More than 1,100 vessels have been hit by GPS interference across the Middle East Gulf since the start of the conflict, according to maritime firm Windward. Experts warn these attacks pose severe risks to navigation and are contributing to the de facto blockade of the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
Good to see demand management being tested to adjust the power needs of AI workloads without impacting latency, and to curtail energy usage to maintain grid stability temporarily.

Emerald AI, EPRI, National Grid, Nebius, and NVIDIA today announced a landmark, UK-first demonstration proving high-performance AI infrastructure can operate as a flexible, grid-responsive asset. Using Emerald AI’s software, Emerald Conductor, to manage a cluster of NVIDIA GPUs, the trial validated that artificial intelligence data centres can dynamically adjust power consumption in response to real-time signals, without disrupting critical workloads.
