Deutsche Telekom and Nvidia are partnering to build an industrial artificial intelligence cloud in Germany, with implementation set to begin by 2026. The project will be the first of its kind in Europe, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has already met with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to discuss the plan. Deutsche Telekom will provide infrastructure, data centers, sales, security, and AI solutions, while Nvidia will supply 10,000 chips for the site.

The software development sector dominates India's formal hiring space, accounting for nearly one in every five job postings on Indeed. Generative AI-related roles are emerging across various sectors, including tech and data analytics, scientific research, marketing, and management. Regional hubs such as Karnataka and Telangana have become key centers for generative AI opportunities, while Maharashtra leads in overall job volumes.

The strategy aims to integrate participatory mechanisms to ensure the inclusion of underrepresented voices and provide a comprehensive framework for governance. This collaboration reflects a shift in global technological policy influence, with Kenya positioning itself as a leader in developing an AI system that is both sovereign and globally relevant.

The bill would require companies to provide detailed information on their AI systems, including data sources, algorithms, and decision-making processes.

Meta will hold a minority stake in Scale AI following the investment deal. Mark Zuckerberg highlighted Meta's generative artificial intelligence assistant, used by over a billion people each month across its platforms.

The union's Interactive Media Agreement (IMA) includes requirements for informed consent when deploying AI technology, allowing performers to suspend consent during a strike, effectively sending their digital counterparts to the picket line. The agreement also sets minimum compensation rates for the reuse of visual performances and provides compounded increases in pay over several years, with a 15.17% increase followed by additional 3% raises in 2025, 2026, and 2027.

The company aims to build a competing line of hardware by acquiring server maker ZT Systems and expanding its software capabilities, including the ROCm platform. AMD's senior vice president of AI, Vamsi Boppana, emphasizes that this is a multi-generational journey to achieve success in the field.

The Helios servers will have 72 of AMD's MI400 series chips, comparable to Nvidia's NVL72 servers. AMD is making its networking standards openly available, a move seen as a direct swipe at market leader Nvidia. Su was joined by OpenAI's Sam Altman, who discussed improving the design of AI work with AMD's MI450 chips. Executives from xAI, Meta Platforms, and Oracle also attended the conference to discuss their uses of AMD processors.
