Taiwan Is Upping Their National Security To Keep Semiconductor Trade Secrets.

On Thursday, Taiwan’s government proposed a new law to prohibit China from stealing its semiconductor technology, amid growing concerns in Taipei that Beijing is ramping up its economic espionage. a technological powerhouse Taiwan produces the majority of the world’s most advanced semiconductor chips, which are used in everything from fighter jets to cellphones, and the government has long been concerned about Chinese attempts to replicate its success, including through economic espionage, talent poaching, and other means. Taiwan’s government announced that it had proposed new national security law offenses for “economic espionage,” with penalties of up to 12 years in jail for anyone who leak critical technologies to China or “foreign enemy forces.” Using TSMC’s most advanced 2-nanometer chipmaking technology as an example, cabinet spokesperson Lo Ping-cheng stated that under the new law, such technology might be deemed critical to Taiwan’s…

Government-Wide Facial Recognition Software Usage is Under the Microscope.

Following the success of a recent effort to have the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) scrap its facial recognition program, privacy advocates are now targeting other agencies that employ the technology. Public interest groups and legislators from both parties reacted angrily to reports last month that the IRS required people to upload selfies for an identity verification program managed by ID.me. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) called on the IRS to end the program, while Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) sought a blanket prohibition on the IRS collecting biometric data. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) and the Media Alliance have joined the chorus of public interest groups calling for the IRS to abandon its plan. Their advertising was a big hit. The IRS announced on February 7 that it will not utilize a third-party business to use face recognition to authenticate new…

The 4th Industrial Revolutions Impact On Our Lives.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is a way of describing the blurring of boundaries between the physical, digital, and biological worlds. It’s a fusion of advances in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, genetic engineering, quantum computing, and other technologies. It’s the collective force behind many products and services that are fast becoming indispensable to modern life. Things like GPS systems that suggest the fastest route to a destination, voice-activated virtual assistants such as Apple’s Siri, personalized Netflix recommendations, and Facebook’s ability to recognize your face and tag you in a friend’s photo. The person who labeled today’s advances as a new revolution was Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum and author of the book, The Fourth Industrial Revolution. In a 2016 article, Schwab wrote that “like the revolutions that preceded it, the Fourth…

The 4th Industrial Revolution Will Be Fueled By A Bill Gates Backed Mining Project.

Below is a video that should catch you up to speed with the nature of Bluejay Mining’s projects, how technologically advanced they are, and how quickly new tech will be delivered to consumer hands in the near future. It is important to note who is funding this whole operation, which we’ll get to after the video. Billionaires including Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg, Richard Branson, etc. have banded together to purchase 900,000 square kilometers off the coast of west Greenland. Which is one of the last places to be prospected and mined for valuable minerals on earth. Bluejay Mining Co. has partnered with a company called KoBold Metals to revolutionize exploration geoscience. Kobold Metals is bringing Artificial intelligence into the equation to precisely identify ore deposits off the western shelf of Greenland. According to Cambridge University press, researchers have discovered lithium…
