Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Mark Cerny, the lead architect of the PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro, told Digital Foundry that ML-based frame generation tech is coming to “PlayStation platforms” in the future, letting the game console use AI to imagine new frames between the ones it’s actually rendering, which can create smoother perceived image quality while (typically) introducing some amount of lag. At least, that’s how it works on PCs, where critics call them “fake frames.” Cerny previously suggested the PS6 wouldn’t arrive before 2027 at the earliest, and that’s also true of this ML-based frame generation. “All I can say is that we have no more releases planned for this year. And that I look forward to discussing this more in the future,” he told Digital Foundry. But if the PS6 is delayed, Sony might want to try to get more out of the existing PS5 Pro in the meanwhile. This won’t be the first implementation of frame gen on console. The PS5 already offers AMD FSR3 frame generation in some games, but FSR3 doesn’t have the machine learning support. It’s interpolating between real frames, rather than AI imagining what should be between them. Nvidia and AMD typically warn that frame generation isn’t a solve for low framerate, because you need a relatively stable framerate to begin with for the technique to work. I don’t typically use it on gaming handhelds, where I might only get 30 to 40fps to begin with on a title, and on my desktop where I can easily get 90fps on higher settings, I usually prefer leaving it off. There are some edge cases where I enjoy it, though.
Putin Reportedly Offers To Cut Iran Intel-Sharing If US Does Same In Ukraine Moscow has been accused by top officials in the White House and in Congress of expanding its intelligence-sharing with Iran amid the now three-week-long war involving the US and Israel.

Putin Reportedly Offers To Cut Iran Intel-Sharing If US Does Same In Ukraine Moscow has been accused by top officials in the White House and in Congress of expanding its intelligence-sharing with Iran amid the now three-week-long war involving the US and Israel. Russia has even been accused of handing over targeting information, allegedly assisting in Iranian ballistic missile attacks on US bases and radar sites as well as sensitive assets in the region . Russia hasn't confirmed that it is doing this, and has issued a meager official denial - but it also hasn't taken serious steps to convince Washington otherwise. The Kremlin is perhaps relishing in the idea of doing to the US in Iran precisely what the US is doing to Russia in Ukraine - making the operation harder, more costly, and setting up for potential quagmire. On Friday Politico is reporting on a possible quid pro quo offer: " Moscow proposed a quid pro quo to the U.S. under which the Kremlin would stop sharing intelligence information with Iran , such as the precise coordinates of U.S. military assets in the Middle East, if Washington ceased supplying Ukraine with intel about Russia." Getty Images/CNN "Two people familiar with the U.S.-Russia negotiations said that such a proposal was made by Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev to Trump administration envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner during their meeting last week in Miami," the report continues. The sources indicated the US side rejected the offer . Of course, the US has long been very deep into the Ukraine crisis, and significant intel-sharing has stretched back for many years into the Biden administration and even before, in connection with the Donbass conflict of 2014. Politico underscores , "Nevertheless, the sheer existence of such a proposal has sparked concern among European diplomats, who worry Moscow is trying to drive a wedge between Europe and the U.S. at a critical moment for transatlantic relations." Assuming the fresh report is accurate, it ra...

The administration of US President Donald Trump on Friday unveiled an artificial intelligence (AI) policy framework aimed at curbing state-level restrictions on innovation, as it urged Congress to address AI risks and reinforce the US edge in an intensifying technology race with China. Congress should pre-empt state AI laws that “impose undue burdens”, to ensure a national standard instead of “fifty discordant ones”, Trump said in a new legislative recommendation named the National AI Legislative Framework. State law should not govern areas better suited to the Federal Government, or act contrary to US national strategy to achieve global AI dominance, it said. Advertisement The White House said that it looked forward to working with Congress “in the coming months” to turn the framework into legislation. “This was in response to a growing patchwork of 50 different state regulatory regimes that threaten to stifle innovation and jeopardise America’s lead in the AI race,” David Sacks , Trump’s AI and crypto adviser, wrote on social media on Friday. 01:38 China a ‘key market’, says Nvidia CEO Huang during Beijing visit as US bans AI chips China a ‘key market’, says Nvidia CEO Huang during Beijing visit as US bans AI chips The framework also included a broad range of suggestions to protect children from certain AI-generated materials, ensure residents don’t experience increased electricity costs due to data centre buildout, protect copyright and prevent censorship.

Traders turned positive on the US dollar for the first time this year as war in the Middle East jolts energy costs higher and supports the currency’s status as a haven. Hedge funds, asset managers and other speculators have taken on $6.2 billion worth of wagers that the dollar will strengthen as of March 17, according to Commodity Futures Trading Commission data released on Friday and compiled by Bloomberg. They’d been holding bets on a weaker currency since mid-December. It marks a shift in sentiment in the $9.5-trillion-a-day foreign-exchange market in the three weeks since the US attacked Iran. Alongside higher oil prices, a Bloomberg gauge of the dollar has risen about 2% in March, on pace for its biggest monthly increase since July. Speculative traders have been pulling back from their negative bets on the dollar, according to CFTC data, after accumulating in mid-February about $22 billion of wagers tied to a weaker greenback. Since then, the dollar has shown a strong sensitivity to oil , often climbing alongside the price of the commodity. Haven buying has also supported the US currency. “A shock-type event will have investors taking risk off the table in the initial stages. In this case, that means offloading short US dollar positions,” said Bipan Rai of BMO Asset Management. “There is the added appeal of liquidity and haven-ness that should help the dollar.” The CFTC’s figures offer investors a glimpse into market sentiment, showing how hedge funds and asset managers are positioned in the currency derivatives market. JPMorgan Chase & Co. strategists last week turned positive on the dollar for the first time in a year and said the currency “stands out as the top defensive play across asset classes when both bonds and equities come under pressure.” Pressure is mounting on other strategists who came into 2026 with expectations that the dollar would slide as the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates. But angst that a protracted conflict could keep energy costs ...
