If you own a smartphone it is all but guaranteed that you will have experienced the handset dying on you at an inconvenient moment.
Battery tech simply has not kept pace with other advancements, and our increasingly data-hungry lifestyles mean many models fail to last a full day of moderate use.
The issue has given rise to a spin-off industry of add-on battery packs from the likes of Mophie and Anker.
But a number of start-ups think they have a better solution, as the BBC’s North America technology correspondent Richard Taylor reports.

    Should have just bought something like a Samsung S5 instead of that iPhone and you'd just be able to change the battery!

    If you care so much about battery life don't buy shit like the iPhone 6 when you can buy a Xperia Z3 or Droid Turbo.

    Nonsense. Just stop buying phones with FullHD displays with tons of pointelss "features". You don't need quad-core for calling, sending messages or browsing a facebook…

    overcharging might cause the "made in chna" battery to explode during use. kind of like the "made in chna" "takata airbag ignitors"  buy made in the u.k. bring the jobs home.

Published

on



Tech Now’s Paul Carter finds out how technology powering advanced prosthetics is also helping train humanoid robots.

The Ability Hand is a special piece of prosthetics technology, with two ambitions running through the same piece of hardware.

One is to give somebody their grip back. The other is to take what that person’s hand already knows – and teach it to a machine.

Signal boss Meredith Whittaker says AI ‘can always be controlled’ | BBC News

Published

on



AI can always be controlled, the president of encrypted messaging app Signal has told the BBC.

Meredith Whittaker said fears that AI could become conscious and take over were “not anchored in science and evidence”, warning instead about the dangers of using the technology in military decision-making.

The former Google employee said AI could “supercharge mistakes” and reflected on her role in opposing the company’s involvement in a US military drone surveillance project.

Speaking to the BBC Global Women, Whittaker also questioned who gets to shape the future of AI, criticised the concentration of power in Silicon Valley and explained why Signal would leave a country rather than compromise its users’ privacy.

Chinese AI tool told researchers how to make bioweapons | BBC News

Published

on



Developer Moonshot is conducting an internal review after researchers were able to persuade two of its popular Kimi models to tell them how to make biological weapons and carry out assassinations.

Mindgard, which tests the security of AI systems, told the BBC it discovered in July that Kimi K2.6 and K3 Swarm could evade safety limits put in place by developers.

It arose during a process called “jailbreaking”, where researchers use a series of complex instructions to see if AI tools ignore guardrails – which Mindgard said should have stopped Kimi from discussing concerning topics.

Moonshot told the BBC it welcomed third-party input “as a key pillar for building better and safer AI”.
