The fund will be invested across various sectors and multiple countries, notably the United States, India, and Israel. But the big story here is AI, and Norwest’s plans to expand its investment in this area. Norwest said Thursday it aims to capitalize on AI startups developing products and services across core industries such as consumer, healthcare, and technology. The investment firm, which has backed Plaid, Spotify, Uber, and Vuori, said it will continu

The hydraulic fracturing crew is already on site: equipment is set up, fluid and proppant have been delivered. The engineer checks the calculation one last time: how much to inject and at what rate. If the calculation is wrong, it will become clear after injection, when the fracture in the rock can no longer be reworked.My name is Anton Sokolov, an independent industry analyst. I write about how Russian industrial companies are replacing foreign software.

Getty / Futurism Over the past year or so, a bizarre phenomenon has emerged: people start talking with AI chatbots about delusions or conspiracies and get sucked into mental health crises that doctors are calling “AI psychosis.” The results can be grim. We’ve seen mainstream AI implicated in numerous suicides, involuntary commitment and even murder. Though most of the scrutiny has focused on OpenAI and Character.AI, a recent study by researchers from the C

Since the launch of “Jev,” an AI model that solves tasks through an approach different from large language models (LLMs), a succession of models that guide the decisions of AI agents—similarly called “decision-making models”—have appeared. Google has now introduced “Gemini Decision 1,” a decision-making model.

Genomes are so five minutes ago. Personalized medicine is all about phenomes now. OK, that’s an exaggeration. But plenty of genetic disorders do result in distinctive facial phenotypes (Down syndrome is probably the best known example). Many of these disorders are quite rare and thus not easily recognized by clinicians. This lack of familiarity can cause the patients with the disorders (and their parents) to endure a long and traumatic diagnostic odyssey b

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is facing growing political pressure as more details emerge about his affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese intelligence asset. Now, some Republican lawmakers are threatening to subpoena Huang, while at least one senator is calling for his resignation. North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer told Politico on Tuesday that Huang’s actions amount to a national security risk. “The potential for extortion is so tremendous that somethin

Artificial intelligence or AI started out in the 1950s as an observation about the potential capabilities of computer systems. It evolved into an area of inquiry within computer science. Eventually, when some of the technologies most associated with AI began to have commercial applications, it became generally understood that AI mostly refers to neural networks, deep learning, LLMs and the revenue-generating applications—notably chatbots, image generators,

This AI feat was quickly tarnished by accusations of plagiarism from two researchers. They suspect the company of having used their own unpublished work to solve the enigma, possibly without even being aware of it. OpenAI claims th

Getty Images / Futurism Ever since ChatGPT blew up the tech industry, the so-called godfathers of AI have remained been pretty dour about their creations — well, except for one of them — and they’re certainly not sounding any more optimistic about its consequences now. In an open letter published Tuesday, some 400 scientists, including Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, two pioneers of the tech whose work on deep learning was foundational to modern LLMs, c

Shutterstock / Futurism In August 2025, the Trump administration raised eyebrows by making a $8.9 billion investment in US chipmaker Intel, as part of a massive $100 billion drive to boost semiconductor supplies. At first, it looked like an excellent investment as the AI race heated up as Intel saw shares shoot up, reaching just over $92 a share by Thursday of last week, more than quadrupling the government’s initial investment, as Yahoo Finance reports.
