#1. Intelligence artificielle : Emmanuel Macron annonce des investissements supplémentaires de l’Etat
Le président a promis 400 millions d’euros supplémentaires pour financer la formation de spécialistes de l’intelligence artificielle à travers neuf pôles d’excellence.
Des mesures pour transformer la France en une championne de l’intelligence artificielle. Fonds d’investissement, crédits supplémentaires pour la formation, mission “d’acculturation” des Français, le président de la République a annoncé mardi 21 mai une série de mesures sur cette thématique lors d’un rassemblement d’acteurs du secteur réunis à l’Elysée, à la veille de l’ouverture du salon VivaTech à Paris.

#2. What will we eat on the Moon? The food is literally out of this world
The Moon may be the final frontier for mankind, but what will we eat when we get there? Pasta and protein bars made out of thin air are just the beginning.
Space fever is approaching at warp speed. In the next two years, Nasa plans to send astronauts back to the Moon via its Artemis programme; the International Space Station (ISS), designed to orbit for 15 years but now hitting its 26th year in space, will soon be replaced; and scientists are looking seriously into the possibility of manned deep space missions. Add to that a proliferation of tourism projects rocketing deep-pocketed individuals up to the edge of space and it begs one question for a food writer like me: what will we eat when we get there?

#3. ‘I was misidentified as shoplifter by facial recognition tech’
Sara needed some chocolate – she had had one of those days – so wandered into a Home Bargains store.
“Within less than a minute, I’m approached by a store worker who comes up to me and says, ‘You’re a thief, you need to leave the store’.”
Sara – who wants to remain anonymous – was wrongly accused after being flagged by a facial-recognition system called Facewatch.
She says after her bag was searched she was led out of the shop, and told she was banned from all stores using the technology.

#4. Virtual reality games helping UK’s deaf children to understand speech
Scientists have found that immersing kids in computer games can train their brains to localise sounds better
Scientists have recruited an unusual ally in their efforts to help children overcome profound deafness. They are using computer games to boost the children’s ability to localise sounds and understand speech.
The project is known as Bears – for Both Ears – and it is aimed at youngsters who have been given twin cochlea implants because they were born with little or no hearing.

#5. Comment les femmes de la tech peuvent changer le cours de l’histoire
Dans un livre qui paraît ce 22 mai, « Athlètes de l’innovation », Delphine Remy-Boutang brosse le portrait de 34 entrepreneures de la tech. Son message : ne pas laisser aux hommes le monopole de l’invention du monde de demain
Connaissez-vous Barbara Belvisi, Arielle Kitio Tsamo, Fanny Moizant, Zineb Agoumi ou Lalée Pinoncély ? Ce sont 5 des 34 entrepreneures dont Delphine Remy-Boutang brosse le portrait dans un livre publié ce 22 mai, Athlètes de l’innovation – les femmes à la conquête de la tech (Flammarion). A près de deux mois de l’ouverture des Jeux Olympiques, la fondatrice de la JFD (Journée de la femme digitale) file la métaphore en comparant le parcours de ces créatrices de start-up à celui des sportives qui prendront le départ dans les stades parisiens, à partir du 26 juillet. Et à juste titre : les qualités requises, dans un cas comme dans l’autre, sont tout aussi exigeantes.

#6. Samsung has a brilliant response to Apple’s hated ‘Crush’ ad
“Creativity cannot be crushed.” Touché, Samsung.
It’s not often that Samsung one-ups Apple in its marketing campaigns, but the South Korean company has done just that with its latest ad, “Uncrush.”
Earlier this month, Apple unveiled the long-awaited new iPad Pros, which feature OLED displays and the M4 chipset. They are also the thinnest devices that Apple has ever made. To show off that thinness, Apple released a new ad called “Crush.” The ad showed an industrial compressor smashing things like a guitar, piano, paint, sculptures, and more. When the compressor retracts at the end of the ad, only an iPad Pro is left in place of the destroyed creative tools.

#7. The US government is trying to break up Live Nation-Ticketmaster
The US Justice Department and 30 state and district attorneys general have filed an antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster and its parent company, Live Nation Entertainment, alleging that it has a monopoly in the live ticketing industry that enables it to illegally suppress competition.
“It is time to break up Live Nation-Ticketmaster,” US Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement announcing the lawsuit.
