X Tightens Grok Image Generation Following International Backlash

X said it is restricting image generation and editing features tied to Grok, limiting access to paid users after the chatbot was used to create non-consensual sexualized images of real people, including minors. In an update posted by the X Safety account on Wednesday, the company added technical restrictions to limit how users can edit images of real people through Grok. The move followed reports that the AI generated sexualized pictures in response to simple prompts, including requests to place...

AI, Impersonations Drove Crypto Scam Losses to Record $17 Billion in 2025: Chainalysis

In 2025, crypto scams became faster, more convincing, and more profitable as artificial intelligence and impersonation tactics pushed estimated losses to a record $17 billion, according to a new report by blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis.

According to Chainalysis’ report released Tuesday, the average scam payment rose to $2,764 in 2025, up from $782 a year earlier—a 253% increase. “On a time-weighted basis, you get fa...

China's Z.AI Releases First Major AI Image Generation Model Trained Without American Chips

Chinese artificial intelligence firm Z.AI on Wednesday released an open-source image generation model trained entirely on Huawei processors, marking the first time a major AI model has completed its full training cycle without relying on American hardware. The move highlights a potential long-term challenge to Nvidia’s dominance in AI chips, since it shows that one of China’s top AI companies can train large models without relying on U.S.-made GPUs. The model is already available for download on...

People with direct knowledge of the project claim V4 outperforms both Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's GPT series in internal benchmarks, particularl...

Emerge's 2025 Story of the Year: How the AI Race Fractured the Global Tech Order

The great unraveling began with a single number: $256,000. DeepSeek, a year-old Chinese startup, claimed it spent that relatively small sum training an AI model that matched the capabilities of OpenAI—which spent over a hundred million dollars to get to the same place. When the app hit Apple's store in January, Nvidia lost $600 billion in a single trading day, which was the largest one-day wipeout in market history. The technical feat aside, DeepSeek’s efficiency breakthrough quickly ignited a g...
