📖 Lesson Content
🗣 (S): “I keep hearing that AI is moving super fast. But what exactly is happening right now?”
🎓 (T): “Great question. AI is shifting from being just a ‘useful tool’ to becoming an infrastructure and rule-changing force in society. Let’s go through the most important updates one by one.”
1. The Stargate Project and Massive AI Infrastructure
🎓 (T): “OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank are investing billions in the Stargate Project—a huge U.S.-based data center network launching around 2027.”
🗣 (S): “Sounds like building a superhighway for AI!”
🎓 (T): “That’s right. It’s the foundation for scaling future AI models.”
2. Advances in On-Device AI Chips (Arm Lumex, etc.)
🎓 (T): “Arm has introduced its Lumex chips, designed to run powerful AI models directly on smartphones and wearables.”
🗣 (S): “So AI will work without connecting to the cloud?”
🎓 (T): “Exactly. That means faster responses and better privacy.”
3. Broadcom × OpenAI: Custom AI Chip Development
🎓 (T): “Nvidia dominates AI chips, but Broadcom and OpenAI are co-developing custom chips that could ship around 2026–2027.”
🗣 (S): “So they’re building AI brains tailored to their needs?”
🎓 (T): “Yes. This diversification will reshape the hardware market.”
4. Mistral and the European AI Sovereignty Strategy
🎓 (T): “French startup Mistral raised €1.7 billion from investors including ASML. Their goal? Building AI in Europe without depending on U.S. or Chinese platforms.”
🗣 (S): “So Europe is creating its own independent AI ecosystem?”
🎓 (T): “Exactly—it’s about digital sovereignty.”
5. The Arrival of Really Simple Licensing (RSL)
🎓 (T): “Platforms like Reddit, Yahoo, and Medium are rolling out RSL licensing, which allows creators to charge AI developers for using their content in training data.”
🗣 (S): “So writers and publishers can finally get paid when AI learns from their work?”
🎓 (T): “Yes, it’s a big step in redefining the relationship between AI and creators.”
6. Generative AI Market Growth Forecast (2025–2030)
🎓 (T): “The generative AI market was valued at about $20.2 billion in 2024. It’s projected to grow at an annual rate of 37% through 2030.”
🗣 (S): “That’s explosive growth! Which areas matter most?”
🎓 (T): “Robotics, cloud integration, and explainable AI will be key drivers.”
7. AI Adoption and Investment Trends (Stanford AI Index)
🎓 (T): “By 2024, 78% of companies were already using AI. Private investment in generative AI reached $33.9 billion, up nearly 19% from 2023.”
🗣 (S): “So using AI has basically become the new normal for business.”
🎓 (T): “Exactly. It’s mainstream now.”
