When you make a voice call through Zoom, FaceTime or WhatsApp, you’re not just sharing what you say. You’re revealing your age, gender, emotional state, social background and personality—a biometric fingerprint just as unique as your face. And increasingly, artificial intelligence is listening.When you make a voice call through Zoom, FaceTime or WhatsApp, you’re not just sharing what you say.

Strong by Form will show its ultralight engineered wood at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025
Even before a building accepts its first occupant, it has racked up a steep carbon debt. Worldwide, the materials and construction required to erect buildings contributes 11% of global carbon emissions, according to the World Green Building Council. Some places have begun experimenting with multistory timber buildings, and while they’ve recently reached new heights, timber […]Even before a building accepts its first occupant, it has racked up a steep carbon debt.

An artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been developed to enable camera-based autonomous vehicles to perceive their surroundings more accurately. This innovative approach utilizes the geometric concept of the vanishing point—an artistic device that conveys depth and perspective in images.An artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been developed to enable camera-based autonomous vehicles to perceive their surroundings more accurately.

Many modern artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as surgical robotics and real-time financial trading, depend on the ability to quickly extract key features from streams of raw data. This process is currently bottlenecked by traditional digital processors. The physical limits of conventional electronics prevent the reduction in latency and the gains in throughput required in emerging data-intensive services.Many modern artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as surgical robotics and real-time financial trading, depend on the ability to quickly extract key features from streams of raw data.
