The Bombay High Court on Tuesday said it would hear on August 5 Union Minister Nitin Gadkari's suit against Meta, X Corp, Google LLC and unknown persons for "defamatory" deepfakes and AI-generated posts uploaded against him over the ethanol policy.

The Bombay High Court on Monday permitted Union Minister Nitin Gadkari to file a civil suit against Meta Platforms, X Corp, Google LLC and other unknown persons over "defamatory" deepfakes and AI-generated posts uploaded against him.

AMD sees compute market zooming to $2 trn by 2030, launches new products

Growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) across all spheres is set to take the overall market for compute infrastructure to USD 2 trillion by 2030 from USD 365 billion in 2025, global semiconductor major AMD said on Thursday. Eyeing the 40 per cent compounded annual growth in the market that it expects, the company unveiled a slew of products, including advanced microprocessors at its annual Advancing AI Summit here. Lisa Su, the Chairman and Chief Executive of the company that has been competing with bigger rival Nvidia, said AI had moved beyond chatbots to reasoning models and was now entering the era of agentic AI, where AI systems autonomously execute multi-step tasks, dramatically increasing demand for computing power. "AI is the most important technology of the last 50 years, and frankly, the progress that we're seeing in the industry is just incredible.
