Nokia Shrinks China Footprint, Risks AI-RAN Data
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.
Reasoning Agents May Collude in Markets
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.
