Arm, a chip design company owned by SoftBank, has made significant gains in the data center processor market and cloud computing, aided by partnerships with Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. The company's artificial intelligence versions of its data center processor have been rolled out since 2018, and millions of Arm-based chips have been added to Amazon's AWS platform. As a result, the number of applications running on Arm-based machines has doubled to 9 million, and the developer base working with its computing architecture has increased by 1.5 times to 22 million since 2021.

The federal law would have preempted state-level rules, but it was rejected by Congress. As a result, businesses using AI-powered tools in hiring will need to navigate the growing patchwork of state and local laws, which are set to take effect on October 1 in California and February 1, 2026, in Colorado.

A joint publication from CPA Canada and the American Institute of CPAs highlights the need for independent validation of AI systems, citing risks such as financial loss, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage. According to Melissa Robertson, a CPA Canada expert, this is particularly pressing in Canada, where AI literacy ranks low. By applying established processes and professional standards, CPAs aim to build trust through assurance services that offer third-party validation of complex systems' design and operation.

FedEx has partnered with QuikBot Technologies to deploy the Quikbot, an autonomous final-mile delivery platform that automates tasks such as navigating elevators and crossing gantries, allowing couriers to focus on customer interaction. The system uses digital mapping of buildings to program the robots' routes, reducing waiting time for couriers like those at South Beach Tower, where trials have saved over an hour of work per day.

The company's work on Project Nimbus, a billion-dollar cloud computing and AI project for the Israeli government and military, has sparked controversy among employees. In response to Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack, Google rushed to sell more AI tools to Israel. This decision led to protests and sit-ins by some employees, resulting in about 50 firings. Google dropped a prior pledge not to use AI in surveillance tools or weapons, potentially opening new profit avenues at the expense of those targeted.
