Election 2024: How will the candidates regulate AI? |
https://www.engadget.com/ai/election-2024-how-will-the-candidates-regulate-ai-133045610.html?src=rss
|
The US presidential election is in its final stretch Before election day on November Engadget is looking at where the candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump stand on the most consequential tech issues of our day While it might not garner the headlines that immigration abortion or inflation do AI is quietly one of the more consequential issues this election season What regulations are put in place and how forcefully those rules are enforced will have wide ranging impacts on consumer privacy intellectual property the media industry and national security Normally politicians lack clear or coherent policies on emerging technologies But somewhat shockingly both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have at least some track record handling artificial intelligence VP Harris in particular has been very hands on in shaping the current administration s approach And Donald Trump was the first president to sign an executive order regarding AI That being said neither has made AI a central component of their campaign and we re making some educated guesses here about how either would approach it once in the White House Kamala HarrisWith Harris considerable involvement in the Biden administration s AI efforts it s safe to assume she would move forward with many of those policies While the White House started laying the groundwork for its AI initiatives in early it wasn t until late that they kicked into high gear and Harris has often been the public face of those efforts including holding numerous press calls on the issue and appearing at the Global Summit on AI Safety in London She has used these venues to draw attention to the potential pitfalls both large and small of AI ranging from cyberattacks at a scale beyond anything we have seen before to seniors being kicked off their healthcare plan because of a faulty AI algorithm October saw the issuance of an executive order on the Safe Secure and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence This order noted the potential for AI to solve broad societal issues as well as its ability to exacerbate societal harms such as fraud discrimination bias and disinformation displace and disempower workers stifle competition and pose risks to national security It laid out eight guiding principles focused on creating standardized evaluations for AI systems protecting workers consumer privacy and combating inherent bias It also called for agencies to name a chief AI officer CAIO and directed the federal government to develop policies and strategies using and regulating AI This included developing technologies for identifying and labeling AI generated content and building guardrails to prevent the creation of images depicting sexual abuse and deepfake pornography Harris helped secure commitments from Apple Amazon Anthropic Google Inflection Meta Microsoft Adobe Cohere IBM NVIDIA Palantir Salesforce Scale AI Stability and OpenAI to work towards the administration s goals She also worked to obtain endorsements from nations of a declaration regarding the responsible creation and use of military AI At this stage the latter is merely a commitment to work together to establish rules and guidelines But there are many absences on that list most notably Russia China and Israel Because the technology is so new however there are still a lot of questions about the specifics of how a Harris administration would handle AI Besides without an act of Congress the White House would be limited in how it could regulate the industry or punish those that run afoul of its policies On the campaign trail Harris hasn t said much new about the issue outside of a brief mention at a Wall Street fundraiser during which she said We will encourage innovative technologies like AI and digital assets while protecting our consumers and investors Harris does have strong ties to Silicon Valley so it remains to be seen just how much she would try to rein in the industry But as of now most of her statements have focused on protecting consumers and workers Donald TrumpDonald Trump holds the distinction of being the first president to sign an executive order regarding AI but his actual public statements on the matter have been limited In February he established the American AI Initiative which created the first national AI research institutes called for doubling the funding of AI research and set forth broad regulatory guidance It also called for the creation of the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Office which would serve as a central hub for coordinating research and policy across the government Unsurprisingly the executive order signed by former President Trump and the policies set forth by his allies have focused more on encouraging private sector growth and limited government oversight The official Republican party platform adopted at the RNC in July called for repealing Biden s October executive order claiming it hinders AI Innovation and imposes Radical Leftwing ideas on the development of this technology It goes on to call for the development of AI rooted in Free Speech and Human Flourishing Unfortunately the RNC platform and Trump don t get much more specific than that So we ll have to look at what the former president s allies at the America First Policy Institute and Heritage Foundation have put forth to get a better idea of how a second Trump presidency might handle AI America First began drafting a document earlier this year that called for launching Manhattan Projects for military AI and for reducing regulations Currently there are limited regulations in place regarding AI as the government is largely in the information gathering stage of policy development Congress has yet to pass any meaningful AI legislation It also called for the creation of industry led agencies tasked with evaluating and securing American artificial intelligence technologies This is in contrast with the Biden administration s executive order which put responsibility for those efforts firmly