AI Going Public

Tech giants are hitting the business section and the tabloids.

Sunday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with a businesswoman believed by U.S. intelligence to be a Chinese spy (see his company-wide apology). Beijing allegedly recruited her to gather info on the leather-jacketed chip chief and encourage Nvidia, which controls ~90% of AI chips, to make its top products available to China.

Nvidia, whose stock fell 4.3% Monday, is investigating but sees “no reason to believe” national security was compromised. President Trump said Huang told him he had “no idea” she was a spy; China calls the claims “smears.”

(AI)so Monday, Anthropic released its first “frontier” models since CEO Dario Amodei called for an industry slowdown. Yesterday, the Claude-maker valued itself at up to $1.4T for next week’s IPO, below the ~$2T floated in September.

RADIATE HOPE
News about artificial intelligence can feel world-altering. As trillion-dollar valuations, global rivalries, and job worries swirl together to capture our gaze and captivate our hearts, live in the hope we have in the God Who made this world, died for it, and is bringing it to glory. No matter the headlines, that hope is secure.

“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain.”
