Amazon Web Services (AWS) is expanding its partnership with French-Italian chipmaker STMicroelectronics to secure semiconductor supplies for its data centers, according to Bloomberg. STMicro will provide chips for high-bandwidth connectivity and energy-efficient power management, essential for hyperscale operations. AWS received warrants to purchase up to 24.8 million STMicro shares, vesting over time based on product payments, with an initial exercise price of US$28.38. The warrants can be exercised within seven years. STMicro shares rose 6.5% to US$26.51 following the announcement. The growth of data centers supporting AI technologies has increased demand for advanced chips from companies like Nvidia, AMD, and TSMC, as well as for mature analog chips used in power management and sensors.

Apple reportedly built a China-specific AI model with Alibaba. Apple uses different AI partners in China and other markets. Apple has developed a large language model specifically for China with support from Alibaba, Reuters reported, citing three people familiar with the matter. The project marks a change from Apple’s earlier plan to rely primarily […] The post Apple builds China-specific AI model with Alibaba support appeared first on TechWire Asia .

While dancing robots show off intelligence, purpose-built machines can scale far more cost effectively EVERY few months, a humanoid robot company raises a round that defies its own income statement. Figure AI closed more than a billion dollars in September 2025, at a post-money valuation of US$39 billion. The company has never disclosed revenue, but credible third-party estimates put its 2026 revenue in the low tens of millions, which implies a multiple north of a thousand times sales. For context, even the most generously priced listed hardware companies trade in the low tens at steady state. Figure AI is roughly a hundred times richer, on the assumption that the promise of a humanoid with general intelligence is nearly here. However, Figure AI is no outlier. Apptronik’s valuation trebled

For a quarter century, the Google search box has been one of the most recognizable interfaces in computing: a thin white rectangle, a blinking cursor, a few typed words, and a list of blue links. On Tuesday, Google will formally retire that paradigm. At its annual I/O developer conference , Google announced a sweeping redesign of the search box itself — the literal text field where billions of queries begin every day — transforming it from a simple keyword input into a dynamic, AI-driven conversation starter that can accept text, images, PDFs, videos, and even open Chrome tabs as inputs. The company is also merging its AI Overviews and AI Mode features into a single, seamless search flow, eliminating the friction that previously forced users to choose between a traditional results page and

Railway , a San Francisco-based cloud platform that has quietly amassed two million developers without spending a dollar on marketing, announced Thursday that it raised $100 million in a Series B funding round, as surging demand for artificial intelligence applications exposes the limitations of legacy cloud infrastructure. TQ Ventures led the round, with participation from FPV Ventures , Redpoint , and Unusual Ventures . The investment values Railway as one of the most significant infrastructure startups to emerge during the AI boom, capitalizing on developer frustration with the complexity and cost of traditional platforms like Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud . "As AI models get better at writing code, more and more people are asking the age-old question: where, and how, do I run my

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. The idea of letting a machine do the driving for you may put a lot of people off autonomous vehicles . But research could make it possible to backseat-drive an autonomous vehicle just as you might with a human driver. Self-driving cars carefully balance a host of parameters to ensure a smooth ride, including things like speed, acceleration, and the smoothness of turns. But human driving preferences can often vary depending on how much of a rush they’re in, whether they’re feeling carsick, or how busy the traffic is. These cars have a software component called the motion planner, which is responsible for choosing a safe and efficient path through traffic. The motion planner is normally tuned by

The impact of AI on software development has been both profound and ever-evolving. Last year, I wrote about AMD’s plans to use AI not just for generating new lines of code, but also for other steps in the software development lifecycle (SDLC), such as triaging problems, debugging code, and testing the software. At the time, we were hoping for a 25 percent productivity boost from AI use over the course of two or three years. But with each new release, the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) improve dramatically—accelerating software development, increasing the quality of AI-generated code, and fundamentally reshaping how software is engineered. Now, just one year later, we have surpassed our productivity target, achieving a 30 percent overall productivity boost through AI. On top o

