The University of California, Berkeley, has established partnerships with Chinese universities to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing. However, concerns among the U.S. business community are growing over relying on technology supply chains based in China, citing issues such as intellectual property theft and cybersecurity risks.

Discovery's European sports arm create Cycling Central Intelligence, a tool that processes hundreds of documents to help mountain bike racing commentators access information through natural language queries. The result was significantly reduced research time and enhanced storytelling capabilities. The event featured panels with speakers including Dawn Aponte, NFL Chief Football Administrative Officer, and Gerard Medioni, VP and Distinguished Scientist at AWS Applications, who discussed AI's role in live sports and the importance of working backward from customer needs to avoid failed experiments.

Researchers have found that attackers can craft emails to appear urgent and from a business, using techniques such as setting font size to zero and text color to white to make prompts invisible to users but actionable by Gemini. Experts recommend configuring email clients to detect and neutralize hidden content in message bodies, and implementing post-processing filters to scan inboxes for suspicious elements like "urgent messages," URLs, or phone numbers to bolster defenses against such threats.

He praises DeepSeek's open-source R1 model, which can be fine-tuned to address concerns about its training in China. This suggests that Huang sees AI becoming increasingly commoditized, making cheaper Chinese offerings more attractive globally. The focus should shift from which model performs best on benchmarks to whose AI is most widely used worldwide, a concern for Silicon Valley.
