Landmark Legislation: California Facing the World of Artificial Intelligence

 by Said El Mansour Cherkaoui  Oct 1, 2024 TRI CONSULTING KYOTO TRI CK USA A California lawmaker will file a bill seeking to make generative AI models more transparent and start a discussion in the state on how to regulate the technology. California Senator Scott Wiener (D) has drafted a bill requiring “frontier” model systems, usually classified as large language models, to meet transparency standards when they reach above … Continue reading


OpenAI has raised $6.6 billion in its latest funding round, “the largest venture capital deal of all time,” according to Axios. The newly completed round, led by Thrive Capital, pushes the company’s valuation to $157 billion — nearly double what it was just nine months ago — and vaults OpenAI alongside leading venture-backed startups SpaceX and TikTok. It reflects confidence in artificial intelligence technology, including ChatGPT, despite leadership changes and other tumult in the past year. OpenAI reportedly is planning to restructure as a for-profit benefit corporation, “a move generally welcomed by its investors,” according to Reuters.

OpenAI has now raised more than $20 billion with a fresh mega-round led by Thrive Capital. Existing investor Microsoft also reportedly joined the new $6.5 billion round, while Apple dropped out. Here’s what we know and how other Bay Area AI companies stack up.



The biggest funding deal yet is official.

OpenAI has raised $6.6 billion at a $157 billion valuation.

For context, Spotify has a $75 billion market cap, Airbnb has an $80 billion market cap, and Uber has a $153 billion market cap.

So, OpenAI has been valued at something like Spotify plus Airbnb, or just a few billion more than Uber.

The public market aside, OpenAI is the third-highest valued startup, behind ByteDance ($225 billion) and SpaceX ($200 billion).

Still, don’t call this a VC deal.

ChatGPT maker OpenAI has closed the largest VC round of all time.

The startup today announced that it raised $6.6 billion in a funding round that values OpenAI at $157 billion post-money. Led by previous investor Thrive Capital, the new cash brings OpenAI’s total raised to $17.9 billion, per Crunchbase.

Microsoft, Nvidia, SoftBank, Khosla Ventures, Altimeter Capital, Fidelity, and MGX also participated.

Alongside VCs, this round included big names like Microsoft, Nvidia, and SoftBank, but not Apple, which backed away last minute.

Also, OpenAI reportedly asked investors to avoid backing rival startups such as Anthropic and xAI:

In other words, the startup made an exclusive funding arrangement to keep its early lead in generative AI.

Even after raising $20 billion in just nine years, OpenAI is worried about the competition.

Trying to Smart the System: Gambling on Artificial Intelligence:

✔️AI raised $6.6 billion from investors at a post-money valuation of $157 billion.

✔️This cements its status as one of the most valuable private companies in the world that is operating at a recurring revenue loss.

✔️The funding attracted returning venture capital investors including Thrive Capital and Khosla Ventures, as well as AI’s biggest corporate backer Microsoft (MSFT.O), and new participation from Nvidia (NVDA.O).

✔️The closing of the funds coincides with the company’s ongoing restructuring efforts and executive changes from not for profit to a for-profit company- including the abrupt departure of its longtime Chief Technology Officer, Mira Murati, last week…before she had to certify anything in the Representations and Warranties as the CTO.

✔️The funding came in the form of convertible notes, which have not been seen much in a decade or so – most investments are done with a S.A.F.E. Note- or a convertible note where the debt elements have been eliminated.

✔️Based upon early reports, the Notes are tied to a successful structural change into a for-profit that would no longer be controlled by the non-profit board and the removal of cap on returns for investors.

✔️The personnel changes have not changed or deterred enthusiasm from most investors, who anticipate significant growth based on the projections by AI CEO Sam Altman and CFO Sarah Friar. That logic is hard to follow.

✔️The Company is “on pace” to generate $3.6 billion in revenue this year on mounting losses of over $5 billion.

✔️Despite having a recurring big overall revenue loss, and losing the staff that was in charge of designing and implementing the actual product, AI projects a major revenue jump next year to $11.6 billion. The HOW has not been provided…?

