🔥 "Cognitive Atrophy" is One of the Main Fears About AI 

Only bot unreliability, the impact of technology on the economy, and the loss of agency and autonomy due to AI worry people more. These were the findings made by Anthropic after surveying more than 80,000 users of its Claude bot.

The interviews were conducted by Claude itself—this is the world's first survey of this scale conducted by AI.

"I got excellent grades using AI's answers, not what I'd actually learned. I just memorized what AI gave me... That's when I feel the most self-reproach," a student from Korea shared.

🎓 Moreover, teachers are 2.5–3 times more likely to notice AI-related "cognitive atrophy" in those around them—they see the effect in their students.

👍 At the same time, blue-collar workers not only worry less about this phenomenon but are also more likely than others to say that AI really helps them learn new things.

Therefore, researchers believe that chatbots can be beneficial only if learning is approached with genuine intent—not simply as a box-ticking exercise.

Does "cognitive atrophy" caused by AI worry you?

🔥 — Yes, I'm starting to notice it
😎 — No, AI helps me!

💰 Nvidia Is Losing Ground in China to Local Chipmakers

In 2025, Chinese data centers purchased approximately 4 million AI chips, including 2.2 million from Nvidia and 1.65 million from domestic companies.

Nvidia still dominates the global GPU market, but it's starting to lose one of its most important markets: China. Over the past five years, its share there has dropped from 95% to 55%.

✖️ The shift began in 2022, when the U.S. government restricted Nvidia from selling to China its most advanced chips, including the A100, H100, and H200. In response, the Chinese government launched incentives for building AI data centers, requiring companies to use locally made chips to qualify for state support.

💻 The biggest beneficiary so far has been Huawei, which shipped 812,000 chips last year, capturing about 20% of the market. Other Chinese players developing data center processors include T-Head (Alibaba), Kunlunxin (Baidu), and Cambricon.

Could Huawei challenge Nvidia on the global stage?

❤️ — Yes, it's possible
🔥 — Unlikely
