When it comes to film, it was Tim Burton's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice<\/strong><\/em><\/a> that people searched the most this year. Other notable cinematic searches this year include It Ends With Us<\/em>, Inside Out 2<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, Dune: Part Two<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and Deadpool & Wolverine<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Emmy-award-winning series Baby Reindeer<\/strong><\/a> led searches in the world of television, while the headline grabbing Oasis reunion<\/strong><\/a> dominated music searches. The band were followed by Sabrina Carpenter<\/strong><\/a>, One Direction, Dave Grohl and RAYE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n On the sports front, athletes Luke Littler, Lamine Yamal and Simone Biles were the most searched names.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, the race for the White House dominated searches when it came to the question \u201cWhen is...\u201d, followed by the budget and the Euros final, while UK Googlers asked the question \u201cHow to vote in the UK?\u201d the most. This was closely followed by \u201cHow to get Oasis tickets?\u201d and \u201cHow to watch Fury vs Usyk?\u201d.<\/p>\n Across the pond, the US presidential election unsurprisingly dominated the charts, with the most-searched term closely followed by searches for Donald Trump, whose\u00a0re-election has been the subject of intense buzz and debate<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n It\u2019s not all doom and gloom though, as the New York Times\u2019 word game Connections was also one of the most searched terms on Google this year. \u00a0<\/p>\n The most searched people in the US were mostly presidential nominees and their running mates. Trump claimed the top spot, followed by Kamala Harris<\/strong><\/a>, JD Vance and President Biden<\/strong><\/a>. The Princess of Wales was close though, and was one of the most Googled people this year.<\/p>\n The most searched performers included Katt Williams and his controversial appearance on Shannon Sharpe's\u00a0Club Shay Shay\u00a0podcast, Jacob Elordi (Priscilla<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and Saltburn<\/strong><\/em><\/a>), Glen Powell (Twisters<\/strong><\/em><\/a>) and Jeremy Allen White (The Bear<\/strong><\/a>). \u00a0<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the most-searched musician of 2024 in the US was Usher, whose Super Bowl halftime performance and Vegas residency catapulted the R&B icon back into the limelight. Sean \"Diddy\" Combs also dominated searches due to the\u00a0music industry-shaking allegations of sexual misconduct<\/strong><\/a>. Kendrick Lamar and Drake also rank high on the list, with their ongoing rap beef<\/strong><\/a> making waves.<\/p>\n Finally, US Googlers were very curious about the \u201cburnt toast theory\u201d, which went viral online in 2024. The metaphorical concept suggests that small and seemingly negative events can lead to positive outcomes. A whimsical butterfly effect, if you will. \u00a0<\/p>\n Other top searches reflected the generational struggle to keep up, including defining the \u201cdemure\u201d trend<\/strong><\/a> and decoding Gen Alpha slang terms, with the standout question in the US being \u201cWhy do kids say sigma?\".<\/p>\n In case you were wondering, sigma is a term from a hierarchy for males - apparently humbler than Alpha and referring to someone who is successful and good looking.<\/p>\n Keep it sigma and demure, apparently.

