: Artificial Intelligence is sparking the "largest infrastructure buildout in human history," requiring trillions of dollars in investment and creating massive demand for skilled blue-collar labour, NVIDIA Founder and CEO Jensen Huang has said.

"We have only just begun this buildout. We are a few hundred billion dollars into it. Trillions of dollars of infrastructure still need to be built. Around the world, we are seeing chip factories, computer assembly plants and AI factories being constructed at unprecedented scale. This is becoming the largest infrastructure buildout in human history," Huang wrote. Huang conceptualised AI as a "five-layer cake" comprising energy, chips, infrastructure, models, and applications. He emphasised that energy forms the foundational layer and remains the "binding
Meta said on Wednesday it is acquiring Moltbook, a social network built exclusively for artificial intelligence agents to make posts and interact with each other.

In a landmark move to address the complexities of the Artificial Intelligence era, the Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE) has published the 'Cyber Safety Protocol 2026'. KITE is the technology wing of the General Education Department of the state government. This comprehensive framework is designed to ensure a secure digital learning environment and robust cyber defences for students across Kerala's public school system, an official statement said here on Sunday. Developed through a meticulous analysis of emerging AI-driven challenges and cybercrimes, the protocol aligns with existing legal standards to provide targeted directives for institutional heads, teachers, parents, and students, it said. KITE CEO K Anvar Sadath said the initiative encompasses 13 core objectives, including fostering awareness regarding the risks of sharing confidential data with Generative AI, cultivating critical thinking toward digital content, identifying misinformation, and nurtur
