In what is being touted as a monumental development in the digital asset industry, OpenAI is in discussions with visa for a stablecoin wallet. The partnership between Visa and world network, a cryptocurrency project by Sam Altman, will be a landmark deal for the industry, as this would mean mainstream infrastructure for the digital assets industry. In this report, we deep dive into the merger of the latest and the most important tech innovations - crypto and ai.

Crypto Mainstream Adoption Gains Ground On OpenAI's Entry

Content generated using artificial intelligence has raised growing concerns with the spread of misinformation and deepfakes. In a move to combat this, Spain&rsquo;s government unveiled a draft on Tuesday (Mar 25) aimed at criminalising the use of AI-generated sexually explicit videos and images of a person&rsquo;s face or body without their consent.
AI has proved that technology can be used for malicious purposes like creating deepfakes, which are realistic computer-generated images and videos based on real content.

According to a 2019 study by the Dutch AI company Sensity, about 96 per cent of deepfakes contain non-consensual pornography, most of which feature women.

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI, recently launched the latest version of their chatbot, Grok 3. At the time of launch, Musk called Grok 3 the smartest AI on Earth. However, new reports suggest that Musk's chatbot has a tendency to give biased answers. Many Grok users took to social media to share how the AI chatbot was censoring facts about President Donald Trump and Elon Musk himself. When asked who the biggest misinformation spreader was, Grok 3 replied that it had been explicitly instructed by its developers not to mention Donald Trump or Musk when responding to such prompts.

In the world's first edition, an Italian newspaper said that they are the first in the world to publish an edition produced by artificial intelligence.&nbsp;
A conservative liberal daily, an initiative by Il Foglio, is part of a month-long journalistic experiment aimed at showing the impact AI technology has "on our way of working and our days", the newspaper's director, Claudio Cerasa, said.&nbsp;
The four-page Il Foglio AI has been wrapped into the newspaper's slim broadsheet edition and is available on newsstands and online from Tuesday (March 18).&nbsp;
&ldquo;It will be the first daily newspaper in the world on newsstands created entirely using artificial intelligence,&rdquo; said Cerasa. &ldquo;For everything. For the writing, the headlines, the quotes, the summaries. And, sometimes, even for the irony.&rdquo; He added that journalists&rsquo; role would be limited to &ldquo;asking questions [into an AI tool] and reading the answers&rdquo;.

This experiment by the Italian newspaper comes as news organisations around the world wonders how AI should be deployed.&nbsp;

Moreover, the front page also features a column headlined "Putin, the 10 betrayals" with the article highlighting "20 years of broken promises, torn-up agreements, and words betrayed" by Russian President Vladimir Putin.&nbsp;

Further as it goes on, the final page of the newspaper has AI-generated letters from readers to the editor, with one asking whether AI will render humans "useless" in the future.&nbsp;

Cerasa noted that Il Foglio AI reflects &ldquo;a real newspaper&rdquo; and is the product of &ldquo;news, debate, and provocations&rdquo;.&nbsp;

A new AI tool by Sanas is transforming Indian call center agents’ accents to sound more "neutral," raising concerns over cultural identity and workplace bias. While some see it as a business advantage, others fear it erases linguistic diversity. Is this progress or a step backward?

AI software that 'neutralises' Indian accent

As the world is moving towards optimising <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/ai" rel="dofollow">AI</a> capabilities, a French company, Teleperformance SE, has introduced filters to soften Indian-English accents. The company provides back-office outsourcing services and transformation solutions to its clients, which include call centre support.
Teleperformance uses AI to tweak the accent in real-time, a move the company claims is for better understanding to reduce miscommunication and escalations. By which they mean this may reduce demands of 'I need to speak to your manager'.

When it comes to food and beverage, chai tea latte and chicken tikka masala are not just desi staples, but palatable across the globe.

AI in call centres: French company uses $13 million tech to soften Indian accent

The launch of DeepSeek was one of the defining moments in the evolution of Artificial Intelligence. The AI startup from China unveiled a model costing over $6 million, which is a fraction of the billions being spent by the flag bearers of AI in the United States.&nbsp;
For investors, it was a major reality check or rather, shock. AI is definitely the future of work and human interactions, and thus, it was a sure-shot bet to succeed. However, they failed to factor in the costs, which spiked to billions in the name of developing AI infrastructure. Nvidia became the most valuable AI company, with its high-processing chips like the H800, used to train AI models like OpenAI. Then comes DeepSeek, which revealed a training cost far less than anyone in the market. This led to a large market sell-off, with investors looking at AI beyond its scope. Nvidia suffered the biggest single-day loss for any company in history.
<h2>Cost efficiency is the final frontier in the evolution of any innovation</h2>
DeepSeek's latest claims affirm its position as a disruptor. The company revealed a theoretical cost-profit ratio of 545 per cent per day. The company attributes its success to AI model distillation, a technique that compresses large AI models into smaller, cost-effective versions. DeepSeek leveraged open-source models from Meta and Alibaba to build its technology, challenging Silicon Valley's AI leadership. While some argue that smaller models lose some complexity and intelligence, the technique is increasingly being seen as a game-changer.
Meanwhile, US tech firms remain undeterred, highlighting the need to develop strong AI infrastructure for a long-term advantage. The companies have outlined AI spending of over $320 billion in 2025, up from $230 billion in 2024. Amazon leads the pack with plans to invest over $100 billion, mainly in AI-driven cloud infrastructure. Microsoft and Meta have also allocated over $70 billion to develop AI data centres, with Meta calling 2025 a 'defining year for AI.'
Despite these record investments, cloud revenues have been weaker than expected due to supply constraints. Analysts predict these challenges will ease in the second half of 2025. However, for investors, understanding how much money is needed to develop and train AI is crucial for future bets.

Last week's moves in Asian stocks give us a glimpse of euphoria in the regional tech stocks.

The Hang Seng index rose to a three-year peak. The Hang Seng index surged nearly four per cent to its highest level since February 2022, driven by a 14.7 per cent jump in Alibaba shares following strong earnings.<o:p></o:p>
The Hang Seng tech index climbed over six per cent. China's stock index gained over one per cent. The latest ai breakthrough by Deepseek has investor enthusiastic in China&rsquo;s technological prowess. That has propelled Chinese stocks to new heights in recent days.<o:p></o:p>
