Tech companies looking to sell their artificial intelligence technology to the federal government must now contend with a new regulatory hurdle: prove their chatbots aren’t “woke.”President Donald Trump’s sweeping new plan to counter China in achieving “global dominance” in AI promises to cut regulations and cement American values into the AI tools increasingly used at work and home.But one of Trump’s three AI executive orders signed Wednesday — the one “preventing woke AI in the federal government” — also mimics China’s state-driven approach to mold the behavior of AI systems to fit its ruling party’s core values.Several leading providers of…
Lauren Kolodny, a partner at Acrew Capital, has always championed technology’s power to democratize access to financial services for everyday people. When the fledgling neobank Chime struggled to convince investors in 2016 that it could build a large business serving the working class, Kolodny was the only VC out of 100 Chime pitched who agreed to back the company, stepping in with a $9 million Series A extension when it was nearly out of money. That bet paid off big time. Last month, Chime went public at a $14.5 billion valuation. Kolodny, who appeared on the Forbes Midas List three…
Web Guide is halfway between normal search and AI Mode. Credit: Google Web Guide is halfway between normal search and AI Mode.

It has many of the links you might expect, but there are also AI-generated headings with summaries and suggestions. It really looks halfway between standard search and AI Mode. Because it has to run additional searches and generate content, Web Guide takes a beat longer to produce results compared to…
On Thursday, Google launched Web Guide, a new AI-powered search feature that “groups links in helpful ways” for people who opt in to the test on Labs. Web Guide runs on a custom version of Google’s Gemini AI model to process search queries, reorganizing the traditional “10 blue links” by sorting results and finding related questions using generative AI.For anyone who chooses to enable Web Guide, it is currently available within the same “Web” tab on Google Search that currently shows search results without including AI Overviews. It uses the same “query fanout technique” as AI Mode, allowing Gemini to…

One of China’s four artificial intelligence (AI) “tigers” has joined the price war on large language model (LLM) services in the country, heating up competition in a market segment where the prominent players are the mainland’s Big Tech companies. Zhipu AI, formally known as Beijing Zhipu Huazhang Technology, on Wednesday announced at an event in the nation’s capital that its GLM series of LLMs – the technology behind ChatGPT and other generative AI (GenAI) services – will now cost as little as 0.1 yuan (US$0.014) per 1 million-token prompt, or 90 per cent less than the current industry average of…

By Hakan Ersen and Miranda Murray.

The case revolves around the influence of Chinese companies in Western markets, especially in strategic sectors such as artificial intelligence. The decisions taken in Germany could serve as a benchmark for other countries assessing similar risks, increasing distrust surrounding data storage on servers outside the European Union. Germany urges Apple and Google to block DeepSeek AI Germany’s data protection commissioner has asked Apple AAPL.O and Google…
US export controls have had some effect on the black market. Given the nature of such products, leading Chinese AI players with global operations are not able to order them in a legally compliant way, install them in their own data centers, or receive Nvidia’s customer support. This has led to third-party data centre operators becoming key buyers who then provide computing services. Other clients include smaller companies in tech, finance, and health care that do not have strong compliance requirements, as well as Chinese companies on the so-called US entity list that are not allowed to buy any Nvidia…
