China is reportedly providing massive electricity subsidies to data centers using domestic AI chips from Huawei and Cambricon. These chips are significantly less power efficient than NVIDIA’s alternatives, creating huge energy costs that the government is now covering. The subsidies appear designed
Shopify’s aggressive AI push is delivering staggering results, with traffic from AI tools up 7x since January and AI-driven purchases jumping 11x. The e-commerce platform calls AI the “biggest shift in technology since the internet” and is betting everything on what it calls “agentic commerce.”
The AI hype cycle is ending in APAC, replaced by strategic implementation focused on digital sovereignty and core business functions. Leaders are preparing for quantum computing while scaling practical AI solutions across their organizations. The region’s complex regulatory landscape is driving this
Two major data and AI consultancies, Indicium and Mesh-AI, have announced plans to merge in early 2026. The new entity, Indicium AI, will combine operations across North America, Latin America, and Europe to serve large enterprises. The move comes as companies shift from narrow AI experiments to ent
Researchers have developed an AI system that pinpoints the best locations for forage cultivation in northern China’s water-scarce regions. The framework combines satellite data with ecological models to balance water use, crop yield, and soil health. It could revolutionize farming in arid zones worl
Artificial general intelligence is being treated like a modern-day conspiracy theory, with believers convinced it’s just years away. Meanwhile, China’s whole-of-society approach to AI development suggests the West might be underestimating its potential dominance.
Google’s quantum computer has discovered a strange new phase of matter that only exists out of equilibrium. This breakthrough demonstrates quantum computers aren’t just computational tools—they’re becoming experimental laboratories for fundamental physics.
Companies are pouring AI into broken systems and wondering why it doesn’t work. The real breakthrough is happening in workflow automation, not just content generation. Jasper’s new Grid platform shows where enterprise AI is actually heading.
Microsoft has rolled out voice support for Copilot in its mobile apps, enabling natural conversations with the AI assistant. You can now interrupt Copilot mid-sentence and get spoken responses in real time.
