Today’s tech story is about power consolidating even as regulators try to prise it open. TSMC underscored the scale of the AI boom with another $100 billion commitment to expand chip manufacturing in Arizona, part of a far bigger U.S. buildout driven by demand for advanced processors and cloud infrastructure. Google, meanwhile, is being pushed in two directions at once: in Europe, regulators ordered it to share search data and make Android more accessible to rival AI services, while the company warns of privacy and security trade-offs; at the same time, it is tightening its own AI ecosystem by rebranding NotebookLM as Gemini Notebook and weaving it more deeply into Search. Elsewhere, scrutiny of tech’s social impact is rising, with Ofcom investigating TikTok’s child-safety and age-checking systems, while Hyundai moved closer to full control of Boston Dynamics as robotics becomes the next strategic frontier.
