NO.1 Grok to be fully open to X platform Premium members

Elon Musk said that Grok, the chatbot of his AI startup xAI, will be open to all Premium members of the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) later this week. Musk posted the news on X platform, but did not disclose more details. Previously, the chatbot was only open to "Premium+" users.

Commentary: This decision is beneficial to X platform paying users and enhances the platform's attractiveness, but the specific impact remains to be seen.

NO.2 AI training chips too concentrated to cause grid collapse

Kyle Corbitt, co-founder of AI startup OpenPipe, revealed that he communicated with a Microsoft engineer in charge of the GPT-6 training cluster project, and the latter said that it is very troublesome to configure infinite bandwidth links between GPUs in different regions. But if more than 100,000 Nvidia H100 chips are deployed in a state, it will lead to a local grid collapse.

Commentary: The concentrated development of AI computing power has caused safety hazards to the power grid, and it needs to be planned and deployed carefully.

NO.3 Think tank: AI may lead to 8 million job losses in the UK

As many as 8 million UK workers are at risk of losing their jobs to artificial intelligence with current government policy, the Institute for Public Policy Research warned. 

AI already impacts 11% of tasks done by UK staff, a figure that could rise to almost 60% if firms integrate the technology more deeply, the think tank said in a report published Wednesday. Part-time, entry level and back-office jobs such as customer service are most at risk but higher-paying work will increasingly be affected.

Commentary: The government needs to take measures to deal with the unemployment risks brought about by the large-scale application of AI.

NO.4 Single-molecule transistor based on quantum interference unveiled

A team of scientists from the UK and Canada have developed a new type of single-molecule transistor that uses quantum interference to control the flow of electrons. Traditional transistor manufacturing methods have reached their limits, and due to the quantum tunneling effect, electrons can leak even when the transistor is turned off. The research team used quantum interference to develop a new type of transistor that eliminates the effects of quantum tunneling.

Commentary: This breakthrough is expected to lead to the development of new transistors that are smaller, faster and more energy-efficient than existing devices, to create a new generation of electronic devices.

NO.5 Three AI encryption companies to merge tokens

According to foreign media reports, SingularityNET, Fetch.ai and Ocean Protocol, three AI companies operating on the blockchain, are discussing merging their tokens into the ASI token, with a fully diluted value of approximately $7.5 billion.

Commentary: This move aims to help the three companies develop a decentralized AI platform.
