divisions in business, including IBM, Intel, Google and Microsoft. Honeywell invested $300 million this year in a company called Quantinum, which it merged with in 2021. But it's the independent, publicly traded quantum companies that best represent the perilous fall from the pandemic bubble. At its peak in November 2021, IonQ's stock was trading at nearly $30 a share, but is now below $8. Canada-based D-Wave Quantum and French company Atos have also performed poorly. Atos is heavily in debt and the French government is rumored to be considering buying what it considers to be strategically important assets of the company. Quantum is not just one technology. Jonathan Felbinger, Quantum Economy Development Consortium To understand the importance of this industry, it helps to know the basics. Quantum computing relies on the amazing power of quantum mechanics to process information differently than traditional computers. Quantum bits, or qubits, can exist in multiple states simultaneously, allowing for much higher processing power in certain calculations. In 1994, mathematician Peter Shor published a groundbreaking paper identifying how a theoretical quantum computer could eliminate internet security threats without having to worry about passwords. Dreams of transforming drug discovery and genetic engineering followed, and advances in a variety of fields have been on the horizon. That sparked a boom in quantum-focused university research. Founded in 2012, the Pittsburgh Quantum Institute encompasses multiple research fields and institutions, including the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University, which opened its own new quantum research center last fall. The center is supported by the National Science Foundation and is committed to collaborations with government, academia and industry. Johns Hopkins University and the University of Delaware also boast quantum-focused departments that blend science and commerce. Last year, the University of Pennsylvania launched the Center for Quantum Information, Engineering, Science and Technology (QUIEST), which it calls an interdisciplinary field spanning physics, materials science and information science. Quantum is not a single technology, Jonathan Felbinger, deputy director of the Washington, DC-based Quantum Economy Development Consortium, told me recently. After decades of anticipation, Felbinger and other industry advocates are hoping to see quantum research put to practical use, which could also be a reputational and financial win for universities. While IonQ is a win for the University of Maryland, it's an incomplete victory for the university where the company's co-founder, Christopher Monroe, developed key intellectual property: In 2021, he moved to Duke University, where co-founder Jongsang Kim holds tenure. The two have since left their full-time roles at IonQ to return to academia, a testament to quantum's reliance on university research. CEO Peter Chapman boasted to Bloomberg last fall: "We have a relationship with Duke University, and the government-funded research being done there is exclusively licensed and made available royalty-free. [IonQ]. The need for national defense The motto of national defense resonates throughout the industry. Enthusiasts imagine reliable, efficient quantum computers that could outsmart rival cybersecurity strategies and accelerate other important discoveries, according to the 30-year-old Shaws paper. That claim may be true. It's also good business. Earlier this year, an industry commentator told me that "the best customer in the world is the federal government," and the best way to keep the federal government as a customer is to thoroughly scare them. Policymakers and federal officials are no doubt taking notice: DARPA is funding quantum experiments, and a congressional subcommittee recently called for a military-focused quantum computing laboratory. Last fall, IonQ announced a $25 million contract with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory to build two quantum computers. (The variety of architectures makes comparisons difficult, but one study estimated there are fewer than 150 quantum computers in the world, nearly half of which are operated by IBM.) After IonQ CMO Arakawa gave herself a quantum boost onstage at the conference in May, she was joined onstage by Chief Revenue Officer Rima Alameddine and former U.S. Senator from Tennessee and former Chattanooga Mayor Bob Corker. Flanked on either side by IonQ executives, Coker played the role of civic advocate: "We want a quantum computer in Chattanooga." He and other economic-development leaders are attracted to quantum technology because of its potential to create long-term jobs. Some see it as essential for a competitive advantage. Quantum technology, along with AI, semiconductors and other advanced technologies, has become one of the hottest battlegrounds in the escalating cold war between the U.S. and Chinese governments. At a quantum-focused session at the Chattanooga conference, a staff member for U.S. Representative Marsha Blackburn put it bluntly: "We view China as the greatest existential threat in many ways. This stance threatens to drive a divide between our two scientific superpowers." According to an OECD survey, as of 2021, the number of scientists returning to China has surpassed the number of scientists traveling to the United States, with quantum computing becoming a hot topic. Last year, Chinese researchers set the current record for the number of qubits entangled in a quantum computer, with even higher performance predicted. Chinese researchers are now far ahead of their U.S., Japanese and European counterparts in publishing quantum-related high-impact academic papers. Note: This trend also applies to AI: According to talent tracking firm MacroPolo, one-third (34%) of Chinese students majoring in AI stayed in China in 2019, and by 2022 that number is approaching two-thirds (58%). Ion Q executives meet with former Senator Corker in Chattanooga in May 2024. (Kendra Simmons/Simon West Agency) Where quantum computing is thriving With quantum computing, commercial feasibility has barely been proven, and few standards have yet been set. IonQ operates what are called trapped-ion quantum computers, while Google's AI division focuses on superconducting qubits. These and other differences are being worked out in university research labs and corporate laboratories around the world. To fund their research, many quantum companies are using classical computers to commercialize near-future quantum applications and quantum-inspired tools. Arakawa, the IonQ CMO, said 90% of the value of a new platform will be captured by the first 10% of industry pioneers. After a generation of boom and bust cycles, Arakawa predicts quantum computing will continue to grow uninterrupted. There will be no winter. Another industry advocate told me, "We understand the physics and we're working on the engineering." Some are betting that the time is now: The U.S. Economic Development Administration's recently approved Tech Hub program will pump $41 million into quantum computing-focused clusters in Colorado and New Mexico. It's not the only U.S. region vying for leadership in this field: IonQ is