• 'AI or die' - but can Big Tech's profits survive the energy squeeze? — Power and infrastructure are becoming the practical constraint on AI scale. For Brett, that makes this less about hype and more about the operating economics of running durable AI services. 🔗 Graph: AI Strategy, Enterprise Monitoring, UC San Diego 📅 Published: 2026-04-20 📰 https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/ai-or-die-can-big-techs-profits-survive-energy-squeeze-2026-04-20/

• Meta extends custom chips deal with Broadcom to power AI ambitions — Custom silicon is turning into a strategic advantage for large AI operators. That matters for any long-term model-agnostic platform strategy because upstream infrastructure choices increasingly shape cost, latency, and scale. 🔗 Graph: AI Strategy, Model Agnosticism, Vertical AI 📅 Published: 2026-04-14 📰 https://www.reuters.com/business/meta-inks-deal-with-broadcom-custom-ai-chips-2026-04-14/

• Employers say they struggle to find graduates with the right AI skillset — The workforce signal is getting sharper: AI fluency is becoming table stakes, but applied capability is still scarce. That strengthens the case for institution-specific AI programs that combine tools, training, and governed adoption. 🔗 Graph: Higher Ed AI, AI Adoption, UC San Diego 📅 Published: 2026-04-21 📰 https://www.highereddive.com/news/employers-struggle-to-find-workers-with-the-right-ai-skillset/818017/

It maps directly to Brett's challenge of scaling AI without losing institutional control. 🔗 Graph: Higher Ed AI, AI Governance, AI Compliance & Governance 📅 Published: 2026-04-21 📰 https://www.highereddive.com/news/4-higher-education-leaders-on-ais-biggest-benefits-and-risks/818014/

• The Myriad Complex Ways Young People Use AI — Student behavior is already ahead of most formal policy frameworks. The important signal is not whether AI use is happening, but how institutions respond with guidance, guardrails, and service design. 🔗 Graph: Higher Ed AI, AI Adoption, AI Governance 📅 Published: 2026-04-21 📰 https://www.insidehighered.com/news/student-success/health-wellness/2026/04/21/myriad-complex-ways-young-people-use-ai

The opportunity remains real, but the winners will be the operators who can industrialize AI without losing trust, cost discipline, or policy control.
