Summary
-
This week (12-19 Feb), we heard that:
-
Elon Musk’s $97.5bn bid to buyout OpenAI could be withdrawn if the company drops plans to become a for-profit business, with Musk’s lawyers claiming the bid was always conditional on such a move;
-
China is racing to add DeepSeek’s AI to its EV cars, with its CEO claiming the advantages over competitors are “day and night”;
-
Apple has launched a giant health study;
-
Smartwatches are making a comeback, with Pebble’s new watch having a weekly usage rate; and,
-
Syria hosted its first international tech conference in 50 years.
Remember, the buzzword of the week is “efficient”, as in “efficient AI”.
