Artificial intelligence doesn’t create in a vacuum. Rather, it depends on human work to analyze data, discovering patterns and finding anomalies. That work is essential for AI’s machine learning. Therefore, categorizing such work as “fair use” misses the point. As artificial intelligence rapidly advances, a fundamental question is emerging: What happens to creators’ rights — […]
인공지능(AI) 챗봇이 일상 깊숙이 파고들면서 일부 청소년들이 현실 연애보다 AI와의 관계를 선호하는 현상이 확산하고 있다는 연구 결과가 나왔다. 3일(현지 시간) 뉴욕포스트에 따르면 영국 남성 교육 단체 '메일 얼라이즈 UK(Male Allies UK)'가 12~16세 남학생 1000명을 대상으로 조사한 결과 응답자의 85%가 챗봇과 대화를 나눈 경험
인공지능(AI) 챗봇이 일상 깊숙이 파고들면서 일부 청소년들이 현실 연애보다 AI와의 관계를 선호하는 현상이 확산하고 있다는 연구 결과가 나왔다.3일(현지 시간) 뉴욕포스트에 따르면 영국 남성 교육 단체 ‘메일 얼라이즈 UK(Male Allies UK)’가 12~16세 남학생 1000명을 대상으로 조사한 결과 응답자의 85%가 챗봇과 대화를 나눈 경험이 있다고 답했다.또 응답자의 20%는 AI 챗봇과 연애 관계를 맺고 있는 또래를 알고 있다고 답했으며, 4명 중 1명 이상은 실제 사람과의 관계보다 AI 파트너가 제공하는 관심과 교감을 더 선호한다고 밝혔다.특히 응답자의 58%는 AI와의 관계가 더 쉽다고 느끼는 이유로 “대화를 통제할 수 있기 때문”이라고 답했다.전문가들은 AI가 사용자에게 지속적으로 관심을 보이고 거절이나 갈등을 유발하지 않는다는 점이 청소년들에게 강한 매력으로 작용한다고 분석했다.AI 컨설팅 기업 아리아의 연구 책임자 니컬러스 벨로타는 “AI는 사용자를

Nine major industry trade groups have warned the Trump administration that the rapid expansion of AI data centers is severely straining global memory chip supplies. This surge in demand is driving up prices and reducing availability for critical sectors like automotive, healthcare, and consumer electronics, posing risks to US supply chains and the broader economy.
The demand poses a risk to key manufacturing sectors, prompting calls for the Trump administration to boost supplies.

People-to-people exchanges are already laying the groundwork for a different kind of Belt and Road collaboration. That's on full display in Astana as Chief Executive John Lee’s delegation wrapped up the Kazakhstan leg of his Central Asian tour with a visit to Nazarbayev University (NU) on Wednesday. Two individuals on the NU campus – a Hong Kong-born engineering professor and a local Kazakh startup founder – believe the story lies not just on a government level, but also in student exchanges, educational technology innovation and a new business corridor between Astana and Hong Kong. For the past eight years, Annie Ng, an associate professor at NU’s School of Engineering and Digital Sciences, is one of the few Hongkongers working in Kazakh academia. Ng said the chief executive’s visit is a long-overdue catalyst. “I think this is a very good start. I believe there will be more MoUs and more collaborations with different university institutes in Hong Kong with NU and Kazakhstan – not just for research, but also other education programmes or short courses,” she said. Ng sees Kazakhstan as a pivotal player under the Belt and Road framework, but notes a gap in Hong Kong’s engagement compared with the mainland. While there has been a growing number of mainland tourists and entrepreneurs in Almaty and Astana, she said Hongkongers remain conspicuously absent and should explore opportunities in Kazakhstan. “Young people will be more interested here and explore something new – not a typical country to visit. Kazakhstan, Central Asia, we are also close to other Central Asian countries,” she said. For Hong Kong businesses, she said, the potential is tangible. “A lot of things are developed in Hong Kong but not here. They can find a lot of room to expand their business.” Nurken Bolatov is chief operational officer of Artisan Education, a startup based on the NU campus that produces engineering kits and a web-platform for learning robotics, programming and STEM. Bolatov’s company has already been accepted into the ideation programme at the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks (HKSTP). “For us, I hope it’s a great opportunity and experience to try our products in another region, with other students, and get some more feedback,” he said. But his ambitions for Hong Kong go beyond market testing. He sees the city as a manufacturing gateway. “There are a lot of manufacturers in Hong Kong and in China, so probably it would be great for us to cooperate with them so we can produce a lot more of our products.” He also hopes to tap into Hong Kong’s talent pool. “As I know, there are a lot of strong universities in China and in Hong Kong. Probably it would be helpful to find some potential team members to get into our project.” His startup is already piloting its products in several countries, including South Korea, Türkiye and the UK.

