Sarah Lane: 本期节目报道了多项科技新闻,包括TikTok寻求阻止其在美国被禁的紧急禁令,理由是潜在的灾难性影响。该公司认为,这项得到广泛两党支持的法律将造成无法弥补的损害,并影响数百万美国用户。现行法律规定,TikTok的出售或禁令将于2025年1月生效。TikTok正在争取时间让最高法院审查其案件,并认为临时禁令会导致严重的收入损失和用户流失。 Reddit宣布正在测试一项名为Reddit Answers的新型对话式AI功能,旨在让用户提问并接收平台上相关回复和主题的精选摘要。该功能由Reddit自己的技术提供支持,但也集成了来自OpenAI和Google Cloud的模型。Reddit Answers目前仅限于美国部分用户使用,并且仅支持英语。该公司表示,未来将把这项功能推广到更多国家,并增加对其他语言的支持。 Deep Health的一项研究表明,在乳房X光检查中使用AI可以提高癌症检测率。部分女性付费使用符合FDA标准的AI软件处理乳房X光照片,作为第二套眼睛帮助放射科医生发现潜在问题。研究结果表明,AI提高癌症检测率的原因一部分是高危患者更有可能参与该项目,但另一部分可能是由于AI提高了额外影像检查的召回率。 小米发布了Y7 SUV,计划于2025年中旬上市,其尺寸和形状与特斯拉Model Y相当。Y7 SUV配备双电机系统,峰值输出功率为508千瓦,最高时速为253公里,并使用CATL的锂离子电池。预计在中国地区的售价约为34500美元。 罗马尼亚宪法法院宣布2024年总统选举第一轮无效,原因是存在算法操纵和网络攻击。选举文件显示,一名候选人的竞选活动在TikTok上存在潜在的算法操纵行为,以及来自外部国家行为者的超过85000次对选举网站和IT系统的网络攻击。 谷歌宣布其最新的Sycamore量子芯片在解决特定计算难题方面比经典超级计算机快得多,标志着量子计算的进步。一些人警告说,实际的通用量子计算还有数年时间才能实现。 一份新的报告显示,苹果公司可能正在考虑让其Vision Pro混合现实设备对游戏玩家和游戏开发者更具吸引力。苹果正在与索尼商谈增加对PlayStation VR2手柄的支持,并与开发者讨论他们是否会在游戏中支持这些手柄。
