Beijing is reportedly considering adding 23 AI technologies to its export-control list, including chip designs, agents, model weights, and source code. China has been steadily gaining on the US with recent releases like Kimi K3, and has been the target of Western AI-related export controls amid growing competition to maintain control over the strategic technology.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is more a part of our lives than ever before. While some might call it hype and compare it to NFTs or 3D TVs, AI is causing a sea change in nearly every part of the technology industry. OpenAI’s ChatGPT is arguably the best-known AI chatbot around, but with Google pushing Gemini, Microsoft building Copilot, and Apple working to make Siri good, AI is probably going to be in the spotlight for a very long time. At The Verge, we’re exploring what might be possible with AI — and a lot of the bad stuff AI does, too.

Two workers have died after an incident at Intel’s most advanced chip factory.

A suspected gas cylinder explosion at Intel’s Kiryat Gat facility in southern Israel, where it makes its most advanced chips, has killed two workers and injured a third. JPost and CTech report that police believe a gas cylinder malfunctioned while trucks were loading material into tanks, causing serious burns to the victims and a leak of nitrogen trifluoride (NF₃). We’ve written about the risks fab workers face, including the death of a truck driver in 2024 while transporting sulfuric acid waste at TSMC’s Arizona facility, and an Intel employee who worried cost-cutting and downsizing were adding extra risk.

It sure would be nice if these congresspeople would say why DJI is a threat.

The FCC would like you to know that its DJI ban is justified — because of the contents of sealed letters from the Pentagon that it has now forwarded to 16 congresspeople. Do they know something they’re not saying out loud? So far, the government hasn’t revealed a single shred of public evidence about a national security threat.
