Text-based deepfake and disinformation go hand in hand.
Dear Balbir Singh,
The viral outbreak will no doubt claim its toll on companies. But even before the corona struck, SoftBank was going through a rough patch. In a move to rationalise its assets, it has let go of Arm, an intellectual-property firm in the business of licensing technology to semiconductor and systems companies. Chipmaking leader Nvidia is set to acquire it for USD40 billion. What’s the design behind the deal? Find out from our lead story of the day.
TECH
Nvidia’s grand plan to have a chip in every bit of the market
Nvidia is positioning its acquisition of Arm as a shift of its AI expertise from the cloud to edge devices, which means moving from personal computing and cloud data centres to autonomous machines. Considering Nvidia’s GPU and AI capabilities along with Arm’s focus on mobile and edge, USD40 billion doesn’t seem too big a sum for this deal.

AI in the fightback against fake news
Machines can now not only write like humans but also learn and adapt. This further complicates the problem of fake news. Text-based deepfake and disinformation go hand in hand. Their power to cause harm will only rise as they evolve with tech. Is artificial intelligence capable of leading a fightback?
