Oracle, OpenAI to add 4.5 gigawatts data center capacity for Stargate venture

CNA4 days ago
Cloud firm Oracle and OpenAI plan to develop 4.5 gigawatts of additional data center capacity, the ChatGPT developer said on Tuesday.
The commitment is part of their Stargate joint venture, which aims to establish the United States as a leader in artificial intelligence amid intensifying global competition.
Including a data center site in Abilene, Texas, the expansion will bring the total data center capacity under construction to more than 5 gigawatts and is expected to operate more than 2 million chips, the company said.

1 in 5 Singapore workers struggle to keep up with digital transformation: Indeed report

Photo: Pexels (for illustration purposes only) SINGAPORE: One in five workers (11%) in Singapore said they feel overwhelmed and left behind by digital transformation, according to a new report by job site Indeed , pointing to a growing gap between the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the workplace and the formal training they're given. While 36% are already using generative AI tools at work, 33% said they have not received any formal training. Indeed 's latest report, The Work Ahead, was conducted in May and gathered responses from 1,500 participants, including blue-collar workers, white-collar workers, and business leaders in the city-state. It also stated that only 36% feel optimistic about technology shaping their careers. The report found that lack of training (39%), the struggle to keep up with change (39%), and the lack of early exposure to tech tools in their careers (28%) are the reasons holding employees back from being AI-ready in the workplace. To better adopt new technologies, the report highlighted that workers are more likely to benefit from user-friendly tools with clear guides (42%), along with structured training like workshops (38%) and space to experiment in low-pressure settings (35%).

This means moving beyond one-off workshops and building continuous learning pathways that are tailored, accessible, and linked to real-world tasks employees perform,' said Callam Pickering, Indeed's APAC Senior Economist, as he noted that job seekers will increasingly gravitate towards employers that foster a strong learning culture around AI. /TISG Read also: Students beat AI models on top maths problems, even as models hit gold-level scores for the first time () => { const trigger = if ('IntersectionObserver' in window && trigger) { const observer = new IntersectionObserver((entries, observer) => { => { if ( { lazyLoader(); // You should define lazyLoader() elsewhere or inline here // Run once } }); }, { rootMargin: '800px', threshold: 0.1 }); } else { // Fallback setTimeout(lazyLoader, 3000); } });

China's Premier Li proposes global AI co-operation organisation, China News

SHANGHAI — Chinese Premier Li Qiang proposed on Saturday (July 26) establishing a world artificial intelligence co-operation organisation, calling on countries to coordinate development and security of the fast-evolving technology. Speaking at the opening of the annual World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, Li called AI a new engine for growth but said governance is fragmented and emphasised the need to step up coordination between countries to form a globally recognised framework for AI. The three-day event brings together industry leaders and policymakers at a time of escalating technological competition between China and the US, with AI emerging as a key battleground between the world's two largest economies. Washington has imposed export restrictions on advanced technology to China, including AI chips and chipmaking equipment, citing concerns the technology could enhance China's military capabilities. Despite these restrictions, China has continued making AI breakthroughs that have drawn close scrutiny from US officials. Li said AI technologies were rapidly evolving but that there were constraints, such as the lack of high-end computing chips and restrictions on talent exchange. He called for breaking through bottlenecks for open and coordinated innovation. ALSO READ: China's Baidu launches 2 new AI models as industry competition heats up
