Arm defends shift into chips as AGI CPU targets agentic AI demand
Arm unveiled its first "Arm AGI CPU" on March 24 at its Arm Everywhere event, marking a major shift in its business model. The chip, conceived three years ago and now ready for mass production, breaks from Arm's decades-long role as an IP supplier and signals its entry into the design and delivery of its own silicon products.
SLB and Nvidia expanded a technology collaboration to design and deploy modular AI infrastructure and domain-specific models for the energy industry, promising faster deployment, lower costs, and scalable AI tools that could accelerate decision-making across global energy operations, affecting production efficiency, emissions management, and the pace of digital transformation worldwide.
US President Donald Trump has appointed an initial group of technology and business leaders to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), a body tasked with advising the White House on science, technology, and innovation policy, according to statements from the White House and multiple media reports.
Arm has officially unveiled its first fully self-designed physical chip, the Arm AGI CPU, targeting data center mass production. The announcement came at the Arm Everywhere conference in San Francisco, sending shockwaves through an already fiercely competitive AI chip market.
Automation equipment maker Kenmec Mechanical Engineering and over-the-counter-listed Meta Green Cooling have disclosed that Taipei prosecutors have initiated a public prosecution over alleged trade secret misappropriation. The development could affect international suppliers, partners, and investors who track intellectual property protection and corporate governance in Taiwan's technology sector.
As countries tighten controls on advanced chips and AI computing demand surges, how China secures compute resources matters globally. DIGITIMES Research reports H3C, a top Chinese server maker, has expanded exports into ASEAN and Central Asia since 2023, reshaping supply chains and offering alternative routes around US trade pressures.
Academic and industry experts from Nvidia and Google predicted an upcoming "Q-Day", the day when quantum computing is advanced enough to break current levels of encryption and crack passwords. While this day may be years ahead, governments and companies are already preparing post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards to prepare for this day, the experts said at the 2026 AI Expo in Taipei.

Taiwan is advancing efforts to build sovereign artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, even as power supply and data readiness emerge as key constraints across the AI infrastructure stack.

Enterprises are encountering growing challenges in moving artificial intelligence from pilot projects to production, as constraints in power availability and data readiness emerge as key bottlenecks, according to Dell Technologies.
Nvidia and Emerald AI said on Tuesday that they are joining forces with a group of major US power producers — including AES Corporation, Constellation Energy, Invenergy, NextEra Energy, Nscale Energy & Power, and Vistra — to develop a new generation of "AI factories" designed to come online faster and operate as active participants in the power grid.
US Senators Jim Banks and Elizabeth Warren, in a joint letter dated March 23, called on US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to suspend Nvidia's export licenses for advanced AI chips destined for China and intermediary Southeast Asian countries, including Singapore and Vietnam.
