A road map for continued U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence was revealed Monday in a 756-page report released by a national commission.
Two years in the making, the report by the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence made a number of recommendations to make the United States a leader in the AI age. Those include:
Formation of a Technology Competitiveness Council to build a strategy that accounts for the complex security, economic, and scientific challenges of AI and its associated technologies
Establishment of Digital Service Academy and civilian National Reserve to grow tech talent with the same seriousness of purpose by which military officers are developed

A team of scientists and engineers has invented a cryogenic computer chip capable of functioning at temperatures near absolute zero, which could enable a new crop of high performance quantum computers capable of performing calculations with thousands of qubits, or more. Quantum computers, up to now, could only accommodate a few dozen qubits. That s why the new cryo chip is such a breakthrough.

A new mobile processor announced by Qualcomm Technologies Monday is expected to spawn a wave of economically priced 5G smartphones.
Phones with the Snapdragon 480 5G Mobile Platform will be in the $125 to $250 price range, Qualcomm President Cristiano R. Amon predicted on Twitter in September.
Great question. We expect to see prices ranging from $125 to $250 USD. Lots of phones . In China, 5G price points can already address 60% of the market. With the new Snapdragon 4 in Q121, the transition from 4G to 5G will significantly accelerate globally. The 400 series is designed for phones that go into low-priced markets outside the U.S. China, India, places where price sensitivity is a bigger issue, explained Bob O Donnell, founder and chief analyst with Technalysis Research, a technology market research and consulting firm in Foster City, Calif.

A cyber intruder broke into the computer network of the water treatment system of a Florida city and attempted to poison it with lye.
News of the attack was made public Monday by officials of Oldsmar, who revealed the attack was foiled by an operator at the facility within minutes of its launch.
After gaining access to the city s water system through software used by employees for remote network access, the intruder increased the levels of sodium hydroxide in the system from 100 parts per million to 11,000 parts per million.
Sodium hydroxide, commonly known as lye, is the main ingredient in liquid drain cleaners. In the water system, it s used in small amounts to control the acidity of the city s drinking water.
