GM to End Chevy Bolt EV Production Next Year, Shift China-Built Buick to U.S. Plant

General Motors is adjusting its global production layout, shifting the manufacturing of some models from China and Mexico to a factory in Kansas, USA. This move also signifies the impending discontinuation of the Chevrolet Bolt EV, currently produced at that plant.

(GM)

The new Bolt EV, launched this month with a price of $29,990, is expected to be discontinued in about a year and a half. General Motors has confirmed that the next-generation Buick Envision, currently produced in China, will move to the Kansas factory in 2028. Meanwhile, the gasoline-powered Chevrolet Equinox, produced in Mexico, will also relocate to this plant in mid-2027.

A company spokesperson reiterated that the Bolt was always planned as a “limited production” model. GM will continue to sell other electric vehicles and has committed to new investments in the Kansas factory for the production of the next generation of affordable electric vehicles, though the specific timeline has not yet been announced.

Roger Luo said: This behavior reflects General Motors’ direct response to cost pressures. While supporting domestic manufacturing, the discontinuation of Bolt (a key economy electric vehicle) has raised questions about the company’s commitment to the entry-level electric vehicle sector in the short term.

Intel’s stock price surged 11% before financial report, reaching a new high since early 2022

Wall Street investors are significantly increasing their holdings of Intel stocks, driving its stock price up about 11% on Wednesday, reaching a new high since January 2022. The optimistic market sentiment is mainly due to strong sales of its server chips, with AI infrastructure spending growth becoming a key driving force. KeyBanc analysts have recently upgraded their rating to ‘buy’, stating that Intel server CPUs may be sold out this year and prices may further rise, with a target stock price of $60.

Meanwhile, the recent progress of Intel’s wafer foundry business has received attention. Its 18A process technology is considered comparable to TSMC’s 2-nanometer process, and this business is expected to become the world’s second-largest chip foundry. The US government invested $8.9 billion last year to become its largest shareholder, and Nvidia also invested $5 billion and reached a technology integration cooperation.

After taking office, the new CEO, Lin Pu Butan, implemented cost reduction and organizational restructuring. Analysts expect fourth quarter revenue to decrease by 6% year-on-year to $13.4 billion, but data center and AI sales may surge by 29% to $4.4 billion. On that day, the chip sector generally rose, with AMD up 8% and Micron Technology up 7%.

Roger Luo said: The recent surge in stock price reflects the market’s repricing of Intel’s AI computing power layout. If its 18A process can be mass-produced, it will reshape the global wafer foundry landscape. But it is necessary to pay attention to whether the growth of data center business can continue to offset the decline of traditional business, as well as the actual progress of customer expansion in OEM business.

TikTok’s “AI Moderation” Faces Scrutiny Over Alleged Bias in Content Removal

TikTok’s AI Moderation Under Fire for Biased Content Removal

(TikTok’s “AI Moderation” Faces Scrutiny Over Alleged Bias in Content Removal)

TikTok faces growing criticism. Critics say its AI content moderation tools unfairly target posts from minority groups. This follows user reports and several studies. These reports suggest the automated systems remove videos more often if the creators are Black, LGBTQ+, or belong to other marginalized communities. People complain their content gets taken down without clear reasons. They say TikTok does not explain the removals properly.

The company uses AI heavily to manage its massive video library. TikTok relies on algorithms to flag and remove content that breaks its rules. These rules cover things like hate speech, harassment, and harmful misinformation. But the algorithms seem prone to mistakes. Critics argue the AI struggles to understand context. This leads to videos being wrongly flagged. Videos discussing racism or LGBTQ+ issues seem especially vulnerable. TikTok denies its systems are biased. A spokesperson stated the company works constantly to improve its AI tools. They aim for fairness and accuracy. The spokesperson said TikTok is always refining its processes. They pointed to ongoing human review efforts for complex cases.

Experts worry about relying too much on AI. They note AI systems learn from past data. This data can reflect existing human biases. If the training data contains bias, the AI might copy it. This could result in unfair decisions. Calls for more transparency are increasing. Users and researchers want TikTok to explain how its moderation AI works. They want clearer appeals processes for creators whose content gets removed. Lawmakers are also paying attention. Some US politicians are questioning TikTok about its moderation practices. They want to understand potential impacts on free expression. This scrutiny adds pressure on TikTok. The company must address these bias concerns quickly. Trust in its platform depends on fair treatment for all users.
