☆ AI could power a health-care revolution, but there are some things we need to work out first
  + stars: | 2024-06-11 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Artificial intelligence has the potential to power a health and wellness revolution, but there are some points that need to be ironed out first. "We could literally cure breast cancer with AI," Barrett said, referring to an algorithm that can predict a woman's five-year risk of breast cancer. "A radiologist looked at it and said, 'She doesn't have breast cancer. AI said, 'I think she's going to have breast cancer in the next two to three years.' That is a game changer because breast cancer is curable if you catch it in stage one."

The companies trying to sell trucks to fleet operators are including driver-assist tech as a way to make the vehicles more attractive, Gui said. In addition, Chinese authorities require all newly manufactured trucks since 2022 to come with basic driver-assist tech for warning against forward collision and lane departure, Gui said. The startup claims its trucks cost about 5% less than traditional options, on top of safety and environmental benefits.

☆ U.S. chip export ban is 'great news,' says partner at Chinese tech investment fund
  + stars: | 2023-10-23 | by ( Lucy Handley | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
A partner at a Chinese semiconductor investment fund has welcomed the U.S. government's ban of certain advanced chip types to be exported to China, describing the move as "great news" which may stimulate a domestic ecosystem. Nvidia's H100 chip, used by AI firms in the U.S., was banned for sale in earlier U.S. government restrictions. Wang said the fund invests in semiconductor companies, including those in the AI training and autonomous vehicle sectors. One AI chip company Yang Cheng has invested in will launch its initial public offering this year, while a Shanghai-based AI chip firm is valued at more than $3 billion, Wang added, though she didn't name the firms. "We believe those kind of upstream chipmakers — they will drive, or they will play the leading role in China, and they will create their own ecosystem," Wang added.

☆ The U.S. is trying to tighten the screws on Chinese AI. What that means for stocks
  + stars: | 2023-10-22 | by ( Evelyn Cheng | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
The artificial intelligence behind ChatGPT-like products and autonomous driving is driving enormous demand for Nvidia's chips in China. Chinese companies also dominate the burgeoning electric car market , where Nvidia has had a fast-growing business of selling chips for assisted and fully autonomous driving. When it comes to such chips for cars, Nomura analysts said there's little reason to worry. Auto chip market BYD, Nio , Li Auto and Xpeng are among the China-based electric automakers using the Orin chip. In the automotive chip category, they noted Nvidia's Thor chip and Qualcomm's Snapdragon Ride Flex chip both fall into that more advanced category.

☆ Chinese listings overseas getting complicated despite growing interest, says NYSE's Ge

Traders work during the IPO for Chinese ride-hailing company Didi Global Inc on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) floor in New York City, U.S., June 30, 2021. There is strong appetite among Chinese companies to list on U.S. stock exchanges, but these IPOs have become a more complicated process, according to Kobe Ge, the head of China at the New York Stock Exchange. But they're not so familiar with the procedures, which have proved to be more challenging of late, he added. "Previously, listing in the U.S. was relatively easy," Ge said, noting it would take just four-and-a-half or five months for Chinese firms to complete a U.S. IPO. Amid a tepid U.S. IPO market, the handful of Chinese names that have been able to list this year have mostly been smaller companies.

The CEO of a firm focused on autonomous trucking believes huge change is coming to the sector — with humans and technology working hand in hand to transform the way goods are delivered. Wei said KargoBot was incubated by the Chinese ride-sharing powerhouse Didi for the past three years. KargoBot, he said, already has more than 100 autonomous driving trucks on the road, mainly on routes in Inner Mongolia, northern China. "They have been automatically driving and also, they are delivering goods, they are actually doing commercial operations already." The logistics market, Wei said, is worth more than $1 trillion, with KargoBot focusing on the delivery of raw material for manufacturers and factories.

☆ 'No question' that the decarbonization of shipping will contribute to inflation, says industry CEO
  + stars: | 2023-10-18 | by ( Lucy Handley | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
The cost of decarbonizing the shipping industry will have a knock-on effect on consumers, according to a CEO in the maritime industry. "There will be an inflationary impact coming from [the] decarbonization of shipping … there is no question of it," Bertrand Chen, CEO of the Global Shipping Business Network, told CNBC's East Tech West conference in the Nansha district of Guangzhou, China. New European rules that effectively tax shipping lines for their emissions would push up costs, Chen added. The European Union's Emissions Trading System (ETS) is set to be extended to the shipping industry starting in January 2024, meaning that large ships entering EU ports will be charged for their carbon dioxide emissions. Chen described the EU initiative as "a natural action that will lead to some interesting effects."
