Google pushes AI watchdog, TSMC invests $100B, Apple clears China, Gemini Notebook rebrands · 1 source tracked

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis is advocating for a US-led global AI standards body, similar to the IAEA, to establish governance and auditability for AI models. Concurrently, TSMC has committed an additional $100 billion to US-based fabrication plants, though the primary bottleneck for AI workloads remains in packaging and high-speed memory rather than raw compute. Apple's on-device AI features have received regulatory approval in China, integrating local providers like Alibaba and Baidu, which raises questions about data privacy for users. Meanwhile, Google's NotebookLM has been rebranded as Gemini Notebook, with an anticipated upgrade to Gemini 3.5 for AI Pro subscribers, though the broader Gemini launch has reportedly been delayed due to internal performance shortfalls.
