SINGAPORE: Google will invest $6 billion to develop a 1-gigawatt data centre and its power infrastructure in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh in the Alphabet unit’s first such investment in India, government sources said on Wednesday. Due to be built in the port city of Visakhapatnam, the data centre investment includes $2 billion in renewable energy capacity that will be used to power the facility, two Andhra Pradesh government sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters . The search giant’s data centre will be the largest in capacity and investment size in Asia and is part a multi-billion-dollar expansion of its data centre portfolio across the region in countries including Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Google expands creative AI tools in Pakistan with Veo 3, Flow In April, Alphabet said it was still committed to spending some $75 billion this year to build data centre capacity despite the economic uncertainty resulting from U.S. President Donald Trump’s global tariff offensive. Alphabet did not immediately respond to Reuters ’ request for comment. Andhra Pradesh’s information technology minister Nara Lokesh, who is in Singapore to discuss investments with thegovernment and business leaders there, did not comment on the Google investment. “We’ve made certain announcements like Sify, which are public,” he said, referring to a 550-MW data centre Sify Technologies plans to build in the state. “There are certain announcements which are not yet public. In October, we will make those announcements.” State’s post-split investment drive Andhra Pradesh, a state run by a leading ally of India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was split into two in 2014, losing its former capital Hyderabad and a major revenue source to the newly created Telangana state. Andhra Pradesh has since been looking to attract investments to ease the financial strains of high debt and social spending. Lokesh said Andhra Pradesh has already been able to finalise investments in data centres with total capacity of 1.6 GW, adding that it aims to build 6 GW of data centres over the next five years from nearly zero currently. He expects the initial 1.6 GW of already agreed data centres to be operational in the next 24 months. That would be more than the 1.4 GW currently in operation in the entire country, according to real estate consultancy Anarock. “We’re also working on getting three cable landing stations in Visakhapatnam. We want to create enough of cable network, which will be two times what Mumbai has today,” Lokesh said. Cable landing stations - typically located close to data centres requiring fast and reliable connections to global networks - are used to store equipment which receives and relays data from undersea cables. Lokesh also said the state was looking to build up energy infrastructure to meet sustainability requirements of data centres. He said he anticipated power generation capacity requirements of as much as 10 GW from the electricity-intensive industry over the next five years. “Majority will end up being actually green energy, and that’s the unique value proposition that we bring to the table,” he said. Some of the additional capacity will be coal-fired, however, as data centres require reliable, high volume power throughout the day, he added.

A new poll has found that most adults in the United States have used artificial intelligence for online searches. Younger people report using it more frequently than older age groups, and for more types of tasks. Online Search Remains the Main Use Among all surveyed adults, 6 in 10 said they use AI at least sometimes to find information online. That rate rises to nearly three-quarters for people under the age of 30. Searching is the most common AI-related activity, based on the eight categories included in the poll. This may understate its true usage, since many search engines now include AI-generated summaries automatically. People may be receiving answers produced by AI without realising it. Work-Related Use Is Still Limited The data also shows that AI has not become a major part of most workplaces. About 4 in 10 adults said they have used AI to assist with work tasks. A smaller share mentioned using it for email writing, creative projects, or entertainment. Fewer than one in four reported using AI for shopping. Younger users are more likely to include AI in their work. Some use it to plan meals or generate ideas, while others rely on it to help write or code. Still, this type of usage remains less common among the general public. Generational Differences Are Clear Younger adults are more engaged with AI overall. Around 6 in 10 of those under 30 said they have used it to brainstorm. Only about 2 in 10 older adults said the same. Daily use for idea generation is more frequent among people in their twenties. Older users show less interest in applying AI beyond basic information lookups. They tend to avoid using it for more personal or technical tasks. AI Companionship Is Rare The least common form of interaction with AI was companionship. Fewer than 2 in 10 adults overall reported using AI for that purpose. Among people under 30, the rate rises to about a quarter. The survey results suggest that this type of usage remains outside the mainstream. Most people do not view AI as a substitute for personal interaction, although some younger users said they understand why others might explore it. Overall Usage Remains Focused The findings indicate that while AI tools have entered public use, they are still seen as limited-purpose systems. Most interactions involve information searches, and regular use beyond that is less frequent. Adoption has grown, but remains uneven across tasks and age groups. The poll was conducted by the Associated Press and NORC Center for Public Affairs Research between July 10 and July 14. It included 1,437 adults drawn from a representative national sample, with a margin of error of 3.6 percentage points. Notes: This post was edited/created using GenAI tools.

