AI Landscape Evolves with Breakthroughs in Gun Detection, Siri Features, and AI-Driven Economic Revival

In a rapidly evolving AI landscape, several key developments are making headlines. A bill aiming to ban AI gun detection technology in public places has been filed in Florida, while Palantir and SoundHound AI are emerging as key players in the AI sector, each with distinct investment profiles. Meanwhile, BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. has seen a remarkable stock surge of 102.6%, driven by a major Department of Defense contract to enhance the Virtual Anticipation Network with AI and machine learning. Apple's competitive edge in AI hinges on three unreleased Siri features, including personal context understanding, onscreen awareness, and in-app actions. In China, the rapid adoption of DeepSeek's AI models is undermining the 'peak China' myth, and Goldman Sachs has raised its target price for Chinese stocks on AI boost. The UK government has also signed a memorandum of understanding with Anthropic to explore how its AI can help UK government agencies enhance public services. Additionally, the FDA is targeting its AI division for cuts, even as the Trump administration invests in the technology. Researchers at IIT Kharagpur have developed a new framework using blockchain-based technology and token-based incentivisation to securely and fairly share data to train an AI model.
