The big highlight has to be the emergence of Deepseek. Whether it builds on OpenAi and others, or whether it is entirely new is being wrangled over, but the key for us it efficiency.\u00a0\u00a0 The story is that without access to the latest superchips, the Chinese developers had to make it run on older and slower processors \u2013 and they did!\u00a0 They also made it for a fraction of the cost.\u00a0 $US6Million reportedly.\u00a0 In contrast consider Microsoft who committed $80Bn for AI data centres in 2025, or the masive \u201cThe Stargate Project\u201d<\/a> (Open AI, Oracle, SoftBank from Japan, and MGX from the UAE are all behind it) \u00a0which is a $500billion Texas-based initiative \u00a0The big impact is the power consumption. Just a month we were being told that the projected growth in AI would overwhelm the ability to supply enough electricity to the AI data centres.\u00a0 It seems that constraint might be removed.\u00a0 It turns out that Deepseek had been around since 2023, headed by Liang Wenfeng who is an engineer from Hangzhou.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Apple suspended its news summary feature after complaints that the AI-generated content included notifications that looked like they came from official news apps but included false information.\u00a0 Apple were slow to respond, initially saying they release an update that showed the summaries were AI-generated but they had to go further ad pause it altogether.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n We\u2019ve also become aware this month of ‘GhostGPT’.\u00a0\u00a0 This is an uncensored AI chatbot that is designed to conduct malicious actions like phishing scams and building malware.\u00a0 It has no censorship and no limits.\u00a0 If you ask it to write something bad, it will.
