    Google's first Suncatcher orbital data-center test satellite to launch October 1

    Google's Project Suncatcher is taking its first step: the initial minimum viable product satellite is scheduled to launch on October 1 to test the idea of an orbital AI data center. About the size of a refrigerator, it carries four Google-designed TPU AI accelerators and solar panels providing around one kilowatt of power. Google supplies the AI hardware, while satellite-imaging company Planet Labs provides the spacecraft.

    U.S. proposes U.S.–China AI safety notification mechanism as experts warn competition rhetoric may put America at risk

    U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the U.S. and China have discussed creating a new AI safety notification mechanism. If China agrees, the two sides could alert each other when their AI systems pose threats or behave unpredictably, and use the channel to discuss shared goals. The report notes that the Trump administration continues to tighten export controls, Congress is considering further restrictions on chips and hardware, and the Justice Department accused six leading Chinese AI companies of stealing technology from U.S. frontier labs two weeks ago—a charge China strongly denies. Experts say Trump's rhetoric about competition with China and an AI race could put the United States itself at risk.

    How NVIDIA validation engineer Sakeena Fiza helps hardware succeed at scale

    NVIDIA validation engineer Sakeena Fiza works in the data-center systems engineering lab, validating hardware before new products enter mass production. One of her earliest and most memorable moments was seeing the NVIDIA Rubin GPU enumerate successfully at the system level for the first time. Validation covers the full path from tray, rack, and cluster to production line and customer AI factory, aiming to find problems before customers do.

    MIT Technology Review investigation into deaths at the U.S. border's 'virtual wall' offers four recommendations

    A MIT Technology Review investigation found systemic failures in the AI surveillance towers that make up the U.S. border “virtual wall”: equipment failures, missed detections, and agents not responding to alerts. More than 1,050 people have died, and the true number may be higher. The U.S. government plans to spend $1 billion by 2034 to double the virtual wall's size, while CBP has never audited deaths near the towers. The report offers four recommendations, including auditing deaths, fixing the migrant-death tracking system, and documenting arrests aided by surveillance technology.

    DeepMind launches institute to study AGI's impact

    For more than 20 years, @ShaneLegg and I have discussed AGI's potential impact on the economy, science, and society. Through the DeepMind Institute, we're expanding interdisciplinary research into the key questions of the AI era. We hope it will help drive the discussion we need to get the next steps right: http://deepmind.google/institute

    Demis Hassabis receives the RSA Albert Medal

    Honored to receive the Albert Medal from @theRSAorg! Science and technology offer incredible opportunities, but as we approach the AGI era, the arts and humanities are essential to shaping the future we want as a society. I had a fascinating discussion with @FryRsquared, covering many new topics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDteJAuKiBI

    Emerald AI, Google, and NVIDIA launch AI Energy Management Alliance

    Emerald AI, Google, and NVIDIA have announced the AI Energy Management Alliance (AEMA), which aims to help data centers adjust power use dynamically to grid conditions. The alliance uses technology-neutral, performance-based requirements focused on measurable factors such as response speed, duration, predictability, and emergency behavior. It also sets out pre-interconnection load-reduction and emergency-response obligations, common technical standards and data sharing, faster paths to grid connection, and cost allocation based on actual system impact.