headquartered in College Park, Maryland. Ninety minutes away, in Arlington, Virginia, a hub of satellite technology, it's home to Honeywell-backed Quantinuum's satellite offices and close to DARPA and the Department of Defense. All of this makes a compelling case that the DMV is a quantum leader. Chattanooga's advocates, including former Sen. Corker, want quantum cachet. The city has the nation's fastest internet, active involvement from industry leaders like Volkswagen, affordable energy run by the Tennessee Valley Authority, and a small but powerful quantum higher education hub at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Chattanooga already boasts "the nation's first commercial quantum network," run by the power board and Silicon Valley quantum startup Qubitec. The city is also less than two hours away from health care leader Nashville and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which has a quantum division. How much real change will these speculations bring about in the near future? The problem with advanced technology is that for the same reason we can't imagine all of its applications, we can't imagine all of its impacts and the obstacles that will get us there. It's a race for distributed, networked quantum computers, says IonQ CRO Alameddine. "Most quantum computers are still primarily , but they're becoming more consistent. IonQ executives touted the collaboration between Chattanooga, Oak Ridge and Nashville on stage: 'You have the capabilities to make it happen.'" Given the highly physical nature of quantum, there's a desire to be a leader. To have a global impact, quantum requires getting a tiny part right. "Let's solve local problems first," IonQ CMO Arakawa said. In the early days of the consumer internet, companies identified the easiest process to test online, known as "lift and shift," she said. But quantum is different, Arakawa says: take the hardest problem, find a small use case, and overcome it. The biggest problem for quantum advocates may be raising the funds for wider adoption. Updated at 12:25 p.m. to clarify photo credits from the conference and to note that the EDA Tech Hubs award for quantum computing will go to work in Colorado and New Mexico.

Comprehensive, innovative, scalable: three must-haves for today's clinical trial teams
The dynamic field of clinical research highlights three key priorities: inclusion, innovation, and scalability. As the industry strives to develop safe and effective treatments for diverse patient populations, the need for inclusive, cutting-edge, and globally accessible clinical trials has never been greater. Inclusion is a top priority, with the team striving to design accessible trials that are epidemiologically-based and accurately representative of diverse patient populations. Innovation is also a key focus, with the clinical trial team adopting cutting-edge technologies such as AI and wearable devices to transform every part of the process, from design to recruitment to outcome monitoring. Scalability is paramount, as global clinical trials provide access to a larger and more diverse patient population and generate data that reflects real-world scenarios. The strategic use of data and technology plays a pivotal role in increasing inclusivity, driving innovation, and overcoming scalability challenges. Clinical trial teams are increasingly focusing on these areas to ensure trials are inclusive, efficient, and reflective of the populations in need of treatment. Enhancing comprehensiveness through data-driven study design Clinical trial teams are committed to designing studies with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a top priority: studies need to be marketed to a diverse patient population, study sites need to be accessible, and study findings need to be representative and applicable to the real world. The FDA released long-awaited draft guidance on required diversity action plans for certain clinical trials. This guidance marks a major step forward in transforming drug development by putting in place a structured DEI strategy to ensure safe and effective treatments are available to all patients, potentially reducing the current prohibitive costs and timelines. For example, the team is broadening its understanding beyond demographics and geography to include social determinants of health (SDOH) such as socioeconomic status and access to care, to better reflect diverse populations in study designs and recruitment strategies. Using a community-informed, human-centered approach combined with advanced analytics and digital platforms, teams can better identify underrepresented populations and customize recruitment strategies to close diversity gaps in clinical studies. Decentralizing clinical trials improves inclusivity by making it easier for participants from different geographic and socioeconomic backgrounds to enroll in trials. Remote monitoring, localization of appropriate study components, wearable devices, and mobile apps simplify data collection and communication, further removing barriers for individuals who may have challenges accessing traditional trial environments. Transforming testing through innovation and efficiency Clinical trial teams are tech-savvy, employing an average of five systems across the study lifecycle, from clinical trial management to electronic data capture tools. Under pressure to accelerate drug development and reduce costs, teams are aggressively adopting new technologies to speed decisions, streamline operations, improve communication, and ensure data integrity. Traditionally one of the most time-consuming tasks in clinical trials, patient recruitment is one notable area that has been transformed by technology. Researchers are using AI-based tools to better identify and communicate with potential participants, predict dropout rates, and flag safety concerns earlier in the process. Clinical trial teams are also leveraging social media and online communities to recruit diverse patients and enhance engagement and outcomes through remote monitoring, virtual visits, and wearable devices. A recent survey revealed that social media is the preferred channel for learning about clinical trial opportunities, with older patients preferring Facebook and younger patients preferring TikTok. To effectively communicate these opportunities, pharmaceutical companies can augment their efforts by partnering with trusted influencers to provide patient education and advertise on these platforms. Advances in clinical trials depend on the innovative use of data and technology. AI, in particular, shows promise in eliminating health disparities and promoting health equity. Central to this effort is a focus on inclusive data practices, adhering to ethical guidelines, promoting diverse representation, and embracing a patient-centered approach to healthcare. Training AI with real data from a variety of sources (e.g., electronic health records, wearable devices, patient-reported outcomes) can provide researchers with valuable insights to make informed decisions throughout the trial process. Overcoming scalability challenges through technology integration Scalability is crucial for clinical trial teams. Global trials provide access to a larger