The Tech Stop

4 little bits of Tech, that you might find interesting…

Good morning and happy Tuesday. Welcome to issue 14 of The Tech Stop.

In this Tech Stop: UN fights for AI governance, Google ups app security, hackers aid defences, and Nvidia innovates with robots.

  1. The UN has launched an Independent International Scientific Panel to guide global AI governance, but Silicon Valley has other ideas. More and More…

    POV: Fragmented rules can be a threat to stability and reputation. Align with emerging global AI norms.

  2. Google will require identity verification for all Android sideloaded apps from March 2026, or apps will stop working. More…

    POV: Register developer identity and move all sideloaded distribution to verified channels.

  3. Bug bounty programs recruit ethical hackers to find vulnerabilities before cybercriminals exploit them. A cost-efficient defence in a climate where ransomware attacks, like the new Warlock, are increasing. More and More…

    POV: Implement a bug bounty programme to give early visibility into critical flaws.

  4. Nvidia’s new Jetson AGX Thor "robot brain" affordably delivers autonomous robots, offering potential to automate multiple processes. More and More…

    POV: Evaluate Jetson Thor by prototyping use cases in warehousing, facility automation and logistics.

And just for fun… The Wayback Machine is a search engine of 588 billion web pages covering 25 years of Internet history. But what will the Internet look like in 2046? Try the Wayforward Machine…

That’s it for now, see you same time next week 🥳