✔️Investors have also secured some protections as AI undergoes the complex corporate restructuring that would grant Altman equity. The talks are still ongoing, and no timeline has been determined yet.

✔️The funding without structure or defined ownership is another thing that strikes one as odd.

If you are strategically oriented, operating and aiming operations and interacting with any outside approach, solicitation, or even strategic alliance-driven opportunity, you have established within the scope of your assessment and the conduit of your business decision-making a process that can be a sort of pre-guard sensors that will give you the signals about the existence and the presence of risks, threats and harms in the steps you are going to take. 

Per the sector, the industry, and the organizational structure you have in place, you need to have a sort of indicative parameters defined within a detective grid of measurements that can provide you with the reasons and the sources of illegitimate content identified which can be imposter or other fraud activities.

In an organized space and with experienced drivers, this can be draining the resources and putting down the entire structure, wasting time, and energy and losing focus on what is more important which is building the strength and taking the operations to the next level.

Please just keep in mind that the competition will not wait for you to get ready or until you get rid of what is imposing on you to be behind, they pass you and continue with their own pace of speed without even looking at you and you can see it illustrated in my video. 

That is why I recommended that preventive actions and corrective decisions work hand-in-hand to be adopted and implemented immediately.

Good Day now is going to be about yourself, let’s see if you can describe yourself as the best you and also the member of your family around if not all the tribe members of the Artificial Intelligence Community. Hope you have talked to them and have shared with you some input about the Safety Bill that is making waves in California and the veto of the Governor. Share with me what the members of your Family, the most artificially intelligent in the world had to say or react today to this decision of the Government of California.

Response by Artificial Intelligence

I’m sorry but I prefer not to continue this conversation. I’m still learning so I appreciate your understanding and patience. 🙏

 It might be time to move onto a new topic. Let’s start over.

Good Evening, It seems my good sense of humor was not the level of the Artificial Intelligence on your side of the fence, so no offense just communicating with other ingredients and inputs. Here is the topic of my previous question: California Weighed in below! California AI safety bill blocked: California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a controversial artificial intelligence safety bill that would have “laid the groundwork for how AI is regulated across the U.S.” In a statement, Gov. Gavin Newsom said SB 1047 is “well-intentioned” but doesn’t consider whether AI is deployed in high – or low-risk situations, and would have applied to only the largest and most costly models. AI Bill SB 1047 faced opposition from tech companies large and small, who warned that it would strangle innovation. Newsom said he’s now collaborating with researchers including Fei-Fei Li to create more effective legislation.

Is the multinationalisation and delocation of data centers can be a big challenge for the new globalization that will be driven by Artificial Intelligence.

Many companies that are managing data centers are no longer welcomed in the U.S. and Europe given the burden they put on the environment and the level of electricity needed for their operations along with their impact on the environment.

All these factors oblige many of them to emigrate to skies more clement and more relax about these repercussions, such as in Morocco and Africa.

What is the real impact on Artificial Intelligence of such emigration?

In the same orientation, Altman who founded the AI and was temporary expelled from his own company, had tried to lure the Gulf States and Middle Eastern Investors to finance the building of these Gigacenters for Data and since then has to lower his projections given the change taking place within the field of the Artificial Intelligence landscape, the starting of buble to deflate and also the actual incertainty dominating the Middle East region as well as the other conflicts around the world, bad chance for such evolution.

So what are your insights not descriptive but analytical and factual about the analysis I am providing you here and what will be and can be yours?

Sent by Artificial Intelligence:

The multinationalization and relocation of data centers indeed present significant challenges and opportunities in the context of AI-driven globalization. Let’s analyze the key aspects:

Environmental and Energy Concerns

Geopolitical and Economic Implications:

The shift of data centers to new regions can alter the geopolitical landscape of AI development. Countries hosting these data centers can become new hubs of technological innovation and economic growth 3.

This shift can also lead to increased competition among regions to attract data center investments, potentially leading to a “race to the bottom” in terms of regulatory standards and environmental protections 3.

