New 'At-Home' Tech Trials for Stroke Survivors, John Wick Game Unveiled, and Other Top Stories
LONDON - Several significant developments emerged from the news this week, including trials of new technology for stroke survivors, the unveiling of a John Wick video game, and security concerns surrounding an AI coding platform. Additionally, Prince Andrew faced scrutiny over the alleged sharing of a Treasury document, and Heathrow Airport's boss commented on perceived overcrowding.
A new "at home" device is being trialed by the NHS to help stroke survivors regain hand and arm movement, according to BBC Technology. Amanda James-Hammett, who suffered a stroke six years ago, is participating in the trial and stated, "It's about freedom. It's given me my freedom back." The technology is being tested at 19 NHS sites.
In the gaming world, a new "John Wick" game starring Keanu Reeves was unveiled at PlayStation's "State of Play" showcase, as reported by BBC Technology. The game, currently titled "Untitled John Wick Game," is being developed by Saber Interactive and will include input from film franchise director Chad Stahelski. The game is expected to be a prequel to the series.
Meanwhile, a popular AI coding platform called Orchids has been found to have significant cybersecurity flaws, according to BBC Technology. The platform, which allows users to build apps and games using text prompts, was shown to be easily hacked. A BBC reporter's laptop was hijacked as a demonstration of the vulnerability. Experts have raised concerns about the risks of allowing AI bots deep access to computers.
Prince Andrew is facing accusations of sharing a Treasury document with a banking contact, according to BBC Business. Emails published in the Telegraph suggest that in 2010, the then Prince Andrew shared a Treasury briefing on banking problems in Iceland with Jonathan Rowland, a business connection. This has led to further scrutiny of the former prince's use of his public role.
Finally, Heathrow Airport's boss commented on the perception of overcrowding at the airport, as reported by BBC Business. Thomas Woldbye stated that the terminal feels crowded because people are walking in the "wrong place," with British people keeping to the left and Europeans to the right. He added, "And they do that in both directions, so we get everybody crashing into each other."
