OpenAI says China's Zhipu AI gaining ground amid Beijing's global AI push
(Reuters) -OpenAI said on Wednesday its analysts have seen notable progress by Chinese start-up Zhipu AI in securing government contracts across several regions, signaling China's growing momentum in pursuing global AI leadership. Zhipu AI, which is backed by the Chinese Communist Party, aims to "lock Chinese systems and standards into emerging markets before U.S. or European rivals can, while showcasing a 'responsible, transparent and audit-ready' Chinese AI alternative," the ChatGPT maker said in its post. The company provides AI solutions — including sovereign large language model infrastructure and private hardware in partnership with Huawei — to governments and state-owned enterprises in Malaysia, Singapore, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Kenya. The initiative forms part of China's broader effort to build a self-sufficient, globally competitive AI ecosystem that rivals the United States while reducing reliance on American technology. Zhipu AI, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment, is supported by more than $1.4 billion in state investment and maintains strong ties with the Chinese government and state-owned entities, according to OpenAI. In January, the company was added to the U.S. Commerce Department's export control entity list, barring it from procuring U.S. components. Zhipu AI has been positioning itself among China's leading AI firms alongside DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and Minimax, as well as tech giants ByteDance and Alibaba. OpenAI has also built partnerships and attracted investment across the Middle East and Asia. Its "OpenAI for Countries" initiative helps interested governments develop "sovereign AI capability" in coordination with the U.S. government. The report comes as the U.S. and China engage in intense competition in the rapidly evolving AI landscape, with both nations vying for technological dominance.

Arsenal exploring £10m deal for Brentford's Norgaard
Arsenal are interested in Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard amid uncertainty over Thomas Partey's future. Sources have indicated that the Gunners are exploring a deal worth an initial £10m, with a possible £5m in performance related add-ons for the 31-year-old Danish international. Advertisement Norgaard, who has not been a long-term target for the Gunners, is now on the club's radar as they seek experience in midfield with 32-year-old Partey having so far failed to agree terms over extending his contract. Ghana midfielder Partey's contract expires next week and if a deal cannot be reached he will leave the club. Norgaard, whose contract with Brentford expires in 2027, moved to the club in 2019 and became a key player for them under former manager Thomas Frank, who has now taken over at Tottenham. Arsenal are also set to complete the signing of Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga this week by paying his £5m release clause and are close to finalising the £51m signing of Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi. What would Norgaard bring to the Emirates? Matthew Hobbs, BBC Sport Advertisement The 31-year-old has just completed his sixth successive season at the Gtech Community Stadium, including all four of the Bees' Premier League campaigns. Since his top-flight debut in 2021, Norgaard has made 201 interceptions – the most of any Premier League player during this period – while he also ranks second overall for recoveries (844) and third for tackles won (189). Not necessarily renowned for goalscoring, six goals in all competitions in 2024-25 was also the best return of his entire 14-year professional career.

Regrettable that BMA let slip medics are excited for new strikes
He told the PA news agency that union members 'could be round the table working together' rather than on picket lines. Doctors in training, formerly known as junior doctors, are currently being balloted on whether or not to stage further walkouts, with the vote closing on July 7. Speaking at the BMA's annual representative meeting in Liverpool on Tuesday, Dr Ross Nieuwoudt, co-chair of the union's resident doctors committee, suggested that 'people are excited to go again'. He then corrected this to 'energised' when pressed. He said: 'Excited as in energised. Not excited as in looking forward to it.' Mr Streeting told PA: 'I don't think the resident doctors on the front line are excited by the prospect of strike action. 'I don't think that people want to be out on picket lines. 'And I think it's regrettable that the BMA to be honest let slip that they're feeling excited.' Previous strikes by resident doctors have taken place 11 times since 2022, leading to almost 1.5 million appointments being cancelled or rescheduled. Members of the BMA voted to accept a Government pay deal worth 22.3% on average over two years last September. The Government also committed to working with the union to streamline how resident doctors report any additional hours they work. Dr Nieuwoudt said on Tuesday that doctors in training 'want to push for change', but 'their cries have fallen on deaf ears'. He said that while Mr Streeting gave medics 'a good deal that could stop the strike action at the time', which included promises about a 'genuine pathway' towards restoring pay, this has not happened. Mr Streeting told PA: 'I just remind the BMA that they've got in me, someone who not only wants to work with them, has already worked with them to deliver a 28.9% pay rise for resident doctors for the last three years, and shares their anger about the experiences of frontline resident doctors in terms of how their treated at work. 'Their placements, their rotations, their ability to take time off, the lack of hot food facilities overnight. 'So rather than be out on the picket line, we could be round the table working together to sort this out and to and to improve the NHS. And that's what I want us to do together.' The co-chairs of the BMA's resident doctors committee, Dr Melissa Ryan and Dr Nieuwoudt, said in a statement: 'The Health Secretary has been refusing to meet with us since he announced this year's disappointing pay award, so it's good to hear that he would now like to get round the table. 'We'll be expecting to start negotiations on July 8th, when our ballot will have closed and there will be no excuse not to meet.'
