Aujourd'hui, on parle d'un sujet aussi fascinant qu'inquiétant. Il s'agit, tenez-vous bien, de la capacité d'introspection des intelligences artificielles.Oui, vous avez bien entendu. Selon une nouvelle étude signée Anthropic, le créateur du chatbot Claude, certaines IA seraient capables… de « regarder à l'intérieur d'elles-mêmes ».Alors, que faut-il comprendre de cette information tout à fait étonnante ?Une forme d'auto-analyseD'abord, et c'est le premier point, il s'agit d'une découverte surprenante. Les chercheurs d'Anthropic ont mené une série d'expériences sur seize versions de leur modèle Claude.Et les résultats montrent que les intelligences artificielles les plus avancées, notamment Claude Opus 4, auraient montré une forme d'auto-analyse.Concrètement, dans certaines situations, le modèle pouvait décrire ses propres processus internes avec une précision étonnante. Et c'est cette capacité que les les chercheurs comparent à une sorte d'introspection fonctionnelle. Mais alors, vous dites-vous, comment s'y sont-il pris ?Injection de conceptsEt bien ils ont utilisé, une méthode expérimentale tout à fait originale. Les scientifiques ont en effet utilisé ce qu'ils appellent l'injection de concepts.Imaginez qu'on glisse discrètement une idée, par exemple, la notion de “cris en majuscules” que nous utilisons dans nos conversations écrites en ligne, dans le raisonnement de l'IA. Et ce alors qu'elle réfléchit à tout autre chose. Et bien si elle parvient ensuite à détecter cette idée et à la décrire correctement, cela veut dire qu'elle a perçu une modification dans son propre état interne.Eh bien, figurez-vous que Claude y est parvenu environ une fois sur cinq. Ce n'est pas parfait, certes, mais assez pour faire réfléchir à la capacité d'introspection des IA. Et cela a des implications majeures.Expliquer les décisions mais aussi mentirCertes, Anthropic insiste sur le fait que l'on est encore très loin d'une conscience artificielle. Mais le fait que les modèles les plus récents montrent davantage de « réflexivité » doit être surveillé de près.Car si une IA peut comprendre et ajuster son propre fonctionnement, elle pourrait, à terme, expliquer ses décisions de façon plus transparente. Mais aussi au contraire masquer délibérément ses intentions, un peu comme un humain qui apprend à mentir.Et ce sont deux scénarios que les chercheurs prennent désormais très au sérieux.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

Aujourd'hui, on parle des navigateurs d'intelligence artificielle, ces nouveaux outils censés révolutionner notre manière de naviguer sur le web.Mais sachez qu'ils font déjà frémir les experts en cybersécurité.La grande question c'est donc faut-il leur faire confiance ? Une nouvelle génération de navigateurs internetD'abord il faut bien comprendre qu'il s'agit d'une nouvelle génération de navigateurs internet. OpenAI par exemple vient tout juste de lancer ChatGPT Atlas, un navigateur qui intègre directement ChatGPT à l'intérieur de chaque onglet.L'idée paraît simple. Votre assistant IA vous accompagne partout sur le web, comprend ce que vous faites et peut même exécuter des actions pour vous, comme passer une commande en ligne, résumer un texte, ou encore analyser un dépôt GitHub.Atlas rejoint ainsi une nouvelle vague de navigateurs dits intelligents, comme Perplexity Comet, ou encore Dia. Mais derrière ces promesses d'efficacité se cache un vrai casse-tête côté sécurité et confidentialité.Le cauchemar des injections par des promptA commencer le cauchemar des injections par des prompt, en anglais on parle de prompt injection. Concrètement, cela signifie qu'un pirate peut tromper le modèle d'IA pour qu'il contourne ses propres garde-fous et exécute des actions non autorisées.Et comme ces assistants ont souvent les mêmes privilèges que l'utilisateur connecté, les dégâts peuvent être considérables. OpenAI assure investir « massivement » pour détecter ce type d'attaques. Mais comme le résume le développeur Simon Willison, « question sécurité, 99 % de réussite, c'est déjà un échec ».Mais au delà des attaques, la question de la vie privée est cardinale avec ces nouveaux navigateurs d'IA.La question du respect de la vie privéeCertes, OpenAI a prévu un mode déconnecté et un mode surveillance, censés redonner un peu de contrôle à l'utilisateur.Mais les experts restent sceptiques, car autoriser une IA à explorer tout votre historique de navigation, c'est lui ouvrir une fenêtre sur toute votre vie numérique.Eamonn Maguire, de Proton, va même plus loin. Selon lui, la navigation IA transforme la recherche en une forme de capitalisme de surveillance ultra-personnalisée parce que les IA ne voient plus seulement ce que vous cherchez, mais comment vous pensez et ce que vous ferez ensuite.Alors, faut-il adopter un navigateur IA ?Alors, faut-il adopter un navigateur IA ? Voici la réponse courte. Et bien pas encore.Et si vous voulez tester navigateur d'IA, évitez d'y connecter vos comptes sensibles, et surveillez de près les permissions que vous accordez.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

