A warning sign about AI’s real cost, courtesy of Google and Amazon
TechCrunch highlights concerns about the environmental impact of artificial intelligence (AI), using recent sustainability reports from Google and Amazon as evidence. Both companies have seen significant increases in carbon emissions—25% for Google and 16% for Amazon—since last year, largely attributed to the growing energy demands of AI technologies. While neither explicitly blames AI for these rises, the reports indicate that increased energy consumption linked to AI development and deployment is a major factor. Much of the emissions increase stems from 'Scope 3' emissions, which encompass indirect sources such as purchased goods and services, including data centers and GPUs. Both firms emphasize their efforts toward renewable energy and net-zero goals, but the challenge remains substantial.
Zdaj potrebujejo samo kupce.
Nasdaq Composite Index je padel za skoraj 5%, medtem ko Wall Street sprašuje, ali bodo bilijoni dolarjev, porabljenih za infrastrukturo AI, prinesli zadostne donose. Goldman Sachs ocenjuje, da bodo tehnološka podjetja do leta 2031 vložila 7,6 bilijona dolarjev v izgradnjo novih podatkovnih centrov, vendar nedavni podatki kažejo na omejeno pripravljenost potrošnikov in podjetij, da plačajo za storitve AI. Strokovnjaki, kot je Kate Brennan iz AI Now, poudarjajo skepticizem glede obljubljenih koristi AI in ugotavljajo, da čeprav se uporaba povečuje, javna percepcija ostaja v veliki meri negativna, saj 40% Američanov verjame, da bo AI v naslednjih dveh desetletjih škodovala družbi. Poleg tega podjetja odpuščajo delavce, medtem ko vlagajo v AI, kar povzroča zaskrbljenost zaradi vplivov na delovna mesta.
Tri stvari, ki jih je treba opazovati med Antropicovim najnovejšim sporom z vlado
Anthropic, podjetje za umetno inteligenco s sedežem v ZDA, je razvilo napredni model umetne inteligence, imenovan Mythos, ki je pokazal izjemne zmogljivosti pri ravnanju s kodo. Zaradi zaskrbljenosti zaradi morebitnih tveganj za kibernetsko varnost je Anthropic delil omejen dostop s strokovnjaki za kibernetsko varnost, preden je javno izdal spremenjeno različico, imenovano Fable. Vendar pa je ameriška vlada hitro intervenirala, navedla je nacionalne varnostne pomisleke in uvedla izvozne omejitve za Fable. Anthropic je nato preklical dostop do obeh modelov. Ta incident je sprožil razprave o širših posledicah regulacije umetne inteligence, nekateri pa trdijo, da je bil vladni odziv preveč reaktiven, ne pa dobro načrtovan. Poleg tega je dogodek sprožil vprašanja o zanesljivosti ameriških podjetij za umetno inteligenco, kar je spodbudilo evropske voditelje, da razmislijo o pospeševanju lastnih prizadevanj za razvoj umetne inteligence. Medtem so modeli z odprtim virom iz Kitajske pridobili pozornost zaradi njihove dostopnosti in dostopnosti, ki lahko vplivajo na globalne strategije umetne inteligence.
Zmanjšanje umetne inteligence se kaže tudi v številkah delovnih mest
Članek razpravlja o naraščajočem vplivu umetne inteligence (AI) na ameriški trg dela, kar dokazujejo nedavni podatki o zaposlovanju in poročilih o odpuščanju. Junija je ameriško gospodarstvo dodalo manj delovnih mest, kot se je pričakovalo, s padci, ki so jih opazili v sektorjih, ki močno uporabljajo AI, kot so finance in informacijska tehnologija. Urad za statistiko dela (BLS) je poročal, da sta ta dva sektorja skupaj izgubila približno 150.000 delovnih mest leta 2026, čeprav je splošna rast zaposlovanja ostala stabilna zaradi povečanja gradbene dejavnosti.