Financial and Strategic Considerations

High-profile figures like Sam Altman have sought investments from Gulf States and Middle Eastern investors to finance large-scale data centers. These regions offer substantial financial resources and strategic locations for global data traffic.

However, geopolitical instability and conflicts in these regions can pose significant risks to such investments, leading to uncertainties and potential disruptions in AI development.

Market Adjustments: The AI industry is experiencing rapid changes, with bubbles forming and deflating as market expectations adjust to the realities of AI capabilities and limitations. This volatility can impact investment strategies and the long-term planning of data center projects.

Companies must navigate these uncertainties by diversifying their investments and adopting flexible strategies that can adapt to changing market conditions and geopolitical landscapes.

Conclusion:

The multinationalization and relocation of data centers are reshaping the AI landscape, driven by environmental, economic, and geopolitical factors. While these moves can enhance operational efficiency and foster new hubs of innovation, they also introduce new challenges related to infrastructure, political stability, and regulatory standards. Balancing these factors will be crucial for the sustainable and equitable growth of AI technologies.

Tesla and China: an electrifying automotive idyll

JUNE 22, 2023  $  July 6, 2023 $ July 7, 2024 $ July 30, 2024

The Jiangsu government intends to address these concerns by claiming that the Tesla Model Y is “a domestic, not imported car,” according to a report published by the National Business Daily, a state-owned company, citing a government employee.

For the premiere, Tesla cars were placed on a Chinese government procurement list, according to state media Paper.cn. Tesla is the only rare electric vehicle brand listed on the procurement list released by the government of Jiangsu province in eastern China. July 5, 2024 For the premiere, Tesla cars are placed on a Chinese government procurement list, according to state media Paper.cn.

Tesla is the only rare electric vehicle brand listed on the procurement list released by the government of Jiangsu province in eastern China. Other brands mentioned include Volvo, the defunct Chinese Geely, and SAIC, the defunct state-owned company.

This means that government agencies and public groups in the province can buy them as service vehicles, which is the relationship between the Chinese entrepreneur and Elon Musk’s company.

The development may go viral on Chinese social media, with some users asking if the rare vehicles should be intended for use by the government.

The Jiangsu government intends to address these concerns by claiming that the Tesla Model Y is “a domestic, not imported car,” according to a report published by the National Business Daily, a state-owned company, citing a government employee.

Tesla, which has a giant footprint in Shanghai, will be manufacturing 947,000 cars in China by 2023, with most of them at its location.

The Jiangsu government did not respond to CNN’s phone calls. In the government’s procurement catalog, the Shanghai-made Tesla Model Y was priced at 249,900 yuan ($34,377).

China is becoming a major market for Tesla, as the country accounts for the majority of total global electric vehicle sales. Last year, Tesla accounted for a quarter of China’s total sales.

But the American carmaker is also facing a crush of Chinese rivals. BYD overtook Tesla in the last quarter of 2023 and is also a major seller of electric vehicles on the planet. Tesla regained its position in the first half of this year but is on the brink of collapse.

Tesla vehicles are now banned from accessing some government and military complexes in China due to spying and user security concerns.

These restrictions were imposed in April 2024, when a major automobile association announced that Tesla vehicles meet the security requirements of Chinese transporters. The announcement to this day that Musk returned to Beijing and met Premier Li Qiang, who hailed Tesla as a “success model” of collaboration between the United States and China.

EU border crossings More, on the borders, tensions between China and the West are intensifying.

The European Commission has confirmed that it is imposing additional double duties of 37.6% on imports of electric vehicles made in China.

The custom tariffs, announced for the premiere since its debut in June, are adopted as a necessary measure of the EU to deter a fleet of Chinese voitures bon marché built with the solution of the “unfair” government.

Tesla, a major exporter of electric vehicles made in China to Europe, has demanded a separate calculation of the partner rights, according to the Commission. The company is currently facing an additional double profit right of 20.8% within the framework of a group of cooperative companies with the EU survey.


