We recently published a list of Top 10 Trending AI News Updates And Analyst Ratings. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Radware Ltd. (NASDAQ:RDWR) stands against other top trending AI news updates and analyst ratings.
The US AI industry is witnessing a wave of new developments led by Elon Musk’s $97 billion bid to takeover OpenAI, the same company he co-founded with Sam Altman. The OpenAI CEO rejected that offer and added that Musk is acting out of insecurity rather than genuine interest.
The engagement got interesting when Altman counteroffered to buy X.com for $9.74 billion. The clash between the two AI leaders is ongoing amid a broader power struggle over the future of AI.
In his recent blog post, Altman highlighted three observations about the economics of AI: “The intelligence of an AI model roughly equals the log of the resources used to train and run it; the cost to use a given level of AI falls about 10x every 12 months, and lower prices lead to much more use; and that the socioeconomic value of linearly increasing intelligence is exponential.
“If these three observations continue to hold true, the impacts on society will be significant,” noted Altman. “We are now starting to roll out AI agents, which will eventually feel like virtual co-workers.”
Elsewhere, the UK and the US didn’t sign an international agreement on AI at the Paris Global Summit. The US agreement, which pledges an open, inclusive, and ethical approach to AI development, was signed by dozens of countries, including France and China.
The UK government cited concerns around national security, while US VP JD Vance told delegates in Paris earlier that excessive regulation of AI could hamper a transformative industry, which is just taking off.
