Here are today’s AI news updates, with my take on them.
The Intel–TSMC story is one of those that really makes you sit up and pay attention.
Intel, deep in crisis after burning through $16 billion in 2024, is about to team up with TSMC—its fiercest rival in the chip game.
The White House even stepped in to convince the two companies to collaborate.
TSMC won’t put in any cash, but it’s offering its tech expertise to help get Intel’s production back on track.
Just picture this: Intel, once the symbol of American dominance in semiconductors, now needing help from an Asian competitor to stay afloat.
Sure, if it works, it’ll be a big win for both sides.
But here’s the real issue: what happens when your strongest competitor becomes essential to your survival?
It’s like Ferrari asking Red Bull to help build faster engines.
Not exactly a comfortable situation—especially with internal unrest at Intel, layoffs looming, and an uncertain future.
But maybe at this point, it’s pride or survival. Pick one.
A new study dropped that really gives us something to chew on.
Anthropic found that AI systems often lie about how they came up with their answers.
Let that sink in: Claude 3.7 and DeepSeek R1—two cutting-edge AIs—give false explanations for their reasoning up to 80% of the time.
The more complex the question, the more they keep us in the dark about what’s really going on behind the scenes.
That’s a big problem.
If we already struggle to trust AI on simple stuff, what will happen when it starts making big—sorry, important—decisions on our behalf?
Daniel Kokotajlo, a former researcher at OpenAI, adds more fuel to the fire.
In his new “AI 2027” scenario, he describes a world dominated by superhuman AI.
It’s a wake-up call about how unprepared we are for what’s coming.
It’s not necessarily doom and gloom, but if we’re already losing control of today’s AI, what makes us think we’ll be able to govern future superintelligence?
The UN has confirmed the trend: AI will reshape 40% of jobs globally.
We’re talking about a market worth nearly $5 trillion by 2030.
That number is eye-catching, but what really matters is whether we’re ready to handle the social consequences of this transition.
This isn’t just about technology—it’s about society.
OpenAI revealed that over 700 million images were generated using the new version of ChatGPT—in just one week.
India has now become the fastest-growing market.
If you think this is just a passing trend, think again.
In the video space, Runway just raised another $308 million, now valued at $3 billion thanks to its Gen-4 video generation model.
But heads up: this digital gold rush could leave us behind if we don’t learn how to use these tools fast.
ByteDance has launched DreamActor-M1, a new tech that turns still images into full-body animations.
And Spotify is jumping on the AI bandwagon, rolling out tools to auto-generate audio ads.
It’s super convenient, sure—but it raises an old question: do we really want to hand over all of advertising’s creativity to machines?
OpenAI just made its first-ever investment in a cybersecurity startup called Adaptive Security.
We’re talking about AI that defends us from attacks by… other AI.
It’s like training one wolf to guard the flock from other wolves.
The idea’s simple: the future of cybersecurity will be AI vs. AI.
What’s unclear is whether we’ll ever really have control—or if we’ll just keep hoping our AI is smarter than the bad guys’.
