The world of artificial intelligence saw significant developments this past week, spanning from competitive crypto trading to critical infrastructure investments and enterprise adoption. On November 7, 2025, BingX, a cryptocurrency exchange, launched its AI Arena in Panama City, allowing users to observe AI models compete in live trading with $10,000 in real funds and then copy trades from top performers. This initiative aims to test LLM-based AI models and make AI-driven trading accessible to its global community of over 20 million users. Meanwhile, the utility of free AI coding tools was put to the test, with a review published on November 7, 2025, identifying only three chatbots as truly effective for coding tasks. Microsoft Copilot's free version emerged as the top performer, successfully passing all tests. ChatGPT's free tier and DeekSeek also performed well, completing three out of four tests. The review specifically advised against using the free versions of Claude, Meta, Grok, Perplexity, and Gemini for coding, noting that while coding agents are becoming more powerful, they are also growing more expensive. Major companies are also heavily investing in AI integration. On November 7, 2025, South Korean tech giant Naver announced a substantial $690 million investment in physical AI, partnering with Nvidia to secure 60,000 of its latest Blackwell GPUs. This represents the largest supply deal in Asia and is intended to bolster Naver's physical AI and robotics transformation, a sector its Chief Executive Choi Soo-yeon identifies as the company's next growth pillar. Elsewhere, retailers, banks, and beverage makers are rapidly adopting AI. Dollar Tree is transforming into an AI-enabled enterprise, while Tractor Supply Company has 1,500 employees utilizing OpenAI via Snowflake Data Lake for automation. Beverage giants Molson Coors and Coca-Cola Company are also making significant AI investments, with Coca-Cola allocating $1.1 billion in 2024 to explore Azure OpenAI Service and Copilot. In specialized fields, Jonathan Rothberg, founder of 4Catalyzer, discussed on November 6, 2025, how AI algorithms are poised to accelerate the analysis of vast genomic data, moving beyond single diseases to complex conditions and integrating DNA, RNA, and protein data. Industrial AI also took center stage at ADIPEC 2025, where SUPCON showcased its full-stack automation and autonomous operations technologies from November 3 to 6 in Abu Dhabi, serving over 35,000 customers globally. Cloud security is another area seeing AI's impact. A report on November 7, 2025, highlighted Cloud Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs) as crucial, with an IDC study supported by Microsoft revealing that 75% of organizations view cloud security as a top concern. AI-powered CNAPPs can help security teams respond 50% faster to incidents and automate 70% of routine tasks, despite a 30% rise in cloud attacks and a 55% skill gap. However, the rapid adoption also brings challenges. Europol's Deputy Executive Director Jürgen Ebner called for faster access to AI tools for law enforcement, noting that current EU laws like GDPR and the AI Act delay AI deployment by six to eight months. He proposed an emergency procedure for life-threatening situations, while clarifying it would not bypass strict rules on profiling or live facial recognition, also pointing out the high cost of AI tools. The article also pondered the potential bursting of an "AI bubble" in the defense industry, suggesting that if private investments drop, AI products might be re-branded as "data analytics," with national defense organizations potentially taking over basic AI research and development.

What Happens if the Defense AI Bubble Bursts
This article explores what might happen if the "AI bubble" in the defense industry bursts. If private investments and company valuations drop, defense contractors might start calling AI products "data analytics" instead. National defense organizations, like those in the United States, could then take over basic AI research and development. Contractors would also face pressure to tailor AI offerings to fix specific problems in defense applications. The author notes that AI is a dual-use technology, and previous AI downturns led to similar re-branding efforts.
