The United States is confronting a growing clash over how to regulate artificial intelligence, drawing parallels to the hands‑off approach of the early Internet era. While some lawmakers pushed the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to give the FCC oversight, modern efforts focus on preventing an AI arms race with China and addressing concerns about bias, misinformation, and job security. The White House has issued an executive order to block state‑level AI rules, arguing that fragmented regulation would hinder national competitiveness. Meanwhile, the EU has moved faster on user‑data protections, highlighting divergent global strategies. Leia mais →

The White House's inaugural "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) report has come under fire for including citations to studies that do not exist. Critics say the error highlights a broader problem with large‑language‑model generated content, which can produce plausible but false references. The administration acknowledged the issue as a "minor citation error" after journalists highlighted the discrepancies. The report also urges the Department of Health and Human Services to expand AI research for diagnostics and personalized care, raising concerns about the reliance on AI systems prone to hallucinations. The incident underscores the tension between rapid AI adoption in health policy and the need for rigorous verification. Leia mais →

Organizers of the No Kings protests, led by the group Indivisible, reported that more than seven million people participated in roughly 2,700 events spanning all 50 states. The turnout surpasses the roughly five million protesters at 2,000 events earlier in the year. Major cities such as the Twin Cities, New York City and Chicago saw individual crowds exceeding 100,000, with Chicago estimated at 250,000 amid an immigration crackdown. The White House responded on social media with AI‑generated images that depicted President Donald Trump in a crown and a vulgar fighter‑jet scene. Leia mais →

President Donald Trump briefly shared on Truth Social a video that appeared to be a Fox News segment featuring Lara Trump announcing a supposed MedBed hospital and national MedBed card system—both of which do not exist. The clip was later removed. Fox News confirmed the segment never aired, and observers noted the video was fully AI‑generated, including Trump’s dialogue in the Oval Office. MedBeds are an imagined medical device touted by conspiracy circles as a cure‑all. While some followers recognized the AI origin, many still interpreted the post as confirmation of the device’s reality. The White House is likely to downplay the incident. Leia mais →

The White House convened leading technology CEOs for an AI education summit, where companies pledged substantial resources to prepare Americans for an AI-driven future. Google, Microsoft and Amazon announced major funding and training initiatives, while Meta, Apple and OpenAI were also on the invite list.

White House officials have expressed frustration with Anthropic’s policy that bars the use of its Claude models for domestic surveillance. The restriction is creating roadblocks for federal contractors working with agencies such as the FBI and Secret Service. Anthropic’s models are among the few AI systems cleared for top‑secret environments through Amazon Web Services’ GovCloud, and the company has a nominal‑fee agreement to provide services to federal customers. The dispute comes as the government also signs a blanket agreement with OpenAI, Google and Anthropic to supply AI tools to federal workers. Leia mais →

The White House directed the General Services Administration to add Elon Musk’s xAI chatbot Grok to the list of approved federal vendors, urging a rapid rollout. An internal email from GSA commissioner Josh Gruenbaum instructed contractor Carahsoft to confirm the addition, referencing Grok‑3 and Grok‑4 now listed on the GSA Advantage marketplace. The move follows a collapsed partnership earlier this year after Grok generated antisemitic content on X. Federal agencies are now cleared to deploy the chatbot despite earlier removal from the Multiple Award Schedule and a lack of comment from officials. Leia mais →
