AI driving 'largest infra buildout', needs trillions in investment: Huang

: 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. In a recent blog post, Huang argued AI has evolved past being a simple application or a single model, and must now be viewed as essential infrastructure akin to electricity and the internet. "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

Pentagon row bolsters Anthropic reputation but flags AI military readiness

Anthropic's moral stand on US military use of artificial intelligence is reshaping the competition between leading AI companies but also exposing a growing awareness that maybe chatbots just aren't capable enough for acts of war. Anthropic's chatbot Claude, for the first time, outpaced rival ChatGPT in phone app downloads in the United States this week, a signal of growing interest from consumers siding with Anthropic in its standoff with the Pentagon, according to market research firm Sensor Tower. The Trump administration on Friday ordered government agencies to stop using Claude and designated it a supply chain risk after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei refused to bend his company's ethical safeguards preventing the technology from being applied to autonomous weapons and domestic mass surveillance. Anthropic has said it will challenge the Pentagon in court once it receives formal notice of the penalties. And while many military and human rights experts have applauded Amodei for standi

Age appropriateness key while introducing AI in school education: Experts

Schools should integrate artificial intelligence education and awareness in an age-appropriate manner across classes, but access should be allowed to only vetted AI tools within secure school ecosystems, according to education experts. Shishir Jaipuria, Chairman, Jaipuria Group of Educational Institutions, said schools must educate students about data privacy, misinformation, algorithmic bias and intellectual property. "Schools should integrate AI education and awareness in an age-appropriate manner across grades. Access should be allowed to only vetted AI tools within secure school ecosystems. To effectively make AI usage safe for students, teachers have to be upskilled for a better understanding of the guardrails required," he told PTI.
