The post Fed Blames AI Demand Boom for Rising US Inflation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve officials were split last month on whether to increase interest rates or keep them steady, with many seeing accelerating demand for artificial intelligence as a driver of inflation, according to meeting minutes released on Wednesday. The minutes covered the first monetary policy meeting under Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. Many Federal Open Market Committee members said that “ongoing strong demand for AI infrastructure would likely sustain upward pressure on prices for technology products and electricity,” according to the minutes.   AI-related inflationary pressure, colloquially known as “chipflation,” stems from the rising cost of semiconductors used by data centers. This surge in demand, along with data center competition for energy, has pushed up consumer prices for a wide range of electronic goods, devices and power, and may continue as AI demand increases. Higher inflation is g

Ongoing strong demand for AI infrastructure “would likely sustain upward pressure on prices for technology products and electricity,” Federal Reserve policymakers said.

The post Bitcoin Hovers Near $62K as BlackRock Trims AI Stock Bets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News The world’s largest asset manager has pared back its most AI-exposed equity positions, its global fixed-income chief said this week, describing the move as a rebalancing rather than a retreat. The firm trimmed holdings in companies whose earnings lean most heavily on the artificial-intelligence buildout, and separately cut a meaningful slice of its broader equity exposure. Management framed the decision as trimming winners, not abandoning the theme. Because the manager oversees more client money than any rival, its positioning draws outsized scrutiny, sharpening an existing debate over whether market concentration in a handful of AI leaders has stretched too far ahead of underlying earnings. The scale behind those comments is what gives them weight. The manager reported a record 13.9 trillion dollars in assets under management as of March 31, according to its regulatory f

The post SpaceX Moves Bitcoin After Six Months but 18,712 BTC Stash Stays Intact appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin News SpaceX has moved Bitcoin for the first time in six months, on-chain data shows, reviving speculation that Elon Musk’s rocket company may be preparing to sell — though no disposal has been confirmed. Blockchain trackers flagged an $88 test transfer between wallets controlled by the firm, the first outbound Bitcoin activity from its addresses since early this year. Despite the renewed attention, SpaceX’s reported holdings remain unchanged at 18,712 BTC. The small transaction alone does not signal a sale, but it drew immediate market scrutiny given the company’s history of preceding larger wallet reshuffles with modest test sends. The nervousness stems from SpaceX’s track record of large custodial moves. In October 2025, the company relocated 2,495 BTC — worth roughly $257 million at the time — to two newly created wallets after months of dormancy. Earlier, in

The post Anthropic Develops Novel System to Restrict Dual-Use AI Risks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Timothy Morano Jul 08, 2026 23:24 Anthropic introduces GRAM, a method to control dual-use AI knowledge, amid policy concerns over unchecked AI risks. Anthropic has unveiled GRAM (Gradient-Routed Auxiliary Modules), a novel approach to controlling access to dual-use knowledge in AI models, according to a research update published on July 8, 2026. Dual-use knowledge refers to AI capabilities that can serve beneficial purposes, such as cybersecurity or virology research, but can also be weaponized for malicious intents. GRAM aims to surgically limit access to such knowledge without requiring separate, costly retraining for different use cases. Current dual-use safeguards, like refusal training and classifiers, often fail to provide robust protection. These methods block potentially harmful outputs but do not address the knowledge embedded in the model itself. GRAM,
