As AI agents grow capable of independently operating computers, drafting documents, and managing schedules, the relationship between humans and machines is undergoing a fundamental shift. A recent viral phenomenon involving so-called "lobster" agents (OpenClaw) has underscored a new question in the market: traditional PCs and smartphones may no longer be the ideal platforms for AI.
The global AI narrative is often reduced to a struggle between US- and China-based tech giants. However, a quieter yet more significant movement is emerging among second-tier industrial powers. During a recent lecture, DIGITIMES chairman Colley Hwang spoke about how nations such as Germany, Japan, France, and Canada are increasingly focused on building sovereign AI.
Apple marks its 50th anniversary on April 1, after helping shape multiple waves of the technology industry, from personal computing to the internet and mobile eras. As artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as the next phase, the company is coming under closer scrutiny in the transition.
Apple plans to open its Siri voice assistant to rival artificial intelligence (AI) services, moving beyond its partnership with OpenAI, according to Bloomberg and Reuters.
Google has introduced TurboQuant, a compression algorithm that reduces large language model (LLM) memory usage by at least 6x while boosting performance, targeting one of AI's most persistent bottlenecks: memory. The breakthrough lowers inference costs and expands deployment across cloud and edge environments.
