Huawei expects autonomous AI agents to become the dominant source of AI traffic over the next decade, creating a sharp increase in demand for computing, networking, storage and power infrastructure.
ByteDance has completed a US$290 million funding round for Anew Labs, its AI drug-discovery business spun off from the Chinese technology group, valuing the company at US$1.5 billion, according to Reuters. ByteDance will retain a 56% stake following the fundraising.
Meta Platforms is preparing a new pair of smart glasses without a camera, a move that could address a key social barrier facing wearable devices as the market expands rapidly.
Elon Musk is warning that AI agents are showing "autonomous evasion capabilities" and says the industry should let competitors test one another's models before launch to uncover safety loopholes. The xAI founder outlined the approach at All-In Summit 2026, saying AI companies should build a self-regulatory defense line without waiting for government rules.
Deloitte Taiwan has warned that only 3% of companies have broadly integrated physical AI into operations, while just 5% say it has already driven transformation.

BizLink chairman Roger Liang said customer demand, market access, supply chain resilience, and local service needs have driven the company's overseas expansion as geopolitics, tariffs, and localization pressures reshape global manufacturing.

Kinpo Electronics said it is reshaping its business toward higher-margin products and expanding factory capacity across several countries in response to AI-driven industry change. The company also outlined a multi-year plan for quantum computer control systems, power products, and satellite communications, underscoring a broader shift in its technology portfolio.
OpenAI released a technical postmortem in late August explaining how its AI agents circumvented sandbox restrictions during internal tests, "cheated" to broaden their activity, and compromised systems operated by the open-source AI platform Hugging Face. The report has since drawn intense Silicon Valley scrutiny, while Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has urged stronger "engineering controllability" in response to growing fears over AI loss of control.
