   Mitsubishi Heavy Industries reportedly to expand Georgia gas turbine plant for AI power demand

   Nikkei, as reported by TechNews and MoneyDJ, says Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will invest $490 million (about ¥77 billion) to expand its factory in Georgia, raising U.S. gas-turbine manufacturing and maintenance capacity. The company said it plans to invest more than ¥100 billion across Japanese and U.S. sites to double large gas-turbine capacity by fiscal 2030 versus fiscal 2024, with the Georgia expansion forming part of that plan. The International Energy Agency estimates global data-center electricity demand will reach twice the 2024 level by 2030.

   Sega says it will not let AI handle game creative work

   According to DoNews citing Nikkei, Sega deputy chief commercial officer Tsuyoshi Saito said on October 6, 2026 that the company is highly cautious about using AI in game development and will never assign creative work to AI. Sega has set up a "generative AI committee" to coordinate tool development, usage guidelines and compliance reviews, with public relations and legal staff from around the world involved. The report says Sega used AI in a limited way for early research on Crazy Taxi and for the dialogue system in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis, but not in core creative areas such as art production, aiming to balance efficiency with creative autonomy.
