Introduction:
In today’s episode, we explore five compelling stories shaping technology and innovation around the world. First, we delve into former President Donald Trump’s negotiation securing a 15% U.S. government cut from Nvidia’s AI chip sales to China, labeling the H20 chip as “obsolete” compared to newer models. Next, we examine India’s ambitious $1.25 billion Bhashini project, which is developing 350 AI models to bridge the country’s vast linguistic diversity and improve digital inclusion. We then honor Dame Stephanie Shirley, a trailblazing tech entrepreneur who transformed the industry by championing women’s employment and flexible work decades ago. Moving to Ukraine, we cover the successful test of Starlink’s direct-to-cell satellite technology with Kyivstar, enabling ordinary smartphones to connect directly to satellites amid conflict. Finally, we discuss the newly enacted U.S. GENIUS Act, which sets the stage for major corporations like JPMorgan Chase and Walmart to launch their own private stablecoins, while navigating significant regulatory and technical challenges.
