• Microsoft brings combined Word, Excel, and PowerPoint app to iOS

  19-02-2020 22:52 via thenextweb.com
  
  It was just a couple of days ago that Microsoft publicly introduced its super-handy combined Office app to the Google Play Store. The app packs Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF tools, and a variety of features into a single app instead of forcing you to download a separate one for each utility. At the time, we wondered why the app wasn’t on iOS, but now it seems the Play Store may have simply jumped the gun – just two days later, the app is now available on iOS and Microsoft has of

  19-02-2020 22:16 via thenextweb.com
  
  The field of AI, especially in the realm of deep learning, is at an inflection point. We’re either going to break on through to the other side – where deep learning becomes deep understanding – or continue spinning our collective wheels pouring trillions of dollars worth of compute into making Alexa a fraction of a percent better at pretending it understands what you’re saying. That’s a trite summation for what’s happening, but according to Gary Marcus, the C

• UK plan to replace migrant carers with automation branded ‘ridiculous’

  19-02-2020 20:22 via thenextweb.com
  
  A UK government plan to replace migrant care workers with automation has been slammed as “ridiculous” by one of the country’s AI luminaries. The new immigration system would close the door to “low-skilled” workers from the EU, who currently make up a huge proportion of staff in social care, a sector where there are already more than 120,000 job vacancies — and growing demand. The government wants employers to fill this gap w

• The EU is right to scrutinize small tech acquisitions — but not in detriment of innovation

  19-02-2020 17:34 via thenextweb.com

The comments, made by Margrethe Vestager, the European Union’s (EU) chief competition officer, come amid an alleged “shopping spree” carried out by American behemoths. Although this appears to be meant to protect the European tech ecosystem, what will the actual effect be on startups and investors in the continent? [Read:&nbs

  Facebook is squaring off against the US over more than $9 billion in allegedly unpaid taxes, Financial Times reports. The US‘ Internal Revenue Service (IRS) says Facebook intentionally “downplayed” intellectual property (IP) it transferred to a subsidiary in Ireland in 2010. Facebook valued that IP, which reportedly includes software and trademarks, at $6.5 billion. The IRS, on the other hand, maintains that number should’ve been closer to $21 billion. [READ: Czech

• Some Teslas have been tricked into speeding by tape stuck on road signs

  19-02-2020 14:31 via thenextweb.com
  
  Hackers have tricked Tesla cars into autonomously speeding just by sticking two inches of tape on a speed limit sign. McAfee security researchers placed the slither of black electrical tape over part of a 35mph speed limit sign to slightly extend the middle of the “3”. This tiny alteration made the car’s camera misread the sign as 85 mph. The cruise control system then immediately accelerated towards this target — until the driver hit the brakes. Tesla’s

• Research: Early humans in Africa may have interbred with an unknown species

  One of the more startling discoveries arising from genomic sequencing of ancient hominin DNA is the realization that all humans outside Africa have traces of DNA in their genomes that do not belong to our own species. The approximately six billion people on Earth whose recent ancestry is not from Africa will have inherited between 1% and 2% of their genome from our closest but now extinct relatives: the Neanderthals. East Asians and Oceanians have also inherited a small amount of ancestry from
