By Stephen Wright. Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) have burst into public consciousness in the last several years. While large language and multimodal models like GPT-4 have recently taken the excitement to a new level, developments in voice recognition software, novel recommendation systems for online retailers and streaming services, superhuman-level play by computers in Chess and Go, and unfulfilled promises in technologies like self-driving cars have been generating interest for more than a decade.

Signals
Goldman Sachs predicts that China is likely to almost triple its wind and solar targets by 2030, based on the country's drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. According to the report by the global investment bank, China's renewable energy target is expected to increase from 1,200 gigawatts (GW) to 3,000 GW by the end of this decade. This represents a significant increase in China's previous renewable energy goal and indicates the country's commitment to its ambitious climate change targets. The report noted that China is already the world's largest producer of solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicles, and has made considerable progress in reducing its reliance on coal-fired power plants. The country is currently responsible for almost a third of the world's carbon emissions and aims to reach peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has released a new report entitled "U.S. Solar Photovoltaic System and Energy Storage Cost Benchmark: Q2 2022" which provides the latest data on solar photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage costs in the United States. The report reveals that the cost of solar PV systems has continued to decline, with a median installed price of $1.67 per watt (DC) in Q2 2022, a decrease of 7% compared to the same period last year. Additionally, the report indicates that the cost of energy storage systems has also fallen, with a median installed price of $166 per kilowatt-hour (DC) in Q2 2022, a decrease of 11% compared to the same period last year.

Signals
According to an internal Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) report, Canadians believe that the agency is not doing enough to catch wealthy tax evaders. The report shows that many Canadians feel that the CRA goes too easy on high-income individuals and corporations who avoid paying taxes. This sentiment is a cause for concern, as it could lead to a lack of confidence in the agency's ability to enforce tax laws effectively. The report's findings suggest that Canadians have a perception that the CRA is more focused on pursuing low-income individuals for small amounts of tax debt while ignoring more substantial tax evasion by the wealthy. The report also notes that many Canadians feel that the CRA lacks the resources and tools needed to go after wealthy tax evaders effectively.
