Tech’s biggest story today is how quickly AI is moving from boardroom slogan to social infrastructure. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang argued that society now needs new norms for living with AI, even as reports say the U.S. military is already using xAI’s Grok-derived tools in strikes against Iran, underscoring how fast the technology is being embedded in consequential decisions. Corporate America is racing to keep up: Allbirds is shedding its sneaker identity altogether, rebranding as Smartbird and betting its future on AI infrastructure under a new CEO, a pivot investors initially cheered. Meanwhile, the industry’s volatility is also on display in gaming, where reports suggest Microsoft had weighed shutting or selling Ninja Theory before unveiling its new “Senua” project. Even Washington’s maneuvering touched the tech sphere, as President Trump delayed Jay Clayton’s DNI nomination while pressing Congress on surveillance powers and voter ID legislation.
