For more than a year, this program has highlighted the hazards that drivers and cyclists face from damaged infrastructure, such as broken road signs and deep potholes. Now, a Swedish firm is equipping cars with cameras and leveraging artificial intelligence to identify these defects before they cause harm. We sit down with the company’s CEO to explain the technology behind the system.

In other news, some experts argue that the current business model of the internet is no longer viable. We discuss potential replacements with a prominent figure in the tech industry. Additionally, we feature a young entrepreneur who taught himself to code without access to a computer; he shares details about an AI-driven educational application designed to function offline.
