ChatGPT Record to transcribe audio meetings
Meetings are critical for collaboration, but capturing their essence is often difficult. Manually scribbling notes often misses key points, leading to miscommunication or forgotten action items. Post-meeting, summarizing discussions takes hours, and transcribing audio manually is tedious, error-prone, and time-consuming. This chaos frustrates teams, delays decisions, and risks losing valuable insights from brainstorms or client calls. ChatGPT Record solves this by automatically transcribing audio, generating structured summaries, and transforming them into actionable outputs, saving time and ensuring clarity.

Trump administration unveils executive actions to boost energy supply for AI expansion
The Trump administration is readying a package of executive actions aimed at boosting energy supply to power the US expansion of artificial intelligence, according to four sources familiar with the planning. Top economic rivals US and China are locked in a technological arms race and with it secure an economic and military edge. The huge amount of data processing behind AI requires a rapid increase in power supplies that are straining utilities and grids in many states. The moves under consideration include making it easier for power-generating projects to connect to the grid, and providing federal land on which to build the data centers needed to expand AI technology, according to the sources. The administration will also release an AI action plan and schedule public events to draw public attention to the efforts, according to the sources, who requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The White House did not respond to requests for comment. Training large-scale AI models requires a huge amount of electricity, and the industry's growth is driving the first big increase in US power demand in decades. Between 2024 and 2029, US electricity demand is projected to grow at five times the rate predicted in 2022, according to power-sector consultancy Grid Strategies. Meanwhile, power demand from AI data centers could grow more than thirtyfold by 2035, according to a new report by consultancy Deloitte. Building and connecting new power generation to the grid, however, has been a major hurdle because such projects require extensive impact studies that can take years to complete, and existing transmission infrastructure is overwhelmed. Among the ideas under consideration by the administration is to identify more fully developed power projects and move them higher on the waiting list for connection, two of the sources said. Siting data centers has also been challenging because larger facilities require a lot of space and resources, and can face zoning obstacles or public opposition. The executive orders could provide a solution to that by offering land managed by the Defense Department or Interior Department to project developers, the sources said. The administration is also considering streamlining permitting for data centers by creating a nationwide Clean Water Act permit, rather than requiring companies to seek permits on a state-by-state basis, according to one of the sources. In January, Trump hosted top tech CEOs at the White House to highlight the Stargate Project, a multi-billion effort led by ChatGPT's creator OpenAI , SoftBank and Oracle to build data centers and create more than 100,000 jobs in the US Trump has prioritized winning the AI race against China and declared on his first day in office a national energy emergency aimed at removing all regulatory obstacles to oil and gas drilling, coal and critical mineral mining, and building new gas and nuclear power plants to bring more energy capacity online. He also ordered his administration in January to produce an AI Action Plan that would make "America the world capital in artificial intelligence" and reduce regulatory barriers to its rapid expansion. That report, which includes input from the National Security Council, is due by July 23. The White House is considering making July 23 "AI Action Day" to draw attention to the report and demonstrate its commitment to expanding the industry, two of the sources said. Trump is scheduled to speak at an AI and energy event in Pennsylvania on July 15 hosted by Senator Dave McCormick. Amazon earlier this month announced it would invest $20 billion in data centers in two Pennsylvania counties.