in the hands of the federal government The Heritage Foundation s Project PDF gets into more specifics though it is worth noting Trump has tried to distance himself somewhat from that document Much of the discourse around AI in the page tome is dedicated to China countering its technological advancements limiting its access to American technology and preventing it from backing joint research projects with American interests especially on college campuses It calls for increasing the use of AI and machine learning in intelligence gathering and analysis while simultaneously calling for a heavier reliance on the private sector to develop and manage the technology The document also spends significant time discussing AI s potential to reduce waste fraud and abuse particularly with regards to Medicare and Medicaid However it makes almost no mention of protecting consumer privacy ensuring the accuracy and fairness of algorithms or identifying abusive or misleading uses of AI beyond combating Chinese propaganda Predictable broad strokesWhile both candidates platforms lack specifics regarding the regulation of artificial intelligence they do lay out two clearly different approaches Kamala Harris has made consumer protections and building guardrails against abuse a cornerstone of her AI policy proposals Donald Trump has predictably focused on reducing regulation Neither has suggested they would try to put the proverbial AI genie back in the bottle not that such a thing would be feasible The big question marks are just how much of the America First Policy Institute or Project proposals a Trump administration would adopt His own official platform mirrors many policy positions of Project While it may not reflect any of its AI proposals specifically there s little reason to believe his approach would differ dramatically on this specific issue This article originally appeared on Engadget at

Kindle Colorsoft review: The missing link in Amazon’s ereader lineup |
https://www.engadget.com/mobile/tablets/kindle-colorsoft-review-the-missing-link-in-amazons-ereader-lineup-131529685.html?src=rss

Well it finally happened After years of waiting and requests Amazon debuted the Kindle Colorsoft its first ereader with a color display The company s ereaders have dominated this space since the original Kindle came out years ago but in this case it feels like Amazon is playing catch up Color E Ink displays aren t novel we ve tested and reviewed a number of color ereaders and E Ink tablets from Kobo Boox and reMarkable in recent years But Amazon is essentially trying to pull an Apple with the Colorsoft with claims that color E Ink technology just wasn t good enough to put into a Kindle until now Amazon s promising the Colorsoft gets this implementation right thanks in part to the custom tweaks it made to the display And unsurprisingly Amazon s ready to charge you a premium for it So is it all it s cracked up to be As you might suspect the answer isn t as simple as yes or no Screen technology and comparisons Let s get the tech details squared away first The Kindle Colorsoft s seven inch screen is based on E Ink Kaleido technology but a representative from the Kindle team explained to me that they developed a custom display stack for this device That means they made quite a few changes to the tech in order to achieve things like higher contrast pigments and improved speeds overall The Colorsoft s custom oxide backplane uses driving volts to move pigments around more quickly and it helps those pigments appear with better contrast Nitride LEDs enhance colors and brightness and a custom coating in between the display s layers helps focus light through each pigment so there s less color mixing Some of the same tech helps make page turns quicker and supposedly reduces excessively noticeable screen refreshing when you go from one color page to another or pinch and zoom on an image That s all to say that Amazon would like you to believe that this E Ink Kaleido screen is not like the other girls in this space and while I do not doubt the Kindle team s efforts the differences are not as dramatic as the story would suggest Until Kobo updates the Sage with color the closest competitor to the Kindle Colorsoft is the Kobo Libra Colour in size platform and overall experience so I did a lot of side by side comparisons of the two The biggest difference I saw was that the Kobo s screen skews warmer than the Kindle s I kicked the brightness up to the maximum and turned all warm natural light settings down to zero on both devices and the difference was noticeable regardless of if the displays were showing color images black and white text or a mix of the two This would suggest that the Kindle will show more accurate colors more often since there s less of a warm lean to its display But on the flip side the Kindle screen s blue tint was just as noticeable particularly in low light situations like a dark office or a dimly lit living room At max brightness with warmth down to zero the Kindle s screen was borderline uncomfortable to read in those environments ーbut all it took was a slight adjustment to warmth level four out of to get it to match the Kobo s display in warmth almost exactly at least to my eyes That made it more comfortable to stare at in dark spaces I also compared the Colorsoft s screen to my personal Kindle Paperwhite previous generation and the blue skew was noticeable there too Ultimately how much warm or cool light you prefer while reading is up to personal taste My preferences would lead me to adjust the warmth on the Kindle to be a bit higher than zero mimicking that of the Kobo In an unscientific poll of the Engadget staff both in person and with device photos everybody preferred the screen on the Kobo I think the slight added warmth in Kobo s screen makes colors appear a bit more saturated and more inviting overall It also gets close to mimicking the look of actual physical pages as much as one of these devices could at least and that s the experience I m going for when I read pretty much anything But I could understand why some hardcore comic fans would want to start off with the most color accurate