Trump signed several executive orders to give his AI plan more legal weight, with his AI czar David Sacks (R) by his side. President Donald Trump unveiled an aggressive, low-regulation strategy on Wednesday to boost big tech's race to stay ahead of China on artificial intelligence and cement US dominance in the fast-expanding field. Trump's 25-page "America's AI Action Plan" outlines three aims: accelerating innovation, building infrastructure, and leading

OpenAI/Futurism Earlier this week, OpenAI announced a “strategic partnership” with AI chipmaker Nvidia in which the duo of tech giants will build and deploy upwards of 10 gigawatts of AI data centers. Nvidia will invest up to $100 billion in the project, an enormous project that could end up requiring an astronomical amount of electricity to run. As Fortune reports, the planned data centers would consume as much as the entire city of New York City — and th

By early Thursday morning, Huang was no longer CEO of the company he co-founded 33 years ago. Then, Thursday afternoon, Reuters dropped another bombshell, publishing a report alleging that Huang had yet another extramarital affair with another unnamed Nvidia employee. The U.S. and China are embroiled in a fierce technological arms race to build the most advanced AI infrastructure, which could shape each country’s economic future, military prowess, and capa

The xAI lawsuit comes as Elon Musk publicly feuds with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Elon Musk's companies xAI and X filed a sweeping US antitrust lawsuit Monday against Apple and OpenAI, alleging the tech giants formed an illegal partnership to stifle competition in artificial intelligence and smartphone markets. The 61-page complaint, filed in federal court in Texas, accuses Apple and OpenAI of entering an exclusive deal that makes OpenAI's ChatGPT the only gen

Getty / Futurism As dark clouds continue to gather over the stock market, and with fears of a ready-to-burst AI bubble growing, some investors are furious that anybody would even question the industry’s enormous valuations, astronomical spending sprees, and severely lacking financial model. Many industry leaders have acknowledged that there’s likely a bubble. But as Axios reports, die-hard AI investors are furious at the suggestion. “The reality is, the wo

Getty / Futurism OpenAI isn’t just burning through cash. It’s lighting an entire mountain of money on fire. But since it’s not a publicly traded company, the extent of that mountain remains difficult to gauge. But clues periodically emerge: as the Financial Times reports, for instance, the company recently signed a staggering $250 billion rental agreement with Microsoft — as well as a $38 billion contract with Amazon, less than a week later. According to H

The American AI industry is split over open models. Those in the industry who say they are all for open AI development have started blaming frontier AI model providers, especially Anthropic, for pushing the Trump administration towards adopting a stricter stance favoring closed models. Now, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is claiming he is just misunderstood. The debate over open-source models was reopened earlier this month when Chinese AI lab Moonshot release

The more Americans learn and interact with artificial intelligence, the more skeptical they grow of it. That is one trend that shows up in a new Bentley University-Gallup survey shared with Gizmodo. The examination of public opinion on AI, which dates back to 2023, found that while people increasingly see the technology as comparable to certain human capabilities, their trust in it and faith in its ability to improve their lives are declining. Per the surv

DOI: 10.48550/arxiv.2509.04499 Artificial intelligence may well save us time by finding information faster, but it is not always a reliable researcher. It frequently makes unsupported claims that are not backed up by reliable sources. A study by Pranav Narayanan Venkit at Salesforce AI Research and colleagues fo

Your pinned MCP server may not be as pinned as you think An MCP server configured to run one fixed release on an administrator’s workstation ran with 15 different sets of dependencies over five weeks, with its configuration untouched. James Lagermann, Director of Technical Alliances at Corelight, found the drift in his company’s lab. Twenty-three of the server’s 69 packages changed versions, including the cryptography library, the JSON Web Token library an

Getty / Futurism A stack of major AI ethics lawsuits against Google have finally come to an end. According to the New York Times, the family of a deceased 14-year-old named Sewell Setzer III has agreed to settle a lawsuit against Google and the AI companion company Character.AI out of court for an undisclosed sum. In a filing submitted on Wednesday, the parties involved said they had agreed “to resolve all claims,” though the exact terms of the agreement h
