00:00Thanks for joining Daily World Podcast's Technology Report on July 11, 2025.
00:15I'm Angela, here to decode the newest tech trends and innovations.
00:21Intel CEO Lep Bhutan has reportedly stated that the company has fallen out of the top
00:2610 semiconductor firms, indicating significant challenges in keeping pace with AI competition
00:31from leaders like NVIDIA and AMD. The firm is undergoing substantial layoffs and is shifting
00:37its focus towards edge AI and agentic AI to regain market relevance. In social media developments,
00:45X has removed Linda Yaccarino's verified blue check and company affiliation badges following
00:50her resignation as CEO. This action underscores the platform's policy of stripping verification
00:56from former employees, raising questions about the meaning of such verification in the
01:00digital landscape. Elon Musk has announced that Grok, a large language model from his
01:07XAI startup, will soon be integrated into Tesla vehicles, despite recent controversies involving
01:13anti-Semitic remarks made by the AI. XAI is taking measures to address these issues by banning
01:18hate speech and updating the model, as the trend of incorporating AI assistance into vehicles
01:24continues to grow. Delta Airlines has banned its flight attendants from wearing AI-powered
01:30smart glasses, unless issued by the airline, citing safety and security concerns. This decision
01:36reflects ongoing privacy and data protection issues associated with wearable AI technology,
01:42contrasting with previous industry experiments by other airlines.
01:45A study by Microsoft Research has analyzed 200,000 real conversations with Bing Copilot,
01:53revealing that AI is most impacting knowledge and communication roles such as interpreters and
01:57customer service representatives, while physical jobs remain largely unaffected. The findings suggest
02:03that AI's role is more about augmenting existing jobs, rather than displacing them.
02:09In smart home technology, Belkin announced it will cease support for nearly all WeMo devices by
02:15January 31, 2026, with continued functionality only for those set up in Apple HomeKit. After this date,
02:23cloud-dependent features and technical support will be discontinued.
02:28Cloudflare is advocating for Google to allow websites to block AI-specific crawlers without losing
02:33search visibility. The company is implementing a pay-per-crawl system to address unregulated AI data
02:40scraping, with CEO Matthew Prince warning that legal measures may be necessary if cooperation is not
02:46achieved. Black Forest Labs has launched two innovative tools, Context Composer and Context-powered
02:53presets, which allow users to transform images without needing to write prompts, enhancing the creative
02:59editing process. In a unique response to AI inaccuracies, the sheet music platform Soundsless developed a new
03:07feature to import ASCII Tablature after discovering that ChatGPT had falsely claimed the service supported
03:12it. This highlights the ongoing challenges posed by AI hallucinations. A randomized controlled trial
03:20has found that experienced open-source developers took 19% longer to complete tasks when using AI tools,
03:27contradicting expectations of increased efficiency. This study aims to better understand AI's impact on
03:33developer productivity. Finally, OpenAI and Perplexity are launching AI-powered web browsers as part of a
03:42strategy to integrate their language models into essential applications. While OpenAI seeks to position ChatGPT
03:50as a competitor in the office suite market, Perplexity aims to redefine browsing experiences. However, the
03:57success of these initiatives may face challenges from established tech giants.
04:03You've been listening to Daily World Podcast's Technology Update. I'm Angela signing off. Until next time,
04:09keep exploring the frontiers of tech.