shares fell as China opened a probe into the tech giant on suspicions of violation of the country's anti-monopoly law. The investigation followed the Biden administration's fresh restrictions on AI chip export to China, announced a week ago, marking an escalation of the trade war between the two countries.\u00a0\n\nChina's State Administration for Market Regulation announced on Monday that it had officially launched an investigation into Nvidia regarding its acquisition of Mellanox Technologies Ltd, an Israeli technology firm, four years ago. The acquisition has been approved by Beijing subject to a number of conditions. The Administration said Nvidia is suspected of violating these commitments made as part of the approval process.\u00a0\n\nIn 2020, Nvidia acquired Mellanox Technologies Ltd for $7bn (\u20ac6.6bn) to enhance its data centrer's capabilities. Mellanox specialised in networking technology, and Nvidia stated that the merger would enrich the \"ecosystem of partiers\" in the AI field. In a condition made with the Chinese government, Mellanox would need to share information with rivals of new products within 90 days before release.\u00a0\n\nEscalating tech trade war between the US and China\n\nOn 2 December, the US announced new export restrictions to curb China's ability to develop the most advanced AI technology, citing \"national security\" concerns. The new rules targeted 140 additional Chinese companies that produce critical chips to supply China's tech industry with \"self-efficiency\".\n\nChina condemned the US decision, accusing it of \"generalising the concept of national security, abusing export control measures, and implementing unilateral bullying\",\u00a0and vowed to \"take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its own rights and interests\".\u00a0\n\nThe next day, Beijing imposed an export ban on several critical metals and minerals, all essentials in making semiconductors and other high-tech devices, to the US. The Ministry of Commerce said the country will no longer ship Gallium, germanium, antimony, and superhard materials to America.\u00a0\n\nThe Nvidia probe is considered a further escalation in the mounting trade tensions between the two countries. With Trump's hardcore stance on tariffs, the ongoing China-US trade war may negatively impact the AI chip maker's market valuation going forward.\u00a0\n\nNvidia shares slid\n\nNvidia's shares fell 2.6% on Monday, weighing on the broad semiconductor sector. The European chip equipment maker, ASML's stocks slipped 0.38%. Despite this, Nvidia remains the world's second-largest company with a market cap of $3.4tn (\u20ac3.2tn). Its shares are up 188% year-to-date.\u00a0\n\nIn the third quarter, Nvidia again blew out market expectations with another record data center sales figure, up 112% from a year ago. However, the company also raised concerns about capacity constraints, causing its share price to fall 2% on the day.\u00a0\n\nNvidia's chip sales in China have been negatively affected by the US export restrictions since 2023. However, the company has been consistently tailoring its chip design to the Chinese markets to get around the regulatory hurdles. China sales accounted for approximately 12% of Nvidia's total revenue in the latest quarter, up from a single-digit percentage at the start of this year.\u00a0\n\n","htmlText":" Nvidia's shares fell as China opened a probe into the tech giant on suspicions of violation of the country's anti-monopoly law.

Police said they found three pages of documents when they arrested Mangione that showed \"ill will towards corporate America\" including a sentence that read: \"I do apologise for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done\".<\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1733811788,"updatedAt":1733834053,"publishedAt":1733815079,"firstPublishedAt":1733815079,"lastPublishedAt":1733834053,"expiresAt":0,"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/90\/08\/46\/{{w}}x{{h}}_cmsv2_c56d249b-0d1e-5543-b03b-8e20bf9dc14f-8900846.jpg","altText":"This

American appeals court upheld a law that requires the Chinese company ByteDance to divest from TikTok by next year or face a ban in the United States.\n\nA three-judge panel on The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled unanimously on Friday that the law withstood constitutional scrutiny, rebuffing arguments from the two companies that the statute violated their rights and the rights of TikTok users in the US.\n\nThis is what happened in the ruling and what could happen next:\n\nWhat does the ruling say?\n\nTikTok and ByteDance, who were also plaintiffs in the case, challenged the law on various fronts.\n\nThey argued in part that the statute ran afoul of the First Amendment and was an unconstitutional bill of attainder that unfairly targeted the two companies.\n\nBut the court sided with attorneys for the Justice Department who said that the government was attempting to address national security concerns and the way in which it chose to do so did not violate the constitution.\n\nWhat happens next?\n\nTikTok and ByteDance are expected to appeal the case to the Supreme Court, but it is unclear whether the court will take up the case.\n\nTikTok indicated in a statement on Friday the two companies are preparing to take their case there, saying the Supreme Court has \u201can established historical record of protecting Americans\u2019 right to free speech\".\n\n\"We expect they will do just that on this important constitutional issue,\u201d a company spokesperson said.\n\nAlan Morrison, a professor at The George Washington University Law School, said he expects the Supreme Court to take up the case because of the novelty of the issues raised in the lawsuit.\n\nIf that happens, attorneys for the two companies still have to convince the court to grant them an emergency stay that will prevent the government from enforcing the January 19 divestiture deadline stipulated in the law, Morrison said.\n\nSuch a move could drag out the process until the Justices decide.\n\nWhat about Trump?\n\nAnother wild card is President-elect Donald Trump, who tried to ban TikTok during his first term but said during the recent presidential campaign that he is now against such action.\n\nThe Trump transition team has not offered details on how Trump plans to carry out his pledge to \u201csave TikTok\".