While politicians tout AI’s promise of growth and efficiency, a new report reveals a public trust deficit in the technology. Many are deeply sceptical, creating a major headache for governments’ plans.A deep dive by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) and Ipsos has put some hard numbers on this feeling of unease. It turns out that a lack of trust is the biggest single reason people are shying away from using generative AI. It’s not just a vague worry; it’s a genuine barrier holding back the AI revolution politicians are so excited about.Public trust in AI increases with…

Meet VoXtream: An Open-Sourced Full-Stream Zero-Shot TTS Model for Real-Time Use that Begins Speaking from the First Word
Real-time agents, live dubbing, and simultaneous translation die by a thousand milliseconds. Most “streaming” TTS (Text to Speech) stacks still wait for a chunk of text before they emit sound, so the human hears a beat of silence before the voice starts. VoXtream—released by KTH’s Speech, Music and Hearing group—attacks this head-on: it begins speaking after the first word, outputs audio in 80 ms frames, and reports 102 ms first-packet latency (FPL) on a modern GPU (with PyTorch compile). What exactly is “full-stream” TTS and how is it different from “output streaming”? Output-streaming systems decode speech in chunks but still…
The following is a guest post and opinion from Jill Ford, Founder of Bitford Digital.The DOJ’s seizure of roughly $1 million tied to BlackSuit ransomware is more than just a win against cybercrime.

The fluctuations in the crypto market price further increase the anxiety that people have for holding coins rise, which wait. An ever greater number of investors are starting to seek safer, more sustainable ways to participate. With its easy access and low barrier to entry, this is how cloud mining gradually came into the sight of users. Although during its early phase individual mining was amply rewarding, exorbitant equipment costs together with the amount of electricity needed to run these machines and regulations that are becoming more strict each day make it an increasingly unsustainable method for individuals. By contrast,…
