📌 AI corporations like Amazon, Microsoft, or xAI are using Non-Disclosure Agreements to conceal data center projects, leaving residents unaware of what they are living next to. With projects consuming up to 2.2 gigawatts of electricity and millions of liters of water, this “secrecy for competition” strategy is trading community trust and the living environment for the speed of AI expansion.

📌 After years of stagnation, Nokia is “reborn” thanks to AI: the AI infrastructure segment accounts for 6% of revenue and will soon surpass traditional telecommunications. Nokia’s stock has risen 50% since July 2025, currently trading at 17 times expected 12-month earnings, nearly on par with Cisco (17.5 times) and higher than Ericsson (13 times). Nokia is seen as the “Cisco of Europe” — evidence that AI can save a once-failing telecom empire.

📌 With the fastest AI adoption rate globally, Southeast Asia is seen by Google as a “new growth engine.” From agriculture to healthcare, education, and energy, Google and DeepMind’s programs are helping the region transform AI momentum into sustainable, inclusive, and responsible growth, moving toward a prosperous digital future.

📌 The rise of AI is reshaping the global economy: “giants” like Amazon and Microsoft benefit from a 5.5% increase in productivity and a 74% surge in stock prices, while small businesses face pressure with a 12.3% decrease. This technology gap risks turning AI into a new “class barrier” in the labor market and productivity.

📌 From the “social media era” to the “artificial intelligence era,” Sam Altman’s role has transcended technology – he is shaping how we think, write, and express ourselves. If Zuckerberg once taught humanity to “live online,” Altman is now making us “think with machines,” turning AI into a co-creator of thought – and perhaps, the true Minister of Ideology of the digital age.

📌 DeepSeek is making a breakthrough by entering Africa via Huawei Cloud thanks to being many times cheaper than OpenAI, energy-saving, running on low-cost hardware, opening up AI access opportunities for millions of people. Huawei has integrated DeepSeek into its hosting and cloud computing service package, offering multiple access tiers: free, hourly charge, or installation of a private cloud system for government agencies. Unlike OpenAI or Google, China chooses an open-source AI approach: allowing code modification, royalty-free, focusing on emerging markets like a digital version of the “Belt and Road Initiative.”

📌 China is closing the technology gap with the US thanks to open-source AI, a massive domestic market, and the ability to optimize older hardware. China currently accounts for 14 out of the world’s top 20 AI models in reasoning, math, knowledge, and programming – with 9 being open-source models, while the US has no open-source models in this group. China leads in practical applications and AI exports to developing countries, especially in Asia, Africa, and Europe, where Alibaba and Huawei build data centers and low-cost cloud computing platforms. Beijing also exports its AI governance standards based on “Chinese values,”…

📌 On October 23, 2025, Alibaba Cloud announced the development of the Aegaeon system, which allows for optimal GPU utilization in concurrent AI inference tasks, helping to reduce the number of required GPUs by up to 82% while maintaining high performance. Alibaba Cloud demonstrates China’s rapid progress in optimizing GPU infrastructure for generative AI, reaching a performance level of 7 models/GPU. This technology not only reduces the cost of inferencing billions of AI requests but could also reshape the global AI cloud market, where GPU optimization capability is becoming the most crucial competitive weapon.

📌 China’s Fourth Plenum marks a strategic turning point: prioritizing AI, space technology, and population economics, while strengthening anti-corruption efforts and macro-stability. With 4,500 AI companies, the direction for the next five years shows China’s ambition to become an AI and space technology powerhouse, but still maintaining US-China dialogue to avoid global economic exposure risks.

📌 The Consensus platform uses GPT-5 and Responses API to shorten research from weeks to minutes. Using GPT-5 and Responses API, Consensus is redefining the scientific research process, turning AI into a research assistant that can read, understand, and verify evidence like a human. With processing speeds hundreds of times faster but still ensuring academic reliability, this platform opens up an era of “instant research,” where science advances faster thanks to AI’s ability to synthesize knowledge at super speed.
