Microsoft miljardsatsar på AI i Sverige
Microsoft storsatsar på AI i Sverige. Den amerikanska techjätten investerar nästan 34 miljarder kronor på ”molninfrastruktur och AI” och ska ge 250 000 personer utbildning i tekniken. – AI kommer att förändra alla de branscher där svenska bolag är världsledande, säger Microsofts ordförande Brad Smith till TT. Sedan årsskiftet har Microsoft presenterat flera liknande satsningar i Tyskland, Japan och senast i Frankrike. Den här gången är det i Sverige som bolaget investerar 3,2 miljarder dollar, motsvarande 33,7 miljarder kronor.

Pocket-Sized AI Models Could Unlock a New Era of Computing
When ChatGPT was released in November 2023, it could only be accessed through the cloud because the model behind it was downright enormous. Research at Microsoft shows it’s possible to make AI models small enough to run on phones or laptops without major compromises to their smarts. The technique could open up new use cases for AI.

Nu drar EU åt tumskruvarna runt energislukande datacenter
EU skärper regleringen kring datacenters energieffektivitet – från i höst krävs rapportering från alla som driver datacenter. Och med nya hållbarhetskrav kan regleringen snart bli mer omfattande. Tillsynsmyndigheterna riktar in sig på datacenter eftersom de beräknas förbruka 2-3 procent av all energi som används i EU, och eftersom AI-teknik som kräver mycket bearbetning driver efterfrågan på större datorkraft och fler datacenter.

AI Needs Enormous Computing Power. Could Light-Based Chips Help?
Moore’s law is already pretty fast. It holds that computer chips pack in twice as many transistors every two years or so, producing major jumps in speed and efficiency. But the computing demands of the deep learning era are growing even faster than that — at a pace that is likely not sustainable. Recent results suggest that, for certain computational tasks fundamental to modern artificial intelligence, light-based “optical computers” may offer an advantage.

Council of Europe adopts first binding international AI treaty
The Council of Europe agreed on a treaty on artificial intelligence (AI) on Friday, claiming it is the first binding international treaty on the technology. The treaty sets out a legal framework that covers the entire lifecycle of AI systems and addresses the risks they may pose while promoting responsible innovation. Unlike the EU AI Act, non-member states can sign the document.

Google invests 1 billion euros in Finnish data centre to drive AI growth
Alphabet-owned Google will invest a further 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion) into the expansion of its data centre campus in Finland to drive its artificial intelligence (AI) business growth in Europe, it said in a statement on Monday. In recent years, many data centres have been located, opens new tab in the Nordic countries because of the region's cooler climate, tax breaks and abundant availability of renewable power.
