The new global scenario of Artificial Intelligence: between advances and challenges

In today’s AI Bulletin, we’ll explore the key developments of the past 24 hours that are shaping the future of technology and society. As someone who has been following technological transformations for over 25 years, I can say that we are living in a particularly significant moment.

UK leads fight against malicious use of AI

In a pioneering initiative, the United Kingdom announced legislation that criminalizes the use of AI tools to create child abuse material. This measure is essential to establish ethical limits on the use of technology and protect the most vulnerable. As an entrepreneur and father, I see this initiative as an essential step in building a safer digital environment.

The US-China AI race intensifies

The emergence of China’s DeepSeek model is drawing comparisons to a “Sputnik moment” in AI. US response includes $100 billion investment in AI infrastructure. In my experience working with public policies for innovation, I have learned that success in this area depends not only on investments, but also on a balanced regulatory environment.

Apple continues its journey into AI

iOS 18.3 brought new features to Apple Intelligence, but there is still a lot of room for evolution. As an observer of the technology market for decades, I see Apple following its traditional pattern: late entry into the market, but with a focus on quality and integration with its ecosystem.

The Transforming AI Chip Market

The competition between AMD and NVIDIA is intensifying, with significant implications for the future of computing. In my experience supporting deep tech startups, I see that this competition is essential to drive innovation and reduce costs, benefiting the entire ecosystem.

AI in the corporate environment

The concept of “e-secretary” is gaining traction, with major players testing AI agents for administrative tasks. In the medical field, AI solutions are significantly improving the efficiency of clinical work. In my journey with corporate innovation, I have learned that the success of these implementations depends on a balance between automation and valuing the human element.

Reflections and conclusions

The events of the past 24 hours paint a complex and dynamic picture. On the one hand, we are seeing significant advances in practical applications of AI, from improvements in consumer products to profound transformations in the corporate environment. On the other, we are facing serious challenges related to security and regulation.

In my experience leading innovation and technology initiatives, I have learned that moments of transformation like this require a balanced approach: neither so optimistic that we ignore the risks, nor so pessimistic that we paralyze innovation. The key is to maintain our focus on using technology to create a positive impact on society, always prioritizing ethics and inclusion.
