The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative cut about 70 jobs as it refocuses toward AI-driven biomedical research and its Biohub network, signaling a major donor pivot away from prior education and social-justice investments. CZI told staff the move is intended to concentrate resources on science-heavy projects and expand Biohub capabilities. At the same time, Nvidia’s CEO said the company will participate in OpenAI’s latest funding round and signaled a potentially large investment, underscoring how corporate capital is reshaping the AI infrastructure ecosystem that universities rely on for compute, partnerships and sponsored research. Universities and research offices must reassess partnership strategies: philanthropic priorities are shifting toward capital-intensive life‑science and AI platforms, while industrial partners like Nvidia are consolidating AI infrastructure funding, creating both opportunity and dependency for campus labs and computing centers.