\n\nBut spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a statement last month that he plans to \u201cdeliver\u201d on his campaign promises.\n\nAfter Trump takes office on January 20th, it would fall on his Justice Department to enforce the law and punish any potential violators. Penalties would apply to any app stores that would violate a prohibition on TikTok and to internet hosting services which would be barred from supporting it.\n\nSome have speculated that Trump could ask his Justice Department to abstain from enforcing the law.\n\nBut tech companies like Apple and Google, which offer TikTok's app on their app stores, would then have to trust that the administration would not come after them for any violations.\n\n","htmlText":" An American appeals court upheld a law that requires the Chinese company ByteDance to divest from TikTok by next year or face a ban in the United States.<\/p>\n A three-judge panel on The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled unanimously on Friday that the law withstood constitutional scrutiny, rebuffing arguments from the two companies that the statute violated their rights and the rights of TikTok users in the US.<\/p>\n This is what happened in the ruling and what could happen next:<\/p>\n TikTok and ByteDance, who were also plaintiffs in the case, challenged the law on various fronts.<\/p>\n They argued in part that the statute ran afoul of the First Amendment and was an unconstitutional bill of attainder that unfairly targeted the two companies.<\/p>\n But the court sided with attorneys for the Justice Department who said that the government was attempting to address national security concerns and the way in which it chose to do so did not violate the constitution.<\/p>\n TikTok and ByteDance are expected to appeal the case to the Supreme Court, but it is unclear whether the court will take up the case.<\/p>\n TikTok indicated in a statement on Friday the two companies are preparing to take their case there, saying the Supreme Court has \u201can established historical record of protecting Americans\u2019 right to free speech\".<\/p>\n \"We expect they will do just that on this important constitutional issue,\u201d a company spokesperson said.<\/p>\n Alan Morrison, a professor at The George Washington University Law School, said he expects the Supreme Court to take up the case because of the novelty of the issues raised in the lawsuit.<\/p>\n If that happens, attorneys for the two companies still have to convince the court to grant them an emergency stay that will prevent the government from enforcing the January 19 divestiture deadline stipulated in the law, Morrison said.<\/p>\n Such a move could drag out the process until the Justices decide.<\/p>\n Another wild card is President-elect Donald Trump, who tried to ban TikTok during his first term but said during the recent presidential campaign that he is now against such action.<\/p>\n The Trump transition team has not offered details on how Trump plans to carry out his pledge to \u201csave TikTok\".<\/p>\n But spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a statement last month that he plans to \u201cdeliver\u201d on his campaign promises.<\/p>\n After Trump takes office on January 20th, it would fall on his Justice Department to enforce the law and punish any potential violators.

being a factor in picking an official to oversee Boeing's compliance with the agreement.\n\nThe ruling creates uncertainty around criminal prosecution of the aerospace giant in connection with the

Prosecutors said they did not have evidence to argue that Boeing's deception played a role in the crashes.\n\nIn his ruling, O'Connor focused on part of the agreement that called for an independent monitor to oversee Boeing\u2019s steps to prevent violation of anti-fraud laws during three years of probation.\n\nO\u2019Connor expressed particular concern that the agreement \"requires the parties to consider race when hiring the independent monitor \u2026 \u2018in keeping with the (Justice) Department\u2019s commitment to diversity and inclusion.\"\n\nSelection needs to be based solely on competency\n\nThe judge wrote in Thursday's ruling that he was \"not convinced \u2026 the Government will not choose a monitor without race-based considerations.\"\n\nHe wrote: \"In a case of this magnitude, it is in the utmost interest of justice that the public is confident this monitor selection is done based solely on competency. The parties' DEI efforts only serve to undermine this confidence in the government and Boeing\u2019s ethics and anti-fraud efforts. \n\nTodd Haugh, a business law and ethics expert at Indiana University, could not recall any previous corporate plea deals that were rejected over DEI. He said the larger issue was how the deal took sentencing power away from the court.\n\n\"That is a legitimate argument from which to reject a plea agreement, but this particular judge has really stood on this DEI issue,\" Haugh said. \"It comes through loud and clear in the order.\"\n\nBoeing negotiated the plea deal only after the Justice Department determined this year that Boeing violated a 2021 agreement that had protected it against criminal prosecution on the same fraud-conspiracy charge.\n\nThe case is just one of many challenges facing Boeing, which has lost more than $23bn (\u20ac22bn) since 2019 and fallen behind Airbus in selling and delivering new planes.\n\nThe company went through a strike by factory workers that shut down most airplane production for seven weeks this autumn and announced it wil lay off 10% of its workers, about 17,000 people. \n\nIts shares have plunged about 40% in less than a year.\n\n","htmlText":" A federal judge on Thursday rejected a deal that would have let Boeing plead guiltyto a felony conspiracy charge and pay a fine for misleading US regulators about the 737 Max jetliner before two of the planes crashed, killing 346 people.<\/p>\n US District Judge Reed O'Conner in Texas said that diversity, inclusion and equity or\u00a0DEU policies in the government and at Boeing could result in race being a factor in picking an official to oversee Boeing's compliance with the agreement.<\/p>\n The ruling creates uncertainty around criminal prosecution of the aerospace giant in connection with the development of its bestselling airline plane.\u00a0<\/p>\n The judge gave\u00a0Boeing and the Justice Department 30 days to tell him how they plan to proceed.

