China’s tech champion aims to fill gaps left by US sanctions Huawei is preparing to test its latest AI chip, the Ascend 910D, hoping it can challenge higher-end products from Nvidia as US restrictions batter the Chinese semiconductor industry. According to the Wall Street Journal Huawei has begun approaching Chinese tech firms to test the new chip’s technical feasibility. The Shenzhen giant expects the first sample batches by late May. While the development is still early, it signals a fresh effort to counter Washington’s moves to choke China’s access to advanced chip-making kit. Huawei hopes the Ascend 910D will outperform Nvidia’s…
ChatGPT went viral in late 2022, changing the tech world. Generative AI became the top priority for every tech company, and that’s how we ended up with “smart” fridges with built-in AI. Artificial intelligence is being built into everything, sometimes for the hype alone, with products like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini having come a long way since late 2022.As soon as it became clear that genAI would reshape technology, likely leading to advanced AI systems that can do everything humans can do but better and faster, we started seeing worries that AI would negatively impact society and doom scenarios where…

Around 300 Google DeepMind employees in the UK plan to unionise.Workers aim to join the Communication Workers Union, citing ethical concerns.Workers aren’t okay with AI being used in conflicts such as Gaza. Around 300 Google DeepMind staffers in the UK are planning to unionise to challenge the tech giant’s decision to sell its artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to defence groups with purported ties to the Israeli government, according to a report in the Financial Times.The workers are seeking to join the Communication Workers Union in the coming weeks. Some of the employees…
What if you could design systems that think, adapt, and act on their own—handling everything from scheduling meetings to analyzing complex datasets—all without constant human oversight? Welcome to the world of AI agents, where the boundaries of automation and intelligence are being redefined. OpenAI’s AI Agents Course 2025 which takes a good seven hours to complete, promises to be a fantastic option, offering a structured pathway to mastering these autonomous systems. As industries increasingly rely on AI to streamline workflows and solve intricate challenges, the demand for skilled developers who can build, deploy, and optimize these agents has never been…
It’s interesting to see that even after Tesla successfully changed over Gigafactory Shanghai to the new Model Y, reports still emerged earlier this month suggesting that the demand for the revamped, all-electric crossover may already be over. Videos from China, as well as the trend in Tesla’s new vehicle registrations, suggest that the demand for the new Model Y in the country is alive and well. Why Did Registrations Drop In April? Arguments that the new Model Y was already running out of steam in China are partly based on the vehicle’s sudden drop in registrations in April. This, as…
[Submitted on 30 Oct 2024 (v1), last revised 25 Apr 2025 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled Contrastive Learning and Adversarial Disentanglement for Task-Oriented Semantic Communications, by Omar Erak and 1 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Task-oriented semantic communication systems have emerged as a promising approach to achieving efficient and intelligent data transmission, where only information relevant to a specific task is communicated. However, existing methods struggle to fully disentangle task-relevant and task-irrelevant information, leading to privacy concerns and subpar performance. To address this, we propose an information-bottleneck method, named CLAD (contrastive learning and adversarial…
Stanford HAI’s 2025 AI Index Reveals Record Growth in AI Capabilities, Investment, and Regulation U.S. leads in model development, China narrows performance gap, and global optimism rises despite persistent challenges in reasoning and trust Today, the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) released its 2025 AI Index report which provides a comprehensive look at the global state of artificial intelligence. Now in its eighth edition, the AI Index tracks, distills, and visualizes data across technical performance, economic impact, education, policy, and responsible AI, offering an empirical foundation for understanding AI’s rapid evolution. This press release features multimedia. View the full…
While the tech bros of the world declare the singularity – the moment where artificial intelligence (AI) surpasses human intelligence – imminent, various AI systems are still struggling with tasks humans can perform with ease.For instance, image generators struggle with hands, teeth, or a glass of wine that is full to the brim, while large language model (LLM) chatbots are easily vexed by problems that can be solved by most 8-year-old humans. As well as this, they are still prone to “hallucinations”, or serving up plausible-sounding lies rather than true information.Despite these problems, search and other tech giants have been…
