The planet has already passed 1.5°C of warming against pre-industrial levels, or it’s very near. This isn’t fiction or a scam; it’s science and it’s existential. The 1.5°C target was set at the 2015 Paris Agreement after intense pressure from vulnerable island nations. It was meant to head off irreversible tipping points like catastrophic sea-level […] The post Passing 1.5°C global warming: Performative ESG is no longer acceptable appeared first on e27.

For much of the past three years, the politics of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolved around relatively familiar questions. Will AI take jobs? Who owns the copyright to the material on which models are trained? Can companies protect personal data? And who should be responsible when an algorithm causes harm? Britain’s latest AI debate suggests […] The post AI governance is moving from promises to proof appeared first on e27.

Korean conglomerate Samsung Group said Tuesday it will invest a combined $1 billion in Helix Digital Infrastructure, a U.S. artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure company backed by private equity firm KKR & Co. Six affiliates — Samsung Electronics, Samsung C&T, Samsung SDS, Samsung SDI, Samsung Life Insurance and Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance — will participate in the investment, Samsung said in a statement. Samsung Electronics will invest $500 million, while the other five affiliates will invest a combined $500 million.

The company is led by Adam Selipsky, the former chief executive of Amazon Web Services. Nvidia is a strategic partner, while Vistra is Helix's preferred power partner. The Samsung affiliates will join KKR, Nvidia, Vistra and the Kuwait Investment Authority as founding investors in Helix through the investment, Samsung said. As the AI industry expands rapidly, the importance of infrastructure n

A group of news outlets suing OpenAI for copyright infringement argued Monday that the court should give “little weight” to the views of the Department of Justice (DOJ), which signaled support for the AI firm earlier this month. The New York Times, Chicago Tribune and other outlets in the case suggested the administration “may have...

My first real entry point into Dune was Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part One. I knew what Dune was before watching it, of course, but the 2021 film was the first time the world really clicked for me. Dune: Part Two only made it more compelling. A big part of that was Paul Atreides and the

Korean Air faces a growing maintenance capacity challenge, as its acquisition of Asiana Airlines creates a fleet of more than 230 aircraft at a time when heavy-maintenance slots remain increasingly difficult to secure across Asia. The integrated carrier, scheduled to launch in December, will operate the larger fleet and employ more than 4,000 maintenance workers. It will require more airframe, engine and component maintenance that must be handled internally or secured through outside maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) providers. However, constrained global MRO capacity and a shortage of international heavy-maintenance slots have become a material operational risk to Korean Air. Securing wide-body base-maintenance slots has become particularly difficult across Southeast Asia. Korean Air is responding by expanding its own capabilities. In November last year, the airline and Incheon International Airport Corp. (IIAC) agreed to invest 176 billion won ($130 million) to build a next-generation maintenance hangar at the airport's High-Tech Aviation Complex. The facility will be able to ac

Korea was ranked 12th place in the global artificial intelligence (AI) diffusion scale, with more than 40 percent of the population using the technology in the second quarter, a report from Microsoft Corp. showed Monday. Generative AI usage rate among Koreans aged 15 to 64 rose 3.5 percentage points from the previous quarter, bringing the country up by four ranks as of end-June, according to the global AI diffusion report published by the U.S. software developer. Global usage rate of generative AI was up 1 percentage point from 17.8 percent in the January-March period to 18.8 percent in the April-June period, the report showed. United Arab Emirates (UAE) was the highest in AI adoption, with a usage rate of 73.3 percent. Followed by Singapore at 64.3 percent, Ireland at 49.9 percent and France estimated at 49.6 percent. The AI usage rate was 28.8 percent in the Global North and 16.2 percent in the Global South, widening the adoption gap to 12.6 percentage points. Global North is a term referring to wealthy, industrialized countries, such as the United States, Korea, Japan, Israel and New Z