This article is brought to you by Emerson . I’ve spent much of my career as an engineer, including years in the semiconductor industry. And one lesson has stayed with me through every major technology shift: innovation always creates new complexity. In semiconductors, we have seen that repeatedly. Every generation has delivered breakthroughs in performance and capability, but each step forward made it harder to understand system behavior. What used to be easy to validate on the component level with a test bench now needs a much wider view. “The future of engineering will be defined by who can verify, understand, and improve complex systems fast enough to safely keep innovation moving forward,” says Ritu Favre, President of Emerson’s Test & Measurement business group.

The AI boom has disrupted the way engineers work, introducing new tools to learn, raising expectations for what teams can achieve in a workday, and making it harder to get hired in the first place. This makes it difficult to advise students on which specific coding languages or technical skills they should learn. So amidst the uncertainty, advice for young professionals often turns to a common refrain: Be adaptable. But what does adaptability look like in practice? Engineers often operate on the cutting edge of technology, so dealing with change is a normal part of the job, says Samantha Brunhaver , an associate professor of engineering at Arizona State University, in Tempe. Yet university curricula and training in the workplace often don’t prepare students for this. “We tell engineers tha

For most of my career, my IEEE membership sat quietly in the background—a line on my résumé, a discount code for a conference registration, and access to the IEEE Xplore digital library , which I underutilized. I didn’t think much about the grade of membership available above that of the regular member. I assumed senior membership was reserved for people further along in their career than I was. They published more papers, had more gray hair, and had worked longer in the field. I was wrong on all three counts. The misunderstanding cost me an important validation of my skills and professional competency. I suspect a lot of other qualified members are where I was one year ago: eligible but unaware of the benefits of senior membership, and one application away from a meaningful career credent

Representing a significant milestone in AI-assisted mathematical research, a team at Axiom Math has automatically verified the proof of a theorem relating to prime numbers—colloquially referred to as the “246 theorem”—for the first time using the company’s AI system AxiomProver. In formal verification, mathematicians task a computer with checking a machine-readable version of a proof. The process is not a 100 percent guarantee that the proof is correct, as a recent demonstration showed , exposing how a bug in the method could be exploited to accept a false, AI-generated proof. Still, the computational method is as close to a rubber stamp as you can get. This particular verification formalizes an important advance in number theory. Beyond this particular proof, it demonstrates how automated

T he GPT‑5.6 model family is now available in Kiro, a software development agent that brings engineering rigor and quality to AI-native coding at scale. For Kiro users, the update brings OpenAI’s latest flagship model series, including Sol, Terra, and Luna, into the development workflows where teams plan, build, review, and test software. Together, these models can help developers produce higher-quality code with fewer iterations and better value per token. GPT‑5.6 delivers more useful work from every token, with stronger performance per dollar and on-demand capability for complex tasks. In Kiro, developers can apply these capabilities to long-running development work grounded in their requirements, codebase, and team standards. Kiro turns high-level intent into clear requirements, technic

It used to be that Vijay Pande was better known in academic circles than investor circles. That changed pretty abruptly a dozen years ago, when Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz — who’d spent their firm’s first five years explicitly avoiding healthcare and life sciences — decided the category was worth betting on after all and handed the keys to Pande. At the time, he was a Stanford chemistry professor who was best known for building Folding@home, the distributed-computing project that turned millions of home PCs into a supercomputer for disease research. Over the next decade-plus, he grew a16z’s bet into a practice managing close to $4 billion. So it was somewhat unexpected when in June of last year, Pande walked away from it all to start something much smaller. In fact, his new firm, [VZV

