젠슨 황이 한국에 오면 기분이 참 좋을 것 같습니다. 열열한 환대로 중국에서 받은 찬밥 신세의 절망감을 보상 받는 것 같을 테니까요. 한국 방문 직전 대만에서 선언한 "AI PC" 시대를 두고 미국과 중국의 반응이 엇갈리고 있습니다. 같은 기간 중국은 여전히 모바일 중심 AI를 선언했습니다. 특히 그 자리에서 텐센트의 발표가 주목을 끌었습니다. 14억 위챗 에이전트를 만들겠다는 선언이었습니다. 같은 주에 벌어진 두 개의 선언 젠슨 황이 대만 타이베이에서 "40년 만의 PC 재발명"을 선언하는 동안 중국 미디어는 다른 질문을 던지고 있습니다. "당신은 오늘 하루 PC를 몇 시간 사용했습니까. 그리고 스마트폰은 몇 시간 손에 쥐고 있었습니까." 엔비디아의 AI PC 전략이 기술적으로 틀렸다고 말하는 중국 전문가는 없습니다. RTX 스파크(Spark) 슈퍼칩이 구현하는 로컬 AI 연산 능력, 마이크로소프트와의 협력으로 만들어지는 윈비디아(Windvidia) 생태계, AI 에이전트를 PC 위에서 자율 구동시키는 비전은 분명히 설득력이 있습니다. 연구자, 개발자, 크리에이터, 지식 노동자에게 AI PC는 강력한 생산성 혁명이 될 것입니다. 그런데 중국 미디어가 주목하는 것은 기술의 완성도가 아니라 보통 사람들이 AI를 사용하는 현실입니다. PC 사용 시간이 줄어드는 것은 의견이 아니라 냉엄한 시장 데이터입니다. 현대인의 디지털 생활 대부분은 이미 모바일에서 이루어지고 있습니다. 그리고 중국에서 모바일은 단순한 기기가 아닙니다. 위챗(WeChat, 微信)이라는 슈퍼앱으로 압축된 하나의 생활 운영체제입니다. 중국인의 하루를 따라가보면 아침에 위챗을 열어 메시지를 확인하고, 미니프로그램으로 커피를 주문하고, 위챗페이로 결제하고, 병원 예약을 잡고, 택시를 부르고, 저녁에 전자상거래로 쇼핑하고, 공과금을 냅니다. 그 모든 행위가 하나의 앱 안에서 이루어집니다. PC를 열 이유가 없습니다. 심지어 이메일도 잘 열어보지 않습니다. AI PC가 책상 위에서 인류가 만든 모든 소프트웨어를 실행하는 동안, 위챗 AI 어시스턴트는 이미 14억 명의 주머니 속에서 하루를 대신 살아가고 있습니다. 텐센트 AI 후반전 — 14억 명의 삶을 다시 설계하다 작년 제가 항저우를 방문했을 때 가장 충격적이었던 장면은 딥시크나 알리바바가 아니었습니다. 길거리에서 구걸하는 사람조차 위챗 QR코드를 내밀고 있었고, 군고구마를 파는 노점상도 위챗페이로 결제를 받았습니다. 재래시장에서 채소를 파는 할머니 역시 현금보다 QR코드를 먼저 보여주었습니다. 당시에는 이것이 단순한 모바일 결제 문화의 확산처럼 보였습니다. 그러나 지금 돌아보면 그것은 중국이 이미 하나의 거대한 디지털 생활 생태계로 연결되고 있다는 신호였습니다. 그리고 이제 텐센트는 그 생태계 위에 14억의 AI 에이전트를 "출산" 하려 하고 있습니다. AI 산업은 지금 거대한 전환점을 지나고 있습니다. 지난 3년이 대형언어모델(LLM)의 성능 경쟁이었다면, 앞으로의 경쟁은 누가 더 많은 사람들의 일상을 바꾸는가의 경쟁입니다. 그런 점에서 텐센트가 준비 중인 위챗 AI 어시스턴트는 단순한 신제품 출시 이상의 의미를 갖습니다. 이것은 중국 14억 인구의 생활 운영체제를 AI로 업그레이드하려는 시도에 가깝습니다. AI는 모델이 아니라 생태계의 전쟁이다 현재 글로벌 AI 시장은 크게 두 가지 흐름으로 나뉩니다. 첫 번째는 모델 중심 경쟁입니다. 누가 더 뛰어난 추론 능력을 구현하는가의 문제입니다. 두 번째는 실행 중심 경쟁입니다. AI가 실제로 사용자의 일을 대신 처리할 수 있는가의 문제입니다. 텐센트는 후자를 선택했습니다. 사용자가 위챗에서 "내일 상하이 출장 준비해줘"라고 말하면, AI가 교통편을 예약하고, 호텔을 추천하고, 회의 일정을 정리하고, 비용 정산 양식까지 준비하는 세상입니다. 중요한 것은 AI의 벤치마크가 아니라 AI가 실제 세상을 움직일 수 있는 연결망과 실행 권한을 갖고 있는가가 중요합니다. 그리고 중국에서 그 연결망의 중심은 위챗입니다. 전체 내용보기

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Wednesday clarified that students applying for verification and re-evaluation of Class XII answer sheets do not need to have accounts with State Bank of India, Canara Bank, Bank of Baroda or Indian Bank to make payments on its online portal, addressing confusion that emerged after the system was launched earlier this week, Times of India reported.The clarification came after several students claimed on social media that the portal appeared to restrict payments to customers of the four public sector banks. In a statement posted on X, CBSE said the portal only uses payment gateways operated by these banks and does not require applicants to hold accounts with them.Also Read: Claude, other AI tools used to breach CBSE portals: IIT Panel“Candidates may use the available online payment options — UPI, net banking, credit card and debit card — through the designated gateways,” the board said.CBSE also said the portal continued to function smoothly despite a major cyberattack attempt on Tuesday, shortly after it went live. According to the board, the platform came under a barrage of denial-of-service attacks within minutes of its launch, receiving nearly 1.5 million hits in two minutes along with more than one lakh attempts at unauthorised file access.The board said its technical teams worked continuously to maintain the stability and security of the platform.“The portal has accepted 4,924 applications for verification and 39,056 applications for re-evaluation (total of 43,980) as of 12 noon today,” CBSE said.The board urged students to rely only on official CBSE communication for updates related to the process.Also Read: CBSE re-evaluation portal keeps lakhs of students guessingThe verification and re-evaluation window opened on June 2 for Class XII students who had earlier obtained scanned copies of their answer books evaluated under the board’s new digital On-Screen Marking (OMS) system.
