Samsung’s Galaxy S20 series is made up of some pretty great smartphones, but like any other smartphone, they launched with a handful of unfortunate bugs. Now, we’re getting some details on what the next Galaxy S20 update might contain.
According to Max Weinbach — who had an excellent track record leading up to the S20’s official launch — Samsung has a few main areas of focus for the…

Researchers detail TrojAI, a framework for hardening AI models against adversarial attacks