Identity-based attack techniques were responsible for 85 per cent of ransomware attacks against education institutions over the past year, above the 79 per cent cross-sector average, a new report by [Sophos](https://www.sophos.com/) has found. The **State of Ransomware in Education 2026** report showed that techniques including malicious email, phishing, compromised credentials and brute-force attacks were the dominant path into education institutions. Malicious email was the leading technical root cause of ransomware attacks in both lower education (31 per cent) and higher education (29 per cent), and 77 per cent of higher education organisations and 71 per cent of lower education organisations said their ransomware incident was also their most significant identity attack. ## Slower recov

Donald Trump flew into a Truth Social meltdown after a top Canadian politician delivered a withering _Saturday Night Live_ diss. Just before 10 a.m. on Sunday, after a [bizarre goose-themed AI slop spiral](https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-ai-slop-gets-weird-with-lake-ontario/), the 80-year-old president was already in meltdown mode over his trade war with America's northern neighbor. "Canadian businesses are pouring into the United States. We want to make our own cars, etc. That's what's going to happen. Canada has been ripping us off for years — NO LONGER!" he said.

Nvidia is investing $3.5 billion into Taiwanese chipmaker MediaTek. As part of the deal, MediaTek will adopt Nvidia’s technology that will help it design custom chips for AI companies and hyperscalers that can be plugged directly into Nvidia-based data centers. The deal comes as a growing number of AI companies and major cloud providers like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, [OpenAI](https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/25/openais-jalapeno-chip-is-built-for-fast-inference-at-scale-benchmarks-show/) and [Anthropic](https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/02/anthropic-is-discussing-a-new-custom-chip-with-samsung/) invest in building their own chips so they can be less reliant on Nvidia’s GPUs. Deals like this one with MediaTek allow Nvidia to cede ground to custom silicon while still maintaining its lead as the d

This story was originally published by Tech Policy Press . The European Union’s push for technological sovereignty faces an uncomfortable contradiction. As the EU rolls out AI factories, gigafactories, and new data centers, it is creating a surge in demand for the advanced semiconductors that underpin artificial intelligence. Yet Europe produces fewer than 10 percent of the world’s chips and remains heavily dependent on U.S. designers and Asian manufacturers for the most advanced processors. That tension sits at the heart of Chips Act 2.0 , the European Commission’s planned overhaul of its flagship semiconductor strategy. The original Chips Act, adopted in 2023, sought to raise Europe’s share of global semiconductor production to 20 percent by 2030. But the European Court of Auditors has w

The EU Commission is classifying ChatGPT as a very large search engine under the Digital Services Act for the first time, with at least 45 million monthly EU users. By the end of 2026, OpenAI has to deliver risk assessments, transparency reports, and an ad archive, among other things. Whether the Commission can also demand access to training data is disputed among legal experts. The article ChatGPT now faces stricter EU oversight as a very large search engine appeared first on The Decoder .

According to The Information, OpenAI has purchased tens of thousands of Mac minis and Mac Studios to train computer agents. Anthropic also relies on Apple hardware. Demand is so high that the most powerful models have been sold out for months. Apple’s Mac revenue rose by nearly 29 percent to $10.4 billion in the June quarter.

OpenAI will soon be held accountable for mitigating risks related to ChatGPT's impact on minors, user mental health, and the spread of illegal content in the European Union. That's because ChatGPT is now considered a Very Large Online Search Engine under the EU's Digital Services Act, a set of laws regulating major online services and […]

Today, I’m talking with New York Governor Kathy Hochul, and I’ll just warn you — this episode moves really fast. It’s an election year, after all, with a shocking amount of tech policy at stake, and Governor Hochul has taken strong positions on almost every major tech issue there is. For example, Meta just [reached a settlement](https://www.theverge.com/policy/985032/meta-state-ag-kids-online-safety-settlement) with dozens of states, including New York, which will restrict how teens use platforms like Instagram in very specific ways. Governor Hochul is a strong supporter of those restrictions and more, as you’ll hear. But those come with a cost — widespread age verification means adults will also have to show ID to use the internet, which will essentially make it impossible to be anonymous

