Apocalyptic scenarios of humanity being enslaved by artificial intelligence may remain in the fantasies of Hollywood screenwriters, but in real life, people are already having to compete with AI for resources. At the very least, it is already being used to acquire memory modules necessary for developing its own computing infrastructure. Researchers from Galileo, referenced by TechRadar, found that software bots are six times more likely to […]

The memory market crisis, triggered by the AI boom, is affecting many related industries. Manufacturers of solid-state drives have started to frequently revise contract prices and also require customers to make prepayments for product delivery. Similarly, the SSD controller developer, Phison, has acted. Phison's business model involves supplying partners with ready-made 'semi-finished products' for producing SSDs, which include […]
