Technology

Technology covers artificial intelligence, chips, consumer devices, space, science and the courtrooms and regulators shaping those fields, across an archive of 38 reported articles. Reporting examines where money, infrastructure and policy intersect, including a 6 billion dollar Nvidia licensing deal and a 100 billion dollar debt plan for AI chips. The section also follows technology moving into public spaces, such as plans for up to 8,000 robotaxis on Clark County roads. Rather than treating innovation as a series of product announcements, coverage looks at financing, deployment, accountability and evidence, giving readers context for understanding how emerging technologies are built, funded and governed.

Several recurring threads let readers follow the business and consequences of new technology. Platform accountability appears through cases such as a platform design trial in Oakland, while company reporting examines financial and reputational pressures, including an AI company naming public anger as an IPO risk. The section also checks striking technological claims rather than accepting them at face value, asking questions such as whether a humanoid robot really beat Usain Bolt. Alongside those stories, readers can follow spending on AI compute, autonomous vehicles on public roads and the business models of artificial intelligence companies. The result is coverage that keeps claims, capital and accountability in view.
