Ford is warning of a buffer overflow vulnerability in its SYNC3 infotainment system used in many Ford and Lincoln vehicles, which could allow remote code execution, but says that vehicle driving safety isn't impacted. 

In the wake of WormGPT, a ChatGPT clone trained on malware-focused data, a new generative artificial intelligence hacking tool called FraudGPT has emerged, and at least another one is under development that is allegedly based on Google's AI experiment, Bard. 

Generative AI is transforming the way we work, but fears that it will destroy the economy are overblown.

Artificial intelligence will augment work and could add more opportunities to the job market rather than tank it, according to tech executive Gali Arnon. While some fear that AI will erase huge numbers of roles, Arnon argues that AI will accelerate the pace of job creation, augment work, and accelerate startup opportunities. 

 Google, Wolfram Alpha, and ChatGPT all interact with users via a single-line text entry field and provide text results. Google returns search results, a list of web pages and articles that will (hopefully) provide information related to the search queries. Wolfram Alpha generally provides answers that are mathematical and data analysis-related.

Here's an early look at StandBy mode, AirDrop upgrades, Live Voicemail and more

Generative AI-powered features will improve the job posting, search, and hiring processes for HR pros and job applicants alike, the company says.

LastPass password manager users have been experiencing significant login issues starting early May after being prompted to reset their authenticator apps. 

The dubbing feature will allow users to hear videos in their native language. Here's how it'll work.

ChatGPT users should be wary that their personal data might've been leaked online, following the dump of more than 100,000 ChatGPT account credentials on the dark web. As reported by The Hacker News and according to Singapore-based cybersecurity company Group-IB, the credentials for users that logged into ChatGPT ranges from its launch (in June 2022) through May 2023, meaning that it's still an ongoing event. The U.S., France, Morocco, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Brazil seem to have contributed the most users towards the stolen credentials. 

A team of researchers with the New York State University (NYU) has done the seemingly impossible: they've successfully designed a semiconductor chip with no hardware definition language. Using only plain English - and the definitions and examples within it that can define and describe a semiconductor processor - the team showcased what human ingenuity, curiosity, and baseline knowledge can do when aided by the AI prowess of ChatGPT. 

 The Google Pixel 8's release is still several months away, but there's been a steady stream of rumors about the handset's improvements these past few weeks, including a next-gen Tensor G3 chip and camera upgrades. Now, display specs for the Pixel 8 line have leaked, showing off a brighter — if slightly smaller — screen finally sporting a refresh rate that can compete with the best smartphones on the market.

Google has announced that it's planning to roll out several new features and updates to Google Maps, some of which are powered by AI-like algorithms.

This is potentially a big deal because millions of people (myself included) use Google Maps every month, so even a minor change will have a big impact. And by the look of them, these changes don't seem so minor.

Microsoft has released an optional fix to address a Kernel information disclosure vulnerability affecting systems running multiple Windows versions, including the latest Windows 10, Windows Server, and Windows 11 releases. 

 Multiple editions of Windows 10 21H2 have reached their end of service (EOS) in this month's Patch Tuesday, as Microsoft reminded customers today.

The smoothness of the eye-tracking interface, the quality of the displays, and the three-dimensional photos and videos are its standout features.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, speaking at the opening keynote of the Computex computer technology conference, on Monday in Taipei, Taiwan, unveiled a host of fresh products, including a new kind of ethernet switch dedicated to moving high volumes of data for artificial intelligence (AI) tasks.
