Artificial Intelligence

Militaries around the world will face competitive pressures to increase their reliance on AI, but to avoid catastrophe, its use must be guided by laws, rules, and norms

The technology powering our current industrial revolution needs so much energy and water that data centres are now competing with cities, with the environment and net-zero targets losing out

Two contradictions could stymie the AI chipmaker-in-chief

Digital twins are starting to pop up everywhere. Among other things, they monitor the health of jet engines on airliners and replicate Amazon's extensive supply chain

It will have to deal with trustbusters, catch up on AI and revive its core business

It has some advantages. But it is entering a crowded field

Artificial Intelligence is helping human endeavour in all manner of fields but the technology is no longer in its infancy and should be equalising imbalances, not accentuating them.

With a market value of over $3tn, the chip maker is at the forefront of the global embrace of Artificial Intelligence. However, the competition ahead will be fierce.

TCS, Infosys and others try to harness the technology first

Semiconductors used in the chips powering the Artificial Intelligence-led technology revolution are critical for both countries and companies, yet self-reliance in this sector seems unattainable
