September 6, 2025, AI-Now - Week in Review with Alex and Jessica

This deep dive on September 6, 2025, unpacks the profound forces reshaping the global AI sector, from intense international rivalries and monumental hardware shifts to explosive regional growth and critical ethical considerations. We explore:

• Deepseek's ambitious push for agentic AI in the competitive Asian market, emphasizing quality and autonomous capabilities.

• OpenAI's strategic move into custom AI chip development by 2026, aiming for independence from Nvidia GPUs and optimizing performance per dollar and watt.

• The UK AI sector's explosive growth (150 times faster than the economy), contrasted with persistent challenges in later-stage funding and the need for clearer regulatory frameworks.

• Transformative AI applications like Inveta in biotech for drug discovery and Sierra's AI agents revolutionizing customer service, highlighting the power of specialized solutions.

• The evolving legal landscape with cases like Warner Bros. Discovery suing Midjourney, underscoring critical questions around IP ownership and AI-generated content.

• The essential need for new ethical frameworks and regulatory structures to ensure trust, safety, transparency, and equitable access as AI's influence expands.
