ElevenLabs, the London-based AI voice company, plans to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in India. Co-founder Mati Staniszewski confirmed the plan, noting the funds will support local teams, new models, and work on Indian languages. ElevenLabs already works with 250 enterprises in India and runs 100 million AI-agent conversations yearly across 14 Indian languages. The company partners with Karnataka to use voice AI for government services and counts customers like Physicswallah, Havells, and Razorpay.
ElevenLabs joins a wave of AI firms expanding into India. OpenAI and Anthropic have also grown their presence there, while Amazon, Microsoft, and Google have made multibillion-dollar commitments to build AI infrastructure in the region. Nvidia is among ElevenLabs' backers, alongside Goldman Sachs and Andreessen Horowitz. The company, founded in 2022, converts text into speech and handles tasks like booking appointments.
In other AI infrastructure news, Green Circle Decarbonize Technology is entering the AI data center market with liquid cooling systems. The company is leveraging proprietary phase change materials and industrial machinery technologies designed for high-density AI computing. The goal is to improve power usage effectiveness and lower energy costs. Green Circle is currently in early talks with data center operators.
UL Solutions launched a certification program for direct-to-chip liquid cooling subassemblies, applying the UL 4501 framework to components like cold plates and manifolds. The program covers parts used in AI data centers and high-density computing systems, positioning the company closer to critical AI infrastructure decisions where safety and performance standards influence long-term testing demand.
Zscaler used its 2026 Investor Day to outline an AI-focused security strategy. Founder and CEO Jay Chaudhry called AI the company's biggest business tailwind and laid out a path to over $8 billion in annual recurring revenue by fiscal 2031, with possible upside to $10 billion. Its Security for AI and data security offerings exceed $400 million and grew at a 31% compound annual growth rate. Customers including AkzoNobel, Marsh McLennan, and Merck shared how they use Zscaler for network security and AI governance.
Kiwoom Asset Management rebalanced its KIWOOM US AI Tech High Beta ETF, replacing 6 of its 30 holdings. Micron Technology became the largest position at a 10% weighting, followed by SpaceX at 7.70%. The fund also added Teradyne, USA Rare Earth, INNIO, and MaxLinear. USA Rare Earth, INNIO, and MaxLinear are held exclusively by this fund among all South Korea-listed ETFs. The asset manager used LLM-based analysis and high-beta screening to select new holdings.
On the consumer side, parents are increasingly using generative AI tools like ChatGPT to create school portraits instead of hiring photographers. One TikTok video showed parents taking simple photos of their kids against a plain wall and then using ChatGPT to make them look like school pictures. Others used AI to remove watermarks from sample school photos they had scanned, reflecting growing comfort with AI image tools for everyday tasks.
Homebuyers are also turning to AI. A recent survey found that 71% of homebuyers believe AI chatbots are more trustworthy than human loan officers. Lenders can build trust by offering personalized recommendations, clear explanations of loan terms, and targeted customer service through AI tools. Combining technology with a human touch remains key to connecting with these AI-informed buyers.
President Donald Trump promoted American manufacturing and the economy, discussing how AI infrastructure is creating blue-collar jobs. The Big Money Show reported that the AI-driven data center buildout is helping create over 7,000 blue-collar jobs nationwide. The discussion came as Trump urged voters to support Republicans ahead of a campaign visit to a Maryland logistics facility, focusing on how AI is fueling construction and manufacturing employment.
In defense and security, RapidFort and SpaceWERX entered a CRADA to collaborate on securing U.S. Space Force systems, focusing on AI software vulnerabilities and post-quantum cryptographic transitions. They plan to develop migration frameworks for quantum-resistant cryptography and harden container images for AI models used in space operations. Separately, researchers developed the Agent Policy-Value Audit to better evaluate financial LLM agents, finding that a standard evaluation falsely credited skill to passive exposure in 11.6% of no-skill cases, while the new audit reduced this to 5.3%.
Researchers also introduced AECG, a framework for managing memory in multi-agent systems powered by large language models. AECG addresses memory pollution and scope collapse, creating a dynamic reliability-governance loop that detects degradation using confidence-aware measures. Across three frameworks and four benchmarks, AECG achieved the best score in 11 of 12 settings and improved over competing methods by up to 10.23 percentage points.

New Audit Method Reveals Financial AI Agents May Not Actually Select Events Well
Researchers developed the Agent Policy-Value Audit to better evaluate financial LLM agents. The method separates how agents compose transitions from how they select specific events. In testing, a standard evaluation falsely credited skill to passive exposure in 11.6 percent of no-skill cases, while the new audit reduced this to 5.3 percent. When applied to 723 earnings events at 44 U.S. consumer-facing firms, the audit found the agent's value came from composition rather than selection. The agent earned a +25.8 composition benchmark but a -10.6 selection value, meaning it did not outperform random assignments.
AECG Framework Improves Reliability of Multi-Agent AI Systems Through Memory Governance
Researchers introduced AECG, a framework for managing memory in multi-agent systems powered by large language models. The framework addresses memory pollution, where outdated or incorrect procedures keep getting reused, and scope collapse, where knowledge spreads beyond its intended decision level. AECG creates a dynamic reliability-governance loop that detects degradation using confidence-aware measures and prioritizes high-risk knowledge. Across three frameworks and four benchmarks, AECG achieved the best score in 11 of 12 settings and improved over competing methods by up to 10.23 percentage points. Removing scope preservation reduced accuracy by up to 16.89 points.