Earlier in August, cryptography professor Matthew Green wrote a controversial [thread on X](https://x.com/matthew_d_green/status/2088253720303694039) and [a longer blog](https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2026/08/14/everything-is-about-to-go-dark/) post that went viral within the cybersecurity community. Green, who has long been a close observer of the debate around the use of hacking tools by governments to fight crime and the need for strong encryption to protect the privacy of innocent people, posited a provocative thought: What if AI makes bugs so scarce that law enforcement and intelligence agencies are unable to lawfully hack criminals anymore? “I’m concerned that AI is going to make software much too secure,” Green wrote, warning that the U.S. government may lose access to sec

Polimill began with Surfvote, a platform where citizens can exchange views about politics and society. As the company worked with local governments, it saw a structural challenge: public-sector teams were consumed by daily operations and had little time to reflect citizens' voices in policy. To expand civic participation, Polimill first needed to make government work itself more efficient. The company started building a generative AI platform for public-sector workflows and released QommonsAI in October 2024. Today, QommonsAI provides specialized AI across areas such as assembly response, public services, social welfare, and legal search. About 1,050 municipalities and about 550,000 public employees across Japan now use it. Built with OpenAI technology, QommonsAI is evolving beyond a staff

When George Arison took over Grindr in 2022, he inherited a company that had been bounced from Chinese ownership to a [forced divestiture](https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/06/grindr-sold-china-national-security/) to a private-equity rescue — a business that was printing money but also had no real product or business strategy.

Revenue is on pace to roughly triple, from $195 million in 2022 to a guided $540 million-plus this year, with adjusted EBITDA margins holding above 40%.

The head of the world's financial stability watchdog warned on Monday of the serious risk posed by advanced AI models to the global financial system. In a [letter](https://www.fsb.org/uploads/P310826.pdf) to finance ministers and central bank governors for G20 countries, Andrew Bailey, chair of the Financial Stability Board, said the potential for such models to conduct cyberattacks represented the "most immediate concern" for a highly interconnected global financial network. "The risks associated with frontier AI will not respect national borders," he wrote. Bailey, who also serves as Bank of England governor, warned about the absence of proper guardrails around the technology, underscored by recent incidents in which frontier AI models being tested went rogue.

Generative AI is making it easier to produce more content and harder to keep track of it. As videos, recordings, and documents accumulate, Adobe, Apple, Google, and a growing number of startups are using AI to make those files searchable. It is not yet clear whether that will support a new category of standalone software or become a standard feature of products people already use. [Clipto](https://www.clipto.com/) is betting there is room for a separate product. The San Francisco-headquartered startup, which also has teams in Singapore and Hong Kong, has raised $15 million in an all-equity round at a $250 million post-money valuation.

A prolific hacking group has taken credit for last week’s cyberattack against U.S. pharmaceutical distribution giant McKesson, leading to the latest spill of highly sensitive health data by an American healthcare company in recent months. McKesson confirmed Friday in a[statement on its website](https://www.mckesson.com/utility/cybersecurity/customer-cybersecurity-information-center/#update) that hackers broke into several of its cloud-hosted accounts earlier in the week and exfiltrated data, and that the company expected “intermittent service degradation” related to the incident.

Instagram [announced](https://creators.instagram.com/blog/ai-generated-profile-label)Monday that it’s changing how it labels AI-generated profiles and will start limiting the reach of accounts that feature AI-generated people without saying so. The platform says it’s renaming its existing “AI creator” label to “AI-generated profile,” which Instagram says should make the disclosure easier to understand. The new label is meant to tell users that the person featured on a profile was generated or substantially created with AI. Under the new policy, creators who don’t properly label an AI-generated profile could see their reach reduced. Creators who use the new label, on the other hand, won’t be penalized simply for having an AI-generated person as their profile subject. The label also isn’t me

