    OpenAI cuts its fundraising target by a third as investors hold back

    OpenAI is asking investors for less money, and some are still holding back. On Friday the Financial Times reported that OpenAI has cut its fundraising target by a third, to about 20 billion dollars, at a lower valuation. Some investors trimmed their cheques, so the first tranche may land below even the new target. The same day, American tech stocks fell hard. Last Monday I wrote that lenders were turning away from smaller AI players, and now investors are hesitating over the biggest name too. When money gets dearer for your AI supplier, discounts tend to shrink, so a multi-year price agreed this autumn could prove a good deal.

    One line on your website will soon tell four AI giants not to train on it

    Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic agreed on Friday to respect one shared signal that tells them not to train their AI on your website. Until now you had to name and block each company's crawler, the program that reads your pages. The new signal is a single line in robots.txt, the small file that tells search engines what they may read. Anthropic has started, OpenAI follows within months, and Google and Microsoft in 2027. There are two catches. It covers training only, so your pages can still feed their AI answers, and nothing already collected gets deleted. Adding the line takes minutes, making it the cheapest protection in this edition.

    A Chinese hacking group let AI agents run its break-ins, with a human only at the crossroads

    More than 200 organisations in eleven days, targeted by a team of AI agents, programs that act on their own. That is what CrowdStrike, the American security company, reported on Thursday about a China-linked espionage group. The agents ran mainly on DeepSeek, the Chinese model anyone can download. A human operator typed instructions in Chinese and stepped in only at decision points. Nine break-ins are confirmed, among them foreign ministries and an American drug company. Several doors opened with passwords and access keys from an old leak that nobody had changed. AI did the legwork, and forgotten keys did the rest. When did your company last change the keys nobody remembers?

    Google's first data centre in space is online, and its first job was a haiku

    Engineers at Google gave their first data centre in space an easy first task: a haiku about being up there. "Blue marble below," it began. The test satellite runs Gemma, Google's small AI model, in orbit. The reason to go up: the AI race on Earth is running short of electricity, and space has endless sunshine. The catch is power on board, since the satellite can run one chip for only about 20 minutes at a time. This is a bet on the 2030s, so treat it as an early signal of where the computing behind AI may end up.

    Europe's central bank says AI is now lifting growth, starting with the suppliers

    As American investors grow nervous, the European Central Bank's chief economist brought a calmer message to San Francisco on Friday. Philip Lane said AI is now "a significant contributor" to growth in the euro area. He pointed to two sources: European companies supplying the electronics and machinery that AI data centres need, and firms spending on AI themselves. He also said adoption is still early, and its long-term effect highly uncertain. Read it next to the OpenAI story: even as fresh cash hesitates, the money already committed flows to the companies building the equipment. European manufacturers will likely feel the boom in their order books before they see it as productivity in their offices.
