futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-19 13:04:59

Fifty percent say AI will deteriorate our ability to form meaningful relationships, while only five percent believe the reverse. While 29 percent of respondents said they believe AI will make people better problem-solvers,

Nvidia Appeals to Trump With a $5 Billion Intel Stake

gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2025-09-20 01:10:23

Nvidia became one of competitor Intel’s largest shareholders on Thursday with a $5 billion stake. The two companies will collaborate to jointly develop PC chips and data centers. Once the dominant name in chips, Intel had been in a steady decline in recent years as it failed to keep up with peers like Nvidia in the AI race. The company started its official turnaround strategy last year by ousting its previous CEO Pat Gelsinger, who was eventually replaced by Lip Bu-Tan a few months later. Las

Nvidia Just Suffered a Huge Blow in China

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-20 16:04:35

For years, the Chinese tech industry has been dependent on the US and its allies for the advanced semiconductors — colloquially known as "chips" — that undergird the AI industry. As the "AI race" has heated up to a fever pitch, chips have become its chief commodity — and bottleneck, as companies compete to build out the infrastructure they believe will run a multi-trillion dollar market. At the moment, the undisputed leader in AI chips is Nvidia, which has rocketed it from modestly-sized gamin

Given the draconian cuts to US federal funding for science, it’s worth asking some hard-nosed money questions: How much should we be spending on R&D? How much value do we get out of such investments, anyway? To answer that, in several recent papers, economists have approached this issue in clever new ways. And, though they ask slightly different questions, their conclusions share a bottom line: R&D is, in fact, one of the better long-term investments that the government can make. Read the full

Sure, it’s easy to argue for the importance of spending on science by pointing out that many of today’s most useful technologies had their origins in government-funded R&D. The internet, CRISPR, GPS—the list goes on and on. All true. But this argument ignores all the technologies that received millions in government funding and haven’t gone anywhere—at least not yet.