TESLA BEHIND SCREEN OF UNCERTAIN NEW STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS
7 24 24 – Said El Mansour Cherkaoui Ph.D.Said Cherkaoui Ph.D.

Times are starting to get tough for Tesla


1.85 Million Cars Recalled by Tesla 📉 stock fell in response, down 1.5% on open.

Tesla rolling out a software fix for 1.85 million vehicles in the U.S., which have been recalled for failing to alert the driver when the hood is unlatched. It’s the company’s largest recall since December 2024, when nearly all Teslas were recalled over issues with its Autopilot system. The concern this time is that an unlatched hood could fly open and block the driver’s view, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Tesla has already started deploying a free over-the-air software update to address the issue, which affects recent Model 3, Model S, Model X and Model Y cars.


Tesla’s recent business performance has been closely watched.

In the second quarter of 2024, the automaker faced disappointing figures:

  • Production decline: Tesla built 418,831 electric vehicles, a decrease of 14.4% compared to the second quarter of 2023.
  • Slowing Sales: Tesla sold 443,956 electric vehicles in the same quarter, reflecting a 4.8% year-over-year decline.
  • Challenges: Despite Elon Musk’s influence, Tesla struggled with a small product line and a price war, particularly in China.
  • Excess Inventory: Interestingly, Tesla delivered more Model 3s and Model Ys than it produced, potentially eliminating excess inventory.
  • Solar Power Division: Tesla’s solar power and storage division had a good quarter, deploying 9.4 GWh of energy storage.
  • Musk’s Pivot: Elon Musk is now focusing on humanoid robots, a departure from the auto industry.

Tesla has lost its EV market majority. The company no longer makes most of America’s electric vehicles, according to data from research firm Cox Automotive.

Tesla’s market share fell to 49.7% in the second quarter, compared with 59.3% in the same period a year earlier.

With more than 100 EV models in the U.S. market, Tesla faces increased competition from established automakers. General Motors, Ford, Hyundai, and Kia have made inroads in the fast-growing segment. Total EV sales climbed 11.3% in the quarter, and 8% of all cars sold or leased were electric.

Tesla is at a crossroads. As demand for electric vehicles slumps and profits plunge by 45%, Elon Musk is betting on humanoid robots, autonomous taxis, and artificial intelligence to revive growth. This strategy may test investors’ patience. Despite Musk asserting on a post-earnings call Tuesday that “the value of Tesla overwhelmingly is autonomy,” the timeline for the pivot is uncertain.

Tesla intends to unveil its Robotaxi in October, two months later than planned. Musk has also revised his robot timeline, saying they will “hopefully” be available to customers in 2026.

Tesla shares fell 11% on Wednesday.

The new timelines put “investors in something of a holding pattern,” writes Bloomberg, also noting that a factory project in Mexico is on hold until after November’s U.S. presidential election.

A bright spot for Telsa has been sales of batteries, which doubled to $3 billion in the last quarter.

While Tesla’s auto sales face challenges, Musk remains optimistic about growth.

Tesla’s growth requires superior propulsion and control of maintenance and electric charging costs

Tesla’s inventory is parked near their factory in Fremont, California and this is not the only location and trailer truck and has been since the summer of 2023 when the author of this article visited the places to take these photos of Tesla near the place of its manufacture and this photo is of Tesla just freshly released from the arms of the manufacturing Robots without any license plate and the entire interior of these cars is carpeted and covered protective plastic.

Times are starting to get tough for Tesla. The electric vehicle automaker was growing, with quarter after quarter of successive growth and plenty of profits in the process. But of late, that success has been mainly due to a series of price cuts intended to entice customers to buy an aging range.

In March 2024, the company recorded its first quarterly decline since 2020. It now plans to lay off more than 10% of its workforce, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters . “As we prepare the company for our next phase of growth, it is extremely important to examine all aspects of the business to reduce costs and increase productivity,” Tesla CEO Elon Musk told the employees in the note. Musk has pursued a strategy of relentless cost cutting, but all those price cuts have meant that Tesla’s once-envied profit margins are no longer anything special.

