A University of Zurich study used AI-generated posts on a Reddit forum to test if people could be persuaded to change their minds. The university's ethics committee reviewed the study and made recommendations, but the researchers did not heed them. The committee advised the researchers to better justify their approach, inform participants, and comply with platform rules. The study violated Reddit's rules and the subreddit's policy against undisclosed AI use. The principal investigator received a formal warning, and the university's ethics committee will implement a more rigorous review process. Reddit banned accounts associated with the study and is reaching out to the university with formal legal demands. The researchers have decided not to publish their findings.

NVIDIA's DOCA Argus provides real-time threat detection for AI workloads using BlueField DPUs, enhancing security without impacting performance. As AI adoption increases, securing the "AI factory" infrastructure is crucial. DOCA software framework on BlueField DPUs delivers next-generation security, leveraging DPU architecture to offload and accelerate data-centric operations. This approach differs from traditional CPU-based security, which can introduce overhead and vulnerability. NVIDIA DOCA Argus operates entirely on the BlueField DPU, delivering real-time threat detection up to 1,000 times faster than traditional solutions without impacting system performance. Its agentless design reduces operational complexity and the attack surface, remaining invisible to attackers even if the host system is compromised. Integration with enterprise security platforms enables continuous monitoring and automated threat mitigation. NVIDIA and Cisco are collaborating to create secure AI systems by adding security at every level, from hardware to software. This joint architecture provides a foundation for enterprises to scale AI while safeguarding valuable data. The shift to using DPUs for security marks a significant change, allowing businesses to detect threats in real-time without agents, improving security while maintaining performance and efficiency.

Intel is facing financial difficulties and plans to cut jobs to reduce bureaucracy and keep up with the fast-paced AI industry. The company reported a loss of approximately €720m in the first quarter of this year and expects further losses. Intel has struggled to compete with competitors such as ARM and Nvidia, and has lost market share in the PC industry to AMD. The company is attempting to refocus on engineering and streamline its decision-making processes, with a renewed focus on AI chip development. Intel's new facility in Kildare, Ireland, will focus on manufacturing AI chips, and the company's CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, believes that this could yield positive results for the workforce in Ireland. However, the company's financial struggles and plans to cut jobs have raised concerns about the impact on employees.

The US tariffs announced by President Donald Trump have caused market instability and raised concerns about the country's attractiveness as an investment destination. However, the 90-day pause on most tariffs presents an opportunity for the White House to negotiate new trade and investment deals with friendly countries. The America First Investment Policy (AFIP) aims to create a new alliance of capital that isolates China and other US adversaries by making investment in the US easier and more attractive, particularly in technology and manufacturing. The policy seeks to substantially open up and fast-track friendly investment in US industry and financial assets, while setting rules and guardrails to prevent economic manipulation by adversaries. The administration expects future economic allies to align with its views on trade imbalances, China, and investment in US industrial rejuvenation. Potential economic allies may include countries like Argentina, Israel, Japan, and Saudi Arabia. Early signs of new foreign direct investment include Saudi Arabia's interest in deploying $600 million in new investments in the US industrial base and Hyundai's announcement of $21 billion in new investments in steel, automotive technologies, and artificial intelligence. However, conflicts over tariffs could still impede investments, and the administration's actions have not been helpful in maintaining a stable investment environment. The attractiveness of US assets has been directly related to respect for the rule of law and the stability of the US investment system. The administration should prioritize transparency, fair play, and respect for the rule of law to make the US an attractive destination for investment. By building out its new investment policy and resolving the tariff shock, the Trump administration can harness friendly foreign capital to drive US innovation and growth while closing the door to countries and entities that seek to harm US national and economic security.

The trade war between China and the US may have a significant impact on Nigerian entrepreneurs. With 27.8% of Nigeria's imports coming from China in 2024, and US exports to Nigeria reaching $4.2 billion, a diversion of Chinese products to Nigeria could be beneficial for consumers but harmful to local entrepreneurs. Chinese goods, often produced at below-cost prices due to subsidies and state support, could undercut Nigerian products in sectors such as textiles, furniture, footwear, and beauty products. Nigerian entrepreneurs face challenges such as weak infrastructure, high inflation, and a poor business environment, making it difficult for them to compete with cheap Chinese goods. To mitigate these effects, entrepreneurs can identify niche market needs, focus on customer service, embrace innovation, diversify supply chains, and explore new export markets. By adapting to global shifts and focusing on value creation, Nigerian businesses can thrive despite the challenges posed by the trade war.

A University of Chicago study found that generative AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT, have had minimal impact on wages and employment. The study of 25,000 workers in Denmark across 11 AI-exposed occupations found no significant changes in earnings or hours worked. While AI adoption increased with company-led investments, the average time savings was only 2.8%, and new job creation was limited to 8.4% of workers. The researchers noted that the overall impact on the labor market remains limited, and that a company's approach to AI can dictate its success.