and more diverse patient pool and generate data that is more reflective of real-world scenarios. However, scaling a trial comes with challenges: Patient recruitment and retention: Only 5% of the US population participates in clinical trials, and 80% of trials fail to meet recruitment targets, leading to delays and increased costs. Globally, recruitment is even more challenging, especially in countries with limited medical resources. Site selection and monitoring: Identifying appropriate study sites with experienced researchers and access to the required patient demographics is important but challenging. Poor site monitoring can also lead to data quality issues. Regulatory constraints: Dealing with different regulatory requirements and data privacy laws across countries and regions is complex. Logistical complexities: Language and cultural differences impede communication and data sharing between sites. Additionally, some countries face issues with access to certain technologies, as well as logistical challenges due to conflicts and lack of resources. Data quality and sharing: Ensuring consistent data collection standards across different global sites has always been a challenge (as exemplified in this OECD report). Countries often have difficulty collecting and processing information on racial and ethnic backgrounds due to data sensitivity, privacy concerns, and the reluctance of some groups to reveal their identities. Rising Costs: The high costs associated with clinical trials are also a hindrance to scalability efforts. Clinical trials are extremely expensive, costing anywhere from hundreds of millions of dollars to over $1-2 billion per approved drug. Integrating data and modern technologies can address many of these challenges and make clinical trials more scalable. When deploying these solutions, care must be taken to implement best practices that promote equity and mitigate exacerbating inequities. Advanced data analytics can help identify optimal trial locations across different countries and effectively target diverse patient populations. Predictive analytics powered by AI and ML can enhance recruitment strategies by quickly identifying eligible participants, streamlining workflows for study teams, expediting enrollment through collaboration with trusted patient partners, and cultivating a more inclusive participant pool. Additionally, these technologies enable centralized data management, remote monitoring, and real-time issue detection to speed up the trial process while ensuring patient safety. Data and technology driving progress As the clinical trial landscape evolves, prioritizing inclusivity, innovation and scalability is essential to accelerate the development of safe and effective treatments that truly meet the needs of diverse patient populations. At the intersection of these imperatives lies the transformative power of people, data, and technology. By leveraging AI, advanced analytics, digital platforms, and integrated systems, clinical trial teams can optimize processes, accelerate scientific advances, and promote health equity. These advances bring us closer to breakthrough medical discoveries that have the potential to improve health outcomes on a global scale.

The Importance of Global Connections: Visit to Brazil
Sean Mullins shares his experience at the Global Agricultural Technology South America Summit Last month, Shawn Mullins, director of foreign direct investment at the World Trade Center St. Louis, visited Brazil as part of a delegation focused on raising St. Louis' profile in agricultural innovation. At the Global Agricultural Technology South America Summit in São Paulo, the delegation promoted St. Louis as a bridge between Latin America and North America in agri-food innovation and worked to strengthen existing relationships. Below is an interview with Mullins about his visit. What was the purpose of the trip? As called for in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Plan, the World Trade Center St. Louis has been nurturing agricultural and food technology relationships internationally, especially with Latin America, for many years. Last year, through the strong leadership of the Danforth Plant Science Center and other supporting organizations such as WTC, BioSTL, Yield Lab, Greater St. Louis, Inc., and 39 North, we created the Cultivar STL initiative to further strengthen these relationships to foster mutual economic growth and address food security. Cultivar STL strengthens economic ties through trade and investment, with a particular focus on agricultural technology, an area in which St. Louis and the state of Missouri excel. Interest in agricultural technology is increasingly merging with an interest in geospatial, and a visit to Brazil aimed to explore Latin America's agricultural technology and geospatial offerings. Who was on the visit and who did you meet? The St. Louis group consisted of Danforth Plant Science Center, Taylor Geospatial Institute, T-REX, and BioSTL. We were also joined by the CEO of HabiTerre. Our main objective was to participate in the World Agritech South American Summit, which was attended by around 700 people from South America and abroad, where we shared information about ourselves and the trends in the region. We met with startups, SMEs, large corporations, and venture funds. We also visited Cubo Ita, a co-working space for startups and a non-profit with a special agtech initiative called Cubo Agro. The last days of the trip included a visit to São José dos Campos to see the Technological Innovation Park, which covers an area of almost 2 million square feet and serves around 300 companies. During our stay, we also participated in another agtech conference, Agriculture of the Future (O Agro Do Futuro), where we had discussions with experts from key market players in Latin America and North America, as well as our own Cultivar panel discussion. We also toured Visiona, a joint venture between Embraer Defence & Security and Telebras, which focuses on the integration of space systems and satellite-based services. What was your biggest takeaway from the visit? There is considerable agtech development taking place in Latin America. In particular, we learned about the scale of Brazilian soybean production and Brazil's dominance in soybean exports. Brazil has significant economies of scale with large family-owned farms that are generally larger in both acreage and labor than comparable farms in the United States. Because South America is a major producer of crops that feed the world, it is critical for St. Louis to pay attention to the players and companies there. Latin America is where the potential buyers for St. Louis agtech products and services are, and can also benefit from their innovations in agricultural production. How did this visit impact you and STL as a whole? St. Louis and Missouri are global leaders in agtech. Missouri is home to approximately 90,000 farms, and agriculture in Missouri is a $94 billion industry with over 456,000 workers. A 15-mile stretch of the Mississippi River is known as America's Agricultural Coast, as so much agricultural produce is shipped from the St. Louis region on river barges. But to stay competitive and remain globally relevant, we must constantly be mindful of how we can improve our productivity. To reduce inputs and improve yields, going digital is essential for the industry in the future. