Artificial Intelligence breakthrough: eye scans spot chronic disease early
Monash-led researchers will use Artificial Intelligence and retinal imaging to build a foundational model that detects systemic diseases such as cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease from simple eye scans. The project brings together the Digital Health Cooperative Research Centre and Optain Health and will analyse de-identified, linked longitudinal data from hundreds of thousands of participants.
Why is Nvidia the king of Artificial Intelligence chips, and can it last

China bans foreign artificial intelligence chips from state-funded data centres
Beijing has issued guidance that new data centre projects receiving state funds must use domestically made artificial intelligence chips, a move likely to hit U.S. suppliers including Nvidia, AMD and Intel.
Achieving monopoly related to artificial intelligence
Antitrust authorities face new challenges as the deployment of artificial intelligence tools by large platforms can entrench market positions through data advantages and network effects. Regulators in the US, UK and EU are adopting different ex-ante and enforcement approaches to address potential monopolization.
Legal grounds for challenging the overreach of European regulations on US-based companies
European data and Artificial Intelligence regulations such as the GDPR and the EU Artificial Intelligence Act are asserting broad extraterritorial reach that can bind US companies. The article outlines compliance impacts and legal routes, including preliminary references to the Court of Justice of the European Union and Article 263 TFEU challenges.
Cisco announces unified edge platform for agentic artificial intelligence
Cisco announced Cisco Unified Edge, an integrated computing platform that brings compute, networking, storage, and security closer to the data to enable real-time inferencing and agentic artificial intelligence workloads. The platform aims to address infrastructure bottlenecks that are stalling more than half of current artificial intelligence pilots.