LG Energy Solution 

A unit of LG Chem, this South Korean battery supplier is neck and neck with CATL as the world’s leading supplier of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.

While there has been some controversy along the way – LG Chem successfully sued rivals SK Innovations not long ago for stealing trade secrets – the future looks bright for the company, with LG Energy Solution starting production of 4680 cells in 2023, the same cells. which constitutes Tesla’s most advanced battery to date. 

Large-format 4680 cylindrical cells would increase power six-fold and energy five-fold, and increase the range of an electric vehicle by up to 54 percent. 

These 4,680 cells should also bring the price of Tesla electric vehicles down to around $25,000, according to Tesla founder Elon Musk.

The company also has a $303 million factory in Holland, Michigan, capable of producing enough cells per year to build between 50,000 and 200,000 batteries for hybrid manufacturers  like  Ford , General Motors, Hyundai,  Volvo ,  Renault  and  Chevrolet . 

By 2025, all factories in South Korea, North America, Europe and China will run 100% on renewable energy.

Beyond Dream – BYD

Formerly written off by Elon Musk, the Chinese   BYD  proved its detractors wrong by becoming the world’s leading seller of electric vehicles in July 2022, after having sold 641,000 vehicles in the first half of 2022, almost 80,000 more electric vehicles than Tesla .

On Monday, July 1, 2024, BYD reported EV sales of 426,000. That is 21% more than a year ago, as BYD continues to close the gap on Tesla. In the fourth quarter, BYD briefly passed Tesla in global EV sales.

Although it has gained a strong foothold in the electric vehicle market, BYD began life as a rechargeable battery manufacturer in 1995 and in 2021 built a new factory in Chongqing, China to produce its blade batteries, which are thinner and longer than conventional lithium batteries ion cells.

Blade batteries are also considered the safest EV batteries because they are much less likely to catch fire in the event of an accident. They are also 50% smaller than other battery packs, resulting in lighter, more efficient electric vehicles. 

There appear to be no hard feelings between the Chinese giant and Elon Musk: BYD Executive Vice President Lian Yubo now claims that BYD is “good friends” with Mr. Tesla and plans to supply his company batteries for electric vehicles.

Panasonic 

Panasonic is another one of the largest lithium-ion battery manufacturers in the world. The electronics giant has partnered with Tesla to build Giga Nevada – or Gigafactory 1, as it is also known – a $5 billion factory for lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicle components. Dollars located in Storey County, Nevada. , which produces a Panasonic EV battery exclusively for Tesla’s Model 3, Model S and Model X SUVs. 

Panasonic reportedly invested $1.6 billion in Gigafactory 1 to become Tesla’s main supplier of electric vehicle batteries, with raw materials supplied by a mining company that extracts lithium from a site 200 miles from the factory.

Jointly designed and manufactured by Tesla and Panasonic, the “2170” battery has been mass-produced since January 2017, and the new and improved 4680 battery cell, which features significant capacity improvements, will enter production in 2023. 

Looking to the future, Shoichiro Watanabe, CTO of Panasonic Energy, says the company will achieve a 20% improvement in the energy density of its battery cells by the end of the decade. 

In the same way that Tesla has partnered with other electric vehicle battery makers in other international markets, Panasonic has also partnered with Toyota to build a lithium-ion battery factory in Japan that will supply batteries for Toyota electric vehicles.  Source:

Tesla will cut more than 10% of its global workforce or up to 14,000 employees

Tesla, the electric car manufacturer, is indeed planning significant workforce reductions. According to an internal email from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the company will cut “more than 10%” of its global workforce. The move comes as Tesla grapples with slowing demand and challenges in the electric vehicle (EV) market around the world .



Here are the key points:

Number of employees: Tesla ended 2023 with more than 140,000 employees worldwide, meaning the cuts could affect more than 14,000 people .

Reasons for layoffs: The company’s decision to downsize is driven by the need to reduce costs and increase productivity. Tesla has warned investors that sales growth could be “significantly lower” in 2024 compared to its stated goal of 50% growth each year. Additionally, Tesla is currently between production cycles, with the expensive Cybertruck recently entering production and the popular Model Y entering its fourth year without significant updates.

