The AI investment race is building its own bust, BIS paper warns (Digitimes)
|
|
|
The competitive race to dominate artificial intelligence is driving technology giants to over-build computing capacity by roughly half again more than is economically efficient — and the same contest, financed with debt and circular equity ties, is quietly manufacturing the conditions for a sector-wide bust. That is the central argument of a new Bank for International Settlements (BIS) working paper that puts formal numbers on a warning the institution has been sounding for weeks....

Memory must adopt foundry model to fix AI inference bottleneck, says Korean scholar (Digitimes)
|
|
|
AI development is driving larger data transfers and higher GPU efficiency demands, pushing memory toward customization and prompting South Korean industry watchers to call for a shift to a "memory foundry" model. Sungkyunkwan University professor Seokjoon Kwon said at the Nano Korea 2026 forum that memory makers must move from mass production to order-driven design tailored to customer needs....

Three-tier humanoid robot architecture shift opens edge AI opportunities (Digitimes)
|
|
|
The humanoid robot industry is converging on a "big brain, small brain" architecture, with AI compute shifting from the cloud to the edge, and even to hands, feet, and other endpoints. DIGITIMES Intelligence predicts that Nvidia's CUDA will keep it dominant in the robot "big brain" layer for now, but automotive chipmakers and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) vendors can still target the "small brain" and endpoint edge-compute market to break into the humanoid robot ecosystem....

Flock Safety Defends Cameras After AI System Triggers Wrongful Police Stops Of Two Journalists
Plymouth, Minnesota - Automotive journalist Joel Feder and his wife were detained by multiple police officers in a coordinated stop while driving a Jaguar Land Rover press vehicle, after Flock Safety's automated license plate recognition (ALPR) cameras flagged the car based on a flawed database entry.

According to Feder's detailed account in The Drive, officers boxed in the $155,000 Range Rover in a Kohl's parking lot after the vehicle triggered alerts via Flock's network. Police had been tracking it for days, believing the New Jersey manufacturer plate (34 10 DTM) was stolen. Officers approached with hands on their weapons, ordered the couple out of the vehicle, and conducted pat-downs before verifying the car's legitimacy through Jaguar Land Rover. Feder subsequently obtained and published the body camera footage of the encounter.

The Supreme Court's AI Collision Course
Authored by Brian Boyle via RealClearPolitics,
Imagine a tight House race in a swing state. In the final weeks of the campaign, a new super PAC begins spending heavily against the incumbent. It runs ads on local television and reaches individual voters with highly tailored texts. The messaging is hard-hitting and seems to be swaying the electorate. None of it traces back to the opposing campaign.
It also doesn't trace back to any human operative. The super PAC is funded by a single LLC whose donor cannot be identified, and its spending decisions are being made by an AI agent that has been given a budget and a political objective and is now operating without any meaningful human direction. The "consultants" placing the ads are software. The text messages were crafted by the AI.
This is not a hypothetical we will face in some distant future. The technology already exists. A wealthy person, foreign government, or corporation that wants to influe...

Der DeepSeek-2.0-Moment ist da (Der Aktionaer)
|
|
|
Am Freitag hat das chinesische KI-Start-up Moonshot AI auf der World Artificial Intelligence Conference mit seinem neuen Modell Kimi-K3 begeistert. Kimi-K3 ist in den High-End-Modelle von OpenAI (GPT-5.6 Sol) und Anthropic (Fable 5) in sämtlichen Benchmark-Tests mindestens ebenbürtig oder übertrifft diese sogar... --- Der deutsche KI-Experte Kim Isenberg, beschrieb die Veröffentlichung von Kimi-K3 auf der Social-Media-Plattform X sogar als „DeepSeek-2.0-Moment“. Der Grund dafür ist, dass Kimi-K3 nicht nur mit den US-Modellen mithalten kann, sondern auch noch rund 60 bis 70 Prozent günstiger ist..
