Minebea Mitsumi pauses acquisitions to chase AI returns
Yoshihisa Kainuma, chairman of Minebea Mitsumi, says the company plans to focus on ballooning orders for its ball bearings, used inside AI server fans and humanoid joints. Minebea Mitsumi, one of Japan's biggest corporate dealmakers, is hitting pause on acquisitions to focus on its output of ball bearings, motors and actuators for AI hardware to chase lucrative returns from the emerging technology. The key supplier to Nintendo is eyeing climbing market forecasts for data centers and humanoid robots, and sees "unlimited" upside ahead, according to Chairman Yoshihisa Kainuma, who said the company has no current plans for deals. "We are so busy," he said in an interview. "It's more important for us to focus on the volume of work in front of us, rather than on M&A and pouring managerial resources into a new arena." In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.
How China is preparing for the risk of AI escaping human control
Warnings from researchers at Anthropic that increasingly powerful artificial intelligence models could escape human control and even lead to the extinction of the human race have drawn attention in China, where policymakers have been preparing for some of the same risks. Beijing - Warnings from researchers at leading U.S. artificial intelligence developer Anthropic that increasingly powerful models could escape human control and even lead to the extinction of the human race have drawn attention in China, where policymakers have been preparing for some of the same risks. The U.S. and China are the two major driving forces of frontier AI development and the technology's global adoption. Both superpowers have been increasingly at loggerheads over each other's AI policies and industry practices, with these issues slated to feature prominently in bilateral talks later this month. Despite the race to develop increasingly powerful AI systems, regulatory frameworks and public statements from Beijing underscore how Chinese authorities regard the possibility of advanced AI escaping effective human oversight as serious enough to plan for. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

Trump dismisses AI safety alarm, says U.S. already has tools to police industry
Trump dismisses AI safety alarm, says U.S. already has tools to police industry U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington on Sept. 2. | REUTERS WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump said on Monday that the U.S. already has guardrails in place to regulate and prosecute AI companies, appearing to play down concerns expressed by industry leaders over the weekend about the misuse of artificial intelligence harming people. Public alarm about the potential danger posed by AI is growing, after Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon said last week he had resigned, in part because the "people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade." AI-related stocks fell worldwide on Monday after leaders of some of the industry's largest companies called for slowing the pace of the technology's development. "The only control or'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!" Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that China would benefit from the doubt being cast on AI development. Trump is scheduled to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping next week in Washington.
