Hybrid and remote options continue to shrink across tech sector Image: Amazon, Apple and Meta have also forced staff to return to the office IBM has told its US sales staff to return to the office at least three days each week, forcing some to relocate. The move comes as the company continues to rejig and tighten its workplace policies, with employees expected to work from client sites, flagship offices or sales hubs. Some workers in Dallas have also been informed they will need to relocate to Austin in 2026. According to an internal memo seen by The Register, IBM’s…

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to transform industries across the globe, the EU has taken significant strides to regulate its deployment, use and implementation and to mitigate associated risks. The 2024 AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), presented by the European Commission (EC) as “the first-ever comprehensive legal framework on AI worldwide,” creates a set of risk-based rules regarding specific uses of AI. It came into effect on August 1, 2024, and will be fully enforceable in August 2026. Certain provisions (mostly prohibition on use) took effect in advance, on February 2, 2025. On February 4 and 6, 2025, the European…

Determining how best to incorporate AI in your reporting can be daunting. For journalists and small newsrooms navigating tight deadlines and limited resources, harnessing AI tools to carry out time consuming tasks can be pivotal. For students developing a foundational skill set for future reporting careers, the technology can’t be ignored. Think of AI tools similarly to how you do common applications like Microsoft Excel or Adobe Photoshop: AI can help free up time, which you can in turn dedicate to more in-depth reporting, and more creative writing, visuals and marketing, among other perks. However, a 2024 survey by the…

A survey by Skills.law of what legal AI tools ‘major law firms’ would most recommend has found some very interesting results, with focused solutions generally doing better than ‘genAI convergence’ ones that offer a bit of everything. The survey, which in effect provides a NPS, i.e. net promotor score, looked at just over 40 products offering legal AI – i.e. genAI – capabilities, with users asked to provide a score based on multiple criteria (see below). Around 100 law firms, mostly in the US, UK and Canada, plus a handful of legal tech consultants, had their inputs measured. Here are…

C3.ai (NYSE: AI) stock has been in a tailspin this year as fears related to a recession have been on the rise. A slowdown in spending could result in companies slashing budgets for investments, including artificial intelligence (AI) projects. And for a business such as C3.ai, which provides AI solutions, the worry is that may slow down its growth.Year to date, the stock is now down more than 40% as of Monday’s close. Investors have been aggressively dumping shares of the company. But with much more growth still out there, could now be a good time to buy C3.ai stock,…

These are the most-read DIGITIMES Asia stories from the week of April 14 – April 20.Huawei unveils new AI chip just one day after US bans Nvidia’s H20 exportsJust one day after the US banned exports of Nvidia’s H20 AI chip to China, Huawei launched its Ascend 920 on April 10. Slated for mass production in late 2025, the chip delivers over 900 TFLOPS, 4,000 GB/s bandwidth, and supports HBM3—offering a domestic alternative as China accelerates efforts to localize its AI compute infrastructure.Tariff maze deepens: US duties on Chinese goods up to 245% amid policy whiplashThe Trump administration has issued…

We introduce TAPIP3D, a novel approach for long-term 3D point tracking in monocular RGB and RGB-D videos. TAPIP3D represents videos as camera-stabilized spatio-temporal feature clouds, leveraging depth and camera motion information to lift 2D video features into a 3D world space where camera motion is effectively canceled. TAPIP3D iteratively refines multi-frame 3D motion estimates within this stabilized representation, enabling robust tracking over extended periods. To manage the inherent irregularities of 3D point distributions, we propose a Local Pair Attention mechanism. This 3D contextualization strategy effectively exploits spatial relationships in 3D, forming informative feature neighborhoods for precise 3D trajectory estimation. Our…

Emerging technology, when first being presented to the public-at-large, is bound to get people fearful and protective of the status quo. Such is the current case with AI and its practical application in multiple industries, particularly in the space of visual media arts, but rather than turn away, renowned filmmaker and technological innovator James Cameron is choosing to lean in. Last year, he joined the board of the generative AI company Stability AI and during a recent interview on the “Boz to the Future” podcast, he explained how the tech’s ability to shorten VFX workflow could truly be a game-changer…
