Foreign entities, most of which are based in China, are conducting broad, industrial-scale campaigns aimed at stealing the most advanced artificial intelligence models from US companies. The Donald Trump administration is announcing decisive steps, including cooperating with the private sector and holding the perpetrators accountable. At the center of the geopolitical scandal is the Chinese startup DeepSeek and a copying process known as “distillation.”
The demand for AI computing power is growing at such a pace that existing networks simply can’t keep up. In response to this crisis, Google Cloud engineers have unveiled Virgo Network. It is an entirely new data center network architecture capable of linking over 130,000 TPU chips into a single, giant computing machine.
Artificial intelligence is no longer just a “helper” at Google and it has become its primary programming engine. As CEO Sundar Pichai announced during the Cloud Next 2026 conference, three-quarters of all new code at the company is already generated by AI. The role of engineers is shifting merely to approving and supervising it. Despite massive financial results and impressive productivity gains, behind closed doors, the tech giant is engaged in a fierce battle with increasingly strong competition, and some teams prefer to use rivals’ tools.
Medicine is receiving massive support in the fight against bureaucracy. OpenAI has announced the launch of “ChatGPT for Clinicians” – a specialized tool for US medics that impresses with its effectiveness in verifying data and generating documentation. While the vision of automating medical bureaucracy sounds promising, experts issue a reminder: the system is not an FDA-certified medical device, meaning that doctors still bear full responsibility for every decision made.
