While the AI bubble feels like the internet bubble of 1999, it may actually be larger and scarier with an unstable US economy and greater exposure for Big Tech (Fred Vogelstein/Crazy Stupid Tech)

We remember the internet bubble. This mania looks and feels the same.
The AI revolution is three years old Nov. 30. In just 36 months AI has gone from great-new-toy, to global phenomenon, to where we are today - debating whether we are in one of the biggest technology bubbles or booms in modern times. To us there is no debate. There is too much spending, too much leverage, too many crazy deals, and too much competition from China for us not to see big bumps ahead.

"Artificial intelligence might be the most transformative technology in generations. It is also the most joyless.
While Wall Street greets AI with open arms, ordinary Americans respond with ambivalence, anxiety, even dread."

After years of patient investment, China is on the cusp of a robotics revolution.

If embodied intelligence
— think AI-powered robots that can navigate the real world
— is the next frontier of AI, then China appears poised to dominate.
Though the United States still has distinct advantages in software, advanced AI chips and foundational research, China leads in robot hardware, deployment and policy support.

Last year, China installed nearly 300,000 robots in its fact…

The Chinese robots are coming
China is miles ahead in the race to dominate a technology that could define the 21st century.

A Genetic Algorithm Approach to Anti-Jamming UAV Swarm Behavior
In recent years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have brought a new true revolution to military tactics. While UAVs already constitute an advantage when operating alone, multi-UAV swarms expand the available possibilities, allowing the UAVs to collaborate and support each other as a team to carry out a given task. This entails the capability to exchange information related with situation awareness and action coordination by means of a suitable wireless communication technology. In such scenario…