This story was originally published by Tech Policy Press . The European Union’s push for technological sovereignty faces an uncomfortable contradiction. As the EU rolls out AI factories, gigafactories, and new data centers, it is creating a surge in demand for the advanced semiconductors that underpin artificial intelligence. Yet Europe produces fewer than 10 percent of the world’s chips and remains heavily dependent on U.S. designers and Asian manufacturers for the most advanced processors. That tension sits at the heart of Chips Act 2.0 , the European Commission’s planned overhaul of its flagship semiconductor strategy. The original Chips Act, adopted in 2023, sought to raise Europe’s share of global semiconductor production to 20 percent by 2030. But the European Court of Auditors has w

Today, I’m talking with New York Governor Kathy Hochul, and I’ll just warn you — this episode moves really fast. It’s an election year, after all, with a shocking amount of tech policy at stake, and Governor Hochul has taken strong positions on almost every major tech issue there is. For example, Meta just [reached a settlement](https://www.theverge.com/policy/985032/meta-state-ag-kids-online-safety-settlement) with dozens of states, including New York, which will restrict how teens use platforms like Instagram in very specific ways. Governor Hochul is a strong supporter of those restrictions and more, as you’ll hear. But those come with a cost — widespread age verification means adults will also have to show ID to use the internet, which will essentially make it impossible to be anonymous

Identity-based attack techniques were responsible for 85 per cent of ransomware attacks against education institutions over the past year, above the 79 per cent cross-sector average, a new report by [Sophos](https://www.sophos.com/) has found. The **State of Ransomware in Education 2026** report showed that techniques including malicious email, phishing, compromised credentials and brute-force attacks were the dominant path into education institutions. Malicious email was the leading technical root cause of ransomware attacks in both lower education (31 per cent) and higher education (29 per cent), and 77 per cent of higher education organisations and 71 per cent of lower education organisations said their ransomware incident was also their most significant identity attack. ## Slower recov

Nvidia is investing $3.5 billion into Taiwanese chipmaker MediaTek.

Instagram is replacing its "AI creator" tag with a new "AI-generated profile" label because users can't tell AI profiles from real people. Singularity, defined by Instagram user competence.

A prolific hacking group has taken credit for last week’s cyberattack against U.S. pharmaceutical distribution giant McKesson, leading to the latest spill of highly sensitive health data by an American healthcare company in recent months. McKesson confirmed Friday in a[statement on its website](https://www.mckesson.com/utility/cybersecurity/customer-cybersecurity-information-center/#update) that hackers broke into several of its cloud-hosted accounts earlier in the week and exfiltrated data, and that the company expected “intermittent service degradation” related to the incident. In a separate notice to customers, the company’s chief technology officer, Francisco Fraga, said the stolen data relates to its oncology & multispecialty and medical-surgical units. The Texas-based company is one

David Lawrence was a Harvard Law student when an on-campus shooting involving a police officer sparked intense controversy over police conduct. Realizing that most policing errors occur when officers lack instant access to department rules, Lawrence dropped out to tackle the problem with AI. He teamed up with co-founders Amit Patankar, a Harvard MBA and former Google engineer, and Michael Gropman, a retired Boston police deputy chief, to launch [Blue Voice](https://bluevoice.io/)—a Boston-based AI startup that provides real-time policy guidance to officers in the field. Three years later, Blue Voice is coming out of stealth with $6 million in funding led by SignalFire and Las Olas VC. Officers at 225 county agencies across 25 states now rely on the tool daily to ensure their actions follow

The Pentagon has launched versions of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and xAI’s Grok, giving 3 million civilian and military personnel access to generative AI tools that have been tailored to “warfighter needs.” ChatGPT Mil and Grok for Government — custom versions of the popular consumer generative AI tools — are now part of GenAI.mil, a centralized, secure portal launched last year. GenAI.mil, which offered Google Gemini when it first launched, is designed to give Department of Defense employees access to commercial frontier AI models without sending sensitive government data through ordinary consumer channels. In particular, the official military version is exempt from the data collection that is difficult to avoid in consumer tech products. And according to the Department of Defense, the generative A
