January 23 2025 # Tech News for 23-01-25 [Infini East](https://www.infinieast.com/blog/author/infini-east) ![Blog Details](https://www.infinieast.com/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/A%20bustling%20scene%20unfolds%20at%20the%20World%20Economic%20Forum%20in%20Davos%2c%20where%20Pope%20Francis%20stands%20at%20a%20podium%2c%20his%20expression%20earnest%20as%20he%20addresses%20an%20audien.jpeg) Today is Thursday, 23 January 2025, and here are the top stories in technology: **Pope Warns Davos Summit About AI's Impact on Truth** At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Pope Francis expressed concerns that artificial intelligence could exacerbate a "crisis of truth." He highlighted the ethical implications and potential societal effects of AI-generated content that is indistinguishable from human-created material. The Pope urged governments and businesses to implement vigilant measures to address these challenges. **Elon Musk Criticises $500 Billion Stargate AI Project** A significant rift has emerged between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump over the newly announced $500 billion Stargate AI infrastructure project. Musk criticised the initiative, claiming that key investors like SoftBank and OpenAI lack the necessary funds, with SoftBank reportedly securing well under $10 billion. Despite the controversy, construction of initial data centres has begun in Texas, with additional funding commitments from MGX and Oracle. **World's First AI-Designed, 3D-Printed Shoe Launched** Syntilay, co-founded by Ben Weiss and Reebok's Joe Foster, has unveiled the world's first AI-designed shoe. Approximately 70% of the shoe's design was generated using AI technology. Customers can purchase the £149.99 slide in various colours and personalise it by scanning their feet with a phone camera, ensuring a custom fit. Despite the innovation, some critics believe AI lacks the human touch in design. **London's Landmarks Transformed with AI Technology** In a spectacular display, London's County Hall and the London Eye were transformed using artificial intelligence to transport tourists through time. The multimedia show utilised advanced projections and holography to showcase key milestones in human evolution, from the Stone Age to emerging AI technologies. Commissioned by Samsung to celebrate the launch of the Galaxy S25 series, the event highlighted the significant impact of AI on society. **Oracle Stock Surges Following Stargate AI Announcement** Following President Trump's announcement of the Stargate AI infrastructure project, Oracle's stock rose significantly, closing at $184.22, reflecting a 6.8% increase. The initiative, which includes partnerships with companies like OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle, aims to build AI infrastructure with an initial investment of $100 billion and potential expansion to $500 billion over four years. **UK Launches Investigations into Apple and Google** The UK's Competition and Markets Authority has initiated new investigations into the dominance of Apple and Google in the mobile internet services market. The probes will examine whether their control over operating systems, app stores, and browsers hinders competition, potentially leading to remedies that enhance app downloads and service payments outside their platforms. ## Blog comments ## Recent Post [![](https://www.infinieast.com/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/The%20image%20depicts%20a%20modern%20office%20environment%20with%20a%20sleek%20minimalist%20design%20In%20the%20foreground%20a%20diverse%20group%20of%20professionalsthree%20men%20and%20two%20womenare%20engaged%20in%20a%20collaborative%20discussion%20around%20a%20large%20conference%20table%20adorned%20with%20digital%20devic-1.jpeg)](https://www.infinieast.com/blog/meet-your-new-digital-teammate-copilot-agents) Jun 3, 2025 2:22:37 PM [Meet Your New Digital Teammate - Copilot Agents](https://www.infinieast.com/blog/meet-your-new-digital-teammate-copilot-agents) [Infini East](https://www.infinieast.com/blog/author/infini-east) [Read More](https://www.infinieast.com/blog/meet-your-new-digital-teammate-copilot-agents) [![](https://www.infinieast.com/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/The%20image%20depicts%20a%20modern%20office%20environment%20showcasing%20a%20sleek%20workspace%20with%20a%20large%20bright%20window%20allowing%20natural%20light%20to%20flood%20in%20A%20sophisticated%20desktop%20computer%20sits%20on%20a%20minimalist%20desk%20displaying%20a%20vibrant%20digital%20interface%20that%20promotes%20p.jpeg)](https://www.infinieast.com/blog/say-goodbye-to-passwords) Jun 1, 2025 6:18:27 PM [Say goodbye to passwords](https://www.infinieast.com/blog/say-goodbye-to-passwords) [Infini East](https://www.infinieast.com/blog/author/infini-east) [Read More](https://www.infinieast.com/blog/say-goodbye-to-passwords) [![](https://www.infinieast.com/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/The%20image%20depicts%20a%20sleek%20modern%20office%20environment%20with%20a%20vibrant%20digital%20display%20showcasing%20a%20flowchart%20titled%20Your%20ThreeStage%20Guide%20to%20Copilot%20for%20Microsoft%20365%20The%20flowchart%20is%20divided%20into%20three%20distinct%20stages%20Prepare%20for%20Copilot%20Proof%20of%20Value-1.jpeg)](https://www.infinieast.com/blog/copilotplan) May 11, 2025 7:04:37 PM [Microsoft 365 Copilot](https://www.infinieast.com/blog/copilotplan) [Infini East](https://www.infinieast.com/blog/author/infini-east) [Read More](https://www.infinieast.com/blog/copilotplan) [![LinkedIn](https://www.infinieast.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LinkedIn_icon.svg.png?width=42&height=42&name=LinkedIn_icon.svg.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/infinieast/) [![tiktok](https://www.infinieast.com/hs-fs/hubfs/tiktok.png?width=42&height=42&name=tiktok.png)](https://www.tiktok.com/@infinieast) [![Logo_of_YouTube](https://www.infinieast.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo_of_YouTube_(2015-2017).svg.png?width=100&height=42&name=Logo_of_YouTube_(2015-2017).svg.png)](https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniEast) [![image-png-1](https://www.infinieast.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-1.png?width=40&height=40&name=image-png-1.png)](https://x.com/infinieast) ###### 2024 All rights reserved  ###### Copyright Infini East ltd, Lytchett House, Unit 13 Freeland Park, Wareham Road, Poole, Dorset, BH16 6FA ###### Tel: 020 4572 5373 - 023 9433 0338 ###### Company house number: 16150922 ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Infini East", "url" : "https://www.infinieast.com/blog/author/infini-east" }, "dateModified" : "2025-01-23T18:35:59.646Z", "datePublished" : "2025-01-23T18:35:14.000Z", "headline" : "Tech News for 23-01-25", "image" : [ "https://www.infinieast.com/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/A%20bustling%20scene%20unfolds%20at%20the%20World%20Economic%20Forum%20in%20Davos%2c%20where%20Pope%20Francis%20stands%20at%20a%20podium%2c%20his%20expression%20earnest%20as%20he%20addresses%20an%20audien.jpeg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.infinieast.com/blog/tech-news-for-23-01-25", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://www.infinieast.com/hubfs/Logo%20-%20close%20edge%20v1.png" }, "name" : "Infini East" } } ```
