Researchers say some popular low-cost Android TV boxes and dongles come with pre-installed malware. Here's how to quickly check if your Android TV OS device is licensed and protected by Google Play Protect.
Android TV boxes have become immensely popular in the last couple of years. However, security researchers recently discovered numerous top-rated Android TV set-top boxes and dongles sold on e-commerce platforms like Amazon are preloaded with malware.

Google says most of these devices are marketed as Android TV OS-powered boxes but are built using Android Open Source Project and some even come with Google apps and Play Store not licensed by Google. But just because a set-top box or a dongle comes with Android TV doesn’t mean it’s certified by Google. The tech giant has acknowledged the issue and shared guidelines on how to check if your device is built with Android TV OS and is Play Protect certified.

If you are thinking of purchasing an Android TV, make sure to check if the manufacturer is listed on the Android TV website under the ‘Global Partners’ section. In case the device isn’t listed for some reason, try checking the Google Play Protect status.

May 1 (Reuters) - International Business Machines Corp (IBM.N) expects to pause hiring for roles as roughly 7,800 jobs could be replaced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the coming years, CEO Arvind Krishna told Bloomberg News on Monday.

Hiring specifically in back-office functions such as human resources will be suspended or slowed, Krishna said, adding that 30% of non-customer-facing roles could be replaced by AI and automations in five years.

His comment comes at a time when AI has caught the imagination of people around the world after the launch of Microsoft Corp-backed (MSFT.O) OpenAI's viral chatbot, ChatGPT, in November last year.

The reduction could include not replacing roles vacated by attrition, the PC-maker told the publication.

IBM did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

According to Coc Coc, the biggest difference of Coc Coc AI Chat lies in its ability to understand Vietnamese and flexibly and accurately handle query content with Vietnamese cultural characteristics, a limitation of most products. similar in the market. By giving natural and close feedback, Coc Coc AI Chat can support users like a Vietnamese AI assistant.

AI robots are considered to appear more in modern society, but the application has not been as expected.

Ingrid, a maid in England, is taking care of a boy with Down syndrome named Tom on weekends, including at night. Having to stay up all night to look after her tired Ingrid. She began to rely on technology, for example installing an alarm in front of her bedroom door to know when Tom was out, having him wear a "talk board", on which there are a number of buttons, such as getting orange juice or telling me when I'm out. hungry. Thanks to this, Ingrid has more time to rest at night.

Tools like alarms and talking boards are rudimentary, but the advancement of care technology is expected to dramatically change the lives of people like Tom and Ingrid in the coming years.

Many companies started developing products to serve users. ElliQ is a bot that helps integrate AI with a design like a night light. Unlike virtual assistants like Alexa or Siri that wait for voice commands, ElliQ actively communicates with users. It can learn the owner's daily needs, provide timely reminders or encouragement.

The AI ​​race helped Nvidia reach a market capitalization of nearly a trillion dollars by selling expensive chips for artificial intelligence training systems.

Nvidia last week reported its financials for the first quarter of 2023, mentioning an "incredible increase" in chip demand for next-generation AI systems, and forecast strong growth in the next quarter. according to. Following the announcement, Nvidia's market capitalization increased 24% from $750 billion to $935 billion.

As of the end of May 27, the company's share price reached $ 390, bringing the market capitalization to nearly $ 970 billion, much higher than the figure of $ 400 billion in January.

In just 5 months, the US chip company has surpassed Tesla and Facebook ($584.7 billion and $647.6 billion respectively), and is expected to soon join the trillion-dollar club with the "big" companies. technology Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazon, and the oil company Saudi Aramco.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has permeated various industries, showing its transformative potential to solve complex problems and streamline processes. Healthcare is no exception to this trend. With the integration of AI, healthcare practices are experiencing unprecedented advances, ultimately leading to better care and outcomes for patients. The development of chatbots in the healthcare industry is one such AI-driven breakthrough. These digital assistants aid healthcare workers in workload management and enhance patient care.
What is ChatGPT and how has it evolved? To fully appreciate the potential of ChatGPT in healthcare, it is essential to understand its origins and the technology behind it. Its predecessor, GPT-3, laid the foundation for ChatGPT. GPT-3, or the third iteration of this pre-training generative transformer, has garnered attention thanks to its ability to produce coherent and contextually relevant text. Building on the success of GPT-3 and using what Open AI called "GPT 3.5", ChatGPT further enhances these capabilities, providing more accurate and conversational responses. The mix of transformer algorithms and machine learning strategies is the key to ChatGPT's success. Transformer algorithms allow AI to process and understand the context within a given text. At the same time, machine learning allows you to learn from vast amounts of data and improve over time. This powerful combination makes ChatGPT an increasingly powerful and adaptable AI tool.

Generative AI is evolving at record speed while CEOs are still learning the technology’s business value and risks. Here, we offer some of the generative AI essentials.

Amid the excitement surrounding generative AI since the release of ChatGPT, Bard, Claude, Midjourney, and other content-creating tools, CEOs are understandably wondering: Is this tech hype, or a game-changing opportunity? And if it is the latter, what is the value to my business?

The public-facing version of ChatGPT reached 100 million users in just two months. It democratized AI in a manner not previously seen while becoming by far the fastest-growing app ever. Its out-of-the-box accessibility makes generative AI different from all AI that came before it. Users don’t need a degree in machine learning to interact with or derive value from it; nearly anyone who can ask questions can use it. And, as with other breakthrough technologies such as the personal computer or iPhone, one generative AI platform can give rise to many applications for audiences of any age or education level and in any location with internet access.
