    Turing Award winners and academicians clash at Shanghai Dishui Lake: the security, computing power, and governance of AI's next decade

    The AI parallel forum of the 2026 World Laureates Forum was held on October 30 in Lingang, Shanghai. Turing Award winners Martin Hellman and Jack Dongarra, along with academicians He Jifeng, Chen Yunji, and others, discussed "The Next Decade: The Development and Governance of Artificial Intelligence." Hellman called for the establishment of cross-border regulatory mechanisms and safety guardrails; Dongarra cautioned that peak hardware performance does not equal actual application efficiency; and Chen Yunji proposed that AI designing chips and chips in turn feeding AI could form an RSI (recursive self-improvement) loop. The forum also released the "Personal Robot Security and Privacy Protection (SSP) White Paper," which put forward three major principles: a sense of boundaries, greater transparency, controllability, and accountability.

    Man Unhappy With Being Found Fully At Fault for Rear-End Collision, Turns to AI and Then Asks Traffic Police to Study Traffic Rules

    A man in Shanghai was judged fully at fault by traffic police after his bicycle rear-ended an e-bike ahead of him. Unhappy with the ruling, he turned to AI for help, and the AI's explanation led him to instead demand that the traffic police study traffic rules. The traffic police explained that the vehicle ahead had braked suddenly as a reasonable evasive maneuver to avoid a turning vehicle and had committed no violation; the real cause of the rear-end collision was that the following vehicle had not maintained a safe following distance.

    On the Eve of the AI Bubble Bursting: Hardware Price Increases, Token Price Declines, and the Tech Stock Selloff

    The article takes the major U.S. stock market decline on October 31, 2026 as its entry point, noting that Intel fell 28.58% in a single day, Google fell 12.64%, and Reddit fell 29%, with even better-than-expected earnings still met with selling. The author argues that although AI Coding boosts productivity tenfold, product revenue struggles to grow in tandem; Token prices from Claude Opus 4.5 to DeepSeek Flash 4.1 fell 50-100 times this year, compressing the profits of relay stations. Rising memory and flash storage prices are pushing up smartphone costs, Apple has stopped releasing the standard iPhone, and Intel forecasts that the PC market will shrink 12% in 2026.

    Nobel laureate Omar Yaghi first proposes "selection science": how to make the right choices in the era of AI-created matter

    Omar M. Yaghi, winner of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, first proposed "selection science" at the 2026 World Laureates Forum, advocating making choices from a vast number of possibilities based on facts rather than intuition and experience. He cited as an example that his team used GPT to design crystallization conditions for covalent organic materials; after several rounds of iteration, they proposed 96 conditions, and the resulting materials had crystallization performance three times that of work over the past several years. His team also selected a carbon dioxide capture material from 10 to the 3000th power possibilities, and has sold the first commercial device for harvesting water from desert sunlight.

    Is intelligent driving entering the era of physical AI? 7 industry guests give their latest judgments

    At the 8th Intelligent Driving Conference held in Suzhou, guests from companies and universities including Momenta, Cao Cao Mobility, and ModelBest gave their judgments on world models, reinforcement learning, on-device large models, and vehicle-road-cloud integration, believing that intelligent driving is becoming the earliest testing ground for physical AI to be deployed. Momenta said its assisted driving system has been installed in more than 1.3 million passenger vehicles, with cumulative real-world driving of about 20 billion kilometers, and it plans to upgrade its R7 world model from about 1 billion parameters to the roughly 100-billion-parameter level of R9. ModelBest proposed the "density law," saying the intelligence density of global open-source large models doubles about every 100 days.

    AI drug discovery stands at the crossroads of bubble and validation: domestic financing in the first nine months of 2026 reached 15.765 billion yuan, exceeding the total of the previous three years

    In the first nine months of 2026, the domestic AI drug discovery sector completed 57 investments, with 44 companies receiving financing, for a disclosed total of 15.765 billion yuan, exceeding the combined total of the three years from 2023 to 2025; however, the four largest deals totaled approximately 9.5 billion yuan, accounting for 60%. Guofang Venture Capital estimates target valuation premiums of roughly 40% to 180%; the industry's pipeline grew from 4 in 2017 to about 179, of which 9 have entered Phase III clinical trials. Huawei's pharmaceutical unit, Anthropic's Claude Science, and ByteDance's Anew Labs have successively entered the field, while data silos and clinical validation remain the main bottlenecks.

    IBM Consulting's Hou Junwei: AI reduces the work, so why isn't the money rolling in?

    A survey of 1,000 global business executives by the IBM Institute for Business Value and Oxford Economics found that 91% of enterprises expect to adopt AI-enabled AMS within a few years, but only 3% have actually made meaningful progress. 86% of AMS contracts still pay based on labor input and ticket volume, so AI's reduction of manual input actually lowers revenue; more than 70% of enterprises (76% in China) consider this the main constraint. The report recommends restructuring contracts, redesigning workflows, and clearly defining where freed-up resources should be reinvested.