Prosecutors said they did not have evidence to argue that Boeing's deception played a role in the crashes.<\/p>\n In his ruling, O'Connor focused on part of the agreement that called for an independent monitor to oversee Boeing\u2019s steps to prevent violation of anti-fraud laws during three years of probation.<\/p>\n O\u2019Connor expressed particular concern that the agreement \"requires the parties to consider race when hiring the independent monitor \u2026 \u2018in keeping with the (Justice) Department\u2019s commitment to diversity and inclusion.\"<\/p>\n The judge wrote in Thursday's ruling that he was \"not convinced \u2026 the Government will not choose a monitor without race-based considerations.\"<\/p>\n He wrote: \"In a case of this magnitude, it is in the utmost interest of justice that the public is confident this monitor selection is done based solely on competency. The parties' DEI efforts only serve to undermine this confidence in the government and Boeing\u2019s ethics and anti-fraud efforts. <\/p>\n Todd Haugh, a business law and ethics expert at Indiana University, could not recall any previous corporate plea deals that were rejected over DEI. He said the larger issue was how the deal took sentencing power away from the court.<\/p>\n \"That is a legitimate argument from which to reject a plea agreement, but this particular judge has really stood on this DEI issue,\" Haugh said. \"It comes through loud and clear in the order.\"<\/p>\n Boeing negotiated the plea deal only after the Justice Department determined this year that Boeing violated a 2021 agreement that had protected it against criminal prosecution on the same fraud-conspiracy charge.<\/p>\n The case is just one of many challenges facing Boeing, which has lost more than $23bn (\u20ac22bn) since 2019 and fallen behind Airbus in selling and delivering new planes.<\/p>\n The company went through a strike by factory workers that shut down most airplane production for seven weeks this autumn and announced it wil lay off 10% of its workers, about 17,000 people. <\/p>\n Its shares have plunged about 40% in less than a year.<\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1733441017,"updatedAt":1733480768,"publishedAt":1733444367,"firstPublishedAt":1733444367,"lastPublishedAt":1733444514,"expiresAt":0,"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/89\/36\/86\/{{w}}x{{h}}_cmsv2_d65f8aaf-7f0f-5d39-8545-9981f8b9332c-8893686.jpg","altText":"Debris is carried at the scene of an Ethiopian Airlines flight crash near Bishoftu, south of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in March 2019","caption":"Debris is carried at the scene of an Ethiopian Airlines flight crash near Bishoftu, south of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in March 2019","captionUrl":null,"captionCredit":"Ellen M.

