Hub Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is either a field of research, the most important technical innovation of mankind, its downfall – or simply a pipe dream from Silicon Valley. Can machines really be intelligent? What is intelligence anyway? What opportunities does AI technology offer, and what are the risks? From neural networks to the science fiction vision of super AI, from deepfakes to AI surveillance: THE DECODER delivers the latest AI news and information on all facets of artificial intelligence.

Nvidia has stopped producing H20 and 700,000 AI chips intended for China are now sitting idle.

After a temporary green light from the US government, Nvidia had promised Chinese customers about 700,000 H20 AI chips. These chips are stripped-down versions designed to meet US export rules, making them legal for the Chinese market. Now, a new directive from Beijing is forcing local companies to stop buying Nvidia chips over security concerns. As a result, thousands of finished chip dies are sitting unused at Amkor, a US-based packaging partner. The supply chain has ground to a halt, even though Washington and Nvidia had already reached a political agreement. The situation highlights how AI hardware is increasingly caught in the middle of geopolitical tensions. Earlier reports suggested the US is adding tracking chips to AI hardware bound for China.

Dynamics Lab has launched Mirage 2, the latest version of its generative game world engine. With Mirage 2, users can upload their own images - like sketches or photos - and turn them into interactive game worlds. The engine also lets players change the game in real time by typing in commands. Worlds can be saved and shared. While Mirage 2 makes clear technical gains over its predecessor, it still struggles with precise controls and visual stability. In both areas, Genie 3 from Google DeepMind is far ahead, but Genie 3 isn't available yet and likely requires much more computing power. A Mirage 2 demo is available online.
