- AI Worms and Viruses Are Coming
Chinese researchers have demonstrated that AI models can function as aggressive and adaptive computer viruses, highlighting potential security risks associated with AI technologies.
- China’s optical chip breakthrough boosts AI speed 100-fold using fraction of compute power
Chinese researchers developed an all-optical interconnect system that boosts AI distributed inference speeds by over 100 times while using one-ninth of typical computational resources. The breakthrough addresses the industry's growing demand for computational power, which has traditionally relied on expanding GPU usage and data centres.
- China’s rare earth industry has critical weakness, researchers warn
China’s rare earth industry, despite its dominance in mining, refining, and exports, faces critical weaknesses in mastering key core technologies, according to a study by Chinese researchers published in the Bulletin of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
- ‘China Initiative 2.0’: US crackdown on Chinese scholars intensifies
The US government has intensified its crackdown on Chinese scientists and researchers, a campaign described as 'China Initiative 2.0' by immigration lawyers and activists. This effort is seen as more aggressive than the original 'China Initiative' launched during President Donald Trump's first term. Robert Fisher, a former Assistant US Attorney and partner at Nixon Peabody, stated the current phase is part of a new era in the campaign.
- Chinese researchers claim breakthrough in training household robots with AI-generated homes
Chinese researchers developed Kairos-HomeWorld, a framework for generating simulation-ready home environments using text prompts, potentially advancing household robot training. The technology addresses a data bottleneck in robotics and could accelerate home robot adoption.
- Huawei and scientists build 2D parallel computing chip that rewrites Moore’s Law
Chinese researchers and Huawei have developed the world's first 2D semiconductor-based parallel processor, potentially overcoming Moore’s Law limitations by using atom-thin materials like molybdenum disulfide to enable efficient electron movement.
