Tu vali empowerment ai giovani visione di Nicola Bellotti

“YOU ARE WORTH IT, YOU’RE NEVER TOO YOUNG TO CHANGE THE WORLD”: Nicola Bellotti’s vision

We often try to explain the hybrid, simultaneous, and contradictory world in which young people live in perpetual connection, but the truth is that as adults, we struggle to understand it. We often wonder how to protect them , less so how to equip them . In short, we’re talking about empowerment , the process that enables them to act autonomously and responsibly, even in the non-linear digital world where they spend most of their lives, between an “online self” and an “offline self.” It’s not just about providing them with technological skills, but above all about developing critical awareness , the

Gemini 3.0 Pro: What people who are trying it say

In recent days, a select few users have reported having access to the new Gemini 3.0 Pro model. Initial impressions suggest a significant improvement over the previous generation, so much so that many are describing it as a real leap forward for Google’s artificial intelligence. Gemini 3.0 Pro appears capable of tackling extremely complex tasks: from programming video games or complete websites to generating functional e-commerce platforms, all from a single command prompt. In some tests, the model even managed to create vector graphics in SVG format with very convincing results. There’s also talk of the system being able to build complex

Microsoft Teams will spy on your boss when you’re out of the office! Location tracking will be rolled out in December.

Microsoft Teams will receive an update in December 2025 that will allow you to track employee locations over your office Wi-Fi network. According to the Microsoft 365 roadmap , “when users connect to their organization’s Wi-Fi, Teams automatically detects their work location, identifying the building they work in.” Apparently, the employee’s location will be automatically updated upon connection. Teams already allows you to specify a work location , such as a large office or campus. This process could likely be automated using Wi-Fi data, such as the IP address, and changing the location depending on the device connected to the system. The

China promotes global AI governance under the United Nations

On October 27, the Blue Hall Forum on the theme of “Improving Global Governance and Building a Community with a Shared Future for Humanity” was held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing. During his opening speech, Wang Yi , a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and Director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission , reiterated a clear and consistent position: artificial intelligence (AI) must be a tool for collective progress , not a privilege reserved for a few countries or a technology to be employed maliciously.

New submarine cables in the Black Sea: Europe seeks digital independence from Russia

Eastern Europe is preparing for a new phase in telecommunications security. An ambitious submarine cable project, called Kardesa , will connect Bulgaria, Georgia, Turkey, and Ukraine without crossing Russian territorial waters, aiming to reduce dependence on Moscow for digital infrastructure. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027 . The new route aims to create a more stable and politically independent data corridor between Europe and Asia . Currently, only one cable connects Georgia and Bulgaria across the Black Sea , while other routes remain vulnerable because they pass near Kremlin-influenced routes. Kardesa intends to change this configuration, offering a more direct and

Gemini 3.0 Pro: Google prepares for the generational leap and aims to surpass GPT-5 and Claude 4.5

Over the past few days, some users have received a notification saying that their Gemini Advanced devices have been “upgraded from the previous generation model to the 3.0 Pro, the smartest model yet.” This suggests that Google may be quietly launching the next-generation model. Based on early testing and leaks, Gemini 3.0 Pro is expected to significantly improve programming, user interface design, and multimodal reasoning capabilities; it could play a key role in Gemini Advanced, Google Workspace (Docs, Gmail, Slides), and Gemini Enterprise Edition. Although the official release date is still unclear (it appears to be December), a lot of information is

OpenAI tightens controls on Sora 2 after criticism for videos featuring famous actors

The continued generation of music videos featuring famous actors being posted without their consent on the Sora 2 platform has once again drawn attention to the problems associated with using neural networks to create digital copies of people . After OpenAI’s service published videos generated by Bryan Cranston , including one with Michael Jackson, the company announced it would tighten controls on the use of celebrities’ images and voices. Cranston himself, the actors’ union SAG-AFTRA, and several major agencies ( United Talent Agency, Creative Artists Agency, and the Association of Talent Agents ) issued a joint statement . They emphasized that OpenAI

Malaysia launches new RM2 billion submarine cable for digital revolution

Malaysia has announced the construction of a new submarine fiber-optic cable system to boost connectivity between the eastern and western parts of the country, aiming to support the growth of its digital economy. The Deputy Minister of Communications said on Sunday, October 12, that the government has approved an investment of RM2 billion to build the project, called the Chang Ming Submarine Cable System . The initiative is part of the government’s Madani Submarine Cable Connection (SALAM) program, which aims to improve the national network infrastructure. The system, approximately 3,190 kilometres long, will connect East and West Malaysia, providing increased data transmission

Chrome for Android: From a “wall of text” to a podcast is a short step.

Google has added a new AI-powered feature to Chrome for Android for reading web pages. Instead of reading the entire text aloud, the browser can summarize the material in a “podcast” format : two synthesized speakers discuss key points, turning a long article into a short, lively audio. Early users noticed the new feature in the stable build of Chrome 140.0.7339.124, so it looks like the feature is gradually rolling out to a wider audience. You can enable voiceover the same way: open a page, click the three dots in the upper right corner, and select “Listen to this page.” A new

Removing private data from AI models? Now you can without accessing the original datasets.

A team from the University of California, Riverside, has demonstrated a new way to remove private and copyrighted data from AI models without accessing the original datasets. The solution addresses the problem of personal and paid content being reproduced almost verbatim in responses, even when the sources are removed or locked behind passwords and paywalls. The approach is called “source-free certified unlearning.” A surrogate set that is statistically similar to the original is used. The model parameters are modified as if it were retrained from scratch. Carefully calculated random noise is introduced to ensure cancellation. The method features a novel noise calibration
