Google's AI technology has been found to be echoing anti-abortion messaging, according to a report. The report highlights how Google's AI-powered chatbots and search results have inadvertently promoted pro-life views on abortion, sparking concerns over the company's role in shaping public opinion. The issue was discovered by researchers who analyzed Google's AI responses to queries related to abortion and found that they often included information that supports anti-abortion views.

The project brings together leaders from organizations such as Google, Cisco, Intel, Kainos, and others to discuss collaborative security strategies for LLM and Gen AI. A half-day summit at the RSA Conference will explore best practices in LLM and Gen AI security, while an interactive workshop invites community members to explore real-world threats tied to agentic AI systems. The project aims to provide security professionals with tools and insights to secure next-generation AI-powered applications through open education and expert-driven collaboration.

The US needs an immigration system that caters to high-skilled individuals, with bipartisan support for legislation to keep international students. Education is key, with only 30% of students meeting science proficiency standards, and the country needs national STEM mobilization to improve public school pipelines and expand access to computer science courses. Democratizing access to high-performance computing is also crucial, as most student researchers and public universities lack access to the compute power available to large technology firms and government researchers.

The ruling is seen as a "major inflection point" for Google and the tech sector, highlighting US courts' willingness to entertain "aggressive structural remedies" in antitrust cases. This could increase regulatory risk premiums across major tech stocks, including Amazon and Meta, which operate similarly integrated ecosystems.

They believe AMD is set for a massive up-surge in 2025 due to its new AI accelerators, including the Instinct MI350 and MI400, which could turbocharge revenues and help the company pull even with or surpass Nvidia's data center growth. Despite tariffs being a risk, The Asian Investor thinks strong execution on AMD's growth strategy will give it resilience, and rates AMD stock a Strong Buy, citing a 52% upside for the year ahead.
