Planned expansion of Crolles chipmaking facility in France by end of 2026 to meet surging AI data centre demand for silicon photonics, with ambitions to grow its market share from 5% to 30% backed by a strategic partnership with AWS.
By tricking Meta’s AI support chatbot into resetting passwords and linking accounts to new email addresses, hackers successfully hijacked Obama’s White House page, exposing serious flaws in relying on AI for account security.
