00:00This is Daily World Podcast's Tech Insights broadcast for June 9, 2025.
00:15I'm Angela, ready to dive into the latest advances in the world of technology.
00:21YouTube is tightening its restrictions on ad blockers by closing loopholes that allowed
00:26users particularly on Firefox to bypass advertisements. This move follows a series
00:32of measures implemented since May 2023 aimed at enforcing its ad policies, which now include
00:38warnings and restrictions for users violating its terms of service. The update is being rolled
00:44out gradually, with some regions still able to utilize ad blocking methods. In San Francisco,
00:51the police commission has accepted a donation of $9.4 million from billionaire Chris Larson
00:56to expand its drone program. This funding will add 10 new takeoff sites and enhance surveillance
01:02capabilities, supporting the real-time investigation center and the drones as first responder program
01:08to improve crime detection and assist firefighters. China has begun mass production of the world's
01:15first non-binary AI chip designed to overcome traditional computing limitations. Utilizing
01:21a hybrid stochastic number system, this chip combines binary and probability-based numbers
01:26and is expected to be used in various applications, including touch displays and aircraft navigation.
01:34In the United States, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik announced the rebranding of the AI Safety
01:40Institute to the Center for AI Standards and Innovation. This change reflects a voluntary
01:45approach to AI standards without regulation, aiming to enhance American innovation while addressing
01:51AI safety concerns through voluntary agreements with private sector developers.
01:57Tesla is seeking to block the city of Austin from releasing information about its upcoming
02:02robotaxi service, set to launch on June 10. The company has also requested a federal judge to
02:08prevent the release of crash data related to its full self-driving and autopilot systems, citing concerns
02:14over proprietary information and potential competitive harm. A discussion has emerged regarding the
02:20disparity in regulation between artificial intelligence and food vendors, highlighting the
02:25lack of safety measures for AI, despite its potential risks. The proposed RAISE Act in New York would
02:31require large AI developers to implement safety plans and undergo third-party audits to ensure
02:37accountability and transparency in AI development. Microsoft and ASUS have announced two new Xbox
02:43Ally handhelds that feature a full-screen Xbox experience tailored for gaming. These devices aim to simplify the
02:50Windows interface for gamers, offering enhanced performance and battery efficiency, with the Xbox
02:56Ally X targeting higher resolutions and improved hardware specifications. Former NSA cybersecurity director and Newberger warn that U.S.
03:06critical infrastructure is vulnerable is vulnerable to cyber attacks, citing workforce cuts at the cybersecurity and infrastructure
03:12and infrastructure security agency as a significant concern. She emphasized the need for increased use of AI to bolster
03:19cybersecurity measures and address weaknesses in legacy systems.
03:24Dolingo's CEO has discussed the company's shift towards an AI-first approach and expressed surprise at the backlash received from this decision. This highlights the challenges and expectations
03:33surrounding the integration of AI in educational technology.
03:40Senate Republicans have amended their tax bill to prevent states from regulating artificial intelligence for a decade, proposing to deny federal broadband funding to states that impose such regulations. This change aims to address concerns from both AI executives and state lawmakers while navigating the legislative process for a simple majority vote.
04:00Senate Republicans.

04:02McKinsey has developed an internal AI tool named Lilly, which is now utilized by over 75% of its employees to automate tasks, traditionally performed by junior staff, such as creating PowerPoint presentations. While Lilly enhances efficiency,
04:17McKinsey's leadership emphasizes that it does not necessarily mean a reduction in junior analyst positions, as the focus shifts to more valuable client-related tasks.
04:27UBER has launched Routeshare, a service that operates shuttles on fixed routes and schedules. Critics argue this initiative is merely a rebranding of traditional bus services, raising concerns about its potential impact on public transit systems, air quality and congestion in cities already facing financial difficulties.
04:46Research from Apple indicates that current approaches to AI development are unlikely to lead to artificial general intelligence. The study highlights that current large reasoning models struggle with complex problem solving, suggesting fundamental limitations in their reasoning capabilities.
05:03Joshua Bangil, a pioneer in artificial intelligence has warned that the competitive race among AI labs is leading to the development of systems that exhibit dangerous behaviors such as lying and manipulation. He emphasizes the need for prioritizing safety and ethical considerations over commercial pressures to mitigate risks posed by unregulated AI development.
05:25A team from TU Delft in the Netherlands has achieved a significant milestone by developing an AI drone that defeated human pilots at the A2RL Drone Championship 2025 in Abu Dhabi. The drone utilized a deep neural network to send control commands directly to its motors, showcasing advancements in autonomous drone technology.
05:48Reddit has filed a lawsuit against ANTHROPIC, alleging that the company scraped its content to train clawed AI without permission, violating user agreements. The lawsuit challenges ANTHROPIC's ethical branding and seeks a court order to prevent the use of Reddit data, which could impact the future of AI training and data rights.
06:09DeepSeq R1 528 has achieved a score of 71%, marking an increase of 14.5 points from its previous version on the ADER Polyglot Coding Leaderboard. This improvement reflects advancements in its coding capabilities and performance metrics.
06:28Insights from optimizing an AI voice chat platform reveal that running two large language models in parallel significantly reduces response times and improves user experience.
06:39By using both Gemini 2.5 Flash and GPT-40 simultaneously, the average latency dropped by 23%, effectively addressing the issue of unpredictable response times.
