| 🇨🇳 US allows chip software sales to China again LINK
|
- The U.S. government revoked export curbs, allowing companies like Synopsys and Cadence to resume selling electronic design automation (EDA) products to Chinese customers immediately.
- This reversal is part of a deal giving the U.S. easier access to rare earth materials, while China can now buy crucial American chip design software.
- It remains unclear if all EDA software restrictions are gone, and US firms now worry Chinese companies might pursue local alternatives to avoid any future disruptions.
| ⚠️ Racist AI videos are spreading on TikTok LINK
|
- Numerous TikTok accounts are posting short, AI-generated clips that use racist and antisemitic tropes to target Black people, immigrants, and Jewish individuals with stereotypes.
- A "Veo" watermark on the eight-second content confirms it originates from Google's Veo 3 model, which appears to have more compliant guardrails than previous systems.
- Despite TikTok's terms of service banning hate speech, these hateful creations are spreading unchecked on the platform, gaining comments that echo the harmful caricatures shown.
| 🤝 OpenAI signs a $30bn cloud deal with Oracle LINK
|
- OpenAI signed a deal with Oracle for 4.5GW of computing power, an agreement valued at approximately $30 billion annually to develop its advanced AI models.
- The transaction expands OpenAI's 'Stargate' initiative, requiring Oracle to build US data centres with capacity equal to a quarter of the nation's current operational supply.
- Oracle plans to purchase 400,000 of Nvidia's GB200 chips for around $40 billion to power a new 1.2GW Stargate facility in Abilene, Texas.
| 🤖 Ford CEO predicts AI will cut half of white-collar jobs LINK
|
- Ford CEO Jim Farley said he believes half of all white-collar workers in the U.S. could lose their jobs to artificial intelligence in the coming years.
- Other leaders from companies like Anthropic and JPMorgan Chase share this concern, with some firms already using AI agents to replace human resources staff.
- In contrast, executives at Nvidia and OpenAI claim there is little evidence for this, arguing that AI will mainly just make existing employees more efficient.
| 🚫 OpenAI says it has not partnered with Robinhood LINK
|
- OpenAI stated it did not partner with Robinhood for its sale of 'OpenAI tokens' and that the tokens do not represent equity in the company.
- Robinhood explained the product offers indirect exposure through its ownership stake in a special purpose vehicle (SPV) which holds the actual OpenAI shares.
- The AI company warned that any transfer of its equity requires approval, which it did not provide for this token sale in the European Union.