He also wants to put AI in place throughout the US government.\u00a0\n\nIn reality, what could a second Trump administration mean for AI development in the US? Euronews Next breaks it down as a clearer picture of his future presidency emerges\u00a0\n\nRepealing Biden\u2019s AI executive order\n\nPresident Biden\u2019s 2023 executive order served two purposes, according to Andrew Strait, associate director of the UK\u2019s Ada Lovelace Institute, an AI think tank.\u00a0\n\nThe first was to create a set framework for how the technology would be used when it comes to national security.\u00a0\n\nThe other was to encourage a \"set of strategies\" and a \"roadmap\" for how the US government might address how AI algorithms could impact people\u2019s access to government supports, such as welfare, housing, healthcare, or education, Strait continued.\n\nIf Trump decides to get rid of Biden\u2019s executive order, he will have to do away with the whole thing and possibly reintroduce parts of it in his own version, according to Susan Ariel Aaronson, a research professor of International Affairs at George Brown University in Canada.\n\nIn 2020, Trump signed an executive order that defined trustworthy AI, making sure the models are valid, accountable, transparent, and reliable, Aaronson said.\u00a0\n\nThe executive order also released what it claims was the world\u2019s first AI regulatory guidance.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\"Many of these [Trump] building blocks cannot be achieved without some form of AI or business regulation,\" she said.\u00a0\n\nTrump could also see some pushback for repealing Biden\u2019s executive order from other tech companies because it \"provided clarity regarding the use of AI and its development,\" Aaronson continued.\u00a0\n\nFuture of AI risk research could be in jeopardy\n\nOne of the key creations under Biden\u2019s executive order was the US AI Safety Institute, an independent research body studying the risks associated with AI and how to safely adopt it, according to Strait.\u00a0\n\nThe US AI Safety Institute is responsible for \"advancing research and measurement science for AI safety,\" according to its strategic vision.\u00a0\n\nIn the last few months, the Institute pushed all of the major companies to make statements about how they are evaluating AI risks and to disclose the types of frameworks they are adopting, Strait continued.\u00a0\n\nThe body also started doing pre-release testing with AI companies to figure out whether a system is or is not safe.\u00a0\n\nFor example, the institute works with Big Tech to see whether their AI models generate racist or toxic content, and measure how often AI chatbots \"hallucinate\" or make up misleading answers to questions they don\u2019t know the answers to, Strait continued.\u00a0\n\nIf Trump axes Biden\u2019s executive order, there are other US allies with AI Safety Institutes, like Canada, the UK, and Australia, that could take on the research gap that the US closure could have, Strait continued.\u00a0\n\nPresident Biden could still protect the AI Safety Institute by asking Congress to entrench it in legislation before the end of his mandate, Aaronson said, but she does not know whether he will do so.\u00a0\n\nEuronews Next reached out to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the government branch that houses the US AI Safety Institute, for their reaction to the recent US election results but said they \"could not speculate on the matter\".\u00a0\n\nInfluence of Trump\u2019s inner circle (de)regulation\n\nTrump is also surrounding himself with people with different positions on AI regulation, Strait said.\u00a0\n\nOne high profile Trump supporter is billionaire Elon Musk, who is a strong proponent for regulating AI to address the potentially catastrophic risks of the new technology.\u00a0\n\nMusk has already been tapped by Trump to co-lead a new \"Department of Government Efficiency\" (DOGE) that will significantly cut down government spending, according to a Wall Street Journal opinion piece Musk co-authored.\u00a0\n\nMusk also supported California\u2019s Bill 1047, which would have created a \"duty of care\" for developers so they mitigate these types of catastrophic risks, like systems that could become uncontrollable. The bill was ultimately defeated by governor Gavin Newsom\u2019s veto in September.\u00a0\n\nMusk\u2019s co-lead on DOGE, Vivek Ramaswamy, also asks for more regulation around AI.\u00a0\n\n\"Just like you can't dump your chemicals, if you're a chemical company, in somebody else's river, well if you're developing an AI algorithm today that has a negative impact on other people, you bear the liability for it,\" Ramaswamy, a former Republican presidential candidate, told a televised debate in Iowa last year.\u00a0\n\nOn the anti-regulation side is Vice-President-Elect JD Vance, who spent just under five years as a venture capitalist and biotech executive in Silicon Valley.\n\nVance told a Senate committee in July that companies are too focused on regulating AI because of the threats the technology poses. These regulations could make it harder for new companies to innovate, he continued.\u00a0\n\nMarc Andreessen, the head of influential Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), is also anti-AI regulation.\u00a0\n\nAndreessen in his 'Techno-Optimist Manifesto' last year that \"regulatory capture\" is the enemy.\n\n","htmlText":" Throughout his 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump didn\u2019t say much about his plans for the artificial intelligence (AI) industry in the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Republican Party platform\u2019s only commitment on AI was to repeal a Biden-era executive order<\/strong><\/a> because it \"hinders AI innovation,\" and \"imposes radical left-wing ideas on the development of this technology\".\u00a0<\/p>\n Otherwise, Trump\u2019s incoming administration says it will support \"AI development rooted in free speech and human flourishing\".<\/p>\n\n
