AI has triggered the biggest gas-plant building boom in history, and a quiet fight to stop it

The AI build-out has done something the fossil-fuel industry could not do for itself. It has set off the largest-ever construction boom in natural gas-fired power plants, the Associated Press reports. Aging coal plants are being kept alive past their retirement dates too. Utilities, plant owners, and the federal government have all pushed to postpone the […]

Zhipu’s founder says frontier AI should stay open to everyone. His own government may disagree.

The founder of China’s most prominent AI lab has made an unambiguous case for openness. Frontier AI should stay broadly accessible rather than controlled by a select few, Zhipu’s Tang Jie wrote in an internal memo reviewed by Bloomberg. His argument inverts the usual security logic. Real safety comes from broad participation, sharing, and oversight, he […]

Meta spent a year being punished for its AI spending. Then it told investors how it would get the money back.

Meta has had a miserable year on the market, flat while the Nasdaq-100 climbed 18%. That changed abruptly, with the stock posting its best week since early 2024, CNBC reports.

The AI race has quietly stopped being about who has the biggest model

For years the industry ran on one assumption, that the biggest model wins. That belief is now breaking down, CNBC reports. Companies are choosing models by task, cost, and control instead of benchmark position. The frontier still matters, but it is no longer the only thing being bought. The reason is unromantic.

AI bosses say demand is ‘almost unlimited’. The market is no longer taking their word for it.

Executives building the AI boom are unwavering. Demand is effectively bottomless, they say, even as the stocks that ride on it wobble, CNBC reports. Pat Gelsinger, the former Intel chief now at Playground Global, put it plainly. He thinks of AI demand as almost unlimited, with energy availability “the only real limiter”.

Most Americans now say the public should own half of the big AI companies

Nearly seven in ten Americans support forcing AI companies to transfer half their stock to a public sovereign wealth fund, CNBC reports.

Cure cancer, cage the chatbots: Congress’s contradictory week on AI

In the space of about ten days, US lawmakers introduced a small mountain of artificial-intelligence legislation. The bills, rounded up by Nextgov/FCW, pull in two opposite directions at once. One set treats AI as a tool the government should be deploying faster. The other treats it as a hazard that needs fencing in. Both instincts are […]
