Taiwanese electric bike brand Gogoro has been making waves in the electric mobility sector since it was founded in 2011. One of the brand’s biggest innovations is its battery-swapping system, which allows users to easily swap out their depleted battery for a fully charged one at a network of convenient stations. This system has helped to address the issue of limited range that often plagues electric vehicles, and has helped to make Gogoro’s scooters a popular choice for commuters in Taiwan and other Asian markets.

At the 2023 Seoul Mobility Show, Gogoro showcased some of its most popular models, as well as a few new ones that are worth mentioning. The EV-C1, in particular, stood out due to its maxi-scooter styling and longer range. This model is likely to appeal to Korean consumers who are looking for a more powerful and capable electric scooter, and could help to further expand Gogoro’s presence in the country.

In recent years, Gogoro has been expanding its reach outside of Taiwan, with a particular focus on other Asian markets. The brand’s strategy has been to partner with local companies in each market, in order to better understand the needs and preferences of consumers in each country. This approach has proven successful so far, with partnerships formed in Singapore, India, the Philippines, and now, Korea.

One of the advantages of Gogoro’s battery-swapping system is that it can be easily adapted for use in different types of vehicles, including motorcycles and cars. This opens up a range of possibilities for the brand, and could help it to further differentiate itself from other players in the electric mobility sector.

Apr 2, 2023

Artificial intelligence is becoming more and more important every day. The situation is so critical that even Google, a long-standing leader in Silicon Valley, is at risk of its future. ChatGPT has even managed to outdo most search engines and make many websites unnecessary (NOT Gizmochina) . However, the technology giant is aware of the danger and is taking steps to address it. According to recent reports, the company is restructuring its virtual assistant unit to focus on its AI chatbot, Bard. Here are the details…

Google restructures virtual assistant team to focus more on Bard

Google is restructuring its virtual assistant team to Bard. This move was announced by Sissie Hsiao, the vice president and lead of Google Assistant’s business unit. One of the primary reasons behind this reshuffling is the company’s focus on Bard. This AI chatbot is Google’s answer to ChatGPT, and the company has big plans for its development. To achieve this goal, it is enlisting the help of its virtual assistant unit.

The company wants to integrate Bard into all of its products, including Nest smart speakers, Pixel phones, and Android Auto. This suggests that Google may have significant plans for Bard and Google Assistant in the future. As part of the reshuffling, Jianchang Mao, vice president of engineering for Google Assistant, who reported directly to Hsiao, is leaving the company for “personal reasons”.

He will be replaced by Peeyush Ranjan, the former vice president of Google’s commerce organization. Meanwhile, Amar Subramanya, Google Assistant engineering vice president, is now leading the engineering efforts for the Bard team. Trevor Strohman, who was previously in charge of leading these engineering efforts, will continue as an “Area Tech Lead” for Bard.

The restructuring and increased focus on Bard underscore the growing importance of AI and chatbots in today’s technology landscape. As Google continues to push the boundaries of AI, it is clear that the company sees Bard as a key part of its future.

Google Bard Gets a Major Upgrade to Compete with ChatGPT and GPT-4

Apr 2, 2023

Artificial Intelligence is becoming more and more popular on the internet, and we hear about new AI advancements almost every day. However, most of the news we hear about AI developments is related to ChatGPT. This might come as a surprise to some, as even trillion-dollar tech companies are still lagging behind OpenAI when it comes to AI technology. However, Google is now looking to change this. The CEO Sundar Pichai recently announced that they will be upgrading Bard AI to more capable models next week. Here are the details…

Bard AI will be upgraded to more capable models next week, reveals Google CEO

Google unveiled their AI chatbot named Bard a while ago, which was supposed to compete with ChatGPT. However, the chatbot gave an wrong response which was an embarrassing moment for the company. This caused a loss of $100 billion in market value for the tech giant. In response to critiques of Bard’s failed demo in February, the CEO of Google has recently addressed the issue.

CEO Sundar Pichai “assured” listeners in an interview for The New York Times’ Hard Fork podcast on Friday that Bard would soon be upgraded to a more capable Pathways Language Model (PaLM). Pichai explained that PaLM is a more current language model that is larger in scale and better suited to handle tasks such as logical reasoning and coding issues. Bard is currently operating on a lightweight and efficient version of LaMDA. The upgrade to PaLM will bring more capabilities, such as better math problem-solving and reasoning skills.

Pichai acknowledged that the company’s conservative approach to AI development had contributed to Bard’s limitations. He revealed that he had discussed the project with Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin and that it was important not to release a more capable model before they could handle it well. Despite the setbacks, Pichai is optimistic about the future of AI and its potential benefits. However, he also emphasized the importance of anticipating the risks associated with AI’s rapid growth and evolving to meet those challenges.

Bard was released to the general public in the U.S. and U.K. on March 21 but has failed to generate as much attention as Microsoft’s Bing AI chatbot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT. With the upcoming upgrade, Google hopes to catch up to its rivals in the AI chatbot space.

Apr 2, 2023

Huawei’s CEO, Richard Yu, recently revealed at the China EV100 Forum that Huawei’s failure rate is only a fraction of Apple’s, marking a significant turnaround for the company’s quality management system. When Yu first took over the business, Huawei’s failure rate was much higher than Apple’s, but the situation has now reversed.

Huawei’s continuous investment in research and development, amounting to 25.1% of their annual revenue in 2022, has enabled the company to achieve high-quality smartphones and a better consumer experience. The company’s focus on quality and consumers has been emphasized by Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group, who stated that quality is the highest priority for Huawei, above cost and profit.

