Galaxy Z Fold 5 design leak shows market leader Samsung finally catching up to the competition

Samsung paints itself as the dominant player in the foldable niche, and for a good reason. The Korean giant is a key player in the space.

Big Tech is surprisingly bad at catching, labeling, and removing harmful content. In theory, new advances in AI should improve our ability to do that. In practice, AI isn’t very good at interpreting nuance and context. And most automated content moderation systems were trained with English data, meaning they don’t function well with other languages.The recent emergence of generative AI and large language models like ChatGPT means that content moderation is likely to become even harder.  Whether generative AI ends up…
