Representative Ro Khanna writes in a new book that too much wealth is concentrated in too few hands, and too many digital jobs are crowded into a handful of tech hubs.

T.J. Kirkpatrick for The New York Times

Not your average political book

It’s not often that you meet a member of Congress who is eager to discuss the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas.

But Representative Ro Khanna is not like most members of Congress. He represents one of the wealthiest districts in America — a chunk of Silicon Valley that is home to tech behemoths like Apple and Intel — yet he was a co-chair of Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign. He’s a former intellectual property lawyer whose 2016 House bid was backed by venture capitalists and tech moguls, but he’s also a prominent critic of social media companies like Facebook.

The deployment of 5G technology worldwide has made chip makers intensify production further to ensure that smartphone manufacturers will have enough hardware to meet the continually growing demand. The introduction of 5G has also led to need for research and testing facilities. To meet that need, Qualcomm has announced that it is opening a “Interoperability Testing Laboratory” in Vietnam. The new test facility will primarily cater to its research and development needs and offer “world-class testing and engineering development services to local OEMs and partners”. Also Read – Qualcomm launches its RB5 robotics platform with Artificial Intelligence and 5G Tiếp tục đọc “Qualcomm opens new testing facility in Vietnam to expand 5G development in South East Asian markets” →

Made-in-Vietnam phones make sense economically. The country dependent on factory work for the past 30 years is moving up the value chain into electronics. Smartphone developer Samsung Electronics has invested $17.3 billion in Vietnam-based factories, for example. Public schools emphasize science. University graduates who work for a foreign tech firm will know all the more about how to make a phone.

LONDON — European authorities on Wednesday fined Google 1.5 billion euros for antitrust violations in the online advertising market, continuing its efforts to rein in the world’s biggest technology companies.

The fine, worth about $1.7 billion, is the third against Google by the European Union since 2017, reinforcing the region’s position as the world’s most aggressive watchdog of an industry with an increasingly powerful role in society and the global economy. The regulators said Google had violated antitrust rules by imposing unfair terms on companies that used its search bar on their websites in Europe.

Viet Nam NewsWASHINGTON — Facebook launched an offensive on Thursday to suppress the spread of misinformation about vaccines on the 2.3-billion-member social network.

The company has faced pressure in recent weeks to tackle the problem, amid outbreaks of measles around the United States attributed to growing numbers of parents who refuse to vaccinate their children.

US lawmakers have decried the higher incidences of preventable diseases in the wake of a movement against child vaccination, in large part due to rumours they can cause health or developmental issues. Tiếp tục đọc “Facebook launches offensive to combat misinformation on vaccines” →

The race for advanced artificial intelligence has already started. A few weeks ago, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating the “American AI Initiative,” with which the United States joined other major countries pursuing national strategies for developing AI. China released its “New Generation Plan” in 2017, outlining its strategy to lead the world in AI by 2030. Months after that announcement, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared, “Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world.” Tiếp tục đọc “Whoever Predicts the Future Will Win the AI Arms Race” →

The federal government’s chief auditor has recommended Congress consider developing legislation to beef up consumers’ internet data privacy protections. much like the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation.

The recommendation was included in a 56-page report (PDF) issued Wednesday by the Government Accountability Office, the government agency that provides auditing, evaluation and investigative services for Congress. The report was prepared at the request two years ago by Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.), chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has scheduled a hearing to discuss the subject for Feb. 26.

Tin giả

Chào các bạn,

Ngày nay có một vấn đề cực lớn cho mọi quốc gia, đó là tin giả (fake news) tràn ngập và công nghệ thông tin giúp cho đạo tặc có cách dùng tin giả tài giỏi vượt bậc mà cho đến nay vẫn chưa có cách xử lý thỏa đáng. Và các bạn có đầu óc, người trí thức, cần phải biết vấn đề và tự xử lý cho bạn, vì người trí thức là chất xám cho đất nước. Chúng ta có nghĩa vụ làm chất xám cho đất nước.

Tin giả, tức là tin cố tình sai sự thật. Mình nói “cố tình” là vì đôi khi một ký giả làm việc rất kỹ lưỡng và chuyên nghiệp, nhưng bản tin vẫn có thể có một vài sai sót. Đó là điều thường xảy ra. Khi ký giả có thông tin chính xác hơn, thì thường bổ túc cập nhật bản tin cũ và đôi khi xin lỗi. Nhưng khi người viết tin cố tình viết sai, hay viết thuần túy một chiều (bỏ hẳn chiều kia), thì đó là tin giả, tức là cố ý làm bản tin bị sai sót. Tiếp tục đọc “Tin giả” →

Chinese surveillance technology is being used by Latin American countries for everything from fighting crime to monitoring natural disasters – but critics fear it could be used for darker purposes, too.

Without sufficient checks, the technology could provide authoritarian regimes with “something they have previously only dreamed about: a massive ability to sanction persons who engage in political or social behaviours disapproved of by government”, warns a recent study by the Centre For Strategic and International Studies.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – A senior U.S. intelligence official said on Tuesday that Chinese cyber activity in the United States had risen in recent months, targeting critical infrastructure in what may be attempts to lay the groundwork for future disruptive attacks.

“You worry they are prepositioning against critical infrastructure and trying to be able to do the types of disruptive operations that would be the most concern,” National Security Agency official Rob Joyce said at a Wall Street Journal cybersecurity conference.

Microsoft has uncovered new Russian hacking efforts targeting U.S. political groups ahead of the midterm elections.

The company said Tuesday that a group tied to the Russian government created fake websites that appeared to spoof two American conservative organizations: the Hudson Institute and the International Republican Institute. Three other fake sites were designed to look as if they belonged to the U.S. Senate. Tiếp tục đọc “Microsoft uncovers more Russian hacking ahead of midterms” →