baseline as possible and then adjust from there to fit their preferences In addition to adjusting the warm light the Kindle Colorsoft has vivid mode which enhances color in less saturated images For the sake of efficacy most of my time was spent in standard mode when testing the Colorsoft But in trying out vivid mode I noticed that its enhanced saturation was most noticeable in warm toned images reds appeared ever so slightly more striking while oranges and yellows had a more bronze effect and the like But I had to turn vivid mode on and off a few times to clock the effect because it s quite subtle Then there s the question of actually reading words on the Colorsoft Even the Kindle team representative I spoke with acknowledged that due to the extra physical layer in the screen that enables color one might notice a bit less sharpness and contrast in black and white text on the Colorsoft s screen That s not unique to this particular Kindle ーevery color ereader will have this issue to some degree When comparing the text only experience of the Kindle Colorsoft to that of the Kobo Libra Colour I found both to be quite good and comparable to one another Where there s a bigger possibility for discrepancies is in a comparison of the Colorsoft to say the new Kindle Paperwhite I did not have the latter device to compare to but I did have my personal previous generation Paperwhite and the difference was ever so slight with the standard Paperwhite having the small upper hand in the contrast and sharpness departments Reading experience Photo by Valentina Palladino Engadget The color screen is the most consequential thing about the Kindle Colorsoft and chances are if you ve had a Kindle in the past the reading experience on this new device will feel quite familiar The Kindle UI hasn t changed much still dividing the main screen into Home and Library options The former is basically a space for Amazon to serve you personalized book recommendations and promote new Kindle releases while the latter shows your entire digital library including books documents Audible audiobooks and library loans The Library page is striking in color and there is something undeniably satisfying about seeing all of your title covers in full color glory While reading a book you can still customize and save different themes with fonts font sizes and page layouts that best suit your preferences You still have the option to quickly navigate within a title by page location chapter and even popular highlights Page turns are speedy and will likely be an improvement for anyone coming from an older Kindle or other ereader Annotations and your own highlights are collected in the same place for easy reference and with the latter you can filter by highlight color as well You have four colors to choose from on the Colorsoft ーorange yellow blue and pink ーso if you use the yellow highlighter to mark favorite quotes you can then filter by just that color Note that all highlighting and note taking must be done with your fingers because unlike the Kindle Scribe the Colorsoft has no stylus support The pinch to zoom feature on the Colorsoft is good for those who read a lot of graphic novels and comics Amazon developed a custom algorithm to make this motion as smooth as possible and it s a pretty good experience albeit not a unique one You can also pinch to zoom on the Kobo Libra Colour which mostly helps get in closer to comic panels to read small text or better see minute details On both devices there are full screen refreshes when you pinch to zoom on color images and the speed of completion is roughly the same I also found image quality to be quite similar as well and it s worth noting that art style can skew your impression of an image s quality A comic that employs clean distinct lines compared to one that s more grungy and watercolor like will always come off more crisp The Colorsoft like the regular Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition also has an auto adjusting front light that promises to illuminate the display just right depending on if you re reading outside on a sunny day in the dark cabin of an airplane or anywhere else It s a nice hardware perk to have and with the feature turned on removes much of manual fiddling that some might find annoying to do when they take their Kindle into different environments The competition Photo by Valentina Palladino Engadget While we already went through the screen comparisons for the Kindle Colorsoft and the Kobo Libra Colour there are plenty of other differences between the two that you should consider when picking your next ereader I ve added a spec list below to break down the basics and the most consequential to me are the fact that the Kobo has page turn buttons and stylus support The former is really a matter of preference ーyou either love physical buttons or you find no use for them ーbut the latter is pure added value even if you do have to purchase the Kobo stylus separately It essentially allows you to turn the Libra Colour into a makeshift Kobo Sage or Kindle Scribe which could be useful for anyone in academia students and educators alike or anyone who just loves the feeling of putting pen to paper Meanwhile the Kindle has the upper hand in its wireless charging capabilities and its slightly cleaner flush front design When it comes to actual content available on Kindle and Kobo devices the libraries you can purchase from on both are vast both have ebooks and audiobooks available and both the Colorsoft and Libra Colour support Bluetooth so you can listen to audiobooks directly from the device with your wireless headphones At the time of writing this review all of the top five New York Times bestseller titles were available on both platforms at the same prices with the only discrepancies being one that was on sale as a Kindle ebook and one that was available to read for free for Kindle Unlimited and Kobo Plus subscribers Both of those monthly subscriptions give you unlimited reading access to thousands of titles but I would give the advantage to Amazon on this one since Kindle Unlimited has been around for much longer Amazon also has Prime Reading and Kids