The latest flagship devices from Huawei, the P60 series and Mate X3 foldable phone, are a testament to the company’s commitment to providing the best customer user experience. These devices come with HarmonyOS-powered software, providing a bug-free and smoother user experience.

In contrast, Apple’s recent releases have been plagued by bugs that have disrupted iOS, highlighting the challenges of adding new features to smartphones. While Apple may be low-key in its innovations, it is crucial for the company to address these bugs to maintain its market position.

Overall, Huawei’s success in improving its failure rate and providing a better customer experience demonstrates the importance of continuous improvement and investment in research and development. As the smartphone market continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how companies like Huawei and Apple adapt and innovate to meet future challenges.

Italy Bans ChatGPT Over Privacy Concerns

By

-

Apr 2, 2023

The ban on ChatGPT in Italy has raised concerns over data privacy and the regulation of AI technology. ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot developed by OpenAI, has become increasingly popular worldwide since its launch in November 2022. The chatbot’s impressive abilities have been utilized by users for various purposes, including writing essays, generating ideas for video content, and composing poetry. However, the ban in Italy marks the first time that a country has taken action against the use of an AI chatbot.

The Italian government’s data protection authority has accused OpenAI of unlawfully collecting personal data from users and failing to have adequate age-verification measures in place to prevent minors from being exposed to illicit material. The ban comes after a data breach was reported on March 20, which OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged. The ban has prompted OpenAI to provide additional information and possible remedies before the Italian government makes a final decision on the future of ChatGPT in the country.

We of course defer to the Italian government and have ceased offering ChatGPT in Italy (though we think we are following all privacy laws).

Italy is one of my favorite countries and I look forward to visiting again soon!
— Sam Altman (@sama) March 31, 2023

The ban in Italy has caused concern among ChatGPT users and the wider tech community. As AI technology continues to advance and become more integrated into our daily lives, it is likely that more countries will implement stricter regulations to ensure the protection of user data and privacy. OpenAI’s response to the ban highlights the need for AI regulation, which has been a topic of discussion among tech experts for some time.

In a recent interview with podcast host Lex Friedman, Sam Altman talked about the possibility of AI replacing some human jobs, including customer service. He acknowledged that he was worried about how quickly this change would come, but also stated that human creativity is limitless and we find new jobs to do eventually.

The ban on ChatGPT in Italy serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting user data and privacy in the age of AI. As AI technology continues to evolve, it is essential that governments and tech companies work together to develop ethical and responsible practices that ensure the safe and secure use of AI technology.

OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite Roundup: Specs, Pricing, and everything else

By

Anurag

-

Apr 2, 2023

The first Nord smartphone debuted in 2020 and if you keep up with the industry, you might remember the kind of hype OnePlus built around it. The PR team was clearly doing overtime, and truth be told, the smartphone largely lived up to the hype. After the original Nord, the company launched a bunch of other phones in the series— some were pretty great, while others not so much.

Soon, the Chinese company will be launching another Nord-branded smartphone, called OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite. It is scheduled to debut on April 4 and is expected to target the lower mid-range segment with decent specifications. OnePlus has been teasing the handset extensively and there’s a considerable amount of information available out there. So, here we have gathered everything about the upcoming OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite.

Design and Display

OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G (well, the name is indeed a mouthful) will debut with a pretty standard design. The phone will have a slightly curved back panel featuring two rings positioned at the top right corner. One of the rings will contain the primary camera, while the other will house the depth and macro shooters. OnePlus has been teasing the phone in a striking pastel lime color, but there might be other color options as well.

The front is business as usual. You get a flat display with a punch-hole cutout on the top center. There are thin bezels on the sides. However, the chin is comparatively thicker. All in all, the Nord CE 3 Lite looks premium for an entry-level smartphone.

As per the company, the smartphone’s display will measure 6.72 inches and offer a 120Hz refresh rate. It is currently unclear whether the handset will feature an AMOLED panel, as it is equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint reader which suggests otherwise. In any case, the Nord CE 3 lite’s display is considerably better than its predecessor, which debuted with a 6.52-inch panel supporting only a 90Hz refresh rate.

Specifications

As mentioned, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite will arrive as a mid-range smartphone and sit right below the higher-end Nord phones. OnePlus markets the phone as a gaming device, but its processor suggests that it may not be entirely performance-oriented and instead, geared toward everyday tasks. In any case, it should still be capable of handling most tasks efficiently.

The Snapdragon 695 SoC on the smartphone will be paired with 8GB of RAM plus up to 8 extra gigs of virtual RAM, along with 128GB storage. To remind you, this is the same processor as the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite and features an octa-core architecture with a fast cluster of two cores with up to 2.2 GHz. The smartphone will be powered by a 5,000mAh battery and will support 67W charging, which is significantly faster than what most phones in this segment offer.

According to reports, the device will receive two years of major OS updates and three years of security updates, which is consistent with what other manufacturers typically provide, with the exception of Samsung. The Korean company offers a minimum of three major updates even for its budget-friendly phones.

For photography, the Nord CE 3 Lite will feature a triple camera unit, headlined by a 108MP primary camera with support for optical image stabilization (OIS). This is a first for a Nord-branded smartphone. OnePlus says the main sensor will offer 3x lossless zoom. It will be accompanied by a 2MP macro lens and a 2MP depth shooter on the back. The handset may feature a 16MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.

Expected Pricing

As per a report, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite will be available in a sole 8GB + 128GB memory configuration in India, with an MRP (Maximum Retail Price) of ₹27,999. However, it is widely known that products are not sold at MRP in India, so the actual cost is likely to be lower, possibly below ₹25,000. Despite this, the device will still be more expensive than its predecessor, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite.
