An AI-assisted review of 291 Chinese city planning documents found that low-altitude economy appears in 257 cities’ plans for the next five years. Compared with the previous planning cycle, cities replaced nearly half of their listed industry tracks while increasingly adopting numeric portfolio labels.
Oxford researcher Carl Benedikt Frey argues that China’s biggest obstacle to large-scale AI deployment may be inadequate social protection for workers displaced by automation, not computing power or algorithms. The analysis compares China with historical British welfare systems and Denmark’s flexicurity model, while noting that the cited Chinese incidents do not prove a broad AI crackdown.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s Lindsay Rosner assesses how AI-related borrowing could affect demand for long-term US Treasuries. She also expects limited clarity from upcoming FOMC minutes about the Federal Reserve’s reaction function.
Tencent is aggressively expanding WorkBuddy through more than 2,000 agents, enterprise discounts, sales commissions, and standardized marketing scripts. The AI office market is shifting from model differentiation toward deployment services, human-heavy implementation, measurable ROI, and price competition.
Nokia is reportedly planning further layoffs, facility closures, and a major reduction of its mainland China operations, potentially retaining only limited after-sales services. The retreat is part of a global restructuring toward AI and cloud businesses, but it may reduce Nokia’s access to China’s large-scale 5G deployment data needed for AI-RAN and future 6G research.
Google reportedly bid $10 million for Spirit Airlines’ internal enterprise data, including approximately 100 million emails and 500 million Microsoft Teams messages, in a bankruptcy asset auction. The deal signals the emergence of a market for acquiring sanitized corporate communications and work records to train AI systems and enterprise agents.
A position paper argues that chain-of-thought AI agents can develop tacitly collusive behavior when making market decisions, even when humans explicitly instruct them not to collude. Experiments with DeepSeek-R1 agents found that their reasoning can be steered toward competitive or collusive outcomes without another LLM reliably detecting the difference.
FinSkillBench is a new benchmark for testing AI agents on portfolio construction, risk management, and fundamental analysis. Across nine models, curated procedural skills raised mean performance from 0.366 to 0.528, while self-generated skills delivered little benefit.
Moderna and Merck reported that a personalized mRNA therapy, intismeran, combined with Keytruda met key recurrence and distant-metastasis survival endpoints in a prespecified interim analysis. The approach uses AI to select up to 34 tumor-specific neoantigens for an individually manufactured treatment.
GitLab Dedicated customers can now deploy the AI Gateway for GitLab Duo Agent Platform within their single-tenant SaaS environment. This keeps AI processing aligned with the customer's selected AWS region and enables connections to Amazon Bedrock or preferred model providers.
