Leading eye-tracking company Tobii has some ideas about why this is the next great leap for immersive tech.

After years of hype and a bumpy first year of launches, carrier 5G networks are here and, most importantly, 5G-compatible phones like the iPhone 12 and Pixel 5. (Samsung’s next expected flagship phone, the Galaxy S21, will likely feature 5G too.) The technology is supposed to change your life with its revolutionary speed and responsiveness. But before we get into that, it’s important to understand what it is, when and how it will affect you, and how to distinguish between (the still growing) hype and the reality.

In 2019, CNET held a massive speed test of 5G networks around the world, spanning from Chicago to London to Sydney to Seoul. The results were a mix of ludicrous speeds, but limited range and spotty coverage. Conversely, you would see wider coverage with a modest bump in speed. You also saw devices like the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G roll out. The early generation of 5G phones boasted impressive speeds at times, but we cautioned against buying them because of compatibility issues and other problems that arise with new technology.

Scientists and industry leaders from around the world discussed possible intelligent solutions through modern technologies to important problems for society at the forum “Up to GATE. Technology, Big Data & Beyond. 5 Years of Innovation”.

The practical application of big data science and AI is in focus at the Up to GATE forum. Technology, Big Data & Beyond. 5 Years of Innovation”

The first master class dedicated to AI regulations will be part of the program

The GATE Institute and Japan’s University of Tsukuba, Centre for Computational Sciences (CCS), held their first joint seminar as part of a growing partnership established under  the signed Memorandum of understanding in April 2024.

GATE Institute hosted two NATO seminars on December 10 and 11, 2024, dedicated to the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) and data in the defence and security sectors. Organized in collaboration with NATO’s Data and AI Review Board (DARB) and NATO’s Innovation, Hybrid, and Cyber Division, the events brought together experts, policymakers, and representatives from Allied nations, government institutions, academia, and industry. These seminars positioned GATE as a key player in NATO’s innovation ecosystem and highlighted Bulgaria’s leadership in ethical AI.

Simeon Karpuzov, a researcher in the “Digital Health” team at the GATE Institute, has been honoured in the “Science, Technology and Healthcare” category of Forbes’ “30 under 30” ranking. He is the only scientist among the young minds revolutionizing the future with an already registered patent for an innovative scientific discovery for the benefit of people and their health care.

Prof. Desislava Petrova-Antonova, Research lead of the Future Cities application domain at GATE Institute, was the keynote speaker at the Future Cities Forum Bulgaria X City forum, dedicated to innovations and technologies that transform the urban environment. The prestigious event, organized by Internet Media Group, brought together over 50 municipalities, business representatives and experts in the field of sustainable development.

The second edition of the AEC Hackathon x GATE concluded on Sunday, leaving a remarkable impression with its dynamic atmosphere of collaboration and innovation.

The “Up to GATE. Technology, Big Data & Beyond. 5 Years of Innovation” international forum, held from November 20 to 24, 2024 at GATE, brought together scientists and leaders to discuss innovative solutions using modern technologies. The event marked the fifth anniversary of the institute’s founding and included discussions, masterclasses, and demonstrations of new technologies.