subscriptions that work with Kindle devices and provide even more content to paying subscribers As far as borrowing ebooks from your local library goes it might be a draw Kobo integrates elegantly with Overdrive making it nearly seamless to get borrowed books on your ereader Simply connect your Overdrive account and library card in the settings menu and you can then either browse your library s offerings directly on device or use the Libby mobile app to borrow titles and those will appear automatically on your Kobo My only gripe with this system is that it works best if you have just one library card since you can only connect one at a time I m a unique case where I have at least three library cards and I switch among them in Libby depending on which has the title I m looking for Those like me might prefer the send to Kindle option in Libby which just takes a couple more clicks to get any book from any library network to your Kindle device The biggest downside here is that my Colorsoft review unit did not show all of my library book covers in full color glory on the lock screen After troubleshooting with a representative from Amazon it was determined to be a title specific issue According to Amazon For library books the lock screen is taken from the designated marketing cover for the book used by the library which may not be the same as the actual book cover So just know that if you get most of your reading material from your local library there s a chance some of the covers may not display properly on the Colorsoft I d be remiss if I didn t mention the Boox Go Color which earned a spot in our best ereaders guide after my colleague Amy Skorheim tested it First it s imperative to know that Boox devices require a bit more tech savvy than a Kindle or a Kobo as well as a willingness to experiment They are full blown Android tablets after all and that might be exactly what you re looking for if you get your reading material from many different sources since it offers access to the Google Play Store and all of its apps As for specs the Go Color has a seven inch Kaleido display with ppi in black and white and ppi in color similar to the Colorsoft along with a warm light page turn buttons a splash resistant design and GB of storage and a microSD card slot for more space It s even more similar to the Kobo Libra Colour in feature set and price so it s another option for anyone willing to think a bit outside the standard ereader box The decision between Kindle Kobo and Boox is infinitely more complicated than choosing between the Colorsoft or the standard Kindle Paperwhite ーand that s precisely because of the stark price difference The Colorsoft is more than the regular Kindle Paperwhite more if you pay to remove the lock screen ads from the Paperwhite and more than the Signature Edition and aside from the color panel it only adds wireless charging the auto adjusting front light sensor and doubles the storage Remove color from the equation and arguably the most useful of all of those is the extra storage but make no mistake GB of space on the Kindle Paperwhite is nothing to scoff at and will be just fine for most people Unless you re percent certain that color will make a huge difference in your day to day reading experience the standard Paperwhite is the better value Wrap up Photo by Valentina Palladino Engadget While it s very late to the color E Ink party the Kindle Colorsoft is a solid premium ereader that provides an excellent experience both in color and black and white I focused a lot on comparisons in this review because most people will not have the opportunity to have the Colorsoft and any of its contemporaries side by side unless you re my dad who buys almost every ereader and small tablet under the sun But to be clear the Colorsoft is a good Kindle and in many ways Amazon did pull an Apple here If you re already heavily entrenched in the Kindle ecosystem and have been holding out for a color ereader this is the device to get ーjust be prepared to pay a premium for it Also like Apple and its various operating systems there s something to be said about the convenience and ubiquity of the Kindle ecosystem The library is seemingly endless with discounts galore supplemented by Prime Reading and Kindle Unlimited so it s easy to get sucked in when you re already shopping on Amazon for household goods and holiday gifts But when it comes to value for your money and a pure spec breakdown you can get more from Kobo and Boox devices Kindle isn t the only name in town anymore for ereaders and it hasn t been for a long time and that seems to be a more pronounced fact now with the introduction of the Colorsoft If nothing else Amazon has finally filled a glaring hole in its ereader lineup with this device Amazon Kindle Colorsoft vs

While cooking things like chicken potatoes or veggies I am often simultaneously waxing poetic about the brief period in my life that I owned an air fryer It just makes everything easier while still creating really good quality food Now I m tempted to get back on the air fryer train thanks to a big sale on Ninja s DZ Air Fryer The model is currently available in an early Black Friday deal for down from ーa percent discount nbsp The DZ is a version of one of our top picks for air fryers ーwith the extra perk of including a thermometer The thermometer should provide you with the exact level of cooked you re looking for across the two independent five quart air fryer baskets ーyes you can cook two separate things simultaneously You can also use two different options of the six cooking settings air fryer air broil roast bake dehydrate and reheat nbsp The main issue with this air fryer is size You do not want to get the Ninja DZ Air Fryer if your counter and storage spaces are limited It has a depth of inches and a width of inches so it s going to take up some real estate But hey it s that size that lets you cook two things at once so only you can decide if the trade off is worth it nbsp Follow EngadgetDeals on Twitter and subscribe to the Engadget Deals newsletter for the latest tech deals and buying advice This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