A formidable new radar satellite jointly developed by the United States and India launched on Wednesday, designed to track subtle changes in Earth’s land and ice surfaces and help predict both natural and human-caused hazards. Dubbed NISAR (Nasa-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar), the pickup truck-sized spacecraft blasted off around 5:40pm (5:10pm PKT) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on India’s southeastern coast, riding an ISRO Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle rocket. A livestream of the event showed excited schoolchildren brought to watch the launch and mission teams erupting in cheers and hugging. Highly anticipated by scientists, the mission has also been hailed by US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a milestone in growing cooperation between the two countries. “Congratulations India!” Dr Jitendra Singh, India’s science and technology minister, wrote on X, calling the mission a “game changer”. “Our planet’s surface undergoes constant and meaningful change,” Karen St Germain, director of Nasa’s Earth Science Division, told reporters ahead of launch. “Some change happens slowly. Some happens abruptly. Some changes are large, while some are subtle.” By picking up on tiny shifts in the vertical movement of the Earth’s surface — as little as one centimetre — scientists will be able to detect the precursors for natural and human-caused disasters, from earthquakes, landslides and volcanoes to ageing infrastructure like dams and bridges. “We’ll see land substance and swelling, movement, deformation and melting of mountain glaciers and ice sheets covering both Greenland and Antarctica, and of course, we’ll see wildfires,” added St Germain, calling NISAR “the most sophisticated radar we’ve ever built”. India in particular is interested in studying its coastal and nearby ocean areas by tracking yearly changes in the shape of the sea floor near river deltas and how shorelines are growing or shrinking. Data will also be used to help guide agricultural policy by mapping crop growth, tracking plant health, and monitoring soil moisture. In the coming weeks, the spacecraft will begin an approximately 90-day commissioning phase during which it will unfurl its 12-metre radar antenna reflector. Once operational, NISAR will record nearly all of Earth’s land and ice twice every 12 days from an altitude of 747 kilometres, circling the planet near the poles rather than around the equator. Microwave frequencies As it orbits, the satellite will continuously transmit microwaves and receive echoes from the surface. Because the spacecraft is moving, the returning signals are distorted, but computer processing will reassemble them to produce detailed, high-resolution images. Achieving similar results with traditional radar would require an impractically large 12-mile-wide dish. NISAR will operate on two radar frequencies: L-band and S-band. The L-band is ideal for sensing taller vegetation like trees, while the S-band enables more accurate readings of shorter plants such as bushes and shrubs. Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and India’s ISRO shared the workload, each building components on opposite sides of the planet before integrating and testing the spacecraft at ISRO’s Satellite Integration and Testing Establishment in the southern Indian city of Bengaluru. Nasa’s contribution came to just under $1.2 billion, while ISRO’s costs were around $90 million. India’s space programme has made major strides in recent years, including placing a probe in Mars orbit in 2014 and landing a robot and rover on the Moon in 2023. Shubhanshu Shukla, a test pilot with the Indian Air Force, recently became the second Indian to travel to space and the first to reach the International Space Station — a key step toward India’s own indigenous crewed mission planned for 2027 under the Gaganyaan (“sky craft”) programme.

