ow dawson s creek facebook watch had meaningful reach on the home screen of the social media platform and an impressive budget as well facebook and netflix appeared ready to butt heads in the streaming world and the netflix cofounder found himself in the middle as a facebook board member netflix was a large advertiser to facebook and plaintiffs allege zuckerberg shuttered its promising watch platform for the sake of the greater advertising business zuckerberg personally emailed the head of facebook watch in may of 2018 fidji simo to tell her their budget was being slashed by 750 million just two years after watch s launch according to court filings the sudden pivot meant facebook was now dismantling the streaming business it had spent the last two years growing during this

revolution dept an anonymous reader quotes a report from ars technica the white house has announced the first government wide policy pdf to mitigate risks of artificial intelligence ai and harness its benefits to coordinate these efforts every federal agency must appoint a chief ai officer with significant expertise in ai some agencies have already appointed chief ai officers but any agency that has not must appoint a senior official over the next 60 days if an official already appointed as a chief ai officer does not have the necessary authority to coordinate ai use in the agency they must be granted additional authority or else a new chief ai officer must be named ideal candidates the white house recommended might include chief information officers chief data officers or chief technology officers the office of management and budget omb policy said as chief ai officers appointees will serve as senior advisers on ai initiatives monitoring and inventorying all agency uses of ai they must conduct risk assessments to consider whether any ai uses are impacting safety security civil rights civil liberties privacy democratic values human rights equal opportunities worker well being access to critical resources and services agency trust and credibility and market competition omb said perhaps most urgently by december 1 the officers must correct all non compliant ai uses in government unless an extension of up to one year is granted the chief ai officers will seemingly enjoy a lot of power and oversight over how the government uses ai it s up to the chief ai officers to develop a plan to comply with minimum safety standards and to work with chief financial and human resource officers to develop the necessary budgets and workforces to use ai to further each agency s mission and ensure equitable outcomes omb said among the chief ai officer s primary responsibilities is determining what ai uses might impact the safety or rights of us citizens they ll do this by assessing ai impacts conducting real world tests independently evaluating ai regularly evaluating risks properly training staff providing additional human oversight where necessary and giving public notice of any ai use that could have a significant impact on rights or safety omb said chief ai officers will ultimately decide if any ai use is safety or rights impacting and must adhere to omb s minimum standards for responsible ai use once a determination is made the officers will centrally track the determinations informing omb of any major changes to conditions or context in which the ai is used the officers will also regularly convene a new chief ai officer council to coordinate efforts and share innovations government wide chief ai officers must consult with the public and maintain options to opt out of ai enabled decisions omb said however these chief ai officers also have the power to waive opt out options if they can demonstrate that a human alternative would result in a service that is less fair e g produces a disparate impact on protected classes or if an opt out would impose undue hardship on the agency 173402391 story how apple plans to update new iphones without

french site igeneration has the first picture of what this setup looks like it starts with a clearly apple designed silver rack that holds iphones and has a few lights on the front the site through

article that the device can wirelessly turn on the iphone update its software and then power it back down all without the phone s packaging ever being opened in another article he wrote that the device uses magsafe and other wireless technologies the igeneration report also mentions that the device uses nfc and there are templates that help with positioning the various sized iphone boxes so