As geopolitical headwinds make it tougher for equity investors to make money, Dalal Street’s top voice Nilesh Shah, managing director of Kotak Mahindra Asset Management, told a gathering of HNI investors at the ET Alpha Wealth Summit on Thursday that there are four specific investment structures which deserve a place in most portfolios right now.Shah’s first recommendation was the Special Investment Fund, or SIF, a structure that marks a meaningful shift in what is available to Indian investors. Shah noted that the mutual fund industry has, until now, been a long-only business but the SIF changes that. These are long-short, absolute return-oriented funds, designed to generate returns regardless of market direction rather than simply riding the equity tide.The second vehicle Shah flagged is performing credit AIFs. His reasoning was grounded in a simple supply-demand observation that for corporate settlements today, capital is not available from banks, mutual funds, or insurance companies.As institutional lenders have stepped back, borrowers are plenty and lenders very few. Amid this imbalance, Shah said the need is real and returns are attractive. Performing credit AIFs, which lend into this gap, are positioned to benefit directly from the scarcity of competing capital.https://youtube.com/shorts/Xa4AcXFg8hA?feature=shareThe third idea was REITs, and here Shah introduced a timing element. Over the last three years, REITs have delivered index-level returns of around 13.5%. But with interest rates rising, he suggested that the next six to nine months may present an opportunity to enter at better prices. Rising rates typically compress REIT valuations in the near term, and Shah framed any such correction as a potential entry point rather than a risk to avoid. Beyond the return potential, he positioned REITs as a portfolio diversification tool as the asset class behaves differently from equities and fixed income, and that is still underrepresented in most Indian investor portfolios.The fourth recommendation addressed global diversification but came with an important caveat. Mutual fund industry limits for overseas investment are currently full, which means the conventional route for Indian investors to access global markets through domestic mutual funds is closed. Shah pointed to Gift City as the workaround. Structures domiciled there allow investment under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme, and in his view, these Gift City-based LRS products are the practical path for investors who want global exposure while the mutual fund window remains shut.Across all four — the SIF, performing credit AIFs, REITs, and Gift City products — Shah's underlying argument was the same: in a volatile period, the portfolio needs instruments that can generate positive returns through means other than a rising equity market.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views, and opinions given by experts are their own.

