SoftBank to invest in Intel; Google announces nuclear reactor site; Foxconn bets big on the AI boom
SoftBank to invest in Intel The Japanese SoftBank Group announced it will invest $2 billion in Intel, with the update coming as its founder Masayoshi Son tries to align himself with U.S. President Donald Trump. Separately, media reports indicated that the U.S. government could be considering taking a 10% stake in Intel, which has struggled to retain its competitive edge in the Generative AI era. The American chipmaker has fallen far behind rival Nvidia, and continues to face operational challenges in spite of CEO Lip-Bu Tan taking over the company earlier this year. SoftBank is set to pay $23 per share of Intel common stock. Though Trump recently called on Tan to resign, citing conflicts of interest, he appeared to change his opinion after meeting the Intel CEO in person. SoftBank is also set to play a major role in the $500-billion Stargate project to develop AI infrastructure in the U.S. with Oracle and OpenAI. Google announces nuclear reactor site Google and Kairos Power have chosen the U.S. state of Tennessee in order to establish a nuclear power plant that is slated to supply electricity to Google data centres in the U.S. southeast region from 2030. The deal is intended to support 500 megawatts of advanced nuclear capacity, or about enough power for 350,000 homes. The venture is significant as it is a landmark power purchase agreement for 'generation IV nuclear power,' which is touted as being safer and more sustainable. The reactor in Tennessee is the first to be deployed under Google's corporate agreement as the company looks to buy nuclear energy from small modular reactors. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said that the Department of Energy had assisted Kairos Power with the project, and hailed 'the next American nuclear renaissance.' Foxconn bets big on the AI boom Foxconn was for several years known as the Taiwanese electronics giant that made its name through the assembly of millions of Apple iPhones, but it is now shifting to Generative AI. For the first time in the second quarter, the company's revenue from making AI servers and related products was more than that of smart consumer products like Apple's iPhone. Foxconn's earlier reliance on iPhone manufacturing was seen as a risk, and especially in light of geopolitical trade challenges and slowing demand growth for the premium smartphones. However, Foxconn Chairman Young Liu since 2019 has encouraged the company to focus on AI servers, electric vehicles, and semiconductors to diversify its approach. Foxconn next became successful in the AI server manufacturing business and is Nvidia's biggest server maker.

Mid-career professionals lead digital transformation, seek upskilling opportunities to master AI
Mumbai, Aug 19 (PTI) The new wave of digital and workplace transformation is being led by mid-career professionals, with a significant percentage of them seeking additional training to stay ahead in their fields, a report said on Tuesday. According to the 'Work Ahead report' by global job site Indeed, 56 per cent of mid-career professionals feel they want significantly more training to stay future-ready, compared to just 41 per cent of their younger counterparts. Confidence is highest among respondents aged 35 to 54 years (mid-career professionals), nearly half of whom (49 per cent) report being ready to navigate AI-integrated workplaces, outpacing their younger peers aged 18 to 24 years, said the report. "There's a determined confidence building across India's workforce. Mid-career professionals, in particular, are not only using AI but actively seeking upskilling opportunities to master it. The rise in interest around Agentic AI signals that we are at the beginning of a transformation, one where job seekers are not just responding to change, but leading it," Indeed India Head of Sales Sashi Kumar said. The 'Work Ahead report' by Indeed is based on research conducted by market research company Censuswide among 3,001 workers (blue-collar and white-collar) and business leaders across India. The data was collected in May 2025, and the survey was done across 12 industries, including technology, retail, manufacturing, travel, legal, healthcare, HR, and others, spanning designation levels from clerical to business owners. The report further found that 34 per cent of those surveyed expect to use Generative AI tools frequently in the near future. A quarter of respondents are already anticipating the adoption of Agentic AI tools - AI systems that can autonomously complete complex tasks, it stated. Even in traditionally hands-on roles, the report found that AI is making inroads, as among the blue-collar workers surveyed, 70 per cent said technology helps them at work, and two in 10 are already using Generative AI in their roles, from streamlining paperwork to improving customer service. Around 29 per cent of the surveyed workforce said they are seeking access to self-paced online training programs to upgrade their skills on their own terms. "As we move ahead, upskilling in AI wouldn't just be good practice, it'll be the career accelerator. Workers who build AI skills will be better positioned for higher pay, promotions, and future roles, a trend that we already see picking up," Kumar added.

If AI takes most of our jobs, money as we know it will be over. What then?
