They also examine Nvidia-related reports raising questions about export-control enforcement and counterparty vetting for H200-class chips, including concerns over indirect access routes and influence efforts. Plus, protests on Indonesia’s Batam island spotlight the real-world resource costs of AI infrastructure as data centre growth collides with water and power constraints across Southeast Asia. Finally, S and P Global’s outlook on AI and industrial robotics highlights where value may accrue, with software and flexibility gains potentially outpacing hardware unit growth. In the round-up, they cover proposed AI-related labour protections in the Philippines, AI crowd monitoring on Indian railways, AI-powered hotel scams, market flows into Indian equities, and warnings of a tougher cybersecurity era.","author_name":"Six & Flow"}