De explosieve groei van kunstmatige intelligentie (AI) leidt tot een sterke toename in het gebruik van water, stroom en land. Dit kan meer vervuiling en klimaatverandering veroorzaken. Intussen zijn de lusten en lasten ongelijk verdeeld, stellen onderzoekers van een denktank van de Verenigde Naties. Veel van de cijfers zijn niet nieuw. Toch is dit rapport volgens experts completer dan eerdere overzichten. "Het geeft een breed beeld van de impact van AI", zegt Bernard van Gastel, die onderzoek doet naar duurzame digitalisering aan de Radboud Universiteit. Zorgen over het stroomgebruik van datacenters bestaan al langer. In Ierland gebruikt de sector meer dan een vijfde van alle stroom en in de Verenigde Staten drijven datacenters lokaal stroomprijzen op. Ook in Nederland leidde de voorgenomen bouw al veelvuldig tot discussie. Stroomgebruik explodeert AI was vorig jaar al verantwoordelijk voor een vijfde van het stroomgebruik van datacenters. Dat aandeel groeit naar verwachting gestaag door. Deels komt dat doordat het trainen van almaar krachtigere AI-modellen steeds meer stroom vergt. Daarnaast gebruiken mensen en bedrijven de technologie vaker. Het toenemende stroomgebruik is deels op te vangen met wind-, zon- en kernenergie. Bij het opwekken daarvan komen geen broeikasgassen vrij. De groei is echter zo sterk, schrijven de onderzoekers, dat deze bronnen niet genoeg zijn. Bedrijven grijpen ook naar stroom uit steenkool en aardgas. Dat leidt dus tot meer uitstoot en meer opwarming van de aarde. Het energiezuiniger maken van AI helpt maar beperkt, stelt het rapport. De techniek wordt dan, paradoxaal genoeg, goedkoper en aantrekkelijk voor nieuwe taken waarvoor die eerst te duur was. Het gebruik neemt daardoor toe, wat het zuiniger werken deels tenietdoet. Fiks meer watergebruik De schattingen van het watergebruik in het VN-rapport zijn fiks hoger dan eerdere schattingen. Datacenters gebruiken water vaak voor hun koeling. Dit watergebruik wordt veel hoger geraamd dan in een vorig rapport van het Internationaal Energie Agentschap. "Dat komt voor mij niet als een verrassing", zegt Alex de Vries-Gao, die de voetafdruk van AI onderzoekt. Hij benadrukt dat die eerdere schatting te rooskleurig was. "Goed dat ze dit benoemen." Koelwater gaat niet per se verloren, maar het kan volgens De Vries-Gao een pijnpunt zijn als het op een kwetsbare plek wordt gebruikt: "Dat ze zoveel water gebruiken uit de omgeving terwijl er waterschaarste is, of gaat komen." Het VN-rapport benadrukt dat AI veel voordelen heeft. Het kan wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar ziekten of de aanpak van klimaatverandering versnellen. In sommige sectoren maakt het werknemers productiever. Scheve verdeling Alleen zijn de baten ongelijk verdeeld. De AI-rekenkracht bevindt zich voor 90 procent in China en de Verenigde Staten. Ook welvarende landen in Europa en Azië hebben, hoewel in mindere mate, de beschikking over zulke rekenkracht. Voor de meeste landen geldt dat niet, zeker in Zuid-Amerika en Afrika. Deze landen zijn afhankelijk en moeten betalen voor toegang. En dat terwijl ze wel last hebben van de nadelen. Neem de vervuiling die komt kijken bij de winning van grondstoffen, als koper en silicium, die nodig zijn voor AI. En het verergeren van de opwarming van de aarde. Juist de armste landen lijden hier veel onder, terwijl ze de minste middelen hebben om zich te beschermen. Open deuren Volgens de onderzoekers zijn er diverse manieren om AI eerlijker en milieuvriendelijker te maken. Zo zouden AI-bedrijven meer openheid moeten geven over hun stroom- en watergebruik. Ook moet eraan worden gewerkt om AI-gebruik te temperen, en het resterende gebruik zo slim mogelijk te doen. Daarnaast moet er gezocht worden naar manieren om mensen mee te laten delen. "Dat zijn deels open deuren", zegt Bernard van Gastel van de Radboud Universiteit. "Hoe je AI kan begrenzen en slim in kan zetten is een pijnpunt." Volgens Van Gastel is er wereldwijd eigenlijk geen goed democratisch systeem om dat te regelen. "Het is fijn dat de aanbevelingen nu op een rijtje staan. Er is nog heel veel werk aan de winkel." Ook Alex de Vries-Gao verzucht dat het rapport wat betreft oplossingen blijft hangen in algemeenheden. "Het is moeilijk om consensus te krijgen en daarom krijg je algemeen taalgebruik en geen concrete actiepunten." Ook is het volgens De Vries-Gao een hardnekkig probleem dat AI-bedrijven geen openheid willen geven.
