4. South Korea Warns of AI Threat to Democracy

Nvidia’s GPU Technology Conference or GTC is set to draw 300,000 in person and virtual attendees in what Bank of America analysts called “the Woodstock of AI.” The highlight is anticipated to be the B100, which is rumored to have double the power of the current generation H100.
