YAHOO POLL: Should generative AI tools be restricted in the workplace?
Watching the rise of generative AI has been like re-living the excitement around the launch of the first iPhone. The boom and the quick adoption of the technology by the masses has made generative AI tools like ChatGPT transformative.
The sudden explosion in popularity of Chinese AI start-up DeepSeek has also added a new dimension to the market with leading Chinese companies already declaring they would integrate its AI model into their offerings.
However, other companies in other countries – including Singapore – have been more cautious about adopting DeepSeek's flagship R1 reasoning AI model right away over data privacy concerns.

U.S., Chinese delegates in London to talk trade, rare earths
June 9 (UPI) -- Delegates from the United States and China are set to meet Monday in London after a phone call between the nations' leaders seemingly led to a cooling of tensions related to their otherwise heated recent trade dispute. "We are a nation that champions free trade and have always been clear that a trade war is in nobody's interests, so we welcome these talks," said a British government spokesperson. The U.K. has provided the space for the countries to chat but hasn't publicly disclosed its location. American attendees are slated to include U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, while Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng will lead his country's delegation. It is expected the discussion will put a fair amount of focus on the rare earth minerals situation. The Trump administration had expected China to back down on export restrictions it had imposed in April on such minerals after talks held in May. China imposed those restrictions in response to tariffs levied by Trump on Chinese goods. The resulting trade disruption has led to a 2.9% decrease on exports to the United States from April to May, the decrease from May 2024 is 3.4% and the cumulative year-on-year decrease from January to May is at 4.9%, according to Chinese customs data. However President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke on the phone last week, and the conversation was reportedly so friendly it not only led to Monday's meeting but each invited the other to make a personal visit. American and Chinese representatives had met last month in Geneva and reportedly reached an agreement to suspend most of the tariffs that had been reciprocally imposed, but both countries have since been accused of agreement violations by the other.

Mathematicians Are Getting Closer to Translating an ‘Alien Language'
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Here's what you'll learn when you read this story: First proposed in 2012, the Inter-universal Teichmüller Theory (IUT) is a devilishly difficult math theory that experts describe as an 'alien language.' Although only a few mathematicians around the world understand any small portion of IUT, a 28-year-old tech worker recently made significant gains toward decoding the theory. This could help make progress in understanding math enigmas like the ABC Conjecture and Fermat's Last Theorem. It's likely that you won't understand any of the mathematics in this article, but you'd be in good company—most mathematicians don't understand it, either. That's because we're talking about the famously difficult Inter-universal Teichmüller Theory (IUT), first proposed across 2,000 pages in 2012 by Japanese mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki and vigorously debated in the 13 years since: is it a revolutionary way of understanding mathematics or a complete waste of time? The best way to think about IUT is that it's a completely novel understanding of mathematics that makes a drastic departure from the theorems taught in universities around the world. According to mathematics expert Kato Fumimot, speaking to the South China Morning Post (SCMP), the theory is almost an otherworldly creation. 'Imagine an alien coming to Earth who can only speak an extraterrestrial language,' Fumimot told the SCMP. 'If he were to give a speech in front of a large group of Earthlings, surely no one would understand what he is saying, and no matter how many times he repeats it, there would be no progress.' Whole branches of mathematics have been set up to try to interpret the secrets of IUT. According to some estimates, only two dozen or so mathematicians in the world can even begin to understand this mysterious language. However, it seems that a promising new mathematician may have recently been added to their number. Zhou Zhongpeng isn't a learned professor or noted mathematician, but a former doctoral student turned tech worker—one that happens to be obsessed with learning IUT. After decoding key elements of IUT and proposing novel refinements and explanations of the ABC conjecture, he sent his work—uploaded to the preprint server arXiv—to the theory's creator, Mochizuki, and Ivan Fesenko, one of the few mathematicians who has made some headway in understanding IUT. According to SCMP and Interesting Engineering, Fesenko immediately reached out to Zhou and told him to fly to his campus in Westlake University in China. Zhou promptly quit his tech job and began working with Fesenko. If mathematicians at large are ever able to truly learn IUT, they could be able to find more efficient solutions to some of the field's most devilish problems. Take, for example, Fermat's Last Theorem. Formulated in 1637 and named after French mathematician Pierre de Fermat, the theorem states that no three positive integers (a, b, and c) can satisfy the equation an + bn = cn where 'n' is greater than two. Although this seems simple, it took more than 350 years to prove it, and the solution ran 130 pages long. Zhou's work could solve such a theorem in fewer steps and also prove useful for other mathematical enigmas. For now, IUT remains a mostly an 'alien language.' And because so many of the theory's adherents live in Japan, New Scientist says that, effectively, the proof is only true in that country. Only time will tell whether that claim spreads to eventually envelop the world.

Nvidia (NVDA) Reaffirms AI Dominance After CFO Dinner Briefing
Nvidia (NVDA, Financials) provided new clarity on key investor concerns during a private investor dinner hosted by Bank of America in San Francisco, reinforcing its long-term AI strategy and execution roadmap. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. The event featured Nvidia CFO Colette Kress, VP of Investor Relations Toshiya Hari, and VP Ian Buck, who addressed three core concerns: the rollout of the Blackwell rack systems, global AI diffusion including sovereign demand, and the impact of U.S. export restrictions on Chinese AI chip shipments. Blackwell NVL rack systems were said to be fully ramped as of June 5, with roughly 70% of Nvidia's compute sales in fiscal Q1 tied to the platform. The firm also confirmed that production of Blackwell Ultra will begin in the current quarter, with volume expected to rise in the second half. The next-generation Rubin and Feynman architectures remain on schedule, supporting Nvidia's annual product cadence. Bank of America estimated Nvidia's total addressable data center market opportunity between $250 billion and $350 billion, based on third-party projections of 5 to 7 gigawatts of new capacity in 2025. Nvidia's current pipeline stands at roughly $175 billion, supported by what the analyst called a symbiotic relationship with hyperscalers. The analyst added that the company has fully de-risked China in its latest data center forecasts, removing any projected sales tied to the H20 AI chip, which was subject to export licensing restrictions during the first quarter. Nvidia previously disclosed a $2.5 billion sales hit related to those restrictions in its May 28 earnings. The easing of sovereign AI restrictions was also seen as a tailwind, with Nvidia now able to serve government-backed AI demand either directly or through cloud and enterprise intermediaries. Bank of America reiterated a Buy rating and a $180 price objective for Nvidia, citing the company's multi-year lead in performance, pipeline, incumbency, scale, and developer support as key reasons for sustained upside in the AI cycle. Nvidia previously reported fiscal Q1 revenue of $44.1 billion, up 69% year over year. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
