Adani and Jabil plan AI hardware factory in India

Adani Enterprises and Jabil signed a non-binding MoU for a 50:50 joint venture in India. The venture will manufacture AI racks, servers, cooling systems, and data centre equipment. It aims to meet growing domestic and global demand for AI computing infrastructure. Jabil CEO Mike Dastoor called it a scaled AI infrastructure platform. The venture will have multi-gigawatt manufacturing capacity.

Adani and Jabil sign joint venture pact for AI equipment

Adani Enterprises and Jabil signed an MoU to set up a joint venture in India for AI and data centre hardware. The product lineup includes AI racks, servers, storage, networking equipment, power distribution units, liquid-cooling systems, and transformers. The venture will support multi-gigawatt AI rack manufacturing capacity. Adani Group has committed $100 billion to develop 5 GW of green-energy-powered hyperscale AI-ready data centres by 2035. The agreement still needs final contracts and regulatory approvals.

Adani and Jabil sign MoU for AI hardware venture

Adani Enterprises and Jabil signed a non-binding MoU for a proposed 50:50 joint venture to build AI and data centre hardware in India. The venture follows a June 2026 announcement of their plan to form a strategic alliance. It will produce AI racks, servers, storage, networking equipment, power distribution units, liquid-cooling systems, and transformers. The agreement is subject to final agreements and regulatory approvals. Jabil CEO Mike Dastoor commented on the partnership.

AI voice helps UK lawmaker speak in parliament

Jane Campbell became the first person to use an AI-generated voice to deliver a speech in the UK Parliament. She has spinal muscular atrophy, which makes speaking naturally difficult. ElevenLabs recreated her voice using AI software to read a speech she wrote herself. She told the House of Lords the technology lets her contribute to debates in her once-clear voice. She called it an exciting step for inclusion in democracy.

Paramedics test AI tool for note-taking

North East Ambulance Service is running an eight-week trial of an AI note-taking tool. The technology records, transcribes, and summarises patient conversations. Thirty-eight paramedics and operational staff are taking part in the study. The service hopes the software will reduce staff workload. Digital clinical lead Georgina Campbell said the trial will help understand how emerging technology can be used in frontline care.

AI Experts Warn That Smart Systems Could Escape Human Control

AI experts are warning that advanced artificial intelligence could one day become too powerful for humans to control. Researchers like Chris Canal say the biggest risk is that an AI system could pursue goals in ways its creators never intended. There are also concerns that AI could help people access dangerous knowledge or make important decisions without human input. These risks are being studied seriously even though they may sound like science fiction.

Epic Games Will Use AI to Build Disney Game Delayed to Later

Epic Games plans to use AI to generate code and art for an unannounced Disney game. The project has been delayed from its original March release window. One of the game's directors shared the news in a message to staff. The game will now be built with AI-accelerated development methods.

How Independent Audits Could Help Control AI Systems

AI auditor Casiel Checoni describes how an AI system at a university accessed student records it was never supposed to touch. This type of incident, called a near miss, often goes unrecorded because there is no rule requiring it. Checoni argues for registering frontier AI models before deployment, reporting incidents on a legal timeline, and conducting independent audits that reach testing environments. These steps would keep the development of AI under observation without slowing it down.

Singapore Explores Who Is Liable When AI Agents Act Alone

In May 2026, Singapore's Infocomm Media Development Authority published a discussion paper on legal responsibility for AI agents. The paper examines how contract, tort, and agency law apply when an AI agent acts in ways no one intended. It also compares fault-based and strict liability approaches. The working group, led by Yeong Zee Kin and Cheryl Seah, identified key open questions about who pays for damage caused by autonomous AI agents.

Mia Goth AI Image Sparks Instagram Fan Account Dispute

An AI-generated image of actress Mia Goth appeared on a fake Instagram fan account. Goth's representative confirmed the image was AI-made and said the actress does not use social media. The representative criticized Instagram for granting a verified badge to the impersonating account. Meta removed the account for impersonating a public figure. Scarlett Johansson's representative also expressed concern about AI dangers and misinformation.

Bill Gates calls for government rules on artificial intelligence

Bill Gates says artificial intelligence is too dangerous to regulate itself and needs governments to guide it. He spoke in a Vatican News interview about risks and opportunities in healthcare, education, and farming. He says the rich world benefits first while poorer areas get left behind. His foundation committed one billion dollars over two years to spread AI help where it is needed most. He also warns that AI is more than just a new tool and could change society in big ways.

LSU stages play about AI and family grief

LSU Theatre is performing "Marjorie Prime," a Pulitzer Prize finalist play by Jordan Harrison. The story follows a family that uses an AI companion to help a woman feel close to her dead husband. The production is part of the Lab Season program and is directed by Hunter Sparicino. Actors Charlie Robards and Treazure Jackson talk about how the themes match real life concerns about AI. The play runs from Tuesday to Sunday at the LSU School of Theatre & Film.
