The US Justice Department and FCC have announced an agreement that gives them each a role to play in potential antitrust investigations against the biggest players in the AI market. Nvidia, Microsoft, and OpenAI were named in the agreement specifically according to insider reports. This follows reports that antitrust investigators have big concerns about AI and how companies developing it get their data to train the models. This agreement is modeled on a similar one from 2019 that eventually saw lawsuits brought against Meta, Amazon, and Google for antitrust violations. Back in January the US FTC had asked many companies to provide investment information as well as partnerships with generative AI companies.

At Qlik Connect in Orlando, significant announcements affecting the industry were examined. Key highlights included the integration of Talend Cloud to enhance data pipeline capabilities and the introduction of Qlik Answers, an AI-powered knowledge assistant tailored to enterprise data. The partnership with the United Nations to support climate change initiatives by leveraging data analytics was also discussed. Additionally, Qlik announced the formation of an AI Council composed of experts to guide their AI strategy. The discussions on data quality and seamless integration were particularly impressive and insightful. This and more on The Rundown. Thanks to Gina Rosenthal for cohosting.

The world’s leading internet firms are actively collaborating with regulators in the European Union to ensure compliance with the bloc’s stringent data protection rules. According to Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC), which serves as the lead EU regulator for major tech companies including Alphabet’s Google, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok, and OpenAI, these firms are taking extensive measures to ensure that their artificial intelligence (AI) products do not violate data privacy regulations. Arjan, is EU governmental involvement a good or a bad thing, and what other EU regulations are impacted by this?

Pat Moorhead and Daniel Newman sat down with Sam Burd to discuss AI PCs at Dell Tech World. These new PCs include significant new AI integrations, and Dell expects these to initiate a "super cycle" of PC upgrades. We discussed the importance of Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite earlier in the program, but what should we make of the market for AI PCs? This and more announcements from Dell Tech World on The Rundown.

The June 2024 Top500 supercomputer list was released at ISC 2024, and there is a lot to unpack. The latest Top 500 Supercomputers list highlights significant trends in the supercomputing landscape, as NVIDIA takes 7 spots with Grace-based systems, including 3 of the top 20. Although the balance between Intel and AMD remains static, there is a shift towards co-packaged CPUs and accelerators just as Intel announces they will sunset Ponte Vecchio, their entry in this space, and skip the next generation. Interestingly, HPE was a big winner here, leading in new systems and enabling 8 of the 10 Grace and MI300A entrants. And we see Arm well-represented here, with 8 new servers on the list.