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, drones, blockchain, and geospatial are driving innovations around the world. Looking at the needs, talent, and technology availability, especially in Latin America, we cannot help but spread the message that international relationships are highly valuable to efficiently improve agricultural production and build the resilience of our respective economies. Why was this visit important to the World Trade Center? WTC, along with regional partners, spent significant time and effort with the Brookings Institution in 2016 to develop the first-ever St. Louis Metropolitan FDI Plan, with a special focus on agtech as an industry sector in St. Louis that is highly attractive to international investment. With strong support from regional partners, WTC helped sustain and drive the recognition that St. Louis and Missouri should be at the top of the list among Latin American agricultural companies considering where in the world they can find strong agtech partners. What are your next steps after this visit? On the final day of the Global Agricultural Technology South America Summit, the Danforth Center, BioSTL and The Yield Lab LATAM signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) as part of Cultivar STL. The MOU defines the main activities as follows: Connect start-ups with corporate partners and build potential business development linkages Facilitate early adopter farmer/producer exchanges and learning opportunities Enhance curated support for start-ups wanting to take their business across regions Facilitate ecosystem learning, sharing and capacity building including cross-regional delegations/visits WTC stands ready to support all these activities, especially by supporting companies looking to do business across regions and by supporting inter-regional delegations and visits.

Nokia CEO: Europe should not be afraid to support innovation leaders
Great ideas know no borders. Nokia employees come from more than 160 nationalities and work in 130 countries. We're an international organisation with a global approach to innovation, but with our Finnish roots and strong presence in Europe, we also have a strong interest in the future of the Old Continent. Historically, Europe has been a powerhouse of innovation, its ideas and inventions driving great scientific, economic and social advances. But in recent years, that powerhouse has been losing momentum. While Europe remains home to the world's leading companies, the European Union is lagging behind the United States and China in key technologies, endangering the EU's climate, digital and defence goals and making it harder to achieve strategic autonomy. Europe needs to master new technologies to regain its economic competitiveness and ensure a prosperous and secure future for its people. Artificial intelligence is already changing the way we work and is poised to transform industries, labor markets, and the global economy. According to McKinsey, generative AI, when combined with other digital technologies, could boost productivity growth by 0.5 to 3.4 percentage points per year, worth $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion. The IMF estimates that AI will impact nearly 40% of global employment and up to 60% of employment in developed countries. While AI is the main technology, the two elements behind it are just as important: Data processing is the fuel that powers the Generative AI engines, and that processing power is currently only provided through cloud computing and networks (5G and fiber broadband networks), with 6G coming around 2030. It is clear that if Europe wants to regain its economic competitiveness, it must become a better hub for innovation more generally by mastering AI, cloud and networks, encouraging investment in research and development, deepening the EU single market and creating a more favourable business environment. Speed up with digital The European Industry Roundtable's latest competitiveness report described its findings as an "ice bath" and said the EU was losing global market share and industrial competitiveness. To accelerate digitalization, Europe needs secure, reliable, and high-performing connectivity. European policymakers should allow carrier consolidation where appropriate, allowing European carriers to gain scale and increase the return on their investments. Poor connectivity will ultimately be borne by consumers. Europe is investing per capita in digital infrastructure less than half that of the United States. The allocation of radio frequencies also needs to be better coordinated among member states and done faster. The rollout of 5G cannot be delayed, so this issue needs to be resolved well before the arrival of 6G. European operators should be supported in their efforts to incorporate AI into their networks, as this will help them meet the increasing performance and energy efficiency demands placed on them and improve their profitability, boosting much-needed investments. Another way to accelerate digitalisation is to make green finance available for connectivity solutions through their inclusion in the EU Taxonomy System. Finally, we need to ensure that only trusted equipment is used in all parts of the network, not just the 5G network. Empowering innovation champions Europe may not have Big Tech, but it does have world-class companies in innovative sectors such as aerospace, pharmaceuticals, information technology, semiconductor machinery and telecommunications. The EU should support drivers of innovation on the global stage by challenging unfair trade practices and, where necessary, using trade tools to ensure a level playing field. Businesses invest more in research and development of new technologies than governments or academic institutions, but they only do so if they are confident that they can profit from commercializing the new innovation and bringing it to market. Nokia spends more than $4 billion on research and development each year and has filed patent applications for more than 2,300 new inventions in 2023 with major technological advancements in optical networks and 6G. Europe can better support technology creators through a more integrated and strategic rule-making approach, including ensuring fair licensing of patents to encourage business investment, strengthening public-private partnerships to focus investment in priority areas, and completing the EU Single Market to expand the commercial potential of new innovations. Viewing economy and security as two sides of the same coin The technologies that underpin strong economic growth are also increasingly permeating the foundations of modern defense and security solutions. For example, Nokia provides 5G private wireless networks to factories, mines, ports and the defense sector. Whatever sector or industry, our customers want secure, reliable and scalable connectivity. In technology, trust is more important than ever before. For leading European companies, building trustworthy technology should always be the starting point when innovating and creating anything.

