  1. "Brazil’s executive branch has already launched a sweeping AI action plan, and lawmakers are expected to pass a regulatory framework in the coming weeks. Still, Brazil’s approach to AI policy has caused some pushback at home, and not only from tech companies fearing red tape.

    Ronaldo Lemos, the founder of the Institute for Technology and Society of Rio de Janeiro and one of the authors of Brazil’s 2014 internet bill of rights, told Foreign Policy that Brazil’s draft AI legal framework leans so heavily into regulation that the country stands to miss out on economic benefits.

    Brazilian officials, for their part, have argued that their proposed AI policies strike a balance between innovation and safeguarding against potential harm.

    If enacted in its current form, Lemos said, the AI action plan “would cause significant stagnation in the artificial intelligence innovation sector.” He noted that the legislation does little to address the need for large-scale education and workforce retraining. Though the plan mentions retraining, Lemos said it is an area where Brazil can learn from India."

  2. "The abrupt change in export-controls policy hints at a shift in the administration’s theory of China competition. In March 2025, when the administration solicited public input on its forthcoming AI strategy, no major tech company dared to suggest that China gain access to leading American AI hardware. Political consensus was such that national security concerns took unimpeachable priority over selling key technology to rivals. The terrain on which that consensus rested is now breaking down.

    Two recent developments are driving the shift. First, American tech business elites, having reached the profitability limits of hardware controls, are looking outside US borders. And within China, the Biden-era GPU restrictions are at least as likely to have spurred Chinese innovation as to have contained it.

    If the US once sought to safeguard its comparative advantage of deep learning GPUs, it is now exploiting that advantage to facilitate grander imperial ambitions. The Trump administration’s reconfigured priority is to export the “American AI technology stack”—chips, data storage, foundation models—around the world. To navigate national antagonisms on the bleeding edge of technology, the US is reproducing what John A. Hobson, writing at the turn of the 20th century, saw in the conquests of old empire: a “political policy and practice,” brokered by the “industrial and financial chiefs,” to relieve “the pressure of capital for external fields of investment.”"

  5. #FDA employees say the agency's #Elsa #GenerativeAI #hallucinates entire studies

    by Anna Washenko, July 24, 2025

    Excerpt: "The CNN investigation highlighting these flaws with the FDA's #ArtificialIntelligence arrived on the same day as the White House introduced an #AIActionPlan. The program presented AI development as a technological arms race that the US should win at all costs, and it laid out plans to remove 'red tape and onerous regulation' in the sector. It also demanded that AI be free of 'ideological bias,' or in other words, only following the biases of the current administration by removing mentions of #ClimateChange, #misinformation, and diversity, equity and inclusion [#DEI] efforts. Considering each of those three topics has a documented impact on #PublicHealth, the ability of tools like #Elsa to provide genuine benefits to both the FDA and to US patients looks increasingly doubtful."

  6. President Trump’s War on “Woke AI” Is a #CivilLiberties Nightmare

    A new executive order called “Preventing #WokeAI in the Federal Government,” released alongside the #AIActionPlan , seeks to strong-arm #AI companies into modifying their models to conform with the #Trump Administration’s #ideological agenda.

  7. "The White House’s recently-unveiled “AI Action Plan” wages war on so-called “woke AI”—including large language models (LLMs) that provide information inconsistent with the administration’s views on climate change, gender, and other issues. It also targets measures designed to mitigate the generation of racial and gender biased content and even hate speech. The reproduction of this bias is a pernicious problem that AI developers have struggled to solve for over a decade.

    A new executive order called “Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government,” released alongside the AI Action Plan, seeks to strong-arm AI companies into modifying their models to conform with the Trump Administration’s ideological agenda.

    The executive order requires AI companies that receive federal contracts to prove that their LLMs are free from purported “ideological biases” like “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” This heavy-handed censorship will not make models more accurate or “trustworthy,” as the Trump Administration claims, but is a blatant attempt to censor the development of LLMs and restrict them as a tool of expression and information access."

  8. The #US #AIActionPlan prioritises #opensource and #openweight #AI to compete with #China’s growing influence in the field. China’s open-source models, like #DeepSeek #R1, have gained widespread adoption, including in the US. The US, once a leader in open-source AI, is now at risk of falling behind if it doesn’t prioritise #openness and #collaboration. venturebeat.com/ai/why-open-so #tech #media #news

  10. Talk is cheap. Details in the execution will be the testing ground.

    Trump Admin's AI action plan claims to support the notion that AI should be founded with freedom of speech and expression in mind, but then says things like "AI procured by the Federal government objectively reflects truth rather than social engineering agendas.” Who defines "truth"?

    In a companion EO the administration details it's true intentions by listing potential violations for AI models related to "ideological agendas" in areas such as diversity, calling out racial bias, or valuing gender equality.

    It appears that the administration's desire to prohibit top-down ideological bias in AI systems - is in fact a concrete example of pushing top-down ideological biases. wired.com/story/trump-ai-order #AI #AIactionplan #USGov #AISupremacy #LLMs #FreeSpeech #neutrality

  11. Weekly output: Chrome for iOS/iPadOS, Google AI Overview clickthroughs, Trump “AI Action Plan,” Cricket Wireless

    My schedule this week includes Nationals Park–not to see the home team find a new way to lose a game, but to attend a two-day conference about drone policy happening there that will feature a few drone-delivery demos.

