U.S. AI investment seen up 40%, widening gap with Europe
U.S. companies’ push to increase artificial intelligence investment is expected to widen the gap with Europe. Oxford Economics forecast real U.S. spending on new AI hardware and infrastructure will rise 40% by the end of 2027 from 2021, versus 12% in the euro zone. Global AI funding has expanded sharply, with 2025 investment up 129.9% to $581.69 billion. Regulators warn of an investment bust if returns disappoint.

How fast is Chinese AI catching up with the U.S.? Tech world divided
One of the most important yet hardest-to-assess issues in AI security is how quickly China is developing top-tier AI models, Axios reported. China’s Z.ai drew attention with its open-source GLM-5.2 model, which was seen as matching Anthropic Opus4.8 in agentic capabilities. While some assessments say the U.S. lead has nearly vanished, others argue benchmarks do not prove China has solved compute and infrastructure constraints needed for frontier competition.

Stanford AI Index to correct South Korea\'s notable model count to 8
South Korea’s tally of notable AI models released in 2025 in Stanford University’s AI Index 2026 report will be corrected to 8 from 5, the Ministry of Science and ICT said on Wednesday. The ministry said Stanford’s Human-Centered AI Institute omitted some models and would make the correction after the ministry requested additional verification. The revised list includes models from Upstage, LG AI Research, NC AI, SK Telecom and Naver Cloud.
