Meta is making a pitch to get its AI into the UKs public health system. The Guardian reported on Tuesday that the company held a hackathon in Europe, tasking over 200 developers to use its Llama AI to improve the countrys health services. The company awarded funds for developing AI that shortens wait times in Britains A&E rooms (ERs in the US). The UKs AI minister, Feryal Clark, told The Guardian that the government can adopt AI, such as Metas open-source model, to support our key missions. Earlier this month, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave the green light for Llama to work with the US government. Bloomberg reported on the same day that the company was also working with governments and contractors in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and as we can see movement toward now the UK. Given that Britains use of the open-source AI model wouldnt provide a direct or immediate financial pipeline back to the company, The Guardian asked Metas president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, what was in it for Meta. It is in the long run indirectly in our interest to see this ecosystem of Llama-based innovation because it then makes it much easier for us to reincorporate innovations that are out there into our own products, Clegg, a former UK deputy prime minister, said. Mark Zuckerberg said in August that Llama was approaching 350 million downloads, which he credited to the AI models open-source nature. Clegg sounded dismissive perhaps mockingly so of fears surrounding AI infiltrating governments. Who knows, maybe AI will start developing a mind of its own and will start wanting to turn us into paper clips by next Tuesday, he told The Guardian. But I think that right now, the technology is way more primitive than a lot of the fears suggest. To be fair to critics, right now is less of a concern than later. The UK AI minister Clark told The Guardian that the government wouldnt shy away from the significant risk AI represents. Instead, it would make sure that any regulation we introduce is proportionate, supports innovation and does not place undue burden on business.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/meta-wants-its-llama-ai-in-britains-public-healthcare-system-174119281.html?src=rss

We know that theres been a Squid Game-inspired video game in the works since July. Now, Netflix is announcing Squid Game: Unleashed and dropping a trailer on YouTube. The game will be available on Netflix starting December 17. The multiplayer party royale (think Mario Party) will be available for everyone with a Netflix subscription, and you can pre-register now to get an exclusive skin when the game launches. The games cartoony art style may be eye-catching, but the gameplay will be violent. Fortunately, its not excessive, and there doesnt seem to be any blood. While Netflix has made mobile spinoff titles based on famous franchises or exclusive shows for years now, it did try to branch out into AAA games. Sadly, it shut down its AAA studio, Team Blue, last month. Whether the streaming giant still has ambitions for bigger games remains to be seen. You can play Squid Game: Unleashed on Android and iOS after logging in with your Netflix account credentials. If youre interested in more Netflix games, Monument Valley 3 is a great one. Its a beautiful puzzle game and can be enjoyed without playing the previous two titles in the series. We also have a list of our favorite Netflix games if these two arent enough. These include popular dungeon crawler roguelike Hades, GTA San Andreas and Terra Nil, a peaceful strategy game.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/squid-game-for-your-phone-arrives-on-december-17-170018220.html?src=rss

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is one of the most twisted, trippy, satisfying and deeply complex puzzle games to hit the market in years, and it's heading to a new platform. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes will debut on PlayStation 4 and PS5 on December 3, joining the game's existing versions on PC and Switch. PlayStation players, prepare yourselves for mind-bending riddles in a lonely hotel that exists outside of time. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes comes from Swedish indie studio Simogo, which previously made Device 6, Year Walk and Sayonara Wild Hearts. Simogo is helmed by its two co-founders, Simon Flesser and Magnus Gordon Gardebäck, though they collaborate with other creators on each new project. Lorelei is published by Annapurna Interactive. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes presents a dramatic mystery in a grayscale world shot through with red accents, glitching and bright like the player is watching everything play out on an old surveillance feed. Most of its puzzles require mind-numbing amounts of logic and deduction, though others are solvable by pure instinct, and both types are incredibly gratifying. At the same time, a current of quiet terror underpins every scene: The hotel grounds are filled with maze-faced phantoms, the remnants of unhinged artists, memories of death and ghostly children with owl faces. Simogo knows how to make a puzzle game that David Lynch would love. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is one of the most innovative titles of 2024, and it's nominated in the Best Independent Game category at this year's Game Awards, alongside Animal Well, Balatro, Neva and UFO 50. That's an absolutely stacked category and Lorelei certainly deserves to be there.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/playstation/lorelei-and-the-laser-eyes-makes-its-way-to-ps4-and-ps5-on-december-3-170013561.html?src=rss
