Remote Kill Switches, AI Regulation, Autonomous Trucks, Light-Based Chips, and Distant Black Hole Merger

In this episode of Discover Daily, we explore the implementation of remote kill switches in advanced chip-making machines by ASML and TSMC to prevent sophisticated technologies from falling into the wrong hands in the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. We also discuss the European Union's approval of the world's first comprehensive legal framework for AI, known as the AI Act, which aims to regulate AI technologies based on their potential risks and impacts, ensuring the development of saf...
