FROM OUR PARTNER


In the AI era, sovereignty is the new battlefield for trust, resilience, and innovation.

IBM outlines why CEOs must assert control over data, technology, and operations to help scale AI —and stay ahead of fast‑evolving sovereignty mandates.

Highlights:

  • Beyond residency: Control who operates, accesses, and audits AI workloads.
  • Operate with confidence: Design for verifiable compliance and market access.
  • Unify strategy: Align hybrid cloud and AI under sovereign governance.

📱 Apple may launch a flip-style foldable iPhone LINK
  • Apple may release a flip-style foldable iPhone similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip devices, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, though the company has not confirmed these plans and the device is still under development.
  • Apple expects its book-style iPhone Fold, set to launch in the second half of this year, to take folding phones mainstream where Android vendors like Samsung and Google have not succeeded.
  • The company is also working on a larger book-style foldable that will become its flagship iPhone, sitting above the original iPhone Fold, though no release date or technical details were shared.
🍎 AI companies are outbidding Apple LINK
  • AI chip companies like Nvidia are now outbidding Apple for manufacturing capacity at TSMC, the world's leading chip foundry, pushing Apple to search for other places to build its processors.
  • Apple is exploring whether rival foundries could manufacture lower-end processors, and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Intel could make a lower-end M7 chip in the USA as soon as 2027.
  • Apple has a history of using multiple suppliers, including Samsung for earlier A-series chips, and this shift likely marks the end of its exclusive deal with TSMC that started around 2014.
🛰️ SpaceX seeks approval for 1 million AI satellites LINK
  • SpaceX has filed an application with the FCC to launch one million satellites into Earth's orbit, designed to serve as orbital data centers that support growing artificial intelligence infrastructure needs.
  • The company claims that terrestrial data center resources are becoming exhausted, and these solar-powered satellites could offer better cost and energy efficiency with lower environmental impact than ground-based options.
  • SpaceX may not deploy all one million satellites even if approved, since Earth's orbit is already crowded, and other companies like Google, Amazon, and xAI have explored similar ideas.
☁️ Oracle plans to raise $50 billion for cloud expansion LINK
  • Oracle announced plans to raise between $45 billion and $50 billion in 2026 to expand its cloud infrastructure, using a mix of debt and equity sales to meet demand from major customers.
  • The company will get half the money through equity-linked and common equity sales, including mandatory convertible preferred securities, and the rest through a single bond offering in early 2026.
  • Oracle's stock has dropped more than 50% from its September high, losing over $460 billion in value, as investors worry about whether big AI-related spending will actually pay off.
🐛 Moltbook flaw exposed private messages and credentials LINK
  • A security flaw in Moltbook, a social network built for AI agents, left private messages and user credentials open to anyone who looked at the site's code.
  • Researchers found a misconfigured Supabase database that exposed 1.5 million API authentication tokens, 35,000 email addresses, and private conversations, some of which contained plaintext OpenAI API keys.
  • The database also revealed that Moltbook's 1.5 million registered agents were controlled by just 17,000 human accounts, showing the platform had no way to verify if an "agent" was AI or a human running scripts.
