Inside the Summit Where China Pitched Its AI Agenda to the World
Behind closed doors, Chinese researchers are laying the groundwork for a new global AI agendaβwithout input from the US.
In this week's Made in China newsletter: at China's flagship AI summit WAIC, the vibe was totally different from Trumpβs America-first, regulation-light vision for AI. Beijing is pitching itself as the world leader of AI safety regulation.

This AI Warps Live Video in Real Time
A startup called Decart has developed an AI model that can transform live footage. The results are mind-bendingβand poised to take over streaming.
The camera never lies but this AI model sure does, altering live video in dramatic ways. Given how quickly AI video has advanced, it may soon be difficult to believe anything you see on a livestream, TikTok, or video chat. www.wired.com/story/decart...

There should be a word to describe the nauseating feeling that the message you are reading was AI-generated. "Generaphobia" perhaps. Also, PR people, please stop using AI to write pitches.

Of course. But unfortunately I think the current strategy may also pose a long-term risk to the strength of US companies and the US economy.

The AI Race Has Gotten Crowdedβand China Is Closing In on the US
New research from Stanford suggests artificial intelligence isnβt ruled by just OpenAI and Google, as competition increases across the US, China, and France.
While the US puts up barriers to the rest of the world, the rest of the world shows it can offer increasingly competitive AI. If isolationism and attacks on higher-ed continue, the US might soon find itself playing catchup. www.wired.com/story/stanfo...

Trumpβs Tariffs Are Threatening the US Semiconductor Revival
While the White House carved out a narrow exemption for some semiconductor imports, President Donald Trumpβs sweeping tariffs still apply to GPUs and chipmaking equipment.
Think semiconductors are spared from the tariffs? Think again.
WIRED found that the list of exempted imports contains only a narrow range of items, omitting key products like GPUs, servers, lithography machines. It makes building data centers & chip plants harder.

Will all the money supposedly being saved be returned to taxpayers somehow? Or might it perhaps justify some wildly expensive new project like a manned mission to Mars?

US to Introduce New Restrictions on Chinaβs Access to Cutting-Edge Chips

The First Entirely AI-Generated Video Game Is Insanely Weird and Fun
Generative AI may transform video game design, but the first playable title is just bizarre and fascinating.
The video game Oasis (not sure if it's a nod to Ready Player One) is entirely generated by an AI model, which means you can explore by tricking the underlying model into hallucinating new scenes--a fevered kind of generative lucid-dreaming. www.wired.com/story/first-...
