OpenAI reverses stance, urges California to strengthen AI safety bill SB 53 Chinese AI chipmaker Cambricon hands out $828k average stock reward per core staff member Global auto parts shortage squeezes smart vehicle makers as AI demand soaks up supply A Eye on AI - 12:30 PM On this episode: OpenAI shockingly now backs stronger safeguards for California's SB 53 AI safety law, reversing its earlier opposition. Chinese tech giants like Cambricon and AMEC are rolling out record employee stock grants to win the talent war in the US-China tech race. And a global shortage of tiny components like PCBs and MLCCs — driven partly by the AI boom — is raising costs and squeezing margins for smart vehicle makers. Tune in for a clear, non-technical breakdown of how AI is reshaping policy, labor, and industry.
