Why a Canadian bank is trying to predict earthquakes with quantum computers

BMO has filed a provisional patent on a quantum algorithm for seismic forecasting, and is sending mobile branches to wildfire zones with AI dispatch. The bank says it is the future of risk.

AI chipmaker Cerebras targets up to $4bn IPO at $40bn valuation

After a CFIUS-induced retreat in 2024, the wafer-scale chip startup is back with an OpenAI deal in its pocket and a sharper bet against Nvidia. Eighteen months ago, Cerebras Systems looked like a cautionary tale. The Sunnyvale-based AI chip startup had filed for an initial public offering in September 2024, only to see its plans […]

The question nobody asked Zuckerberg

McKinsey’s new AI report argues the productivity payoff is real but conditional

The firm’s new ‘AI productivity gains and the performance paradox’ report concludes that most current AI applications ‘accelerate existing work’ without redesigning workflows, a finding McKinsey is publishing while targeting 1:1 parity between its 40,000 human consultants and 40,000 AI agents by year-end.

OpenAI president says AI is now writing 80% of the company’s code

Greg Brockman’s comments at Sequoia’s AI Ascent 2026 conference fit a pattern of AI lab leaders citing self-reinforcing productivity numbers, but the underlying evidence on AI coding productivity remains substantially more contested than the headline figure suggests. OpenAI president Greg Brockman said AI is now writing roughly 80% of the company’s code at Sequoia Capital’s […]

The man who built Internet Explorer wants to teach AI to think on 20 watts

Thomas Reardon has a pattern. In 1994, he created the project that became Internet Explorer, the browser that turned Microsoft from a software company into an internet company and triggered the most consequential antitrust case in technology history. In 2015, he co-founded CTRL-labs, a neural interface startup that built a wristband capable of translating electrical […]

The Cyberspace Administration’s annual ‘Qinglang’ campaign arrives in a materially different regulatory environment to last year’s edition, and in the same week the White House accused China of running ‘industrial-scale’ AI theft operations. China has launched a months-long enforcement campaign targeting the misuse of artificial intelligence, according to Reuters. The campaign, initiated by the Cyberspace […]
