Despite this, Samsung's smartphone sales are expected to remain solid ahead of potential US tariffs on imported smartphones. The company has started supplying its new chip to AMD, but shares have climbed only 19% this year, underperforming the market.

The move aims to block a potential back door for advanced AI chips, as the US has effectively banned sales of Nvidia's AI processors in China.

The Defense Department is prioritizing sustainability, with a focus on fuel efficiency, waste reduction, and the use of alternative fuels such as biofuels and hydrogen. AI-powered systems are being integrated into vetronics and avionics systems to automate tasks like diagnostics, predictive maintenance, and threat detection. The military is also developing advanced stealth technologies to minimize vehicles' visibility to enemies, including active multispectral camouflage and EW disguises systems. Advanced power supplies are becoming increasingly important, with a focus on reliability, size, weight, and power optimization, as well as AI integration and modular designs. Predictive maintenance using onboard sensors and machine learning algorithms is being explored to reduce breakdowns and optimize vehicle performance. Cybersecurity is also a major concern, with layered security architectures and robust authentication protocols being developed to protect vehicles and networks from cyber threats.

The Trump administration has identified this issue, which could lead to widespread power outages.

However, current models lack maturity and agency, leading to inflated expectations and questionable implementations. Analyst Anushree Verma notes that effective deployment and management are crucial for agentic AI to deliver tangible value.

Research by MIT's David Autor and Neil Thompson suggests that while AI can automate routine tasks, it often leaves behind more skilled and creative work. This is evident in the contrast between accounting clerks and inventory clerks, where automation removed tedious arithmetic tasks from accounting clerks' jobs, making them more expert, but inventory clerks lost their education-intensive arithmetic task, becoming less skilled. The authors warn that AI may devalue expert work, affecting job satisfaction and salaries.