Aujourd'hui, on va parler d'une étude du média Future qui met en lumière les différences d'adoption de l'intelligence artificielle entre générations de professionnels.Et attention, il y a une petite surprise.Sur un point précis, les millennials battent la génération Z.Ce sont les plus jeunes qui utilisent le plus l'IA générativeLe premier point c'est que sans surprise, ce sont les plus jeunes qui utilisent le plus l'IA générative.Les 18-40 ans, donc les membres de la génération Z et les millennials, explorent davantage d'usages, que ce soit pour créer des images, générer du texte ou encore produire de la musique.Dans l'ensemble, plus on est jeune, plus on expérimente.Les millennials tirent leur épingle du jeu dans le commerce en ligneLe second point, c'est que là où les millennials tirent leur épingle du jeu, c'est dans le commerce en ligne.Ils sont légèrement plus nombreux que ceux de la génération Z à utiliser l'IA pour chercher des recommandations de produits. Et surtout, ils affichent une plus forte propension à acheter des technologies estampillées "IA".Et un tiers des millennials se disent prêts à investir, contre seulement un quart des Gen Z.Une partie de la génération Z dit tout simplement être "heureuse sans IA"Enfin le troisième point c'est que l'étude met aussi en avant les freins à l'adoption.Les baby-boomers restent préoccupés par la confidentialité, quand une partie de la génération Z dit tout simplement être "heureuse sans IA".Mais le chiffre marquant, c'est la hausse de ceux qui déclarent être opposés philosophiquement à l'IA. Et cela est tout simplement le signe d'un débat de société qui s'intensifie.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast ! Abonnez-vous !Hébergé par Ausha.

Aujourd'hui, on parle médecine et intelligence artificielle, avec une étude qui soulève un sujet plutôt inattendu.L'IA pourrait, paradoxalement, réduire les compétences des médecins lors de certaines procédures.D'abord commençons par le contexte.La détection du cancer par l'IALe cancer colorectal est l'un des plus fréquents dans le monde, et la coloscopie reste l'examen de référence pour détecter les polypes précancéreux.Et ces dernières années, des systèmes d'IA ont été introduits pour aider les gastro-entérologues à repérer plus facilement ces lésions. Et en effet, avec l'IA, le taux de détection augmente.Mais comme souvent, existe le revers de la médaille.Un effet inattendu appelé « deskilling »Une équipe polonaise a publié dans The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology une étude qui met en lumière un effet inattendu appelé « deskilling », autrement dit une perte de compétence des professionnels de santé qui utilisent des outils d'intelligence artificielle.En comparant les performances de 19 médecins avant et après l'introduction de l'IA, les chercheurs ont constaté que le taux de détection lors des coloscopies réalisées sans assistance avait baissé de 6 points en moyenne.Autrement dit, l'IA améliore les résultats quand elle est utilisée, mais semble réduire l'attention et la vigilance des médecins lorsqu'elle n'est pas là.La sur-confiance dans les outils automatisésAlors quelles sont les implications de cette découverte dérangeante. Ce phénomène pourrait refléter un biais humain bien connu, qui est la sur-confiance dans les outils automatisés.Si les médecins s'habituent trop à l'aide de l'IA, ils risquent d'être moins concentrés et moins performants seuls. Les chercheurs appellent donc à la prudence.Ces résultats doivent être confirmés, mais ils posent déjà un défi majeur pour l'intégration de l'IA en médecine, à savoir comment profiter de ses bénéfices sans fragiliser les compétences humaines ?Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