The designer of Russia's version of Google is back
Arkady Volozh, the billionaire architect of Russia's version of Google, was worth $30 billion at his peak but has long maintained a politically agnostic public persona. "I don't have any friction with the state, just like I don't have any friction with the weather. What happens if it rains? We need to build a service that avoids the rain," he told WIRED in 2017. Still, Volozh couldn't avoid the rain. After Russia's invasion of Ukraine, he was targeted by EU sanctions and forced to step down from Yandex, the internet giant he built with the late Ilya Segalovich. Today, the tech billionaire announced he would return as CEO of a new European AI company: Nevius Group, which is technically a reincarnation of the Russian internet giant Yandex. Volozh and his team have been in complex negotiations with the Kremlin for the past two years to sell off parts of its operations that are still based in Russia, including its search engine. Yandex NV, the Dutch parent of the well-known Russian internet giant, was forced to accept a cut-price price of just $5 billion due to Russian rules against Western companies trying to leave Russia. But the deal allowed Volozh's team to salvage parts of Yandex that were already based abroad, including four AI-focused business units. These are assets that Volozh will turn into what he hopes will become the world's leading AI infrastructure company, which will also be rebranded. "This life is different. It feels great to be free and start something new," Voloj said of his new role as CEO of Nevius. Sitting in his Amsterdam office on Monday, Voloj doesn't want to talk politics; he wants to focus on his new project. Nevius' main business is the cloud division, and Voloj wants to give AI developers access to Big Tech-style infrastructure without the conflicts of interest with the U.S. giants that build their own models on the side. "We're building infrastructure for people who build models to build AI," Voloj explains the plan behind Nevius.

Volozh said that of the 1,300 people currently working at the new company in Europe, many of whom previously worked at Yandex in Russia.

Humanoid robots are the center of attention at Beijing Hi-Tech Expo as Chinese companies push for new tech innovations
A Chinese robot maker unveiled the Huitong 7 at the 2024 Beijing International Hi-Tech Expo. The 1.7-metre long, 55-kilogram humanoid robot can walk, run, jump, tumble, roll and crawl across a variety of complex terrains. It has the world's highest and longest jump of any motor-driven humanoid robot, reaching a height of 0.5 metres and a distance of 1 metre. Photo: Zhang Yiyi/GT At the 2024 Beijing International Hi-Tech Expo, held in Beijing from July 13 to 16, many humanoid robots that can jump and run like humans, deliver coffee nimbly and converse with people showed off their skills and interacted with visitors. Standing 1.7 metres tall and weighing 55 kilograms, the human-like Huitong 7 can perform a variety of multi-modal movements, including walking, running, jumping, falling, rolling and crawling. It can jump up to half a metre high and one metre distance, making it the tallest and farthest-jumping motorised humanoid robot in the world. "90 percent of the robot's hardware is domestically produced. We mainly aim for applications in specialized fields such as emergency rescue, firefighting and other dangerous situations," a Haribit representative told the Global Times on Tuesday. The employee said the robot is not commercially available on a large scale and is mainly suitable for specific applications due to its high price tag of 3 million yuan (about $428,571). "We are currently discussing possible cooperation with various manufacturers and institutions," he said. Another doll-like robot also attracted a lot of attention. Named the Intelligent Companion Robot, it was developed by a team of Chinese university students with a 95 percent domestic production rate. The device is about the size of a lamp and is perfect for placing on a desk. "This type of communication robot has been sold overseas, including in the United States. But our model stands out with its human-like facial expressions, movements and tone of voice, allowing for more natural interactions. It is the world's first robot with a family-friendly long-term memory function that can record human conversations and facial expressions and allows users to choose what to remember," Wang Chenghao, product director at Tech Voyage, told the Global Times on Tuesday. "We plan to launch the product on Chinese e-commerce platforms in 2025 at a competitive price of around 5,000 yuan," Wang said. In recent years, many Chinese companies, both large and small, have embarked on the development of humanoid robots, and the models of robots tailored to specific scenarios are becoming increasingly diverse. This diversification is largely due to the advancement of Chinese companies' own technologies, covering both software and hardware. But the transition from developing humanoid robots to mass commercialization in China is expected to take five to six years, and experts say there are many hurdles to overcome. Currently, commercial humanoid robots are mainly employed in industrial sectors such as metallurgy (e.g., steel manufacturing), where larger models are often used to create specialized robots for high-risk tasks.What's more, communicative humanoid robots are easy to manufacture and affordable, making them easier to bring to market, Liu Gang, chief economist at the China New Generation AI Development Strategy Institute, told the Global Times on Friday. "In contrast, commercializing service humanoid robots remains a difficult task. The intelligence level of robots is significantly lower than that of the human brain, with even top models achieving only 0.2 percent of human capability, making it difficult for them to interact naturally with humans. And the high cost of robots makes them out of reach of most consumers," Liu said. "We rely on imports for some components, such as joints and software. We are slightly behind developed countries in the area of embodied intelligence. But China is promoting the development of humanoid robots with heavy investment. Once domestic production of parts accelerates, more Chinese companies will engage in research and development," Liu said. According to a recent report by state-run CCTV, China's humanoid robot industry is expected to reach 20 billion yuan by 2026. Industry observers say humanoid robots are a future industry that requires cross-industry integration, and Chinese companies are keen to step up research and development.

