AI Models Are Scheming – Inside OpenAI’s Plan to Stop Deceptive AI Behavior

OpenAI’s Mega AMD Deal: How a 6‑Gigawatt AI Chip Alliance Could Reshape the Arms Race

OpenAI’s mission to build artificial general intelligence has become a capital‑intensive arms race.

AI Ignites a Nuclear Renaissance: How Tech Titans, Policy Shifts and New Reactors Are Powering the Next Energy Revolution

AI Ignites a Nuclear Renaissance: How Tech Titans, Policy Shifts and New Reactors Are Powering the Next Energy Revolution

A quarter century ago, nuclear energy was in decline. Fear of meltdowns, regulatory hurdles and the ascendancy of cheap natural gas reduced nuclear’s share of world electricity from about 18 % in the 1990s to roughly 9 % today investing.com. The disasters at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima galvanized public opposition and slowed investment, while nations turned to renewables and gas. Today, however, a new force—artificial intelligence—may be upending the calculus. Machine‑learning models like GPT‑5 run on data centers that consume vast amounts of electricity, and the prospect of constant, clean energy is pushing governments and Silicon Valley to rethink nuclear technology. This article explores the drivers, technologies, policies and controversies of the so‑called nuclear renaissance and assesses whether the hype will translate into real power.
