A research group from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada has recently discovered a promising antibiotic that could help in the fight against the multi-resistant germ Acinetobacter baumannii, using AI technology. This pathogen is known to be one of the most dangerous types of multi-resistant germs and can cause several harmful infections. Most traditional antibiotics tend to attack all bacteria, including the beneficial ones. However, AI technology enables researchers to analyze large chemical compounds specifically to identify molecules that enable precise, effective defense against certain pathogens.
Tesla’s “Autopilot” driver assistance system is reportedly causing more issues than previously known. The data spanned over 100 gigabytes in size and includes personal data from Tesla’s workforce, customer complaints, descriptions of over 1,000 accidents, and more than 2,400 complaints about self-acceleration and over 1,500 problems with braking functions. These findings were discovered by the Handelsblatt, which feeds informants data on the matter.
A useful tool, iRecorder – Screen Recorder, an Android app with over 50,000 installations, has now been discovered to have been upgraded with spy functions. A year after its launch, the initially legitimate app was retrofitted with malicious code, including microphone recordings and stealing files with specific extensions. Google has since removed the app from its Play Store.
Amazon’s streaming service, Prime Video, has published an image via Twitter depicting a start screen with the well-known caption, “Who is watching?” If zoomed in, the names of the profiles add up to the phrase, “All People With My Password,” with the tweet concluding with the sentence, “Do you know.” It is surprising to see such a tweet since Netflix has recently taken action against users who share their accounts with people outside the household. However, in the past, the streaming service had advocated for password sharing.
In conclusion, AI technology is beneficial in discovering promising antibiotics that can help fight harmful pathogens like multi-resistant germs. In addition, the findings surrounding Tesla’s Autopilot and iRecorder-Screen Recorder’s recent update have signaled vulnerabilities that users should be aware of. Lastly, it’s worth noting that streaming services such as Netflix and Prime Video are taking action against users who share their accounts, a practice that was once encouraged in the past.