How the world's top AI models were revived
This article discusses the controversy surrounding the United States' attempt to restrict access to Anthropic's advanced AI models, Mythos and Fable, due to alleged security risks. The conflict began when Amazon, Anthropic's partner and investor, raised concerns about a 'jailbreaking' vulnerability that could compromise the AI's safety mechanisms. These concerns were escalated to the Trump administration, leading to the imposition of export controls. However, cybersecurity experts later pointed out that similar vulnerabilities exist in other major AI models. After a prolonged negotiation involving multiple government agencies, Anthropic managed to have its models reinstated on June 12, following additional safety measures. The situation involved high-level political engagement, including interactions between Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, as well as efforts by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to facilitate resolution.
Signals Meredith Whittaker želi, da se spomnite, da AI chatbots niso vaši prijatelji
Predsednica podjetja Signal Meredith Whittaker je v intervjuju za Bloomberg opozorila, da ne bi smeli obravnavati AI chatbotov, kot sta ChatGPT in Claude, kot da bi bili prijatelji ali zavestni entiteti. Poudarila je, da ti sistemi niso čustveni in jih opozarja, da se ne zanašajo na njih za kritične naloge, kot so odločanje ali komunikacija.
Zakaj Wall Street misli, da je Micron naslednja Nvidia?
Micron Technology, vodilni proizvajalec pomnilniških čipov s sedežem v ZDA, je zaradi povečanega povpraševanja po pomnilniških čipovih, ki ga je spodbudila širitev infrastrukture umetne inteligence, opazil dramatičen porast vrednosti svojih zalog. Tržna kapitalizacija Microna je začasno presegla tiste Meta in Tesla, ki so dosegle skoraj 1,27 bilijona dolarjev, čeprav je kasneje nekoliko padla. Ta rast je posledica svetovnega pomanjkanja pomnilnikov z visoko pasovno širino (HBM), ki so bistvenega pomena za strežnike AI, ki traja od leta 2026 in se pričakuje, da se bo nadaljevala do leta 2027.
Politician who investigated spyware abuses had his phone hacked with Pegasus spyware
A European politician and former journalist, Stelios Kouloglou, had his phone hacked with Pegasus spyware while serving on an investigatory committee examining the misuse of surveillance tools by European governments. Researchers from the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab confirmed the hacking occurred in 2022 and 2023, marking the first known case of a member of the European Parliament's PEGA committee being identified as a victim of spyware. Kouloglou described the incident as 'reckless,' and some lawmakers called it a direct attack on the rule of law, urging stricter regulations on spyware use. The hackers used a zero-click exploit targeting a vulnerability in Apple's iOS, which had already been patched but not applied to Kouloglou's device. While the perpetrators were not explicitly named, the use of a previously linked email address suggests potential ties to NSO Group, the Israeli firm behind Pegasus.

Mark Zuckerberg tells staff that AI agents haven’t progressed as quickly as he’d hoped
At an internal town hall, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that the development of AI agents has not progressed as rapidly as anticipated. This comes after Meta laid off around 8,000 employees and restructured another 7,000 into AI-related groups earlier this year. Zuckerberg noted that these layoffs were not as straightforward as intended, as executives feared the company was adapting too slowly to changes in the tech industry. He acknowledged that the benefits of the new AI-focused structure had not yet materialized but expressed optimism about seeing improvements within the next three to six months. Reports describe Meta's AI unit as challenging for engineers working there.

Private space pilots are flying orbital missions for the US Space Force
Two private space companies, True Anomaly and Rocket Lab, conducted a high-stakes orbital rendezvous mission for the U.S. Space Force, demonstrating advanced satellite inspection capabilities. The mission, named Victus Haze, involved Rocket Lab launching a spacecraft called Puma within 16 hours of being notified, while True Anomaly's Jackal satellite identified and closely approached Puma from 2,000 kilometers away to capture imagery. This exercise highlights growing concerns over emerging space threats from nations like China and Russia, prompting the U.S. military to rely more on private-sector innovation. The mission showcased unprecedented precision in orbital maneuvering, surpassing previous private-sector achievements, and signals future tests with increased complexity, including evasion scenarios.