"The nurturing of Israeli technology in space marks a major milestone for our nation's high-tech sector, a great Zionist achievement, and further boosts our brand as the 'Start-Up Nation.'" "The launch of the EXPAND accelerator, which the Israel Space Agency is proud to support, is a testament to the thriving Israeli space sector," added Israel Space Agency Director General Uri Oron. "Mitzpe Ramon's unique environment sparks the imagination needed to nurture the next generation of space entrepreneurs, and we look forward to continuing our partnership and supporting the program's success in the future." Creation-Space was founded in 2023 by Naor, Gal Yoffe and Alon Shikar.

How to use Google's Dark Web Report for free
Good news for those with a Google account: Starting at the end of July 2024, the handy security features that previously required a Google One subscription will be available for free to everyone. That feature is the Dark Web Report, and it's bundled with another related feature called "Results About You." These two features are intended to give you more control over your personal information on the web. Dark Web reports (from hidden parts of the web) will now be displayed alongside your findings (from standard parts of the web) in a new-look interface. We'll focus on the Dark Web reports here. Currently, this feature is only available to US English accounts, but we expect to make it more widely available soon. What is a dark web leak? The Tor Browser is one way to access the dark web. Screenshot: Tor For those of you who aren't familiar with the dark web, it's a small subset of the deep web, which is essentially everything that doesn't show up in a Google search or load in your web browser, including everything from your company's internal network to your Gmail archive (which you definitely don't want showing up in a Google search). The Dark Web has websites like the regular web, but they are often hidden and difficult to access. You need special software to access them and special search engines to explore them. The Tor Browser is one tool you can install to peek into the Dark Web and find out what's out there. However, be careful: the dark web is not user-friendly by design. It is designed to be difficult to access and is riddled with unwholesome content. While the dark web has its good uses, for example in countries where internet activity is censored and monitored, its anonymity and secrecy tends to attract various forms of illegal activity. For example, when hackers sell large amounts of leaked data, they often do so on the dark web, rather than on places like eBay or Etsy (where there is too much scrutiny). This is where the Dark Reports that Google creates come in handy, alerting you whenever your data, such as names, email addresses, or addresses, appears. Google hasn't revealed specific details about how it searches the dark web -- presumably to ensure that those posting information don't evade Google's scrutiny -- but it's clear that the company is using some of its search know-how to shed light on darker, less visible corners of the internet. How does the Dark Web Report work? Google will show you your leaked data and give you advice on what to do about it. Screenshot: Google Dark Web Report is currently available to all users with a Google One plan, which starts at $2 per month and includes features like extra storage for services like Gmail and Google Photos, as well as other perks, like priority support and access to more advanced AI features. Currently, Dark Web Reports can be configured through your Google One dashboard on the web, and once the feature is rolled out to free accounts, it will become part of the "Results For You" interface and will function in the same way. If you haven't already set up your Dark Web Report,[設定]Click[ダーク ウェブ レポート]Under the heading[監視を開始]On the next screen, you can specify what personal data you want Google to monitor. Some information is already included as part of your profile, but you can add new details if you want. Once the service is set up, you can find it under Dark Web Reports[表示]You can click to see what results Google found (you can also receive email alerts about breaches). You can click on a result to see what type of information was leaked and the type of breach. A breach could be a data leak of a specific site or service, or it could be a large package of data that hackers are trying to sell. Unfortunately, you can't "unleash" your data once it's been exposed, but Google will provide advice on how to deal with the leak, such as strengthening the security of your account (such as two-factor authentication) or strengthening spam protection on your phone and various apps.

