Ireland just made space history with its first satellite successfully completing its mission and de-orbiting as we speak. We find out more about some of the serious science it pulled off including gamma-ray burst detection and advanced satellite control systems that would make Nasa jealous.
Elsewhere, we discover why Google’s latest multi million dollar privacy slap actually matters to you and we dig as far as we can into a spyware story involving the Garda Siochana and an Israeli spy firm.
Plus, researchers from Dublin City University, Dawood University in Pakistan, and Munster Technological University are working on an AI content moderation tool designed to protect children from grooming online. We get the lowdown on Project EdgeAIGuard and the three new agentic LLMs it uses with DCU Project Lead Dr Sunder Ali Khowaja.