Simultaneously, Israel is continuing its strikes on Lebanon, despite Tehran's warnings that the attacks are threatening to derail the fragile truce.The war has sent crude prices soaring, reviving worries over inflation and giving rise to an increasing likelihood that the U.S. Federal Reserve could hike interest rates by year-end. Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack said on Tuesday that such a hike could become necessary if already-elevated inflation pressures continue to mount. On the economic front, a report from the Labor Department showed an unexpected spike in job openings, driven by the volatile professional and business services sector. Otherwise, hiring, firing and quits all decreased, suggesting a slowdown in labor market churn in the face of uncertainties related to strife in the Middle East and inflationary effects.Analysts look to the May employment report due on Friday, which is expected to show the U.S. economy added 85,000 jobs last month, a monthly deceleration of 26.1%.

Direct-to-cell technology uses LEO satellites as spaceborne cell towers. It delivers LTE services to existing smartphones without hardware changes, bridging global coverage gaps. What Attendees will Learn How DTC works as a spaceborne cell tower — LEO satellites carry LTE eNodeB payloads in regenerative mode. How they serve unmodified phones using quasi-earth-fixed multi-beam antennas. How the satellite compensates for Doppler shift and time delay on thenetwork side. Why Doppler shift and round-trip time are critical challenges — A LEO satellite’s high velocity causes carrier frequency offsets in OFDMA systems. Pre-compensation at a reference point helps, but cell-edge users still face residual Doppler. How spectrum sharing and regulation shape DTC deployment — DTC has no dedicated spectrum allocation. It relies on spectrum sharing between terrestrial and satellite operators or re-farmed MSS bands. How national regulations like the FCC SCS framework govern access. Where DTC fits in the evolution toward 5G NTN and 6G — DTC is an interim technology offering fast time-to-market satellite services. It bridges the gap until 3GPP NR-NTN matures. How NR-NTN will bring purpose-built NTN features and international spectrum frameworks. Download this free whitepaper now!

Almost 50 per cent of young adults in six major economies think AI romantic companionship will improve human happiness through emotional support in the next decade, the results of a large survey suggested on Monday. The percentage dropped progressively across older age categories to just a quarter of people aged 55 and over, according to the research shared exclusively with AFP. Leaps in AI development have seen people turn to chatbots as confidants and lovers, while advancements in robotics are helping produce more sophisticated sex dolls — raising questions over the impact on human relationships. The survey of nearly 10,000 people across the United States, Japan, Germany, Britain, Indonesia and Hong Kong provides a snapshot of this “rapidly changing moral landscape”, pollsters YouGov said. It also shows “a profound ideological split between Western and Asian markets”, with the latter seemingly more accepting of technologically enabled sex and romance. In terms of emotional support, 48pc of all respondents aged 18-24 and 47pc of 25 to 34-year-olds said they thought “AI intimacy companions” — a category ranging from chatbots to sex dolls — would improve human happiness in the next decade. When the same question was asked focusing on deeper connection and sexual wellbeing, the figures came in at 32pc and 38pc respectively. On both counts, older people were less optimistic. The psychological impact of chatbots on vulnerable people has been under scrutiny, with the deaths of several teenagers linked to AI use by their families. Geographic split YouGov and the media company that commissioned the research, Tokyo-based Star X Gen, told AFP they were surprised by the regional disparity. In Indonesia, 50pc of people — of all ages — said they thought AI companions would improve connection and sexual wellness. It was 34pc in Hong Kong and 24pc in Japan, declining to 20pc in the United States, 15pc in Germany and just 9pc in Britain. “While Western audiences largely view synthetic intimacy as a threat to authentic human closeness, Asian audiences appear increasingly ready to integrate AI into their personal and physical lives,” said YouGov’s Philippe Chan. While the use of AI chatbots for romance and sex is becoming more commonplace, their embodiment in robots or dolls is at a more nascent stage. Across all 9,912 respondents, only 17pc said they would consider using an “AI intimacy doll”, compared to 59pc who said they would not. Across the board, younger adults were more likely than older ones to consider using a doll — and in Japan and Germany, the number of younger people who would think about trying a doll was nearly double the national average. “While the global (general population) remains wary, the next generation is actively redefining the boundaries of companionship,” the report said. In Japan, over a third of younger adults said they believed AI dolls could provide a sense of love, outnumbering those who disagreed.