Silicon Valley tech giants line up to donate to Donald Trump
US technology and business leaders including Palantir Technologies co-founder Joe Lonsdale, venture capitalist pioneer Doug Leone and the Winklevoss twins have donated to a new super-political action committee supporting Donald Trump's presidential bid. America Pac has raised more than $8.7 million since its launch in June, according to a public filing, including several million-dollar donations from Silicon Valley investors who have publicly supported Trump in recent weeks. Backers include Sequoia partner Shaun Maguire and Valor Equity Partners founder Antonio Gracias, as well as Sequoia Capital co-founder Leone and Lonsdale of 8VC and Palantir. A person with direct knowledge of the super pac said Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk plan to donate. Musk is a close associate of many donors, including Lonsdale. Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Coal titan Joe Craft, managing director of Alliance Resource Partners, and Jimmy John Liautaud, founder of the Jimmy Johns sandwich chain, also each donated $1 million, while Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss each donated $250,000, according to the filings. Silicon Valley has long been considered one of the most liberal regions in the United States, but some tech executives, disappointed by President Joe Biden's stances on regulation and taxation, have shifted politically to the right. Trump, in turn, has played into the hands of libertarian-leaning entrepreneurs and venture capitalists by pledging to protect free speech and support the cryptocurrency industry. Elon Musk endorsed Trump on Saturday, shortly after an assassination attempt on the Republican candidate at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The last time America had a candidate this tough was Theodore Roosevelt, Musk wrote on X. Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman also said Saturday that he is officially endorsing Trump. Musk also praised Trump's excellent choice of Sen. J.D. Vance, a former venture capitalist, as his running mate on Monday. "Trump-Vance," Musk wrote on X. That resonates with the victory. Musk has previously endorsed Democrats including Biden, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Vance has long-standing ties to elite tech circles, having worked at Peter Thiels's San Francisco venture capital fund Mithril Capital between 2015 and 2017, and then at Washington-based venture capital fund Revolution, launched by AOL CEO Steve Case. According to federal election records, Thiel gave $15 million to support Vances' 2022 Senate bid through a donation to the Protect Ohio Values Pac. Jacob Helberg, a Palantir executive and major Trump donor, said Vance is a pro-tech, pro-America First choice who will be an extraordinary advocate for President Trump's agenda and the American people. Vance also launched his own venture capital firm Narya Capital in 2020 with backing from Thiel, Andreessen Horowitz co-founder Marc Andreessen, startup investor Scott Dorsey and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. The Cincinnati, Ohio-based company, which had about $200 million in assets under management last year, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, aimed to channel more Silicon Valley funding to U.S. cities underserved by tech investment. Some of Silicon Valley's most prominent figures have become increasingly vocal in their support for Trump's campaign. Venture capitalist David Sacks, who held a fundraiser last month at his San Francisco home where Vance introduced Trump, spoke Monday at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Keith Rabois, managing director of Khosla Ventures, told the Financial Times he would also donate $1 million to support Trump. Recommended According to the 2022 disclosures, the most recent data available, Vance held personal investments in more than 100 public and private companies, including Anduril Industries, a Thiel-backed artificial intelligence defense group, and space simulation company Slingshot Aerospace, as well as up to $100,000 worth of Walmart stock. Vance has also personally invested in controversial video platform Rumble, holding a stake worth up to $300,000 in 2022, and Christian prayer app Hallow, in which his stake was worth up to $100,000 that year. Vance also revealed that he holds between $100,001 and $250,000 in bitcoin on cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase in 2022.

The National Network for Innovation in Sport and Health aims to accelerate the growth of medical technology across Swansea.
Swansea University, with support from the local health board and the Swansea Bay City Deal, has launched the National Network for Innovation in Sport and Health (NNIISH) as part of efforts to accelerate the growth of medical technology, healthcare innovation and sports technology in the region. A key focus of the new initiative is to support collaboration between the NHS, industry and academia, and the universities hope that the presence of NNIISH will strengthen existing collaborations, generate new partnerships and drive investment in the sector. NNIISH describes itself as "fostering an ideal environment for innovation and growth," adding that its overarching goal is to establish a diverse community of stakeholders, including local SMEs, startups and multinational corporations, "to build a vibrant ecosystem where entrepreneurs and industry leaders can collaborate, share insights and drive change." To date, projects undertaken by the network have investigated topics such as technology to assist lung transplants by delivering oxygen directly to the blood to increase remaining lung capacity, ways to support healthcare teams to efficiently collect and use patient data, and how AI analytics can be deployed to aid early cancer detection. NNIISH has also highlighted opportunities such as a fully-funded PhD scholarship at Swansea University that aims to investigate how 5G technology and wearables can improve the health and wellbeing of older people, and a scholarship to research the effectiveness of virtual reality exposure therapy in treating gambling disorder. Any local professionals working in healthcare, medical technology or sports technology who are interested in getting involved are welcome to get in touch. More information about the hub can be found here. Wales: broader trends In early July we looked at Digital Health and Care Wales' organisational strategy for 2024-2030, which includes planned actions such as migrating all data stores and services onto the National Data Resource Platform to create a single national clinical data repository. Click here for more information. In the spring we brought you the news that Digital Health and Care in Wales would roll out health information systems and electronic medical records as a fully hosted and managed platform across nine health boards, 13 hospitals and 23 laboratories in Wales. Earlier this year we broke the news that Promptly Health had been awarded an 11 million three-year contract to manage national patient-centred outcomes data for NHS Wales, and covered the first annual review of the Digital Medicines Transformation Portfolio, marking progress in one of the biggest changes to medicines prescribing, dispensing and administration in Wales for decades.