A group of researchers in South Korea has found a weakness in mobile devices that allows a crafted radio signal to disable a smartphone’s modem using just one packet. The vulnerability affects the chips that keep phones connected to mobile networks, and the attack works without needing physical access to the device. Low-Level Modem Layers Exposed to Signal Attacks The flaw lies deep in the baseband processor. That’s the chip inside phones that controls wireless communication with nearby cell towers. Unlike the phone's operating system, which handles apps and interface elements, the baseband runs a separate set of processes. These are responsible for connecting, maintaining, and routing cellular signals. Researchers at KAIST and Kyung Hee University built a custom tool called LLFuzz to test how baseband chips react to malformed signals. This tool generates wireless packets and sends them over the air using a laptop and a software-defined radio. In lab conditions, they tested the tool against 15 different smartphones. Their results showed that a single radio packet could crash the modem in many devices. When the malformed packet was sent, the phone's data connection shut down instantly. The researchers recorded video showing phones streaming data, then freezing when hit by the signal. Multiple Vendors Affected Across Device Tiers The testing revealed flaws in devices from Apple, Samsung, Google, and Xiaomi. These phones use modem chips from Qualcomm, MediaTek, Samsung, and Apple. Altogether, the researchers found 11 separate vulnerabilities. Seven of them were given official CVE identifiers. Security patches have been issued for most of these. Four more are still under review or not yet disclosed. The vulnerabilities affect chips across price ranges. Entry-level smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and internet-of-things gadgets all use the same families of baseband processors, which puts a wide number of devices at risk. Even the newest chipsets, like Samsung’s Exynos 2400, were found to contain the flaws. Baseband Layers Often Lack Encryption or Authentication Image: KAIST The attacks targeted the lower layers of the modem stack—known as MAC, RLC, PDCP, and PHY. These layers handle tasks such as how data is split into packets, how it’s scheduled for transmission, and how it’s delivered. Unlike higher layers that are often encrypted or checked for integrity, these lower ones often accept raw radio signals without filtering. This means the modem could be tricked just by receiving a malformed packet at the right time. In some cases, attackers wouldn’t need to crack any encryption or perform advanced spoofing. If the modem accepts the signal, it might crash or behave unexpectedly. Standard Network Tests Don’t Catch These Issues Current mobile testing standards focus on conformance checks. These tests confirm that phones respond correctly to regular network traffic. But they don’t test how modems handle irregular or malformed signals. As a result, flaws in rarely used or edge-case packet structures go unnoticed. The LLFuzz tool was designed to fill that gap. It maps out the various states a modem can be in, then sends crafted packets designed to target those states. This includes less common configurations that don’t appear in typical mobile traffic. During the experiments, researchers discovered bugs that could be triggered during network attach procedures and after authentication was completed. Some Attacks Can Happen After Secure Login Many of the found flaws occur after the phone has authenticated with the network. That means even if encryption is active at higher levels, the modem’s lower functions can still be exploited. The researchers explained that these vulnerable layers remain exposed to airwave signals, even in secure sessions. The affected devices processed these malicious packets as if they were regular messages. This led to denial of service in most cases. But some of the issues could open paths to deeper attacks, including memory corruption, which may allow code execution in future scenarios. Tool to Be Shared Openly for Broader Security Checks The team plans to release LLFuzz as an open-source tool. Their aim is to push for the creation of a standardized test framework for baseband modems. The team argues that since these chips play a core role in nearly every mobile device, their security must be held to stricter standards. They’ve already begun adapting the tool for 5G. In early trials, it uncovered additional bugs in modern networks, suggesting the same kinds of problems are likely still present in newer protocols. Their full research will be presented at USENIX Security 2025. Notes: This post was edited/created using GenAI tools. Read next: Walmart Tops Global 500 Again as U.S., China, and Tech Titans Dominate $41.7 Trillion List
Walmart has landed in first place again, as it has for over a decade now. The U.S. retail giant sits at the head of this year’s Fortune Global 500 , the annual list ranking companies by revenue. Amazon took second. Behind them came State Grid of China, followed by Saudi Aramco, and then China National Petroleum. It’s a line-up that doesn’t look unfamiliar, but the weight behind these names keeps growing. Taken together, just the ten highest-ranked companies earned more than $4.7 trillion last year. Most of that came from retail, oil, healthcare, or finance, sectors that continue to stretch across borders and markets. UnitedHealth rises, Apple slips Apple is still inside the top ten. But not quite where it was. It dropped one spot this year, pushed aside by UnitedHealth Group, which moved from eighth to seventh. That same reshuffle appeared in the U.S.