Global AI adoption—Europe is only a bystander in the US-China AI race

AI adoption has reached a critical inflection point globally. However, progress is highly uneven across regions, creating distinct divides that reflect cultural attitudes and regulatory frameworks. Europe, in particular, is showing worrying signs of stagnation. It is no secret that the Old Continent is far behind the US and China. However, did you know that AI adoption in businesses in the EU is even lower than in Africa? This technological surrender is accelerating Europe's decline in both economic competitiveness and political influence.

Выпуск Rust 1.90. Инструментарий для создания Windows-драйверов на Rust

Опубликован релиз языка программирования Rust 1.90, основанного проектом Mozilla, но ныне развиваемого под покровительством независимой некоммерческой организации Rust Foundation. Язык сфокусирован на безопасной работе с памятью и предоставляет средства для достижения высокого параллелизма выполнения заданий, при этом обходясь без использования сборщика мусора и runtime (runtime сводится к базовой инициализации и сопровождению стандартной библиотеки).

Google Chrome is Now an AI Browser

If a lack of glittery AI baubles in your preferred web browser has you feeling like a luddite, fear ye not: Google has announced a new AI browser — one you may have heard of: Chrome.

For Google, that means “moving from […]
