Nvidia just got shut out of the Chinese market — this time by the Chinese government instead of the US.   China’s internet regulator, the Cyberspace Administration of China, banned domestic tech companies from buying Nvidia AI chips on Wednesday, as first reported by the Financial Times.   The agency also told tech companies including ByteDance and Alibaba to stop testing and ordering Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D server, a device designed specifically for the market in China.   Beijing had previously discouraged companies from buying these chips in late August, instead promoting alternatives from local manufacturers. This ban will deliver quite a blow to China’s tech ecosystem. While companies like Huawei…

Published: September 18, 2025 Photo by ilgmyzin on Unsplash By India McCarty In an effort to safeguard young people using AI, ChatGPT parent company OpenAI announced plans to create for a teen-friendly version of the chatbot.  “We prioritize safety ahead of privacy and freedom for teens; this is a new and powerful technology, and we believe minors need significant protection,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote in a blog post to the company’s website.  He shared that they will separate users who are under 13 by using “an age-prediction system to estimate age based on how people use ChatGPT.” “If there…

Every now and then, researchers at the biggest tech companies drop a bombshell. There was the time Google said its latest quantum chip indicated multiple universes exist. Or when Anthropic gave its AI agent Claudius a snack vending machine to run and it went amok, calling security on people, and insisting it was human.   This week, it was OpenAI’s turn to raise our collective eyebrows. OpenAI released on Monday some research that explained how it’s stopping AI models from “scheming.” It’s a practice in which an “AI behaves one way on the surface while hiding its true goals,” OpenAI defined…

A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after investors scooped up equities, shaking off the initial concerns inferred from the Fed’s dot plot, with tech stocks leading the charge. As a reminder, the Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points yesterday and signaled that more reductions could come before year-end and beyond. Initially when the cut was announced and Fed Chair Powell held his press conference, there was a pullback in the market as the Fed’s “dot plot” revealed that only one cut was likely for 2026. This was below the three cuts that…

On Tuesday afternoon, three parents sat in a row before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism. Two of them had each recently lost a child to suicide; the third has a teenage son who, after cutting his arm in front of her and biting her, is undergoing residential treatment. All three blame generative AI for what has happened to their children.They had come to testify on what appears to be an emerging health crisis in teens’ interactions with AI chatbots. “What began as a homework helper gradually turned itself into a confidant and then a suicide coach,” said…

UPDATED MIT President Sally Kornbluth says police also are investigating a ‘sign wishing violence on a conservative non-profit’ Police at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are investigating a series of vandalism and other “disturbing” incidents on campus last week that included two swastikas and a “sign wishing violence” on an unnamed conservative group. MIT President Sally Kornbluth informed the campus of the investigation in a message Friday.  The institution witnessed multiple “disturbing” incidents last week, including “in two cases, a hand-drawn swastika; a sign wishing violence on a conservative non-profit; and multiple cases, in graffiti and on an email list,…

Tech giant Huawei unveiled new AI infrastructure meant to help boost compute power and allow the company to better compete with rival chipmaker Nvidia.   At a keynote at its Huawei Connect conference on Thursday, Shenzhen, China-based Huawei announced new SuperPoD Interconnect technology that can link up to 15,000 graphics cards, including Huawei’s Ascend AI chips, together to increase compute power.  This tech seems to be a competitor for Nvidia’s NVLink infrastructure, which facilitates high-speed communication between AI chips.   Technology like this is critical for Huawei to better compete with semiconductors like Nvidia’s. While Huawei’s AI chips are less powerful than Nvidia’s, being able to cluster them together will give its users access to more compute power, which is needed for training and scaling AI systems.   This news also comes just a day after China banned domestic tech companies from buying Nvidia’s hardware, including Nvidia’s RTX Pro…