-only Fortune 500 a month earlier, so the shift didn’t come as a surprise. Apple’s fall wasn’t dramatic, but it did reflect the fact that healthcare, as an industry, isn’t slowing. CVS Health and Berkshire Hathaway also stayed strong in the upper tier, keeping U.S. firms in control of most of the top ten. Global revenue grows slowly, but steadily The full list of 500 companies brought in $41.7 trillion in revenue last year. That’s about 1.8 percent higher than the year before. Profits came in just under $3 trillion, the second highest total Fortune has ever recorded for its global list. Saudi Aramco, once again, took the lead on earnings. It posted $105 billion in profit alone, the fourth straight year it has held the top position in that category. Sectors with staying power Finance continues to dominate in size. There are 121 financial companies in the Global 500. Energy, long a staple of the list, came next with 79. Then came motor vehicles and parts, with 35 firms. The tech sector wasn’t far behind, landing 34. Healthcare had 33. These five areas together made up most of the list and drove nearly two-thirds of total revenue. So while innovation is constant, the largest corporate machines, oil, banks, manufacturers, still hold most of the weight. China and the U.S. still lead, close together There were 138 American companies on this year’s list. Greater China, including Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, came in just behind, with 130. Nine out of the ten most profitable companies came from these two countries. That balance hasn’t changed much lately. It’s still China and the United States shaping what this list looks like. Between them, they hold the pulse of global corporate power, even as growth slows in some industries and picks up in others. The biggest tech names earned big, even with lower ranks Amazon stayed at number two. Apple remained in the top ten. Alphabet landed at 13, Microsoft showed up at 22. Then came Meta at 41, Nvidia at 66, and Tesla at 106. None of them topped the revenue rankings, but their profits stood out. The group brought in $2 trillion in revenue and earned $484 billion in net income. That’s more than most countries generate in GDP. They didn’t move much in rank, but their financial output still dwarfs what most businesses achieve in years. No other group, outside energy, posted returns that high. Record number of women CEOs There are 33 women now leading companies on the Fortune Global 500 list. That’s about 6.6 percent of the total. It's still low, but it’s the highest count so far. Most of them are in the U.S., though China, France, the U.K., and Brazil have some as well. Some names stood out more than others, Mary Barra at GM, Jane Fraser at Citigroup, Sarah London at Centene, Sandy Xu at JD.com, but the broader pattern is slow, steady increase. Where these companies are based Companies on the list are spread across 243 cities and 36 countries. Beijing, Tokyo, New York, Shanghai, and London are home to more of them than anywhere else. London re-entered the top five after a few years off the leaderboard. These cities, often finance hubs or government capitals, keep drawing the biggest corporations. Their infrastructure, access, and labor markets still offer scale. New companies join, even as others fall away Nine companies made it onto the list for the first time. Among them were QNB Group, ICICI Bank, and Lithia Motors. They entered from different industries and countries, but their arrival signals movement in the sectors they belong to, especially banking and auto retail. Their exact rankings weren’t near the top, but entry alone is a sign of growth or change worth noting. What the numbers don’t show Revenue climbed. Profits held steady. But the backdrop is far less calm. Geopolitical shifts, trade disputes, and fast-moving changes in AI policy are already starting to affect how companies grow, spend, and plan. These issues haven’t upended the rankings just yet, but the next few years may look different. The Fortune Global 500 still captures the biggest players, it always has, but what happens next may depend less on size and more on how these firms navigate what's coming.

A team at Curtin University examined over 76 million radio telescope images and found that many were disrupted by emissions linked to SpaceX's Starlink satellites. These signals affected a sizable share of the data, even in areas of the radio spectrum that are supposed to stay free of interference for scientific work. More than 112,000 instances of unwanted radio noise were traced to 1,800 satellites. Some of the strongest interference appeared around 150.8 MHz, a protected range used for radio astronomy. About 700 satellites were found transmitting in that band. The emissions weren't part of any intended communication. Instead, they likely came from internal systems on the satellites. Since these signals vary and can't be predicted, they’re hard to block or plan around. Disruptions at Ground-Based Observatories Up to 30 percent of some image batches were affected by these signals. Ground telescopes depend on quiet radio zones to gather clear data from space. Even low-level interference can make parts of that research unreliable. Current global regulations focus only on deliberate transmissions. They don’t address this kind of background noise from satellite electronics. The research focused on Starlink because it's the largest satellite network at present. During the study, it had over 7,000 satellites in orbit. But other operators may also cause similar interference. Public Reactions and Technical Views Public comments on the issue have been mixed. Some said scientists should shift telescope work into space. Others argued that while space observatories like Hubble exist, they serve different functions and have limitations. Ground-based radio telescopes are needed for many long-term and wide-scope studies. Experts in astronomy and engineering pointed out that satellite systems can leak signals at unexpected frequencies. Even if main transmissions are known, background emissions from internal components can interfere with critical parts of the spectrum. Filtering out these leaks may also remove the data astronomers are trying to capture. Despite these concerns, satellite internet systems like Starlink have played a key role in bringing online access to rural and remote communities. Need for Revised Technical Standards SpaceX hasn’t broken any rules. The company follows existing international frequency regulations. But the findings from this survey have added support for revising those standards. Current laws don’t consider signal leaks that aren’t intentional but still affect science tools on Earth. While engineers continue to develop ways to work around these issues, such as using better filters or choosing times when fewer satellites pass overhead, these steps only go so far. As more satellites go up, the pressure on Earth-based telescopes is likely to increase. Notes: This post was edited/created using GenAI tools.