Google has largely stopped showing AI summaries in searches
AI summaries are appearing less and less frequently in Google searches, with a new report finding that they appear in fewer than 10% of search queries. It's been just over two months since Google launched AI Overviews to all search users in the U.S., and the impact has been tough for the company. While many feared that AI Overviews would pull large swaths of the internet away from individual websites, it appears that the massive, viral errors caused by AI Overviews have led Google to decide to significantly scale back the project. According to data released in early June, Google showed AI summaries in more than 80% of preview testers' searches, but that dropped to about 40-50% when the feature was first widely rolled out in May, and then to just 15% a few weeks after the glue-on-pizza blunders went viral. Now, the latest figures reveal that Google may be throttling even further. SearchEngineLand, citing data from BrightEdge, reports that as of late June, Google was showing AI summaries in only about 7% of searches, down from 11% earlier this month. Breaking it down further, the report finds that AI Overview has fallen by half in searches for education-related questions (down from 26% to 13%), appears in just 9% of e-commerce queries (down from 26%), and "almost 0%" of entertainment-related questions (down from 14%).Following a viral mistake that largely originated from Reddit, AI Overview also appears to be referencing Reddit much less frequently in its answers. Anecdotally, we've also noticed that AI summaries are now rarely showing up. They only pop up occasionally, and in places where they used to show up. Previously, we've noticed that AI summaries most often show up in queries that are phrased as direct questions. But now, even for simple questions like "Is the Pixel Watch waterproof?", Google is showing featured snippets and links instead of AI-generated answers. What about you? Have you looked at AI Overview lately? Vote in the poll below and let us know in the comments whether you prefer search with AI Overview or without it.

X violates EU Digital Services Act, Google in biggest acquisition talks ever, Amazon's AI shopping assistant launches for US customers
Today's news digest: X violates EU Digital Services Act, Google in talks for biggest acquisition yet, Amazon's AI shopping assistant now available to all US customers X is the latest company to be accused of allegedly violating EU law, with the European Commission (EC) informing it that several features of the platform violate the Digital Services Act. Topping the list is the feature that allows individuals to buy checkmarks for verified accounts, which is not in line with industry practice and misleading to users. The EC has determined that this negatively impacts users' ability to make informed decisions about the trustworthiness of the accounts/content they interact with on the platform. X's advertising transparency also fails to meet EU requirements, failing to provide a searchable and reliable advertising repository. Finally, the EC also says that X does not provide researchers with access to public data, a requirement detailed in the Digital Services Act. While Google faces increased scrutiny from the EU, the tech giant is preparing its biggest acquisition to date. Google is in talks to acquire cybersecurity startup Wiz, which is valued at $US12 billion ($9.25 billion). The potential value of the deal is reported to be around $US23 billion ($17.72 billion), making it Google's largest acquisition to date. The deal will help Google better serve its enterprise customers. Neither party has responded to requests for comment on the deal at this time. Turning to the world of AI, Amazon's Rufus AI shopping assistant is now available to all customers in the U.S., having launched for select customers in February. The text-based chatbot can assist users in the Amazon Shopping app with a variety of questions, including tracking orders, recommending products, and comparing item models. The chatbot can also answer questions that aren't directly related to shopping, such as what is needed to make a particular dish.

Google plans to acquire startup Wiz Security for $23 billion
Google is reportedly planning what could be the largest acquisition in the company's history. The tech giant is in advanced talks to acquire Wizz Security for an estimated $23 billion, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal over the weekend. Wiz Security describes itself as a cloud security company that offers container and Kubernetes protection, cloud security posture management, vulnerability management, cloud app protection, IAC scanning, and more. Founded in 2020, the fast-growing company was recently valued at $12 billion. Google has made some big acquisitions in the cybersecurity space before, investing $5.4 billion in incident response specialist Mandiant in 2022 and $500 million in Israeli security startup Siemplify earlier that year. Read more about Google's acquisition here: Google Acquires First Non-US Cybersecurity Company Later that year, Google launched Chronicle Security Operations to bring all its cloud capabilities together in one place, integrating Chronicle's security information and event management (SIEM) capabilities with Siemplify's security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) solution, as well as threat intelligence from Google Cloud and Mandiant. The move comes at a time when cloud investments and cyber threat volumes are exploding: By one estimate, 89% of organizations worldwide now have adopted a multi-cloud strategy, with 73% adopting a hybrid cloud. However, there were more than 3,200 data breaches in the U.S. last year, up 72% from the previous record for 2021, affecting an estimated 363 million people. Google's cloud business saw revenue grow 28% to $9.57 billion in the first quarter of 2024, driven by increased demand for its generative AI services. Image credit: T.

Google Gemini now lets users review AI-generated information using Google Search | Technology News
Google's Gemini AI users can now verify the authenticity of chatbot-generated content using Google. Once Gemini AI provides a response to a query, users can cross-check the information provided in the AI-generated content using the Google search engine. Gemini has added a Google toggle labeled "Recheck Response" just below the AI-generated content, allowing you to quickly cross-verify the authenticity of content generated by Gemini AI. This feature is accessible on both the mobile app and the web version of Gemini AI. This new feature is available in both the app and web versions of Gemini. (Express Photo) "The Double-Check Answer feature helps you assess the reliability of Gemini's statements by using Google Search to find potentially similar or different content," Google said. Cross-validation categorizes statements into three different colors for easy understanding: Green highlighted text indicates that Google Search has found similar content in the AI-generated information and has included a link to it. Similarly, if the text is highlighted in orange, it means that Google didn't find any relevant content. Finally, if a piece of text isn't highlighted, it indicates that there isn't much similar information on the web to help evaluate your AI-generated content. Depending on the response generated by Gemini AI, the generated response may contain similar information, and some of the responses may not be relevant or may be information that Google does not have access to on the web. Large-scale language models like Gemini AI are known to have issues such as generating inaccurate information, which can affect the reliability of the output. Google has integrated a double-check feature with its search engine into the Gemini chatbot, making it easier for users to verify the accuracy of AI-generated content.
