Sify Shares Stuck, India AI Data-Center Bet Draws Traders

Sify Technologies Limited’s American depositary receipts trading in the U.S. ended Tuesday mostly unchanged. The stock stalled after choppy moves, as investors considered the Indian digital infrastructure group's ongoing data-center expansion against bigger losses and rising debt. Sify ADRs were last at $17.24, up 0.12%, trading 82,064 shares, market data showed. An ADR, or American depositary receipt, is a certificate traded in the U.S. that stands for shares of a foreign company.

Super Bowl AI ad feud: Anthropic targets OpenAI’s ChatGPT as China launches reusable spacecraft

Anthropic is shelling out millions on Super Bowl ads that jab at OpenAI’s move to run ads on ChatGPT, turning what’s typically a low-key rivalry into a prime-time showdown. The competition heats up as these two startups—and their larger competitors—vie for the attention of corporate buyers hunting AI tools to boost workplace productivity. Running large language models, the engines powering chatbots, racks up significant costs, and the business value is now under renewed scrutiny as the industry shifts from demos toward real-world deployment.

Microsoft Copilot hits roadblocks as users drift to ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini

Microsoft’s Copilot is struggling to establish itself as a genuine ChatGPT rival, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing confusing branding and integration problems that are slowing its uptake. https://seekingalpha.com/news/4546840-microsofts-ai-product-copilot-faces-issues-competition Timing is crucial. Microsoft is wagering that “Copilot” features integrated into Office, Windows, and other software will drive a new wave of paid growth, all while it invests heavily in data centers and chips to power these AI services.

Roblox’s new ‘4D’ AI turns text prompts into drivable game objects — and it’s live in beta

On Wednesday, Roblox unveiled an AI-powered feature called “4D creation” that transforms natural-language prompts into fully functional in-game models. This innovation takes its creator tools beyond static 3D objects. https://www.reuters.com/technology/roblox-launches-ai-tech-that-generates-functioning-models-with-natural-language-2026-02-04/?utm_source=chatgpt.com The timing is crucial as Roblox aims to broaden the range of creators on its platform—not only experienced developers but also artists and, down the line, players within games. The company reported finishing the third quarter with over 150 million average daily active users.

Why Infineon just added €500 million to its 2026 investment plan for AI data centres

On Wednesday, Infineon bumped up its planned investment for fiscal 2026 by roughly €500 million, bringing the total to €2.7 billion. The boost targets expanding manufacturing capacity for chips powering AI data centers. The German chipmaker expects AI-related revenue to climb to around €2.5 billion in fiscal 2027, up from approximately €1.5 billion this year. This shift highlights how rapidly expanding AI infrastructure is disrupting the chip supply chain, putting pressure on power conversion and control components as data-centre operators ramp up capacity. For Europe’s chipmakers, traditionally focused on industrial and automotive sectors, AI-driven spending offers a cushion against weaker demand in other areas.

Nvidia’s $20B OpenAI bet: Huang talks IPO as $100B fundraise takes shape

Nvidia is nearing a deal to invest roughly $20 billion in OpenAI as part of the ChatGPT maker’s latest funding round, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters. OpenAI is looking to raise up to $100 billion in the round, valuing it at about $830 billion, Reuters has reported, and the talks are not final. Bloomberg reported Nvidia’s contribution is close to being completed and would be the chipmaker’s single biggest investment in the ChatGPT developer, though the terms could still change. In a funding round — a private fundraising where investors buy a stake — that size matters because it signals how much cash the AI build-out is still pulling in.

Italy’s cyber command braces for AI-powered attacks as Milano Cortina Winter Olympics near

Italy’s National Cybersecurity Agency has spent the last year monitoring criminal activity on the dark web and is now gearing up for AI-driven cyber threats linked to next month’s Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. Around 20 of its roughly 100 operational specialists will dedicate themselves full time to Olympic intelligence from Rome, while 10 senior experts will be stationed at the Games’ Technology Operations Centre in Milan, working alongside Deloitte and the event organisers. The Winter Games take place from Feb. 6 to Feb. 22 and, for the first time, will be spread across several Alpine regions. This expansion complicates logistics and security efforts. With more locations involved, there are additional connected systems, suppliers, and potential failure points that could create

AI tool AnomalyMatch combs Hubble archive, flags 1,300 cosmic anomalies — NASA, ESA

NASA reported Tuesday that researchers deploying an AI tool called AnomalyMatch sifted through nearly 100 million image cutouts from the Hubble Legacy Archive, identifying over 1,300 unusual objects. The European Space Agency noted that more than 800 of these anomalies haven’t appeared in any scientific papers before. https://science.nasa.gov/missions/hubble/ai-unlocks-hundreds-of-cosmic-anomalies-in-hubble-archive/?utm_source=chatgpt.com The agencies described the outcome as tackling a straightforward issue: experts simply can’t sift through the flood of telescope data image by image. They added that even citizen-science projects fall short when dealing with archives as massive as Hubble’s.

Apple’s Siri could become a ChatGPT-style chatbot in iOS 27 overhaul, reports say

Apple is set to transform Siri into a built-in AI chatbot, marking a major shift for the voice assistant that’s fallen behind newer, more conversational rivals. The overhauled Siri, known internally as “Campos,” will be integrated throughout iPhone, iPad, and Mac software, replacing the existing Siri interface, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday. Why this matters now: chatbots have raised the bar for assistants, pushing users to expect extended conversations and instant drafting or summarizing capabilities. Since Siri is embedded in Apple’s flagship devices, changes to its functionality can quickly influence both user habits and developers’ approaches.

Sergey Brin says Google hires “tons” without degrees as AI shakes Silicon Valley hiring

Google co-founder Sergey Brin said the company has hired “tons” of workers without bachelor’s degrees, marking a clear move away from the usual four-year degree requirement in tech hiring. Data from the Burning Glass Institute shows Google’s job listings demanding a degree fell from 93% in 2017 to 77% in 2022. The debate is intensifying as artificial intelligence—software capable of generating text and code—moves from novelty to everyday utility. Students are beginning to question whether a computer science degree still holds its value. According to a Times of India education report published Tuesday, Brin and other tech leaders emphasized that math and core computer science skills remain essential, even as AI automates more routine tasks.

Smartphone NPUs Are Getting Crazy Fast — So Why Doesn’t Mobile AI Feel Much Smarter? (December 5, 2025)

On paper, 2025 should be the year your smartphone turns into a genuinely intelligent assistant. Neural Processing Units inside flagship chips like Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 boast huge jumps in AI performance, and vendors promise “agentic” assistants, real‑time translation, and on‑device generative AI. Qualcomm+1 Yet as Ars Technica pointed out in a widely shared article this week, the NPU arms race hasn’t obviously transformed what your phone actually does for you day to day. For most buyers, the reason they “need” dedicated AI silicon still feels abstract, and the benefits remain hard to see. Ars Technica+1