Aujourd'hui, parlons service client et intelligence artificielle.Selon le dernier rapport State of Service publié par Salesforce, dans seulement deux ans, la moitié des cas de service client pourraient être résolus par des agents d'IA.Il s'agit donc d'une véritable révolution pour un secteur en pleine mutation.Quelle adoption de l'IA dans le secteur du service client ?D'abord, faisons un point sur l'adoption de l'IA dans le secteur du service client. Les entreprises de services font face à une double pression. D'une part, les clients sont de plus exigeants. Et les équipes des services client sont sous tension à cause du manque de talents et de la charge administrative.L'étude révèle que 82 % des professionnels constatent des attentes clients plus élevées, alors même que les conseillers passent moins de la moitié de leur temps avec eux.Résultat, l'IA apparaît comme une solution incontournable pour libérer du temps, automatiser les tâches répétitives et redonner aux équipes le rôle relationnel à forte valeur ajoutée. Et c'est là qu'il faut souligner l'importance des agents d'IA.Pourquoi l'IA agentique attire particulièrement l'attentionSalesforce distingue trois formes d'IA dans le service support. Il distingue :L'IA prédictiveL'IA générativeEt enfin l'IA agentiqueEt c'est cette dernière, l'IA agentique, qui attire particulièrement l'attention.Déjà près de 40 % des organisations l'utilisent. Et d'ici 5 ans, seules 6 % disent ne pas vouloir y recourir. Pourquoi ? Parce que ces agents autonomes réduisent les coûts de service client, accélèrent la résolution des demandes et améliorent la satisfaction client. On estime même qu'ils pourraient réduire de 20 % les délais moyens de traitement.Un futur hybride entre l'homme et l'IAEnfin, le secteur du service client s'achemine peu à peu vers un futur hybride entre l'homme et l'IA.Loin de remplacer les conseillers, l'IA va compléter leur travail. Plus de 80 % des professionnels interrogés affirment que l'IA améliore leurs perspectives de carrière, en rendant leur travail plus productif et moins stressant.Les cas simples sont pris en charge automatiquement, tandis que les agents humains se concentrent sur les situations complexes. Cette collaboration redéfinit le service client, le rendant à la fois plus efficace et plus humain.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast ! Abonnez-vous !Hébergé par Ausha.

Aujourd'hui, on parle d'une avancée scientifique venue de l'université de Harvard aux Etats-Unis.Un outil d'intelligence artificielle gratuit créé là bas pourrait révolutionner la découverte de médicaments contre des maladies très complexes, comme le cancer, la maladie de Parkinson ou encore Alzheimer.Les limites des méthodes actuellesD'abord, il convient de noter les limites des méthodes actuelles.Traditionnellement, la recherche pharmaceutique s'attaque à une protéine à la fois. Et cette technique marche pour certaines thérapies ciblées, comme les inhibiteurs de kinases contre certains cancers.Mais quand une maladie implique des dizaines de gènes et de voies biologiques, cette approche devient vite trop limitée.Et on en vient à ce que fait l'outil de l'université de Harvard, qui se nomme PDGrapher.25 fois plus vite que d'autres modèlesLe modèle conçu par Harvard Medical School analyse les interactions entre gènes, protéines et signaux dans les cellules.Et plutôt que de tester des milliers de combinaisons au hasard, il propose directement les associations de traitements les plus prometteuses pour rétablir l'état sain d'une cellule.Dans les essais, cet outil a non seulement retrouvé des cibles déjà connues, mais il en a aussi identifié de nouvelles, appuyées par des données cliniques. Et surtout, il le fait 25 fois plus vite que d'autres modèles.PDGrapher est testé sur 11 types de cancersEnfin parlons des applications concrètes.Aujourd'hui, PDGrapher (dispo ici) est testé sur 11 types de cancers. Mais les chercheurs l'appliquent déjà à des maladies neurodégénératives comme Parkinson et Alzheimer.L'idée, c'est de réduire le temps et le coût de la recherche pharmaceutique, et surtout de mieux cibler les maladies multifactorielles, c'est à dire celles qui résistent aux traitements classiques.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