PARIS/BERLIN: Boris Rehlinger may not turn heads on the streets of Paris, but his voice is instantly recognisable to millions of French filmgoers. As the French voice of Ben Affleck, Joaquin Phoenix, and even Puss in Boots, Rehlinger is a star behind the scenes — and now he is fighting to keep his craft alive in the age of AI. “I feel threatened even though my voice hasn’t been replaced by AI yet,” the actor, who is part of a French initiative, TouchePasMaVF, to protect human-created dubbing from artificial intelligence, told Reuters . He said there was a team of professionals, including actors, translators, production directors, dialogue adapters and sound engineers, to ensure audiences barely notice that the actor on screen is speaking a different language than they hear. The rise of global streaming platforms such as Netflix, which relies heavily on dubbing to make global hits such as “Squid Game” and “Lupin”, has amplified demand. Consumer research firm GWI says 43% of viewers in Germany, France, Italy and Britain prefer dubbed content over subtitles. The market is expected to grow to $4.3 billion in 2025, reaching $7.6 billion by 2033, according to Business Research Insights. That growth could also amplify demand for the so-far nascent technology-based solutions, with platforms competing for subscribers and revenue, and seeking to win over advertisers from their rivals by emphasising their increasing reach. But as AI-generated voices become more sophisticated and cost-effective, voice actor industry associations across Europe are calling on the EU to tighten regulations to protect quality, jobs and artists’ back catalogues from being used to create future dubbed work. “We need legislation: Just as after the car, which replaced the horse-drawn carriage, we need a highway code,” Rehlinger said. Worries over technology in the movie industry and whether it will replace the work of humans are not new. AI has been a flashpoint in Hollywood since the labour unrest of 2023, which resulted in new guidelines for the use of the technology. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said this month that the company used generative AI to produce visual effects for the first time on screen in the original series “El Eternauta (The Eternaut)”. It has also tested GenAI to synchronise actors’ lip movements with dubbed dialogue to improve the viewing experience, according to three sources familiar with the work. These experiments rely on local voice actors to deliver the lines, rather than use AI to synthetically translate the on-screen performer’s voice into another language. Such a use of AI for dubbing is permitted under the new SAG-AFTRA actors’ union contract, which covers voice-over dubbing from foreign languages into English. It also requires that the actor rendering the dubbing service be paid. Netflix declined to comment on its use of AI in dubbing when asked by Reuters . Intellectual property Such test-runs by an industry giant will do little to allay the fears of dubbing actors. In Germany, 12 well-known dubbing actors went viral on TikTok in March, garnering 8.7 million views, for their campaign saying “Let’s protect artistic, not artificial, intelligence”. A petition from the VDS voice actors’ association calling on German and EU lawmakers to push AI companies to obtain explicit consent when training the technology on artists’ voices and fairly compensate them, as well as transparently label AI-generated content, gained more than 75,500 signatures. When intellectual property is no longer protected, no one will produce anything anymore “because they think ‘tomorrow it will be stolen from me anyway’,” said Cedric Cavatore, a VDS member who has dubbed films and video games including the PlayStation game “Final Fantasy VII Remake”. George Lucas makes Comic-Con debut for Lucas Museum of Narrative Art VDS collaborates with United Voice Artists, a global network of over 20,000 voice actors advocating for ethical AI use and fair contracts. In the United States, Hollywood video game voice and motion capture actors this month signed a new contract with video game studios focused on AI that SAG-AFTRA said represented important progress on protections against the tech. Studios experiment Some studios are already cautiously exploring AI. Eberhard Weckerle, managing director of the Neue Tonfilm Muenchen studio, hopes AI and human dubbing can one day coexist. “The fear is that AI will be used to make something as cheap as possible and then people will say, ‘Okay, I’ll accept that I’ll have poorer quality’. And that would actually be the worst thing that could happen to us,“ said the sound engineer whose studio worked on the German version