IMF warns AI bubble could burst global economy; Microsoft integrates Copilot locally

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The International Monetary Fund has issued a stark warning that the current AI bubble could lead to a global economic downturn. This concern is amplified by significant investments in AI infrastructure, such as Nvidia's $1 billion commitment to bolster US scientific computing and TSMC's $2 billion deal with GlobalFoundries for advanced semiconductor production. Meanwhile, Microsoft is preparing to integrate its Copilot AI more deeply into file systems, raising questions about data security, and is reportedly shifting away from Intel chips towards Nvidia's SoCs for its Surface Laptop Ultra. In the cybersecurity realm, threats are evolving with AI-powered phishing and zero-day attacks on platforms like Microsoft SharePoint, though efforts are underway to use AI and hacker communities to harden critical infrastructure.
