OpenAI has signed significant agreements with AMD and Broadcom to supply AI chips and accelerators for its data‑center deployments. The AMD deal focuses on large‑scale GPU production, while Broadcom will provide custom AI accelerators and Ethernet systems. Both partnerships underline OpenAI's strategy to diversify its silicon supply and reduce reliance on a single vendor. However, the majority of the chips are still expected to be fabricated by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), whose capacity constraints and geographic concentration remain a critical bottleneck for the broader AI and semiconductor industries.

Developers are increasingly turning to AI‑generated code, dubbed “vibe coding,” to accelerate software creation. While the approach mirrors the efficiency of open‑source reuse, experts warn it introduces opaque code, potential vulnerabilities, and weakened accountability. Security firms highlight that AI models often draw on outdated or insecure codebases, making it hard to trace origins or audit outputs. A recent survey found that a third of security leaders report over 60 % of their code now originates from AI, yet fewer than one‑fifth have approved tools for such development. The emerging risk landscape calls for new safeguards and clearer governance. Leer más →

Retail leaders are integrating agentic AI into both online and brick‑and‑mortar channels to enhance customer service, streamline supply chains, and personalize product discovery. A recent Brunswick survey of over 5,000 consumers revealed mixed emotions—half nervous, half excited—yet a clear preference for human interaction when possible. Retailers are balancing rapid AI advances, highlighted by breakthroughs over the past 18 months, with the need for authenticity, transparency, and ethical use, especially as virtual influencers and AI avatars become commonplace. The industry’s success hinges on pairing technology with a human‑centric approach. Leer más →

Netstock introduced the Opportunity Engine, a generative AI tool that integrates with customers' ERP systems to deliver real-time inventory recommendations. The feature has already generated over a million suggestions, with most users receiving recommendations valued at $50,000 or more. Early adopters, including a long‑standing family‑run restaurant supply company, report improved decision‑making and increased staff effectiveness. Netstock emphasizes human oversight, positioning the AI as an aid rather than an autonomous decision‑maker. The company leverages a decade of industry data and a mix of open‑source and proprietary AI technologies to power the engine. Leer más →

Apple is advancing its AI initiatives, including on‑device intelligence and partnerships with large language models, while striving to meet its 2030 carbon‑neutral goal. The company faces slowed emissions reductions in its supply chain, mixed renewable‑energy commitments from major assemblers, and the energy‑intensive nature of AI development. Analysts note a tension between the need for advanced chips, frequent device upgrades, and the broader push for sustainability across Apple’s operations and its suppliers. Leer más →
