China′s AI compute surge heavily reliant on US chips, offshore cloud access: report (SCMP)
|
|
|
China's access to artificial intelligence computing power will double next year, but US-designed chips will account for about 65 per cent of that capacity, an indication of its continued reliance on foreign hardware, according to new research.

Selling Gas Twice: Venture Global Courts Qatar While Plotting A $160 Billion AI Power Empire
Seven months ago, Qatar was the world's biggest LNG seller. Now it's a buyer.
According to a Reuters scoop late Thursday, QatarEnergy is in advanced talks with Venture Global (VG) on a long-term supply deal for at least 3 million tons of LNG a year, sourced from VG's CP2 plant, which is still under construction in Louisiana. The report landed just hours after QatarEnergy signed a separate deal with Cheniere (LNG) for up to 4 million tons a year through 2054. VG shares jumped more than 6% on Friday, and they have now roughly doubled this year. Then again, they're still trading about 45% below their $25 IPO price.
Venture Global's other headline this month is that it wants to get into AI data centers... in a very big way. Goldman thinks both stories come back to the same molecule. Below we summarize what Goldman's LNG team has been telling clients about each (available to pro subs), and why we th...

Appeals Court Allows Mississippi Ban On DEI, Removes Judge Over AI Use
Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times,
Mississippi can enforce a law prohibiting some diversity practices in schools, a federal appeals court ruled on Oct. 22 in a decision that also removed the judge overseeing the case over the use of artificial intelligence.

Rory Doyle/AFP via Getty ImagesThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruling overturned a 2025 decision from U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate that blocked the state from enforcing a law restricting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices.
The law, H.B. 1193, bars schools and colleges from promoting DEI through classes and administrators from punishing students for their views on DEI.
Wingate said the law violated the constitutional rights of teachers and students, siding with plaintiffs such as the Jackson Federation of Teachers.
The Fifth Circuit disagreed.
