LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future”, “FF” or the “Company”), a California-based global Embodied AI (EAI) ecosystem company, today announced a series of major strategic developments during Part Two of its FF EAI “Built in USA” Upstream & Downstream Business Partner Conference, Upstream Partner Session & Industry Ecosystem Co-Creation Session.
The announcements include the proposed strategic acquisition of FF’s EAI robotics business by Nasdaq-listed AIxC (NASDAQ: FFR), whose controlling stockholder is FFAI, FFAI’s planned strategic upgrade, execution plans for Phase Two of FF’s “Built in USA” Acceleration Program, and the official opening of the EAI Robotics “Made in USA” Industry Alliance. The conference is being held in conjunction with IROS 2026 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where FF is participating from September 28-30. Together, these initiatives are designed to accelerate FF’s transition from individual intelligent products toward a broader Physical AI ecosystem spanning robotics, AI, real-world data, industry applications, U.S. manufacturing and shared intelligent mobility.
Proposed AIxC Acquisition Could Establish a Dedicated Public Platform for FF’s EAI Robotics Business
On September 28, AIxC announced that it had signed a non-binding term sheet with FFAI for a proposed all-stock acquisition of FFAI’s robotics business at a proposed valuation of approximately $200 million. Both the FFAI and AIxC special committees have approved the term sheet. Under the proposed transaction, AIxC would acquire the FF EAI robotics business from FFAI in exchange for AIxC stock. The transaction remains subject to due diligence, definitive transaction documents, applicable approvals and other conditions. The term sheet filed with the SEC expressly states that it is non-binding except for specified provisions and contemplates an internal restructuring through which the robotics-related assets, intellectual property, data, contracts, employees and liabilities would be contributed into the entity to be acquired by AIxC.
AIxC will be renamed FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Inc., and its Nasdaq ticker will change from AIXC to FFR, effective September 30, 2026. Upon completion of the proposed acquisition, AIxC plans to discontinue its crypto strategy and transition into a pure-play robotics ecosystem company centered on FF’s “Four-Core Full-Stack AI” model. FF believes the transaction could give its robotics business a dedicated public-market platform, greater operational and financing independence and a clearer mechanism through which investors can evaluate the business on its own operating fundamentals and long-term potential.
FFAI expects to remain the single largest and controlling stockholder of FFR following completion of the transaction, allowing FFAI to continue participating in the potential future value of the robotics business.
Rationale behind the $200 million valuation of FF EAI Robotics
FFAI and FFR believe that the approximately $200 million proposed valuation reflects the established product, delivery, and commercialization foundation of the FFAI Robotics business, as well as the significant value and long-term growth potential of its “Four-Core Full-Stack AI” ecosystem. In less than one year, the business has launched 24 products across three robot forms, five product series and 11 models, all of which have received FCC certification and achieved commercial deliveries of humanoid and biomimetic robotic products. As of the end of August, cumulative shipments reached 552 units. In the unaudited second quarter of 2026, the business recorded an average gross margin of approximately 30.9% on its “Four-Core Full-Stack AI” robotics products, with cumulative revenue of approximately $1.52 million. The EAI Robotics business targets positive quarterly operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2028 and aims to maintain a Top 3 comprehensive ranking among EAI robotics ecosystem companies over the next five years.
Total revenue from the “Four-Core Full-Stack AI” ecosystem is expected to reach approximately $7.1 million in 2026 and approximately $45.17 million in 2027, with projected cumulative revenue of approximately $1.98 billion over five years. Cumulative EAI Device sales are targeted to exceed 130,000 units over the five-year period.
EAI Robotics Targets First New EAI Device from U.S. Production in Q1 2027
The EAI Robotics is now advancing Phase Two of its “Built in USA” Acceleration Program, building on the three-phase roadmap introduced at Part One of the Company’s business partner conference on August 26. The program is intended to turn FF’s EAI technologies and ecosystem capabilities into longer-term U.S. capabilities in R&D, supply-chain integration, compliance, certification, manufacturing, testing, delivery and services. FF is advancing the development of its Next Futurist and Next Aegis product series while working to build U.S.-based supply-chain and manufacturing capabilities.
The Company has also taken steps to address applicable U.S. regulatory and compliance requirements. On September 2, FF announced an agreement under which AIBOT would provide advisory services concerning applicable FCC, Information and Communications Technology and Services (“ICTS”) and National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”) requirements, along with U.S. localization. FF also announced its participation in the FCC’s public-comment process.
The Company intends to evaluate localization opportunities for key EAI Device components, including batteries, motion-control boards, computing boards and robot structures, while progressively expanding U.S.-based assembly, sourcing and manufacturing.
FF is targeting first quarter of 2027 for its first new EAI Device to roll off a U.S. production line, a target the Company publicly announced earlier this month as part of its continuing “Built in USA” strategy. The Company intends to leverage existing manufacturing, supply-chain management, testing, validation and quality-control resources while adapting flexible production lines for final assembly and end-of-line testing of humanoid and quadruped robots.
Over the longer term, FF plans to establish flexible production capabilities capable of supporting multiple EAI Device models on shared manufacturing lines. For FF, “Built in USA” is intended to be more than final assembly. The Company’s long-term objective is to progressively increase U.S. participation across product development, core components, supply chain, compliance, production, testing and delivery while working toward applicable federal sourcing and procurement requirements.
