In today's development of artificial intelligence (AI), the speed of data transmission has become a significant bottleneck hindering its progress. To break through this barrier, a research team led by the University of Michigan (U-M) is developing a brand new chip connection system that uses optical waves instead of traditional cables for data transmission. This innovation is expected to address the 'memory wall' problem that limits computational speed and promote further growth of AI models. The project has received a $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation's Future Semiconductor program, with participation from the University of Washington and Penn State.

Li Liyun, head of intelligent driving at Xpeng Motors, recently disclosed the company's autonomous driving development timeline for the first time, announcing plans to offer pseudo-autonomous driving capabilities on the Max series models by 2025, making Xpeng the first domestic car manufacturer to set a clear timeline for the rollout of autonomous driving. Li stated that Xpeng is currently on the 'eve of unmanned driving'. Based on a firm belief in the Scaling Law of autonomous driving, Xpeng has chosen a pure vision technology route for intelligent driving. He believes that with the accumulation of massive amounts of data and continuous improvement in cloud and vehicle computing power, the transition will be feasible.

In product teams, the backlog of screen recordings and screenshots often goes unnoticed, with video creation being both time-consuming and costly. However, two former Microsoft employees saw an opportunity in this market and decided to launch an AI tool called Lica, which easily transforms screenshots and recordings into engaging tutorials and product videos. This startup was founded in 2023 by Priyaa Kalyanaraman and Purvanshi Mehta, both ex-Microsoft employees.

Elon Musk, the world's richest man and a seasoned gaming enthusiast, recently expressed his dissatisfaction with the current state of the gaming industry on social media. He announced that his company, xAI, will establish a new AI game studio aimed at revitalizing the gaming sector. Musk criticized how many game studios have been acquired by large corporations, resulting in game content being influenced by commercial and political factors. He urged developers to focus on the quality and enjoyment of games themselves, bypassing woke agendas.

Recently, The Wall Street Journal has been conducting a new experiment by introducing AI-generated article summaries that appear at the top of news reports in the form of 'key points.' The first test of this feature appeared in a report about Trump's Department of Education plans. To validate the effectiveness of this new feature, The Wall Street Journal has opened feedback channels to understand users' actual needs. The content of these 'key point' summaries is generated by AI tools and edited before publication. The summary box clearly indicates this.