of “Conclave” and is currently dubbing Guy Ritchie’s new film. Earlier this year, the German-dubbed version of streaming service Viaplay’s Polish crime series “Murderesses” was removed after criticism from viewers about the monotony of its AI-generated dialogue. The streamer had decided to look into alternative dubbing options due to how prohibitively expensive going through the traditional channels can be in Germany. The hybrid dubbing, created with Israeli startup DeepDub, used a mix of human and AI voices. DeepDub did not respond to an emailed request for comment. “We’ll continue offering subtitles and reserve dubbing for select content,” said Vanda Rapti, the executive vice president of ViaPlay Group, ViaPlay Select & Content distribution. Despite the disquiet over that series, other potential viewers seem more sanguine. According to GWI, nearly half of viewers said their opinion would not change if they learned that the content they liked was generated by AI. Some 25% said they would like it slightly less, and only 3% said they would like it much more. ‘Interest is huge’ Stefan Sporn, CEO of Audio Innovation Lab, which used AI to dub the Cannes Film Festival entry “Black Dog” from Chinese to German, believes AI will reshape, but not replace, voice work. Humans will always be needed for emotion, scripting, and language nuance, he said, “just not to the same extent”. Audio Innovation Lab’s technology alters the original actor’s voice to match the target language, aiming for authenticity and efficiency. “Interest is huge,” said Sporn, adding that producers, studios and advertisers all want to know how well it works. Another startup, Flawless AI, bills itself as an ethical AI company that works with local voice actors and uses its technology to match the on-screen actor’s lip movements to the different languages. “When AI technologies are used in the right way, they are a silver bullet to change how we can film-make in a new way,” co-CEO Scott Mann said.

A wave of competition among artificial intelligence startups is changing how much tech professionals earn, with some roles now paying well into the upper six figures. Federal disclosure documents, required for companies hiring foreign workers under the H-1B visa program, reveal how aggressively AI companies are offering high base salaries to attract skilled employees. These records show only base compensation and leave out other incentives such as stock options, signing bonuses, or performance awards, which often make total pay significantly higher. Still, the raw numbers offer a rare look into how much top startups are paying to stay ahead in the race for AI talent. OpenAI Offers Broad Salary Bands for Core Staff OpenAI, the San Francisco-based research lab behind ChatGPT, reported some of the highest base salaries across its technical and operations teams. The role of software engineer appears in several listings, with salaries ranging from $200,000 to $440,000, depending on specialization. Research-focused roles, such as research engineers and research scientists, were reported at up to $440,000. Hardware engineering roles also made the list, with pay reaching $360,000. Other technical jobs, including security engineers and intelligence investigators, were listed between $310,000 and $382,500. Non-technical positions such as program staff, finance, and community support carried base salaries between $220,000 and $270,000. In some cases, data scientists and design professionals were paid up to $385,000. These salaries do not reflect the company's broader compensation package, which includes equity and variable bonuses. Some recent listings on OpenAI’s website suggest software engineers can earn as much as $590,000 annually when all components are included. Anthropic Lists the Highest Research Engineering Compensation Anthropic, another high-profile AI startup based in the U.S., disclosed particularly high pay for its research roles. A research engineer at the company can earn between $340,000 and $690,000. Some listings for members of the technical staff also reached $405,000. The highest-paid technical staff manager received $690,000. Roles in finance and strategy were also well-compensated, typically falling between $230,000 and $285,000. Anthropic’s hiring includes other departments as well, with recruiters earning $170,000 and operations staff around $230,000. A regulatory lead position was listed at $210,000, while account executives in sales were paid about $126,000. Cohere, Glean, and Abridge Are Paying Above Traditional Tech Levels Other AI startups are competing with similar offers, even if their operations are smaller. Cohere, which builds large language models for