FF EAI Robotics “Made in USA” Industry Alliance Officially Opens for Membership
As part of the conference, FF is also officially opening its EAI Robotics “Made in USA” Industry Alliance to new members. FF originally introduced the Global Industry Alliance initiative during Part One of its “Built in USA, Benefit the World” event on August 26, alongside the three-phase roadmap for its EAI robotics acceleration program. The alliance is centered around three ideas:
Global Innovation. U.S. Platform. Ecosystem Synergy.
FF intends to bring together partners from around the world across robotics, AI, semiconductors, core components, manufacturing, supply chains, research, real-world applications and capital, using the United States as an important platform for innovation, R&D, advanced manufacturing and commercialization.
The alliance is being opened to four broad partner groups:
Technology and product partners, spanning EAI Devices, components, EAI Brain technologies, developer tools, Industry Productivity Solutions and data;Manufacturing and supply-chain partners, including factories, manufacturing equipment and processes, testing, quality, certification and component suppliers;Commercialization and application partners, including industry customers, system integrators, channel partners, operators, asset owners and rental-service providers; andGovernment, research, capital, and long-term strategic partners.
FF plans to work with developers through its EAI Brain and Developer Platform, with suppliers through joint validation and progressive U.S. localization, and with industry partners by identifying real-world tasks around which deployable Industry Productivity Solutions can be developed. Ten global partners were invited to participate in Part Two of the conference and shared their perspectives on the EAI robotics industry and FF’s “Built in USA” initiative.

28 minutes agoon
September 30, 2026By
IIT Kharagpur’s first-ever online executive AI portfolio has recorded 3x enrolment growth quarter-on-quarter, prompting an expansion from four to seven specialised programmes.
KHARAGPUR, India, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — India’s AI upskilling wave is increasingly being driven by experienced professionals rather than early-career talent. Reflecting this shift, IIT Kharagpur and upGrad have expanded their executive AI portfolio from four to seven programmes after recording 3x QoQ enrolment growth across the portfolio.
Announced in April 2026, the collaboration has attracted learners from 133 cities across India and seven countries—the UAE, US, UK, Germany, Canada, Australia and Kuwait. The portfolio has drawn a distinctly senior audience, with a median work experience of 12 years, while nearly 63% of learners have over a decade of professional experience.
Participants include professionals from leading organisations such as TCS, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, HSBC, Infosys, Accenture, Deloitte, Capgemini, IBM, Oracle, Cognizant, Salesforce, Wipro, Citi and Qualcomm, spanning roles including Vice Presidents, Principal Engineers, Engineering Managers, Tech Leads, Staff Software Engineers, Senior Consultants and Data Scientists.
The strong response has also shaped the evolution of the portfolio. Originally launched with four executive programmes covering Generative AI, AI-Native Software Engineering, Applied AI & Machine Learning, and Technology & AI Leadership, it has now expanded with three specialised offerings in Building AI Products, Systems & Services, Applied Data Science & Agentic AI, and FinTech & AI, enabling professionals to pursue role-specific AI capabilities.
Demand has been strongest for hands-on AI programmes. The Executive Post Graduate Certificate in Generative AI & Agentic AI and the Executive Post Graduate Certificate in Applied AI & Machine Learning have each recorded 2x quarter-on-quarter enrolment growth, emerging as the fastest-growing programmes in the portfolio. The remaining growth has been driven by increasing demand across specialised offerings in AI product development, data science, software engineering, technology leadership and fintech, reflecting the broadening adoption of AI skills across functions and industries.
The demand spans India’s technology corridors. Bengaluru has emerged as the largest learner hub, followed by Hyderabad and Pune, while professionals from Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Kolkata, Chennai and numerous emerging cities are also enrolling in large numbers. Sector-wise, technology services, consulting and financial services are leading AI adoption, accounting for nearly half of the learner base.
Commenting on the milestone, Prof. Suman Chakraborty, Director, IIT Kharagpur, said: “As IIT Kharagpur marks 75 years of academic excellence and nation-building, we remain conscious that the true measure of an institution lies not only in its legacy, but also in its ability to respond to the needs of the future. Artificial intelligence is transforming industries, institutions and society, making lifelong learning an increasingly important academic responsibility. Our partnership with upGrad reflects this commitment by bringing IIT Kharagpur’s academic depth to professionals at scale. Initiatives such as the Outreach Course Network (OCN) further this vision by creating a trusted framework for learning. We are encouraged by the growth of this collaboration and look forward to expanding it into new areas of national and global relevance.”
Anuj Vishwakarma, CEO – Higher Education Programmes, upGrad, said:”The response to this portfolio has reaffirmed a shift we’ve been observing across the industry—AI upskilling is no longer driven primarily by early-career professionals. Today’s learners are experienced technology leaders who recognise that staying relevant requires continuous reinvention. What has been particularly encouraging is the strong demand for specialised, role-aligned learning, which has led us to expand the portfolio from four to seven programmes within months of launch. Together with IIT Kharagpur, we’re building pathways that enable professionals to translate AI from a strategic priority into practical capability at work.”
Early learner engagement has also remained strong, with over 95% of enrolled learners activating their accounts and beginning their learning journey, reflecting high programme relevance among working professionals balancing full-time careers. Completion and certification metrics will become available as the earliest cohorts progress through the programmes.
The milestone comes as IIT Kharagpur marks its 75th year on 18 August 2026. As the institute’s first-ever online executive education portfolio, the collaboration signals a growing appetite among experienced professionals for structured, advanced AI education and highlights the increasing role of executive learning in preparing India’s technology workforce for the AI era.
