C3.ai experienced a 14% increase in its stock price over the past week, likely spurred by its recent collaboration with Arcfield to enhance Enterprise AI solutions for defense and intelligence. This partnership underscores the company’s dedication to advancing AI technology, potentially strengthening its service offerings. Meanwhile, broader market trends showed mixed movements with the Dow Jones down, S&P 500 steady, and Nasdaq gaining, amid tariff uncertainty. As the market saw a 4% rise over the same period, C3.ai’s price movement aligns with the general upward market trend, albeit boosted by the positive sentiment around its recent announcement. We’ve identified 2…
Emerging technology, when first being presented to the public-at-large, is bound to get people fearful and protective of the status quo. Such is the current case with AI and its practical application in multiple industries, particularly in the space of visual media arts, but rather than turn away, renowned filmmaker and technological innovator James Cameron is choosing to lean in. Last year, he joined the board of the generative AI company Stability AI and during a recent interview on the “Boz to the Future” podcast, he explained how the tech’s ability to shorten VFX workflow could truly be a game-changer…
One pressing question at the artificial-intelligence (AI) summit in Paris this week was this: is Mistral AI’s assistant a cat, or a chat? Called Le Chat and developed by a French startup as a competitor to ChatGPT, it launched as a smartphone app on February 6th. To the English speaker, Le Chat looks like a French twist on AI chat, which it conducts in English (and other languages). Yet at the jamboree President Emmanuel Macron plugged it using a soft “sh”, rendering Le Chat distinctly feline. Arthur Mensch, Mistral’s 32-year-old boss, says his baby is indeed four-legged. Look carefully at…
DeepSeek’s bargain-bin AI model wiped nearly $100 billion off global markets. The Chinese firm’s R1 chatbot, built on the promise of cheap and fast performance, turned out to be riddled with security flaws. That set off a financial chain reaction. Nvidia (NVDA) tanked 17% in a single day. Bitcoin sank below $100,000. Tech stocks crumbled. Crypto followed.Stay Ahead of the Market: U.S. officials stepped in fast. They warned that DeepSeek’s rise could hand China an edge in the AI arms race. The price for cutting corners? Sky-high. DeepSeek AI Growth Fuels Global Cybersecurity Panic At first glance, DeepSeek looked like…
Chinese internet companies, including ByteDance, Alibaba Group Holding BABA, and Tencent Holding TCEHY, hoarded billions of dollars worth of Nvidia Corp NVDA H20 artificial intelligence (AI) chips as the U.S. semiconductor sanctions kicked in. Nvidia tailor-made the H20 chips to comply with U.S. semiconductor sanctions. However, the Chinese companies started hoarding them in 2024, fearing potential shipment restrictions, Nikkei Asia reported on Wednesday.

The companies reportedly placed over $16 billion in orders…
Meta Platforms Inc. has teamed up with Booz Allen Holding Corp., a U.S. government contractor, to develop an artificial intelligence system for the International Space Station. The companies detailed the project today. Space Llama, as the AI system is called, is based on a fine-tuned version of Meta’s Llama 3.2 language model series. It’s designed to support science projects in the ISS National Laboratory, a research lab located aboard the station. Certain types of materials are easier to mix in low-gravity conditions. As a result, astronauts use the ISS National Laboratory to study material combinations that would be difficult to…
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…
Three years ago, suggesting AI was “sentient” was one way to get fired in the tech world. Now, tech companies are more open to having that conversation.This week, AI startup Anthropic launched a new research initiative to explore whether models might one day experience “consciousness,” while a scientist at Google DeepMind described today’s models as “exotic mind-like entities.”It’s a sign of how much AI has advanced since 2022, when Blake Lemoine was fired from his job as a Google engineer after claiming the company’s chatbot, LaMDA, had become sentient. Lemoine said the system feared being shut off and described itself…
Ziff Davis, the digital publisher behind tech sites like Mashable, PCMag and Lifehacker, sued OpenAI on Thursday, joining a wave of media companies accusing the artificial intelligence giant of stealing its content.Ziff Davis is one of the largest publishers in the United States, with more than 45 sites globally that together attract an average of 292 million visitors per month, and is among the biggest media companies pressing a claim against OpenAI.(The New York Times has sued OpenAI and its partner, Microsoft, claiming copyright infringement of news content related to A.I. systems. The two companies have denied the suit’s claims.)In…
Massachusetts Institute of Technology astronomers have discovered a planet roughly 140 light-years from Earth — but it’s quickly disintegrating.The planet, which scientists have tagged as BD+05 4868 Ab, is located so close to the sun that it completes a full orbit every 30.5 hours, according to MIT News. As a result, it’s likely covered in magma, causing the planet to evaporate and shed the equivalent of one Mount Everest’s worth of surface materials during every orbit. The astronomers estimate the planet may disintegrate fully within the next 1 to 2 million years.Debris trails behind the planet in a comet-like fashion,…
