With Drone Demand Just Starting to Take Flight, Consider These Tech Giants October 23, 2025 - Baystreet.ca Distributed on behalf of ZenaTechArtificial intelligence and quantum computing will be a game changer for just about every major industry, creating big opportunities for companies, such as ZenaTech Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD), Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR), Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE: TSM), and C3.ai Inc. (NYSE: AI). In fact, the US Department of Defense, along with other federal agencies, has been calling for advancements in quantum-resistant communications, post-quantum cybersecurity, and quantum sensing for drone navigation in GPS-denied environments to ensure US defense and aerospace superiority. In addition, the White House’s AI Action Plan and the three Executive Orders issued in July 2025 prioritize domestic AI innovation, infrastructure development, and deployment of ideologically neutral AI technologies. All of which is a significant catalyst for quantum computing, cybersecurity, and drone technology. In fact, one of the beneficiaries is ZenaTech Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA). In fact, ZenaTech (NASDAQ: ZENA) just announced that it selected Baton Rouge, Louisiana as the base for Zena AI, Inc., the company’s specialized AI division that will develop next-generation drone technologies for US defense and homeland security applications. “Selecting Baton Rouge as the US hub for Zena AI will fast-track our R&D efforts to advance research, development, and commercialization of next-generation drone technologies for defense and homeland security,” said Shaun Passley, PhD, ZenaTech CEO. “The city’s growing technology ecosystem including strong connections to defense and infrastructure resources, aerospace and engineering talent, and research resources make it an ideal location for advanced AI drone and quantum innovation.” The team will advance ZenaDrone’s ISR (Inspection, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) and related AI drone platforms while expanding the company’s pool of top American AI and engineering talent. In addition, teams will work on a range of advanced defense and homeland security applications, including autonomous navigation, multi-drone or drone fleet coordination, real-time decision-making, along with exploration of intuitive control interfaces, such as app- or voice-based drone commands for operational use. Development work will also be conducted on the Eagle Eye project, an initiative that will integrate AI drones, historical and real time data, and quantum computing to deliver a host of predictive insights, accelerated decision-making solutions, and optimized battlefield performance. Some of the other top beneficiaries include: Advanced Micro Devices announced it is expanding its global collaboration on multiple fronts with Cohere, the leading security-first enterprise AI company. Cohere customers will have access to AMD Instinct™ GPU-powered infrastructure for Cohere’s full suite of AI offerings, including Command A, Command A Vision, Command A Translate and North. This gives enterprise and sovereign AI initiatives in Canada and around the world more choices to meet performance and TCO goals that make their AI plans real. AMD also announced that it will integrate Cohere’s North platform into its internal enterprise AI portfolio, making Cohere’s technology an integral part of the AMD internal and engineering AI workloads at AMD. Palantir Technologies and Hadean, one of the UK’s leading defense tech scale ups, have today announced a partnership which will see Hadean’s leading edge wargaming, command & control and battlefield training products deployed on Palantir’s Foundry software. Hadean is at the forefront of the UK’s defense tech ecosystem and has developed world leading software which is used by defense organizations and militaries around the world. In November 2024 it signed a £20 million Enterprise Agreement Lite with the Ministry of Defense (MoD) to provide its unique digital wargaming and Command & Control platforms, powered by AI. The Hadean Platform provides out-of-the-box simulation and orchestration tools which are used by armed forces to rehearse, train and plan combat scenarios. This is powered by AI, which rapidly generates scenarios and agents to represent virtual forces, training forces in live and virtual environments. Hadean’s wargaming technology (populAI) accurately depicts realistic human behaviors and scenarios that evolve with geopolitical shifts and emerging threats. Taiwan Semiconductor announced consolidated revenue of NT$989.92 billion, net income of NT$452.30 billion, and diluted earnings per share of NT$17.44 (US$2.92 per ADR unit) for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. Year-over-year, third quarter revenue increased 30.3%, while net income and diluted EPS increased 39.1% and 39.0% respectively. Compared to second quarter 2025, third quarter results represented a 6.0% increase in revenue and a 13.6% increase in net income. All figures were prepared in accordance with TIFRS on a consolidated basis. In US dollars, third quarter revenue was $33.10 billion, which increased 40.8% year-over-year and increased 10.1% from the previous quarter. Gross margin for the quarter was 59.5%, operating margin was 50.6%, and net profit margin was 45.7%. In the third quarter, shipments of 3-nanometer accounted for 23% of total wafer revenue; 5-nanometer accounted for 37%; 7-nanometer accounted for 14%. Advanced technologies, defined as 7-nanometer and more advanced technologies, accounted for 74% of total wafer revenue. C3.ai Inc. just announced financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended July 31, 2025. “The good news is we have completely restructured the sales and services organization, including new and highly experienced leadership across the board to ensure a return to accelerating growth and increased customer success at C3 AI, and even better, we have appointed an exceptionally talented new CEO to take the company to the next level and realize the full potential of the business. The bad news is that financial performance in Q1 was completely unacceptable. Having given this a lot of thought, I attribute this to two factors. One: it is clear that in the short term, the reorganization with new sales and services leadership had a disruptive effect. Two: as we have previously announced, I have had a number of unanticipated health issues. Unfortunately, this prevented me from participating in the sales process as actively as I have in the past. With the benefit of hindsight, it is apparent that my active participation in the sales process may have had a greater impact than I previously thought. That being said, as we enter Q2, we have new leadership in place, a restructuring of the sales and services organization completed, an extraordinarily large market opportunity, a superlative product offering, and exceptional levels of customer satisfaction, and I am confident the company is positioned to accelerate going forward,” said Thomas M. Siebel, Founder and Chairman, C3 AI.