Aujourd'hui, on parle de la fin annoncée du SMS en France et de la montée en puissance de son grand remplaçant, le RCS.La bascule entre le SMS et le RCS déjà bien engagée en FranceD'abord il faut noter que la bascule entre le SMS et le RCS est déjà bien engagée en France.Selon l'AF2M, l'association qui regroupe opérateurs et acteurs du numérique dans l'hexagone, 80 % du parc de smartphones en France est désormais compatible avec le protocole RCS.Concrètement, cela représente plus de 48 millions d'appareils. Et bien sûr l'arrivée d'Apple dans la danse début 2025 a été un véritable accélérateur. Désormais, les iPhone comme les Android récents intègrent cette technologie par défaut.Le RCS est plus performantEnsuite, il faut comprendre que si le RCS remplace le SMS, c'est parce que ce dernier est bien moins performant.Oui, le RCS, c'est un SMS en beaucoup mieux. Là où le SMS se limite à du texte et quelques caractères, le RCS permet d'envoyer des photos et vidéos en haute qualité, des messages illimités, des conversations de groupe, des accusés de réception, voire du chiffrement de bout en bout.Bref, le RCS permet une expérience proche de ce que proposent les applications de messageries instantanées telles que WhatsApp ou Messenger, mais directement intégrée à l'application de messagerie native du smartphone.Pour les entreprises, le RCS est une petite révolutionEnfin le troisième point c'est que pour les entreprises, le RCS est une petite révolution.Le RCS ouvre en effet la voie à un business messaging enrichi et mesurable, notamment sur les taux de clics, les conversions, ou encore les interactions.En clair, les marques peuvent créer de vraies campagnes interactives sans passer par des applications mobiles tierces.L'AF2M estime même qu'en 2026, le RCS sera devenu le standard incontournable des communications professionnelles.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

C'est une grande avancée qui s'annonce dans le secteur du commerce électronique.Le prestataire de paiement Visa vient de dévoiler une mise à jour importante de sa plateforme Visa Intelligent Commerce, avec l'introduction de serveurs Model Context Protocol ou MCP.En clair, c'est une petite révolution pour les développeurs et les entreprises qui souhaitent intégrer l'IA dans leurs solutions de paiement.Facilitation du développement informatiqueD'abord, c'est le développement informatique qui est simplifié grâce à protocole MCP.Dans le détail, MCP facilite l'intégration des agents d'intelligence artificielle dans le réseau de paiement de Visa.En gros, il permet aux développeurs de se connecter plus rapidement aux API de Visa Intelligent Commerce.Visa promet que cette nouvelle couche d'intégration permet de passer de l'idée à un prototype en quelques heures, ce qui va largement accélérer le processus de création d'applications de commerce électronique. Il s'agit d'une vraie opportunité pour les entreprises souhaitant intégrer de l'IA sans se perdre dans des complexités techniques de mise en œuvre.Un SDK pour intégrer les agents d'IABien sûr l'entreprise fournit un kit pour les développeurs, un SDK, nommé Visa Acceptance Agent Toolkit.Le Visa Acceptance Agent Toolkit est l'outil clé pour les développeurs qui veulent travailler avec des agents IA, sans être des experts en codage. Ce kit permet de créer des flux de travail en langage naturel, comme par exemple la génération automatique de factures ou la consultation de rapports financiers via un assistant d'IA.Il donc simplifie les tâches administratives courantes et permet d'intégrer facilement des fonctions de paiement tout en utilisant l'intelligence artificielle pour améliorer l'expérience utilisateur.Stimuler l'adoption de l'IA dans le commerce électroniqueMais sur le long terme, que nous dit l'intégration de MCP à la plateforme Visa ?Visa voit cette initiative comme un moyen de stimuler l'adoption de l'IA dans le commerce électronique, aussi bien pour les entreprises que pour les client.En facilitant l'intégration de l'IA dans les processus de paiement, Visa cherche à rendre le commerce en ligne plus fluide et intuitif, à l'instar de ce que l'on peut déjà voir sur des plateformes comme eBay ou Amazon. La possibilité d'utiliser l'IA pour rechercher des produits ou effectuer des achats devient de plus en plus courante, et les nouvelles solutions proposées par Visa pourraient bien devenir incontournables pour les développeurs.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

C'est une nouveauté qui pourrait bien changer l'avenir du recrutement en entreprise. L'IA, ou plus précisément, l'intelligence artificielle utilisée pour mener des entretiens d'embauche, s'apprête à changer les processus de recrutement.Une étude américaine met en lumière les avantages surprenants de ces agents IA dans le processus de recrutement.L'IA recrute mieuxD'abord, l'étude mentionne que les résultats de recrutement menés avec l'aide de l'IA sont meilleurs que ceux menés de manière classique.L'étude a démontré que les entretiens menés par l'IA ont permis d'augmenter de 12 % le nombre d'offres d'emploi faites aux candidats, et de 18 % le taux de prise de poste.L'IA a la préférence des candidats !Ensuite, et c'est très surprenant, l'IA a la préférence des candidats !C'est un autre aspect étonnant de cette étude. 78 % des candidats ont préféré être interviewés par une IA plutôt que par un recruteur humain.Des entretiens profonds et de qualitéEnfin, la qualité et la profondeur des entretiens réalisé par l'IA sont également mis en avant !Oui, l'intelligence artificielle est aussi capable de mener des entretiens plus complets.Hébergé par Ausha.