business use, offered $240,000 to members of its technical staff. Glean, a company focused on enterprise search tools, paid software engineers between $190,000 and $260,000. Its machine learning engineering roles came with base salaries of $210,000, while software engineering managers reached $250,000. A data science team lead at Glean was listed with a base salary of $230,000. Also read: Think Your Data Stays Private? AI Tools Are Proving Otherwise Abridge, a health tech company using AI to automate clinical documentation, reported software engineers earning between $235,000 and $240,000. These are senior roles with experience requirements, placing them near the upper salary range for most health-related AI positions. Grammarly Offers Strong Compensation Across Teams Grammarly, which integrates AI into writing and grammar tools, has expanded its technical hiring with salaries that reflect the sector's competition. Machine learning software engineers earned up to $318,000, while engineers working on data infrastructure could receive $315,000. AI engineering positions were listed at $223,000. Other technical roles such as analytics engineers and platform developers were typically paid between $250,000 and $280,000. Even non-engineering roles in user research, marketing, and product design received high salaries. Product designers, for instance, were paid up to $230,000, while user researchers earned more than $221,000. Mistral AI and Safe Superintelligence Use Wide Salary Ranges Mistral AI, based in Europe but hiring in the U.S., listed salary bands for AI scientists between $280,000 and $350,000. A spokesperson later clarified that salaries in the U.S. could fall anywhere between $150,000 and $450,000. Safe Superintelligence Inc., a new company co-founded by former OpenAI researchers, showed a wide range for its technical staff as well. Listed salaries ranged from $150,000 to $500,000, which reflects a diverse hiring strategy across seniority levels. Smaller Startups Show Upward Trends in Design and Strategy Roles Anysphere, the team behind Cursor (an AI code assistant), offered $250,000 to a product designer. Synthesia, which creates AI avatars for video generation, listed a customer success manager role at $120,000. Despite being smaller firms, these companies appear to be aligning with the pay expectations set by larger AI labs. Poolside, another startup with a focus on software and AI integration, listed a performance director at $230,000. Thinking Machines Lab Matches Top-Level Compensation Thinking Machines Lab, led by Mira Murati, has entered the high-salary tier with listings of $450,000 to $500,000 for core technical roles. The company also disclosed that a co-founder and machine learning scientist earned within the same range. These figures suggest a tight alignment with compensation levels offered by longer-established AI firms. The Competitive Landscape Is Pushing Salaries Higher These figures come from mandatory government filings, which companies submit when sponsoring employees through the H-1B visa system. While they exclude other elements of compensation, they still provide a clear benchmark. Companies working in AI are consistently raising base pay to compete for a narrow slice of talent capable of building the next generation of machine learning models. From product design to platform engineering, salaries reflect a landscape where specialized knowledge continues to carry a premium.

These filings are part of the H-1B visa application process, which requires employers to report salary information when seeking to hire foreign workers for specialized roles. Only base annual salaries were considered for this analysis. Supplemental compensation such as equity grants, signing bonuses, or performance-based incentives was not included, as these details are not required in the federal disclosure process. The data collection focused exclusively on AI-focused startups with private market valuations exceeding $2 billion, excluding companies that specialize in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or military-related technologies. Salary listings were drawn from the most recent filings available in 2024 and early 2025. Where multiple salary entries existed for the same job title within a company, reported figures were expressed as ranges to reflect variation by experience, location, or specialization. In cases where company representatives provided updated or clarifying salary bands, those figures were included to provide more accurate context. This approach offers a rare look into base compensation practices within leading AI startups, given that most companies in the sector do not publicly share pay structures.

