We tested Apple's Siri, Amazon Echo's Alexa, Microsoft's Cortana, and Google's Google Home to see which personal assistant bots stand up for themselves in the face of sexual harassment Siri, Alexa, Cortana, and Google Home have women’s voices because women’s voices make more money. Yes, Silicon Valley is male-dominated and notoriously sexist, but this phenomenon runs deeper than that. Bot creators are primarily driven by predicted market success, which depends on customer satisfaction—and customers like their digital servants to sound like women. Regardless, Loab sparked some lengthy ethical conversations around visual aesthetics, art and technology. Naming a baby is a deeply emotional and personal experience that involves intuition and a connection with names that AI might n...

Prvi krug hrvatskih predsjedničkih izbora održat će se 29. prosinca 2024. godine, a u slučaju da nitko od kandidata ne dobije apsolutnu većinu glasova, drugi krug izbora bit će 12. siječnja 2025. godine. Kandidati trenutno prikupljaju potpise, a svakome od njih potrebno je 10 000 jedinstvenih potpisa potpore birača kako bi im Državno izborno povjerenstvo službeno odobrilo kandidaturu. Neki od kandidata već su predali liste, uglavnom oni kandidati koji uživaju podršku najvećih stranaka, kao što su trenutni predsjednik Zoran Milanović i HDZ-ov kandidat Dragan Primorac.

Tapping in to Next-Gen Intercoms Even beyond the sexy carbon fiber shell and three-pound weight, there are standout features that make the Klim Krios Pro helmet unique. Its Koroyd honeycomb internal structure works like a car’s crumple zone in an accident, so it self-destructs on impact, sucking up forces caused by deceleration. The helmet also has a transitions lens that changes with the available light, so you can always see clearly and ride more safely. The Valiant II means you don’t have to since the LS2 has both flip-up modularity and can be used as a three-quarter open-face helmet. If you bike or ski, chances are you already know MIPS as the anti-rotation system developed in Sweden that’s designed to combat the forces that cause concussions. But you won’t find it in every moto ...

Fraud, productivity are top of mind for AI thought leaders in banks Generative AI can also automate time-consuming tasks such as regulatory reporting, credit approval and loan underwriting. For example, AI can quickly process and summarize large volumes of financial data, generating draft reports and credit memos that would traditionally require significant manual effort. In the near term, banks should focus on driving forward the highest value potential opportunities while factoring in the level of risk exposure. Several states -- including California, Illinois, Texas and Colorado -- have introduced or passed laws focused on protecting consumers from harms caused by AI. AI chatbots could also be used internally to help employees access their benefits and perform other self...
