Alan Turing built AI to save lives. Now we're regulating it to death
In the early 1940s Alan Turing, based in Bletchley Park in England, was tasked with breaking the Enigma code, used by the German navy to locate their submarine fleet.
Turing conceded that the finest human brain could not break the daily resets of the code in less than 20 years – a far cry from the urgent needs of the British armed forces that it be broken in less than 24 hours. So Turing created the first model of a general-purpose computer – Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science – to overcome the limitations of the human brain to perform a vital task.

Denis Villeneuve to direct new James Bond film
The next instalment of cinema's iconic British superspy James Bond will be directed by Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, Amazon MGM studios has announced. The four-time Academy Award nominee has earned both critical acclaim and box office success with the Dune franchise, as well as with Prisoners, Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival. In a statement, Villeneuve described himself as a "die-hard" James Bond fan. "Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr No with Sean Connery," he said. " To me, he's sacred territory. I intend to honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. "This is a massive responsibility, but also incredibly exciting for me and a huge honour." Villeneuve will also serve as executive producer, alongside his wife Tanya Lapointe. It marks the latest step in a major overhaul of the Bond franchise, following Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson handing over creative control to Amazon MGM Studios as part of a lucrative deal. Under the terms of the agreement, the Broccoli family, long the force behind the Bond films, agreed to co-own the intellectual property and granted Amazon the ability to move forward without their creative approval. In March, Spider-Man's Amy Pascal and Harry Potter's David Heyman were announced as new producers. Mike Hopkins, head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, said he was "honoured" to have the acclaimed director on board. "He is a cinematic master, whose filmography speaks for itself. From Blade Runner 2049 to Arrival to the Dune films, he has delivered compelling worlds, dynamic visuals, complex characters, and-most importantly-the immersive storytelling that global audiences yearn to experience in theatres," he said. "James Bond is in the hands of one of today's greatest filmmakers and we cannot wait to get started on 007's next adventure."

Apple's takeover of in-car screens hits stumbling block
Apple's plans to have its new CarPlay Ultra system, which is displayed across multiple screens and was set to be used by multiple automakers, has reportedly hit a hurdle. Originally revealed in 2022, then previewed in Aston Martin and Porsche renders in 2023, but not due to arrive in production vehicles from the former until this year, Apple CarPlay Ultra was set to feature in Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Polestar, Renault and Volvo vehicles. But according to the Financial Times, via Ars Technica, none of these automakers intend to offer the new system in their vehicles. A Renault executive reportedly went so far as to tell Apple: "Don't try to invade our own systems". Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. These brands were among the 16 set to use the system, the others being Acura, Honda, Infiniti, Jaguar, Land Rover and Nissan. Hyundai, Kia and Genesis subsequently announced they would launch Apple CarPlay Ultra too. Porsche has confirmed it still plans to offer the system, but the German automaker offered no timeline for its rollout. Jaguar and Land Rover are reportedly still evaluating it, while Ford, Infiniti and Nissan said they had no information to share with the Financial Times. Rather than simply appear on the central infotainment system, CarPlay Ultra appears across other screens where fitted in a vehicle, such as the digital instrument cluster. In addition to the usual Apple apps available in-car, it allows users to control vehicle functions like the radio and climate control via Apple's interface. There are also customisable colour palettes and wallpapers, and widgets that can be added to any screen. Automakers may be avoiding the system so they can develop their own, and in turn generate more vehicle data as well as revenue from in-car services – even if developing their own systems comes at an expense, and as buyers become increasingly demanding when it comes to in-car tech. General Motors has gone so far as to drop even regular Apple CarPlay from its latest electric vehicles (EVs), including the new Cadillac Optiq (pictured above) and Vistiq. A survey conducted by McKinsey in 2023 found almost half of car buyers wouldn't choose a vehicle that lacked Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, while 85 per cent of car owners who have Apple CarPlay or a similar service preferred it over an automaker's built-in system. Apple claims 98 per cent of new cars in the US come with its standard CarPlay system, though notable contrarians include Tesla, Rivian and some GM models.