Liquidity surplus alone doesn't boost broad credit growth, economic activity holds greater influence: StanChart report
Standard Chartered Bank (Image credits: IANS) Credit growth in the economy is influenced more by overall economic activity than by the size of the liquidity surplus, according to a recent report by international bank Standard Chartered. The report said that while a high liquidity surplus may support growth in unsecured personal loans (excluding consumer durable loans), it does not necessarily lead to broad-based credit expansion. "Credit growth depends more on economic activity than the size of the liquidity surplus; however, unsecured personal loan growth (ex-consumer durables) could get a fillip on a large liquidity surplus," reported ANI quoting the report. It noted that credit growth, excluding unsecured personal and consumer durable loans, tends to slow down during times of excess liquidity. This points to real credit demand, which is closely tied to economic activity, being a stronger driver than the availability or cost of funds. The central banks often respond to slowing economic activity by increasing liquidity as a counter-cyclical measure. However, even with such efforts, overall credit (excluding unsecured personal and consumer durable loans) as a share of GDP has historically declined during times of high liquidity surplus. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo Citing one example, the report said that between December 2016 and September 2017, when liquidity surplus ranged between 2.6% and 3.3% of net demand and time liabilities (NDTL), credit (excluding unsecured personal and consumer durable loans) as a share of GDP fell from 48.9% to 46.2%. This downward trend continued until mid-2019. In contrast, unsecured personal loans (excluding consumer durables) have shown a strong upward trend over the past decade, with their share in GDP more than doubling to around 6%. This growth is driven by structural factors such as greater credit access and the rise of digital lending. However, the pace of expansion in this segment tends to pick up during periods of high liquidity. For instance, during March 2021 to March 2023, when liquidity conditions were relaxed, the share of unsecured personal loans in GDP rose faster than in previous similar periods, the report highlighted.

Masayoshi Son hints at succession plan while chasing AI ambition
Reuters SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son Masayoshi Son acknowledged the outlines of a succession plan at SoftBank Group Corp., addressing what may be investors' single biggest concern regarding the long-term future of the Japanese said he plans to hold SoftBank's reins another ten years, but added he has several candidates for its next chief in mind from within the technology group. The candidates work alongside the billionaire every day, although he hasn't disclosed who they are to anyone, the 67-year-old said during a general shareholders' meeting in Tokyo on Friday. Son fielded repeated questions from shareholders worried about a SoftBank without its charismatic leader or a succession plan. The chief executive officer responded that he's healthy and intends to continue to lead and aim to realize an era where artificial intelligence is pervasive in society. 'I look forward to seeing a successor grow as quickly as possible so that I can appoint them, but I still have some passion left and want to keep at this,' he said. Son added, however, that he's mentally prepared to hand over the reins at any time, should he stand in the way of SoftBank's mentioned the head of telecom unit, Junichi Miyakawa, who is in charge of rolling out AI infrastructure within Japan and widely seen as an example of how others in the company can lead as Son shifts his focus elsewhere. Miyakawa is doing 'an extremely solid job,' Son said. 'I feel very pleased, encouraged and reassured by his efforts. As a result, I have almost never felt the need to interfere in what he does. I trust him.'SoftBank's shares rose to close up 2.5%, buoyed by a broader rally that boosted the Nikkei Stock lieutenants who have been officially or unofficially in the running to be Son's successor have included Nikesh Arora, Marcelo Claure and Katsunori Sago. All have left shareholder even asked if AI would either extend Son's lifespan or make it possible for Son to somehow remotely control the company from beyond the grave. Son responded by saying that while he intends to use AI 'more than anyone,' he didn't see it replacing annual shareholders' meeting has long been a platform for Son to share his vision of a future of tech-driven progress. Many investors have hung onto his words and their shares from before the dot-com boom and asked about SoftBank's ability to finance big bets such as the Stargate data center projects, and Son's ability to deliver on his goals to lead in an age of such project is a partnership with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. to build a large AI manufacturing hub in Arizona, Bloomberg reported earlier. Son said he's now cornered key artificial intelligence chip architecture and seeks to become the world's top platform by the time AI surpasses human abilities — or what he and other AI proponents call artificial super-intelligence. 'We want to become the world's top platformer for ASI,' he said, adding that it'll be a winner-take-all arena. SoftBank controls chip designer Arm Holdings Plc and plans to invest as much as $30 billion in ChatGPT maker OpenAI. 'These are indispensable for ASI,' he said, noting also that SoftBank has acquired Graphcore Ltd. and has plans to buy Ampere Computing LLC. 'I'm all in.'
