AI can now find real names using only posts and web search, study shows

AI can identify people behind anonymous or pseudonymous online accounts by analysing public posts and combining web searches with inference, researchers found. A paper published in February described an automated process of extraction, search, inference and calibration. In tests on 338 Hacker News users, the system correctly identified 226, with 67 percent recall and about 90 percent precision. Researchers said costs were about $1 to $4 per profile and under $2,000 overall, but results do not mean all anonymous accounts can be identified.

Volkswagen, BYD target long range as Tesla Roadster set for Oct. 1 reveal

Competition in the electric vehicle industry is heating up again around long-range driving, ultra-fast charging and advanced autonomous driving. Volkswagen highlighted a long-range EV concept targeting up to 1,000 miles by maximising efficiency rather than increasing battery capacity. BYD unveiled an electric semi-truck with about 600 km range that supports 1.5-megawatt “flash charging”. Tesla again set a Roadster reveal for Oct. 1, as questions persist over delays and real-world autonomous driving performance.

Zurich airport starts Level 4 driverless shuttle service

Zurich airport has begun operating Level 4 autonomous electric shuttle buses without a driver or onboard safety officer. The vehicles run inside the airport while a remote control center monitors operations in real time. The airport is using two WeRide electric robobuses and calls it an early European airport case of adopting such Level 4 vehicles in real operations. Initial trials run without passengers and will continue through year-end.
