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.

Datacenters looking to renewables, nuclear, and gas, in quest for more power
Even before the AI revolution (or bubble) took off in 2023, datacenters already used a decent amount of electricity. And the industry's increasing appetite for machine learning will require even more power. All this energy won't be coming from a single source. Datacenters will need to thrive on a "buffet of choices," Uptime Institute analyst Jay Dietrich opined. Those choices will principally include solar, wind, nuclear, and natural gas – each of which has its unique pros and cons.

Europe can't lag behind in 5G technology - German Chancellor Scholz
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called on Monday for an expansion of the 5G mobile network in Europe at the Nordic summit on security and competitiveness in Stockholm. He said that Europe should take advantage of having the "the most progressive technology companies in telecommunications in Europe," in a reference to Swedish company Ericsso and its Finnish competitor Nokia, "which are so successful not just in Europe but also globally."

AI chip shortages continue, but there may be an end in sight
As the adoption of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) continues to soar, the infrastructure to support that growth is currently running into a supply and demand bottleneck. The breakneck pace of AI adoption over the past two years has strained the industry’s ability to supply the special high-performance chips needed to run the process-intensive operations of genAI and AI in general.