C'est un phénomène en pleine croissance dans le monde de l'IA pour les professionnels. Il semble que les projets pilotes d'IA en entreprise échouent massivement. Une étude récente du MIT affirme même que seul 95 % des projets échouent.Pourtant, les entreprises investissent désormais des milliards pour intégrer l'IA. Alors, pourquoi tant de projets échouent-ils, et comment éviter ces pièges ?Des stratégies IA bien trop souvent court-termistesD'abord, les stratégies sont trop souvent axées sur le court terme.Pourquoi à court terme ? Et bien parce que beaucoup d'entreprises voient l'IA comme un simple levier pour couper les coûts à court terme.Par exemple, ces projets pilotes visent à remplacer des employés. Mais cela finit souvent par échouer. Pourquoi ? Parce qu'il manque une stratégie de long terme, orientée sur l'amélioration des processus, pas sur la suppression d'emplois. Bref, il faut un changement de mentalité, l'IA doit être un amplificateur de productivité, pas un outil de compression des coûts.Oui, l'intégration de l'IA est difficile dans les processus d'entrepriseOui, c'est souvent là que ça coince. La plupart des outils d'IA ne savent pas s'intégrer efficacement dans les flux de travail des entreprises.Par conséquent, les projets restent très très souvent bloqués en mode "démonstration".Au contraire, l'IA a besoin d'être adaptée aux processus existants, et cela demande une vraie préparation sur la données de qualité, des cas d'utilisation bien définis, ou encore et une gestion rigoureuse de l'évolution des systèmes.L'IA fantôme pourrait bien tous nous sauverMais un allié inattendu, et certes un peu risqué, peut être mis en œuvre. Il s'agit de l'IA fantôme, on dit shadow IT en anglais. Et bien sachez que cette solution informelle fonctionne.Car malgré les échecs officiels, l'IA est déjà utilisée au quotidien par les employés.On parle ici d'outils comme ChatGPT, Claude ou Gemini, qui sont utilisés de manière informelle pour des tâches simples mais efficaces en entreprise. Je parle ici de faire rédiger des emails, d'analyser des documents ou de générer du code.Cette adoption "fantôme" montre que l'IA peut être un vrai moteur de productivité lorsqu'elle est ciblée sur des tâches spécifiques, et ce sans nécessiter une révolution des systèmes.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

Aujourd'hui, on parle de l'impact de ChatGPT sur notre langage quotidien.En effet, une étude américaine révèle que l'usage du chatbot influence directement le vocabulaire humain.Comment ça se passe ?Les mots de ChatGPT se glissent dans notre vocabulaireD'abord, les mots de ChatGPT se glissent dans notre vocabulaire.L'étude montre que des termes comme "approfondir", "stratégique", ou "multifacettes" sont de plus en plus utilisés dans le langage courant. Ce qui est étrange c'est que ces mots sont souvent employés dans des contextes académiques. Et ils sont désormais plus fréquents dans les échanges quotidiens de tout un chacun.Les résultats montrent donc une augmentation de l'utilisation de ces mots, ce qui suggère une fusion entre les choix de mots humains influencés par le lexique des grands modèles de langage.Donc la question à dix mille euros c'est "est-ce que ce sont les utilisateurs qui influencent ChatGPT, ou bien est-ce ChatGPT qui influence notre façon de parler ?"L'influence générationnelle des chatbots d'IAEt bien en réalité tout ceci a à voir avec l'adoption du chatbot et son influence générationnelle.Car l'une des découvertes marquantes de l'étude, c'est l'ampleur de l'adoption de ChatGPT, notamment chez les jeunes adultes. De quoi en faire de véritables chevaux de Troie du vocabulaire de l'IA.Selon le Pew Research Center, plus de la moitié des adultes de moins de 30 ans utilisent l'outil. Et avec une telle utilisation, l'influence de ChatGPT sur leur langage est indéniable. Les mots à la mode véhiculés par l'IA se propagent ainsi très vite.Quels sont les risques de ces évolutions du langageCar si l'IA transforme notre manière de nous exprimer, cela soulève des questions sur l'impact que cela peut avoir sur nos idées et nos valeurs.Les chercheurs s'inquiètent de la façon dont l'usage excessif de certains mots pourrait affecter notre manière de penser, et de l'éventuelle influence de l'IA sur notre communication de manière plus générale.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

