Must-see technology updates
Combing the internet, we have collected today’s most interesting, crucial, and thought-provoking narratives on technology.
1. Deepfakes are resurrecting deceased politicians
Especially in Indonesia where over 200 million voters are about to cast their votes, and also in India, another country on the brink of its general elections.

10. Musk is said to have purchased Twitter due to irritation with a private jet account

“Every country should construct its own ‘sovereign’ AI because it embodies your culture, your society’s knowledge, your common sense, your history – you own your own data.” This strong statement was made by Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, at the World Governments Summit in Dubai, emphasizing the importance of AI.
