US President Donald Trump will award medals to technology leaders, including Elon Musk, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Alphabet co-founder Sergey Brin and AMD CEO Lisa Su, for their contributions to science and technological innovation.
According to the White House, the names in question will be awarded the National Medal of Science, while Dell Technologies founder Michael Dell and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will be awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation.
The award ceremony, which is considered an indicator of Trump's rapprochement with the technology world, is held after the discussions on artificial intelligence security. Trump supports an approach of voluntary rules and self-regulation over stricter federal regulations on artificial intelligence.
It is also expected that at the summit, more than $100 million will be allocated to STEM education programs of US researchers and National Compute will donate $100 million in processing power loans for scientific research.
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
A more flexible regulatory environment will be created by adopting voluntary rules and a self-regulatory approach to artificial intelligence security.
Likely · Within months
The allocation of over $100 million to STEM education programs will lead to an increase in the number of employees in science and engineering.

Microsoft announced Microsoft Execution Containers (MXC) infrastructure for Windows 11, which offers a dynamic isolation layer that controls file and network access at runtime for autonomous artificial intelligence agents. MXC is supported by leading agents such as OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot and Anthropic Claude Code. It also optimizes token costs with its hybrid intelligence architecture and smart routing technology, which combines local and cloud intelligence. While local models and actions are integrated on Copilot+ PCs, new hardware powered by NVIDIA RTX Spark architecture is available for pre-order.

NVIDIA and Microsoft CEOs announced the MXC infrastructure and RTX Spark architecture for artificial intelligence agents in the Windows ecosystem. With products like the new Surface Laptop Ultra and DGX Station, native AI processing power increases to 1 petaflop and 20 petaFLOPS.

Microsoft is stopping technical support, bug fixes and security patches for Office 2021 as of October 13. Users are offered alternatives such as an upgrade to Office 2024, a Microsoft 365 subscription, free online office tools, or LibreOffice and Google Docs.

The new Siri AI features introduced by Apple with iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 cannot be activated due to technology regulations in the European Union. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the features are not expected to be available in the region in the short term, and Apple is remaining silent on the regulatory compliance process.

Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra using the Nvidia RTX Spark N1X processor platform. The starting price of the device, which has a 15-inch mini-LED screen, up to 128 GB combined memory and magnetic USB-C charging system, is $ 2,599, and the upper model is $ 5,899.99.

At the Windows and Surface event held in San Francisco, Microsoft announced autonomous artificial intelligence features, hybrid processing power model and redesigned fast search experience in Windows 11. Copilot has evolved into an autonomous AI tool that can operate directly on local files and produce mini-applications with user approval. Quick access to system controls can be achieved with the Spotlight-like extended search from the taskbar. In cooperation with NVIDIA, it was emphasized that local NPU and GPU units carry hybrid artificial intelligence loads.
