AI Highlights of the Week

• Microsoft AI Beats Doctors in Diagnosing Tough Cases

  Meta is training AI chatbots to send proactive follow-ups, remembering past chats to boost user retention on AI Studio.

  Ilya Sutskever is now CEO of Safe Superintelligence (SSI) after Meta poached co-founder Daniel Gross, escalating the AI talent war.

• Zuckerberg’s AI Superintelligence Pitch Feels Like Failed Metaverse Rerun

  Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is pitching AI superintelligence as the next tech revolution, echoing his failed metaverse push.

  He claims personal AI companions will change work and social life, but critics cite Meta’s Llama 4 struggles, staff losses, and past hype.

  Despite some success with AI tools, the vision of AI replacing social interaction faces major hurdles.

• US Lifts Chip Design Software Ban on China

  The White House lifted the export ban on chip design software (EDA tools) to China, in exchange for eased rare earth exports like antimony and gallium.

  Synopsys, Cadence, and Siemens EDA can now sell to Chinese chipmakers without a license, restoring vital tech access.

  The deal reflects a rare trade-off between security controls and resource supply, though future restrictions remain unclear.
