Author: Gadget Detective - Fevzi Turkalp June 18, 2023 Duration: 19:44
Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Bill Buckley on BBC Berkshire to discuss the latest tech news and reviews. This week, the European Union is working on the AI Act, a framework to prepare for the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence, but how will it handle some of the more worrying pitfalls? 

First Gadget of the Week is Logitech MX Keys S Combo. This bundle contains the MX Master 3S ergonomic wireless mouse and MX Keys S wireless keyboard, including palm-rest, features backlit keys that detect when your hand approaches before lighting, an ambient light sensor. The bundle is compatible with Mac, Windows, Chromebook, and more, and you can switch between them and even drag and drop documents and files between devices. The mouse features a host of programmable keys, hi-resolution sensor, and more. Scoring 4.5 out of 5

Second Gadget of the Week is MetaCat 2023 from Elephant Robotics. This robotic cat is around the size of a real cat and is available in a range of colours. Although they're sold as toys these are ideal for the vulnerable, the elderly, and people with dementia. With voice input, a range of sensors, and screens for eyes which allow it to blink and react, these cats respond to petting and other inputs. You can also buy them with a range of accessories such as hats and glasses, plus it will never bring in a dead mouse or bird! Scoring 4 out of 5
