Reports Indicate Security Reviews are Delaying Nvidia Chip Exports to China

Almost two months after President Trump gave the nod to the resumption of H200 AI chip sales to China, national security reviews by the State Department, Department of Energy and the Commerce Department in the U.S. have stalled the exports, according to a news article published by the Financial Times. Meanwhile, prospective Chinese buyers are holding off on placing their orders for these chips as they await information on whether those firms will obtain the needed permits to import the chips and what specific conditions are likely to be attached to the purchases. The FT report shows that the Commerce…

Reports Indicate the Pentagon is Clashing with Anthropic on AI Use

According to unnamed insider sources cited by Reuters, the Pentagon has clashed with AI firm Anthropic regarding the startup’s insistence on safeguards that the Pentagon sees as a roadblock to the use of the artificial intelligence technology of the company in autonomous weapons and for surveillance purposes domestically. This flashpoint that could determine the extent to which Silicon Valley can influence how the intelligence community and the military can deploy AI for combat purposes. Extensive discussions have been ongoing with regard to a Pentagon deal that could be worth $200m for Anthropic. This stalemate could jeopardize that deal or cause…

Tesla Reduces its EV Models, Deepens Push into AI and Robotics

Tesla has revealed that its yearly revenue has reduced for the first time as the firm switches its focus to robotics and AI. The carmaker’s revenue dropped by 3% last year while its profits plummeted by 61% in the final quarter of 2025. Tesla announced that it intends to stop producing the Model X and Model S electric vehicles. The California facility that has been making those EV models will now switch to manufacturing Optimus, the humanoid robots that the company makes. It is notable that in January, Chinese firm BYD supplanted Tesla as the biggest maker of EVs in…

4 Considerations Data Center Operators Need to Weigh Before Adopting 800Vdc Power

As AI workloads grow, the power demand by server racks is increasing at an exponential rate and many within the data center industry are exploring ways to switch to a new 800Vdc power architecture to replace the existing 40Vdc/400Vdc systems. This is a big jump that could amplify the power available for operations, but a number of factors need to be weighed before an operator can make the decision to switch. The first parameter to analyze is the safety implications of this new architecture. Higher voltages amplify the likelihood, severity and complexity of a number of hazards. For example, the…

The UK is Losing More Jobs to AI Compared to Other Countries

According to a new study conducted by Morgan Stanley, an investment bank based in the U.S., the UK is facing the brunt of job losses due to artificial intelligence in comparison to other developed economies like Australia, the U.S., Germany and Japan. Firms in Britain revealed that about 8% of the jobs in the country had been lost to AI over the last year. This magnitude of job losses is far higher than the number of jobs being lost to AI in other large economies. This percentage of job losses reflects the net balance after jobs created by AI are…

The US and Taiwan Complete Major Investment and Tariff Deal

The U.S. and Taiwan have inked a major trade agreement centered on semiconductor products. Under the deal, import tariffs for exports entering the United States have been revised and significant investments from Taiwan will be channeled into chip manufacturing in the U.S. The U.S. has lauded this deal as something that will boost semiconductor manufacturing on U.S. soil while also ensuring that critical supply chains are protected. The deal lowers tariffs on Taiwanese semiconductor products from the current 20% to a lower level of 15%, which aligns with the rates being levied on other exports originating from the Asian region.…

More Data Center Projects are Being Cancelled as Community Pushback Intensifies

AI dominated news headlines during the recent 2-3 years and the meteoric rise of this industry has also created a boom in data center construction so that the systems behind the different AI solutions, such as generative AI systems like ChatGPT, can have the necessary infrastructure needed to support their operation. However, communities are increasingly expressing their opposition to the uptick in data centers within their areas and this is threatening to throttle the progress of the data center industry. The major concerns of communities rotate around their rising electricity bills as power-hungry data centers cause utility firms to incur…

Utah is Testing an AI System That Renews Drug Prescriptions

Utah has drawn nationwide attention as the first state in the U.S. to conduct a pilot program in which AI is being allowed to renew medical prescriptions for patients suffering from chronic illnesses. This experiment tests the opportunities offered by artificial intelligence and also highlights the risks inherent in the “wild west” way in which AI implementation is getting ahead of oversight mechanisms. The initiative, undertaken in collaboration with a startup called Doctronic, kicked off last month quietly. It is a test of whether AI can be trusted to undertake the sensitive task of prescribing drugs without the involvement of…

Stanford Researchers Develop AI System That Uses Sleep Data to Predict Diseases

Researchers at Stanford University have developed an AI-backed system that uses sleep data to predict the future risk of disease onset. These predictions are based off a single night’s sleep data. Their findings suggest that the physiological signals collected while you sleep can be valuable pointers to the diseases that you could suffer from years later. SleepFM, as the system is called, leverages data collected on breathing patterns, heart function, brain activity, leg movements as well as the other physical signals that happen while you sleep. In all, the system was trained using data on 65,000 people. The information was…
