🚨 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚’𝐬 𝐀𝐈 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐩: gap between US & China “is down to 3 months” — Lee Kai-fu, CEO of 01.AI and ex–Google China head (Reuters)

Sanctions were meant to stall. Instead, China’s DeepSeek may now be ahead in AI reasoning + novel reinforcement learning

1/2 Feels great to be back—again! I started working in Parliament as a teenager, then spent seven years reporting from Westminster for CNN. Now, im thrilled to be an Advisor to the Parliamentary Group on AI, participating in ethical and practical debates on

📢 New Research : Every 7 months, AI doubles its ability to complete long tasks.
🔹 Current models have near 100% success on tasks under 4 minutes
🔹 But <10% success on tasks over 4 hours
This explains why AI excels in benchmarks but still struggles with real-world automation.

🚨 Mercedes-Benz Makes History with Humanoid Robots on the Factory Floor 🚨

A 5’8” humanoid robot, Apollo, just completed a fully autonomous task at Mercedes-Benz’s Berlin factory—marking a major milestone for AI-driven robotics.

But this is just the beginning. 🧵👇🏼

What do AI and Greek mythology have in common?

Prometheus stole fire from the gods— fuelling human progress but also leading to chaos.

Is open-source AI our Promethean fire— powerful, transformative and impossible to take back?

I wrote about it here: diginomica.com/deepseek-and...

1/3Today, on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz—and on many other days—I think of my grandfather.

He endured four years in the camp as a political prisoner and spent the rest of his life extending to others the compassion he was denied.

Is the race for Greenland about Rare Earths?

Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are often dubbed “the new oil” for their strategic importance driving advanced innovation.

China, Brazil & Russia have some of the largest estimated reserves. Countries with less have to get creative…

The AI race is Red Queen theory in action. Biologists use this concept to describe how competitors must continuously adapt just to maintain their relative position, as everyone else is advancing. We see this in China’s ambitious 2030 AI leadership plan, driving US countermeasures…

1/ Dangerous wildfires are ripping through LA leaving communities reeling. Each year, wildfires burn a vast acreage in Southern California. More severe & frequent in recent decades. There’s a $100 billion shortfall in wildfire prevention in 2025. How could tech help bridge the gap?

1/ The UK has announced plans to criminalize the creation and sharing of explicit deepfakes amid a 400% surge. These hyper-realistic AI manipulations of images, videos and audio are often weaponized to target women and girls. Unfortunately I’ve experienced this violation firsthand.

1/ Geopolitical tensions and trade disruptions are create a dangerous spiral: tensions disrupt trade, while trade disruptions exacerbate tensions. Here’s what’s happening — and what it means for 2025: diginomica.com/fragile-web-...
