00:00Thanks for joining Daily World Podcast's technology report on April 25th, 2025.
00:16I'm Angela, here to decode the newest tech trends and innovations.
00:21Pete Hegseth reportedly established an unsecured internet connection in his office to use the
00:27messaging app signal, according to sources from the Associated Press. This raises concerns about
00:33potential security vulnerabilities associated with such a setup. Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged
00:40during the Federal Trade Commission's antithrust trial that social media has shifted from interpersonal
00:45communication to a more media-like consumption of content. He highlighted a decline in user
00:50engagement with friends' posts on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, arguing that the definition
00:55of social media has evolved, complicating the FTC's case against Meta's alleged monopoly.
01:02Perplexity's CEO Aravind Srinivas announced plans for a new browser, Comet, which will track user
01:09activity outside its app to create detailed user profiles for targeted advertising. He believes
01:15that users will accept this tracking if it leads to more relevant ads, drawing parallels to Google's
01:20success with similar strategies. The browser is set to launch in May, and Perplexity is also
01:26expanding its presence in the mobile market through partnerships with Motorola and potential talks
01:31with Samsung. A Sydney radio station, CIDA, has been using an AI-generated host named Vi for six months
01:40without disclosing this to listeners. The Australian Communications and Media Authority stated there
01:46are currently no specific regulations requiring disclosure of AI use in broadcasting, raising
01:51concerns about transparency and the authenticity of media content.
01:56President Trump's Transportation Department has revised the Biden-era crash reporting rule for
02:01autonomous vehicles, easing requirements that primarily benefit Tesla. The changes exempt Level 2
02:07driver-assist system crashes from reporting unless they involve fatalities or vulnerable road users,
02:12which is expected to reduce negative press for Tesla, and enhance its operational flexibility.
02:19Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 have begun, revealing that physical game releases will not
02:24exceed 80 euros, contrary to rumors of 90 euros prices. Many third-party games will utilize Nintendo's
02:31game key cards, which allow downloads from the online store, but do not contain actual game data,
02:37raising concerns among traditional physical media fans. Slate Auto has launched the Slate Truck,
02:44an affordable electric vehicle priced under $20,000, designed for customization and repairability.
02:50It offers a range of 150 miles with a basic setup and features like a flat-pack accessory kit for
02:56personalization, while emphasizing safety with advanced features like emergency braking and multiple airbags.
03:02Amid ongoing trade tensions and unpredictable tariffs, several tech manufacturers, including
03:09KeyBordio and InBurnic, are suspending shipments to the US due to unsustainable costs. The situation
03:15has forced smaller companies to halt sales, while larger firms are also feeling the impact, leading to
03:21increased prices and potential layoffs. The fluctuating tariff rates, particularly on Chinese imports, create
03:28significant challenges for businesses trying to navigate the chaotic economic landscape.
03:34Waymo, Alphabet's autonomous vehicle unit, is now providing over 250,000 paid robotaxi rides weekly in
03:40the US, a significant increase from 200,000 in February. CEO Sundar Pichai highlighted the company's
03:48partnerships with Uber and other businesses, as it explores various business models and scaling operations
03:54in regions like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Austin. The infamous anti-piracy campaign,
04:02You Wouldn't Steal a Car, may have ironically used a stolen font, XB and RAF, which is an illegal clone
04:08of the original FF Confidential font. The campaign launched in 2004, aimed to deter piracy, but now faces
04:15scrutiny for its own copyright infringement, as confirmed by font creator Just Van Rossum.
04:20The US government plans to relax regulations on self-driving vehicles, a move that has drawn
04:27criticism from Elon Musk. The changes aim to accelerate the deployment of autonomous technology,
04:33but concerns about safety and oversight remain. Yahoo has expressed interest in acquiring Google's
04:40Chrome browser if a court mandates its sale as part of antitrust remedies against Google. The company is
04:46also developing its own web browser prototype, believing that owning a browser is crucial for
04:51enhancing its search market share, which currently stands at 3%. Yahoo's search GM indicated that acquiring
04:57Chrome could significantly increase their market presence. The United Arab Emirates has become the first
05:05country to utilize artificial intelligence for drafting new laws and amending existing legislation. This
05:12initiative aims to streamline the legislative process, and is part of a broader strategy to enhance the
05:17efficiency of government operations, with expectations of significant economic benefits by 2030.
05:25OpenAI has countersued Elon Musk, claiming his bid to purchase the company was a disruptive attempt to
05:31gain control and potentially harm its revenue. The lawsuit alleges that Musk's offer was not based on
05:37legitimate financial assessments, and that his actions could threaten the mission of developing
05:41beneficial artificial general intelligence. OpenAI anticipates its revenue will reach $125 billion by
05:502029, driven by new AI products and services beyond its ChatGPT chatbot. The company plans to invest
05:57significantly in AI infrastructure, and aims to turn cash flow positive by 2029, with expectations of
06:05generating $2 billion in cash that year. The Trump administration is urging Europe to abandon a
06:12proposed AI rulebook that mandates stricter standards for AI developers regarding transparency and risk
06:18mitigation. The US mission to the EU has communicated with the European Commission and various European
06:24governments to express opposition to the current form of the code. Hollywood is facing significant
06:31disruption from technological advancements, particularly AI video generators that threaten traditional
06:36filmmaking. As open-source models emerge, they are capable of producing longer and more consistent
06:42video content, potentially transforming the industry and changing how films are made and consumed.
06:48The rapid evolution of AI technology suggests that by 2027, generative AI could dominate the
06:55production of media content. You've been tuned into the tech edition of Daily World Podcast.
