TechCrunch published an article on AI by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. "AI is simply a modern way of developing software," Huang said. "Evolving software can sense, reason, and plan behavior, and it will improve as it's used." According to Huang, within 10 years, nearly all forms of computing will be AI-based, and someday NVIDIA itself will become an AI computing company. He expressed interest in the Holodeck, a virtual reality simulator, saying, "The sharpest intuition we have is acquiring information." Additionally, he predicted, “If NVIDIA develops an information vision that can realize this and overcomes limitations, electronics will become one of the cells in our bodies.”

Smartphone applications reduce anxiety
The University of Manchester published research showing that smartphone apps can help reduce anxiety. ComputerWeekly.com reported that the app is effective because it can be tailored to individual needs, not just to focus on anxiety, but to improve overall mental health and well-being. The study found that 1,837 people suffering from the disorder who used the smartphone-based app alongside traditional treatments experienced significant reductions in anxiety symptoms. "Future research should explore practical approaches to integrating smartphone support within existing healthcare services and comparing interventions with face-to-face anxiety treatments," the Manchester researchers said.

Why did Capital One buy hundreds of Apple Watches for its employees?



Capital One, a US financial services firm, has given its employees hundreds of Apple Watches. The Apple Watch may already be a thing of the past. The fact that Amazon, Google Maps, and eBay have disappeared from the Apple Watch app is proof of this. It appears the company introduced the Apple Watches to enhance the convenience of employees interacting with customers at the Capital One Cafe. Employees can use the Apple Watch's logs to improve work efficiency in situations like leaving a customer behind to order a latte, coordinating the next meeting, or handing over a task to another employee. Business Insider reported that Capital One had purchased around 30,000 smartwatches, but Capital One denied the purchase and said it was only “a few hundred watches.”

Teens anxious about Facebook surveillance
"Have you ever been surprised by ads on Facebook that you were interested in?" The Guardian reported, "Facebook's data collection is moving beyond advertising to encompass medical and mental health data." As digital platforms rapidly evolve, they analyze and use user groups to make decisions about new features. In fact, in 2016, Harvard analyzed depression based on the filters applied by Instagram users. “Teenagers feel threatened in their freedom and autonomy and experience aversive emotions,” says web psychologist Natalie.

A student creates a dental retainer with a 3D printer.


A student at the New Jersey Institute of Technology used a 3D printer to fix his teeth for just $60, Business Insider reported. He had braces in middle school, but his teeth had shifted backwards because he didn't use retainers. Unwilling to pay the extra cost of a dentist, he decided to create his own retainers. "I first took an impression of my teeth using alginate powder, filled the mold with liquid permastone, and used a razor blade to smooth it once the mold was complete," he explained. After wearing the braces that were completed in this way, his teeth returned to an even alignment after four months.

The Indian government aims to sell 100% electric vehicles by 2030.
Reuters reported that India is the world's fastest-growing electric vehicle market, fueled by tax and interest rate cuts. The Indian government launched a policy in 2015 to boost sales of hybrid and electric vehicles, targeting sales of up to 7 million units. Despite subsidies of up to 140,000 rupees ($2,175) for vehicle purchases, sales growth remained stagnant. In response, the government established a policy to support electric vehicle charging by building infrastructure, including a 250MW battery factory by 2018, and generating 1 gigawatt of electricity by 2020. The new policy also includes lower tariffs on vehicle manufacturers and subsidies for the use of electric vehicles as taxis.
