Huawei exec rejects idea that advanced chip shortage will hamper China's AI ambitions
A senior executive at Chinese technology giant Huawei on Thursday dismissed the idea that a shortage of the most advanced artificial intelligence chips will hinder the country's aim to be a leader in AI, but said innovation is needed to address the issue. The comments by Zhang Ping'an, CEO of Huawei Cloud, comes amid tighter U.S. restrictions on advanced AI chip shipments to China including a ban on sales there by companies such as U.S. giant Nvidia. "Nobody will deny that we are facing limited computing power in China... But we cannot rely solely on having the AI chips with the advanced manufacturing process nodes as the ultimate foundation for AI infrastructure,” Zhang told a forum at the World AI Conference in Shanghai, a three-day event that kicked off on Thursday.

"Failed" Australian corporate watchdog should be spilt in two, Senate inquiry finds
(Reuters) -Australia's corporate watchdog should be split into two after "comprehensively" failing in its role, including by not taking action against offenders and focusing more on managing its reputation, a months-long Senate inquiry found on Wednesday.

"It is clear ASIC has failed," said Senator Andrew Bragg, who also chaired the Senate Economics Committee that delivered the final report after a 20-month-long inquiry.
