Several developments are unfolding in the AI space. CASH Group launched Quantphemes, an AI trading platform for retail investors, on July 2, 2025, offering advanced trading tools powered by machine learning. In related news, a webinar on AI governance is scheduled for July 22, 2025, featuring experts from SISA discussing AI security and regulatory changes. Meanwhile, Egypt's National Telecommunication Institute has trained 1,300 new AI graduates through its 'Artificial Intelligence Ambassadors' program, adding to the 2,610 already trained. The increasing demand for AI is impacting energy costs, as highlighted by the upcoming PJM power auction, which last year saw $14.7 billion spent on power. This increased demand from data centers is raising concerns about wealth shifting from consumers to tech companies. Lynchburg University staff will discuss their AI initiatives, including the use of Google Gemini, in an EDUCAUSE webinar on August 7. Nvidia is resuming AI chip sales in China with its H20 chip, though supply will be limited. In the political sphere, an AI-powered botnet on X, formerly Twitter, that supported MAGA talking points, malfunctioned due to the Jeffrey Epstein files. Senator Dave McCormick has discussed plans to make Pennsylvania an AI hub, potentially supported by President Trump's plans to invest up to $90 billion in the state's energy infrastructure. Finally, AI is also making strides in scientific research, with AI designing physics experiments that improve on human designs, such as enhancing the sensitivity of gravitational-wave detectors.

AI boom may raise power costs for US consumers
The biggest US power auction will show how AI impacts consumer energy costs. PJM, which manages the largest US grid, will release its annual power sale results. Last year, PJM spent $14.7 billion on power. Increased demand from data centers is driving up costs, raising concerns for consumers. The AI industry's energy use could shift wealth from regular customers to tech companies.
Lynchburg University staff to discuss AI on EDUCAUSE webinar
Sandra Perez and Charley Butcher from the University of Lynchburg will discuss AI initiatives in an EDUCAUSE webinar on August 7. The webinar, titled 'Powering Pedagogy Lynchburg and the Gemini Blueprint,' will explore how Lynchburg uses AI. They will explain how the university is embedding AI into daily life. They will also discuss using Google Gemini for safe and ethical AI use.
Nvidia restarts AI chip sales in China amid supply concerns
Nvidia is resuming AI chip sales in China with its H20 chip. However, supply will be limited, and production won't restart immediately. US authorities lifted export restrictions, but restocking H20 could take nine months. Chinese AI firms like Alibaba and Baidu want the chips, even though H20 is less powerful than Nvidia's H100 and H200.
AI botnet praising MAGA broken by Jeffrey Epstein scandal
An AI-powered botnet on X, formerly Twitter, that supported MAGA talking points has malfunctioned. The botnet used AI to generate responses flattering Trump supporters.

The botnet's effectiveness is questionable, but it reveals AI's growing role in politics.
Senator McCormick discusses AI hub and nuclear power in Pennsylvania
Senator Dave McCormick discussed making Pennsylvania an AI hub and increasing nuclear energy. President Trump plans to invest up to $90 billion in Pennsylvania's energy infrastructure. McCormick spoke on 'Bloomberg Open Interest' about these efforts.
AI designs bizarre physics experiments that actually work
Artificial intelligence is designing new physics experiments that improve on human designs. AI software created by physicist Mario Krenn helps design experiments in quantum optics. Physicist Rana Adhikari used AI to improve gravitational-wave detectors like LIGO. The AI created a design that could make LIGO 10-15% more sensitive. AI is becoming a powerful tool for designing experiments and finding patterns in complex data.
