In a recent interview, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, issued an eye-catching warning. He stated that with the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, within the next five years, half of the entry-level white-collar jobs may be replaced, and the unemployment rate could soar to 10% to 20%. Amodei emphasized that many workers are not aware that this change is coming, and many people find it hard to believe. Image source notes: The image was generated by AI.

According to TechPolicy, the U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed a bill called HR1 with 215 votes in favor and 214 votes against. The bill will ban any state in the United States from regulating artificial intelligence (AI) within the next ten years. This decision means that no laws or regulations regarding AI models, AI systems, or automated decision-making systems can be implemented by any state or its related political institutions within the next decade. The passage of this bill is favorable for many tech giants such as Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, and Amazon.

Xiaopeng Motors chairman He Xiaopeng recently announced that the company's fully self-developed Turing AI chip will be mass-produced and launched in the second quarter of this year. This progress comes as the automotive industry accelerates the application of end-to-end intelligent driving technology and the scale of AI large models continues to expand. Xiaopeng Motors is building its strongest AI brain by simultaneously developing a world base model with 35 times the parameters of mainstream VLA models, and a self-developed chip with computing power equivalent to three Nvidia Orin Xs, which is about to be mass-produced.

According to Bloomberg, OpenAI is making a massive investment in its first infrastructure project, dubbed "Stargate," with an estimated cost of $100 billion. The project's first data center complex, located in the small Texas town of Abilene, is planned to house up to 400,000 powerful Nvidia AI chips. Once fully operational, it will be one of the world's largest AI computing centers. Image Note: Image generated by AI, image licensing service Midjourney.

Meta is reportedly testing a self-designed chip for training AI systems, a move to lessen its reliance on hardware vendors like Nvidia. According to Reuters, the chip, manufactured in collaboration with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), is specifically designed for AI workloads. Currently undergoing small-scale testing, Meta plans to expand production if the tests are successful. Image caption.

Apple has officially launched the long-awaited fourth-generation iPhone SE upgrade - the iPhone 16e. Unlike previous versions, this device no longer carries the 'SE' brand name and aligns directly with Apple's flagship series. The starting price for the new model is $599, with shipping expected to begin on February 28. A key highlight of the iPhone 16e is its incorporation of 'Apple Intelligence', a feature similar to OpenAI.

The US technology policy sector is undergoing significant adjustments. Recently, Michael Kratsios, a researcher at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (Stanford HAI), was appointed as the Director of the White House Office of Technology Policy, and will also serve as the incoming Presidential Technology Advisor for the Trump administration. This appointment has garnered widespread attention, marking the growing influence of top AI researchers on national technology policy. Trump is bringing back former officials to restructure the technology team, in addition to Michael Kratsios.

With the development of digital art, automated image processing technology has received increasing attention. Recently, a research team from Tsinghua University and Tencent's ARC Lab proposed a novel image sequence coloring model called ColorFlow. This model aims to address the challenge of maintaining consistency in character and object identity while coloring black and white image sequences, fulfilling the practical needs of industries such as comics and animation. ColorFlow is a three-stage diffusion base framework that leverages contextual information by utilizing a reference image pool for black and white.

According to Axios, former President Trump is considering appointing an 'AI Commissioner' to better coordinate federal government regulation and application in the field of artificial intelligence. The establishment of this commissioner would help accelerate the government's goals in AI policy, as this position does not require Senate confirmation.

It is understood that this AI Commissioner position may be merged with the 'Cryptocurrency Commissioner' role under consideration.

According to a report by The Information, OpenAI is planning to launch an in-house browser powered by an AI chatbot to directly challenge Google's search market. This move highlights OpenAI's ambitions in the search domain and is also a significant step in expanding its ecosystem. Sources indicate that OpenAI is in discussions with platforms such as Condé Nast, Redfin, Eventbrite, and Priceline for potential collaborations in travel, food, and housing.
