Citi raised its AI market valuation to $4.2 trillion and its CapEx forecast to $8.9 trillion

Citi’s April 27 report revised the 2030 global AI market upward to $4.2T, and corporate AI to $1.9T; CapEx for 2026–2030 was also raised to $8.9T. The most notable part is that corporate AI was revised up by 58%, indicating that the adoption pace is far faster than expected. The drivers include AI programming automation and the spread of application-layer CapEx expansion; Anthropic’s 2026 Q1 annualized revenue reached $30B, showing growth. For Taiwan’s technology stocks, CapEx moving higher is a positive catalyst for downstream chip and packaging demand.

After the appearance of ChatGPT, submissions to management journals increased by 42%: AI is pushing academia toward “more” rather than “better”

The editorial notes that since ChatGPT went live, the number of posts has increased by 42%, and the editorial department’s staffing has also been significantly expanded. An AI-driven flood of low-quality submissions has doubled the burden of peer review, and the pressure on the initial screening remains particularly acute. Mollick points out that the problem lies in an incentive structure that favors “more” rather than “better.” He argues that mechanisms such as a quality-oriented approach and verifiable research processes are needed to increase credibility, and he warns that other fields requiring human review are facing similar challenges.

Google signed a classified AI contract with the Pentagon; hundreds of employees’ signatures in opposition were ineffective

According to foreign media, Google and the U.S. government have signed a confidential AI contract that would allow the company to support the Department of Defense’s missions with its AI models, making it a supplier of classified AI technology to the U.S. military. The contract says it can be used for legitimate government purposes, involving mission planning and weapon target targeting; however, it prohibits large-scale monitoring or autonomous weapons without human oversight, and it does not grant the right to veto combat decisions. It also requires adjustments to safety settings. More than 600 employees signed a petition opposing it and calling for a refusal; Google has not yet responded.