Agency: Sydney, Aug 19 (The Conversation) It's the defining technology of an era. But just how artificial intelligence (AI) will end up shaping our future remains a controversial question. For techno-optimists, who see technology improving our lives, it heralds a future of material abundance. That outcome is far from guaranteed. But even if AI's technical promise is realised – and with it, once intractable problems are solved – how will that abundance be used? We can already see this tension on a smaller scale in Australia's food economy. According to the Australian government, we collectively waste around 7.6 million tonnes of food a year. That's about 312 kilograms per person. At the same time, as many as one in eight Australians are food-insecure, mostly because they do not have enough money to pay for the food they need. What does that say about our ability to fairly distribute the promised abundance from the AI revolution? AI could break our economic model. As economist Lionel Robbins articulated when he was establishing the foundations of modern market economics, economics is the study of the relationship between ends (what we want) and scarce means (what we have), which have alternative uses. Markets are understood to work by rationing scarce resources towards endless wants. Scarcity affects prices – what people are willing to pay for goods and services. And the need to pay for life's necessities requires (most of) us to work to earn money and produce more goods and services. The promise of AI bringing abundance and solving complex medical, engineering and social problems sits uncomfortably against this market logic. It is also directly connected to concerns that technology will make millions of workers redundant. And without paid work, how do people earn money, or how do markets function? Meeting our wants and needs It is not only technology, though, that causes unemployment. A relatively unique feature of market economies is their ability to produce mass want, through unemployment or low wages, amid apparent plenty. As economist John Maynard Keynes revealed, recessions and depressions can be the result of the market system itself, leaving many in poverty even as raw materials, factories and workers lay idle. In Australia, our most recent experience of economic downturn wasn't caused by a market failure. It stemmed from the public health crisis of the pandemic. Yet it still revealed a potential solution to the economic challenge of technology-fuelled abundance. Changes to government benefits – to increase payments, remove activity tests and ease means-testing – radically reduced poverty and food insecurity, even as the productive capacity of the economy declined. Similar policies were enacted globally, with cash payments introduced in more than 200 countries. This experience of the pandemic reinforced growing calls to combine technological advances with a 'universal basic income". This is a research focus of the Australian Basic Income Lab, a collaboration between Macquarie University, the University of Sydney and the Australian National University. If everyone had a guaranteed income high enough to cover necessities, then market economies might be able to manage the transition, and the promises of technology might be broadly shared. Welfare, or rightful share? When we talk about a universal basic income, we have to be clear about what we mean. Some versions of the idea would still leave huge wealth inequalities. My Australian Basic Income Lab colleague, Elise Klein, along with Stanford Professor James Ferguson, has called instead for a universal basic income designed not as welfare, but as a 'rightful share". They argue that the wealth created through technological advances and social cooperation is the collective work of humanity and should be enjoyed equally by all, as a basic human right, just as we think of a country's natural resources as the collective property of its people. These debates over universal basic income are much older than the current questions raised by AI. A similar upsurge of interest in the concept occurred in early 20th-century Britain, when industrialisation and automation boosted growth without abolishing poverty, instead threatening jobs. Even earlier, Luddites sought to smash new machines used to drive down wages. Market competition might produce incentives to innovate, but it also spreads the risks and rewards of technological change very unevenly. Universal basic services Rather than resisting AI, another solution is to change the social and economic system that distributes its gains. UK author Aaron Bastani offers a radical vision of 'fully automated luxury communism". He welcomes technological advances, believing this should allow more leisure alongside rising living standards. It is a radical version of the more modest ambitions outlined by the Labour government's new favourite book – Abundance. Bastani's preferred solution is not a universal basic income. Rather, he favours universal basic services. Instead of giving people money to buy what they need, why not provide necessities directly – as free health care, transport, education, energy and so on? Of course, this would mean changing how AI and other technologies are applied – effectively socialising their use to ensure they meet collective needs. No guarantee of utopia Proposals for universal basic income or services highlight that, even on optimistic readings, by itself, AI is unlikely to bring about utopia. Instead, as Peter Frase outlines, the combination of technological advance and ecological collapse can create very different futures, not only in how much we collectively can produce, but in how we politically determine who gets what and on what terms. The enormous power of tech companies run by billionaires may suggest something closer to what former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis calls 'technofeudalism", where control of technology and online platforms replaces markets and democracy with a new authoritarianism. Waiting for a technological 'nirvana" misses the real possibilities of today. We already have enough food for everyone. We already know how to end poverty. We don't need AI to tell us.
