Tech Across the Globe

Bribery case: Huawei Technologies executives would likely have known about — and signed off on — alleged bribes to European Union lawmakers in 2021, according to Belgian judicial authorities in a case involving a lobbyist for the Chinese telecom giant.

Oracle cyberattack: The software company warned health-care customers that a server had been infiltrated earlier this year by hackers, who stole patient information.

Chip funding: Japan is preparing to provide as much as $5.4 billion to chip startup Rapidus, a move that reflects the government's growing resolve to secure semiconductor supplies during a time of heightened US-China tensions.

Revalued

Billionaire Elon Musk said his xAI artificial intelligence startup acquired his X social network at a valuation of $33 billion in an all-stock deal. He bought the platform, then known as Twitter, for $44 billion in 2022. Musk, the majority owner of both companies, said their futures were intertwined and he was taking the step "to combine the data, models, compute, distribution and talent."

Must read

In today's Tech In Depth, Austin Carr reports on Major League Baseball's experiment with an Automated Ball-Strike System — robot umpires. The test during spring training showed the ABS system may provide a lighter touch of technology for the game than many traditionalists fear.

This week in Power On

Apple is preparing its biggest health care push to date with a revamped app and AI doctor service, Mark Gurman reports in this week's Power On. While the iPhone maker has some long-term moonshot medical initiatives, the app and AI doctor are seen as a quicker way to advance the company's goal to transform health care.