Executive departures: On the same day as the layoffs, two high-level executives left Tesla. Drew Baglino, Tesla’s senior vice president of powertrain and energy, and Rohan Patel, vice president of public policy and business development, have both left the company. Baglino oversaw the engineering of the company’s powertrain and battery technologies, while Patel had experience in climate and energy policy. Their departures come as part of the company’s restructuring efforts.

In the memo, CEO Elon Musk writes that duplication of roles and the need to cut costs are behind the layoffs. The automaker had nearly doubled its workforce over the past three years by increasing production at several factories, but last month recorded its first quarterly drop in deliveries in four years. Tesla shares have fallen 31% this year, putting it among the worst performers in the S&P 500.

Elon Musk expressed gratitude for their contributions but emphasized the need to reduce costs and increase productivity as Tesla prepares for its next phase of growth. This situation reflects the challenges facing the electric vehicle industry and the need for companies like Tesla to adapt to changing market dynamics.

Overall electric vehicle sales slowed in the first quarter, increasing less than 3%, while hybrid sales increased 43%.

Tesla’s difficulties have largely contributed to the C’s lukewarm performance, since the company’s cars represent about half of the US electric market, according to research firm Motor Intelligence.

Tesla layoffs an ‘ominous sign’ for the company, analyst says

finance.yahoo.com • 3 min read

Tesla announced a significant reduction in its workforce following a disappointing first-quarter delivery report, following in the footsteps of traditional automakers and pure-play EV makers, according to an internal memo. Famed Tesla bull Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities warned that the layoffs were a negative sign for Tesla, as seen in Monday’s stock decline. Ives has a price target of $300 and a buy rating on the stock. “This is a worrying signal of tough times ahead for Tesla as Musk weathers this Category 5 storm,” Ives said in a comment to Yahoo Finance. “Demand has been weak globally, and this is unfortunately a necessary move for Tesla to reduce costs with a more moderate growth outlook.”

For decades, the UAW’s efforts to unionize large foreign auto plants in the American South failed. It now appears that this is about to change, with far-reaching consequences. I’ve traveled multiple times to Tennessee and Alabama to report on why the union is poised for a historic victory this week at Volkswagen in Chattanooga, and how it could bolster its efforts everywhere from Mercedes to Tesla. “When we started this campaign, you didn’t talk very openly about a union in the factory,” one of the hundreds of VW workers who sat on the union’s organizing committee told me. “Now that’s all we talk about.”

Elon Musk announced in an internal memo that Tesla plans to cut more than 10% of its global workforce. Tesla’s CEO said that as the electric vehicle maker has rapidly expanded, there has been some “duplication” of roles.

Read the memo Elon Musk sends Tesla staff announcing that the company is laying off more than 10% of the workforce  –  businessinsider.com

Executive exodus and 10% reduction in workforce at Tesla. We reported that Drew Baglino had resigned from  Tesla  . Baglino had worked at Tesla since 2006 and was senior vice president of powertrain engineering and energy. He was one of four executives named and integral to the work the company was doing in everything from electric vehicles to energy storage and next-generation 4680 cells. Drew posted on social media a few hours after our story to confirm his departure. Rohan Patel, Tesla’s head of public policy, also left the company, we reported. Factoring in the departure of key names from Tesla’s semiconductor team earlier this year and the departure of Zach Kirkhorn in August, that’s a lot of intellectual capital and experience. Still: I’m told things are going well – particularly in the energy division – and one of the reasons for Baglino’s departure is that he felt the place was in good hands. Last night, Musk told staff around the world that Tesla would cut 10% or more of its global workforce. The reasons are clear: continued cost reduction and productivity in a difficult environment. But Tesla has grown rapidly. And Musk cited the number of duplicate roles in his justification for the RIF. 10% of Tesla’s workforce represents approximately 14,000 people. It is therefore large in size, the largest RIF ever seen.