AI-powered chatbots have started showing up in writing, planning, coding, and research tasks across every kind of workspace. People are using them to outline reports, summarize documents, make to-do lists, and even troubleshoot code. But what most users eventually realize is that typing a vague request into the prompt box often leads to disappointing results. The issue isn't just with the chatbot’s limitations. It’s also with the way the request is written. Chatbots, even the most advanced ones, don’t guess well. They depend entirely on the information they’re given in that moment. That’s why knowing how to write a clear, structured, and thoughtful prompt can make the difference between something useful and something you have to redo from scratch. Here’s a breakdown of how to get the most out of chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and others, without needing to memorize any technical jargon or follow rigid templates. Begin with a Clear, Simple Goal in Your Mind Before typing anything, think through what you actually want the chatbot to produce. Do you need a short summary or a full article? Are you looking for step-by-step instructions, or do you just want ideas to build from? These differences matter more than most people expect. A chatbot doesn’t know your purpose unless you explain it. Even a small clue may lead you quickly to the answers you need. It helps to take thirty seconds and sketch out your thoughts in a few quick notes. Once you know the format and the intended use of the response, you can steer the chatbot more clearly toward that goal. Explain the Task Like You’re Talking to a New Assistant Imagine explaining a task to someone who’s bright but unfamiliar with how you work. That’s roughly how you want to speak to a chatbot. They don’t have memory of past interactions (unless you’re using advanced setups), and they don’t know your personal preferences, writing tone, or goals unless you include them in your request. Also read: Trust Gaps Remain: Everyday Scenarios Where AI Chatbots Struggle to Deliver If you’re asking it to write something, tell it who the audience is. If you need data sorted or rephrased, give context for why. If you want it written in a certain style or format, say so clearly. Otherwise, the response might be technically correct but stylistically off. Use Lists to Lay Out What You Want Sometimes, long paragraphs full of instructions tend to confuse chatbots. They might miss steps or misinterpret something halfway through. To avoid that, try laying out your instructions as bullet points or a simple numbered list. That creates structure, and structure helps the AI organize its response. Think of it like handing someone a checklist instead of a paragraph. You’re not dumbing it down, you’re reducing the chance of error. Add Examples When You Can One of the most effective tools for better prompting is to include a short example of what you want. If you’re asking for a tone, a format, or a structure, giving a sample makes your expectations much clearer. This approach doesn’t require perfect examples. Even rough sketches help the chatbot latch onto patterns. That could mean showing one version of a response, a headline style you like, or even a few phrases that capture your preferred tone. You don’t have to give many, just one or two is often enough. Give the System Time to Think Things Through Sometimes users rush the system by expecting final answers right away. For more complex tasks, a better way is to ask the chatbot to reason through each part step-by-step. This means breaking things down into small phases. If you're solving a problem, planning something complex, or evaluating options, ask the chatbot to write out its thinking process first. That structure helps the AI clarify its own logic before giving a final answer. It might not sound intuitive, but this step-by-step flow often leads to better outcomes. Assign a Role to Guide the Tone and Depth If you're not happy with how a chatbot answers, try giving it a role to play. This doesn’t mean pretending, it means giving it a working perspective. Asking it to write like a teacher, financial advisor, editor, or consultant often improves the tone and structure. Roles give the chatbot an anchor to guide how it responds. If you want short, fast, clear answers, try assigning the role of a help desk agent or journalist. If you need deeper analysis, try a role like researcher or strategist. The shift can be surprisingly effective. Let It Say "I Don’t Know" When Needed Chatbots are more confident than accurate. If a question has no clear answer, the system might still generate something that sounds convincing but isn’t based on real information. That’s why it helps to give the AI permission to admit uncertainty. You can add something like, “If you’re unsure, say so,” at the end of your prompt. This helps reduce the chance of made-up answers. You can also ask it to find a source or confirm claims before including them in its final reply. If it can’t confirm something, you can ask it to leave that part out. Refining Prompts Is Normal, Don’t Expect Perfection on the First Try Even a great prompt won’t always get you the exact result you had in mind. Sometimes the wording feels off. Other times the structure isn’t quite right. That’s normal. Most people revise their prompts once or twice before the result hits the mark. You can treat your first prompt as a draft. After seeing what the chatbot returns, adjust your instructions to be clearer or more focused. This trial-and-error process doesn’t mean your prompt failed. It means you’re shaping the interaction more deliberately. As explained by Google : "Prompting is a skill we can all learn. You will likely need to try a few different approaches for your prompt if you don’t get your desired outcome." Strong Prompts Make AI Tools More Useful, Not Smarter A well-written prompt won’t make a chatbot more intelligent, but it will make the output more aligned with your needs. Think of prompting as a form of teaching. You’re showing the AI how to respond within your context. The clearer your directions, the better the results. For people who use AI tools often, whether for writing, planning, coding, or organizing, prompting becomes less about clever tricks and more about communication. And like any skill, it gets better with practice. Notes: This post was edited/created using GenAI tools. Image: DIW-Aigen.