Et aujourd'hui, voici une nouvelle forme d'arnaque qui prend de l'ampleur. Il s'agit des faux numéros de service client générés par l'intelligence artificielle.Oui, vous avez bien entendu. Des personnes se sont déjà fait piéger en appelant ce qu'elles pensaient être le service client officiel d'une grande entreprise, mais qui en réalité était un numéro frauduleux proposé par Google AI ou même ChatGPT.Alors, comment ça marche ?De plus en plus de personnes font de plus en plus confiance dans l'IAQuand on cherche un numéro sur Google en mode classique, on voit plusieurs résultats, on compare, on recoupe.Mais avec les nouveaux résumés générés par l'IA, on reçoit une seule réponse présentée comme “la bonne”.Résultat, plus de chances de tomber directement dans le piège sans vérifier.La sophistication des arnaquesCar oui les victimes ne sont pas naïves, mais souvent font face à des escrocs particulièrement malins.Les escrocs ne se contentent pas de décrocher et de demander votre carte bancaire. Ils imitent à la perfection les procédures des vraies entreprises.Et voici un exemple cité par The Washington Post. Un dirigeant pensait appeler Royal Caribbean, et l'arnaqueur connaissait les bons tarifs, la bonne terminologie, et a réussi à obtenir ses coordonnées bancaires avant qu'il ne réalise la supercherie.Tout ceci repose aussi sur une faille techniqueDes experts en cybersécurité expliquent que ces escroqueries reposent parfois sur une technique dite de “prompt injection”. En clair, les pirates manipulent les modèles d'IA pour qu'ils intègrent un faux numéro dans leur réponse. Google et OpenAI assurent travailler sur des correctifs, mais le problème persiste, surtout sur des requêtes rares.La leçon à retenir, c'est qu'il ne faut jamais faire confiance aveuglément à un numéro de téléphone affiché par une IA. Si vous cherchez le service client d'une entreprise, allez directement sur son site officiel ou utilisez une recherche classique pour croiser plusieurs résultats.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

On this episode of Coffee with a Journalist, we're welcoming Allison Murray, newly promoted Senior Editor at ZDNET. Allison shares her journey from staff writer to editor, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how ZDNet has shifted from a B2B focus to covering the latest in consumer technology and disruptive innovation. Listen in as Allison discusses her approach to reviewing quirky, niche tech products—from sunrise alarm clocks to robot litter boxes—and gives publicists insider tips on how to pitch her effectively (spoiler: clear subject lines and bullet points win her over). She also gets candid about inbox management, her pet peeves with off-target pitches, and what it's like balancing a remote journalism career in Chicago. Whether you're a PR pro hoping to land coverage or just curious about life at the forefront of tech journalism, you'll find plenty of practical insights and a few laughs (including the story of a Black Friday casket pitch you won't want to miss). Grab your coffee and enjoy!

This week on Tech News Weekly, host Mikah Sargent is joined by guest co-host Dan Moren to discuss Siri privacy concerns and how Apple could leverage AI to improve the user experience. Jason Hiner of ZDNET.com reports on CES 2025 on the latest TV displays, NVIDIA's AI innovations, and more. Then Imran Ahmed, CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, weighs in on Meta's controversial decision to end fact-checking on its platforms. Dan's latest column explores how Apple could use AI to benefit users by improving spam filtering, search capabilities, and automation. Implementing these features would align with Apple's focus on simplifying technology. Apple released a statement clarifying that Siri recordings are not being used to build ad profiles, despite an ongoing conspiracy theory that devices are always listening. In reality, ad targeting is based on online behavior. At CES 2025, new TV display technologies were announced including brighter OLED panels likely using "tandem OLED" and a new mini-LED backlight system from Hisense for improved color depth. Lenovo showcased an expensive laptop prototype with a screen that rolls up to double in size, though it may have limited practical appeal for now. NVIDIA unveiled COSMOS, an AI framework to generate synthetic training data for robots and self-driving systems, which could accelerate future autonomous innovations. Offbeat CES products included an electric spoon that makes low-sodium foods taste saltier to promote healthier eating, and aggressively priced TVs from TCL. Meta announced it will end fact-checking and rely on community moderation, which CCDH CEO Imran Ahmed argues will amplify the spread of misinformation and cause real-world harms.