    Speaking of poor decisions in D.C., I wrote a post Friday for Patreon readers about the home clean-energy upgrades that I can’t push through before the early demise of the Inflation Reduction Act’s tax credits at the hands of Republicans in Congress.

    7/21/2025: Google Adds Limited Multiple-Account Support to Chrome for iOS, iPadOS, PCMag

    This is not a huge change to the experience of using Google’s browser on Apple’s mobile devices, but I used this post as an opportunity to point out how the major browsers all fail to offer a mobile equivalent to their desktop apps’ abilities to keep a browsing session isolated from the rest of your use over browser restarts.

    7/23/2025: Few People Are Clicking Past Google’s ‘AI Overviews’ Search Results, PCMag

    Google keeps denying that it’s seen any major dropoff in how often people follow links to sites in its AI Overview results even as news and other sites report that they’ve seen Google traffic plummet. I do not find those denials as persuasive as Google might hope.

    7/24/2025: Trump’s ‘AI Action Plan’ Looks to Boost Data Center Buildouts, Ban ‘Woke’ AI, PCMag

    I spent a chunk of Wednesday afternoon reading up on this plan, then spent a chunk of that evening watching Trump’s rambling, 50-minute speech that often wandered into completely unrelated topics. As a result, dinner was a little late Wednesday.

    7/26/2025: Cricket Wireless Unwraps New Plans That Lower the Cost Of Mobile Hotspot Use, PCMag

    I knew Cricket had stuck with its older plan lineup for a long time, but I didn’t realize the last comprehensive rewrite happened in 2017.

  12. "Alright, I’ve officially spent too much time reading Trump’s 28-page AI Action Plan, his three new AI executive orders, listening to his speech on the subject, and reading coverage of the event. I’ll put it bluntly: The vibes are bad. Worse than I expected, somehow.

    Broadly speaking, the plan is that the Trump administration will help Silicon Valley put the pedal down on AI, delivering customers, data centers and power, as long as it operates in accordance with Trump’s ideological frameworks; i.e., as long as the AI is anti-woke.

    More specifically, the plan aims to further deregulate the tech industry, penalize US states that pass AI laws, speed adoption of AI in the federal government and beyond, fast-track data center development, fast-track nuclear and fossil fuel power to run them, move to limit China’s influence in AI, and restrict speech in AI and the frameworks governing them by making terms like diversity, inclusion, misinformation, and climate change forbidden. There’s also a section on American workers that’s presented as protecting them from AI, but in reality seeks to give employers more power over them. It all portends a much darker future than I thought we’d see in this thing."

  16. Leaders in the generative AI world are daring to say the unsayable: that copyright is not sacrosanct

    For the last hundred years or so, the prevailing dogma has been that copyright is an unalloyed good, and that more of it is better. Whether that was ever true is one question, but it is certainly not the case since we entered the digital era, for reasons explained at length in Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available). Despite that fact, recent attempts to halt the constant […]

  17. With plans to boost compute power twenty-fold and partnerships with tech leaders like Vantage Data Centres and Kyndryl, the UK is positioning itself as a global AI powerhouse.

    It will be interesting to see how this will impact the Physical Sciences research community and our work.

  19. @MonniauxD I too remember the days when you used to rent some space in a rack and shoved your own machine(s) into it, but these are not that sort of data centre. They are data centres owned and operated by a single corporation, containing only (almost certainly identical) machines all belonging to that same corporation and running the exact same software.

    This isn't even like AWS or Linode where you rent space on a server and run your own code.

  20. "Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT's parent company OpenAI, has pitched plans for 5GW data centres in the US, which is the equivalent of about five nuclear reactors' worth and enough energy to power a large city. These voracious demands for electricity come with immediate consequences for national grids and for climate emissions"

  21. "Beneath all the policy gloss and think tank reports, though, lurk the real harms of #AI in the here-and-now, starting with environmental harms. The Labour government's vision for AI takes concrete form in the shape of more data centres"

  22. "The breathless rhetoric is accompanied by policy demands; a factor of ten increase in the UK's compute capacity, the diversion of major spending commitments to #AI infrastructure, reducing regulation to US levels and, of course, enacting all this in close relationship with the private sector."

  23. "Ultimately... the misstep represented by The #AIActionPlan and its total commitment to #AI will reinforce and amplify the threat of the far right, as well as connecting it to the extremely reactionary ideas that are in the ascendency in Silicon Valley"

    computerweekly.com/opinion/Lab

  24. "While recommending a high-tech form of land enclosures via '#AI Growth Zones' (AIGZs), which are about handing data centre developers "access to land and power", it gestures towards the idea that these could drive local innovation in post-industrial towns"

    This is certainly absolutely delusional. The whole point of the Internet is that there is NO geographical linkage between the location of the servers and the high value jobs.

  25. Data centres employ remarkably few people per unit investment. They're basically big warehouses full of server racks; they need one on duty tech person and maybe a security guard. #Starmer's assertion that they will create employment is certainly a lie, but whether it's a lie he's telling or a lie he is passing on unexamined is harder to be sure of.

    So this is handing over UK money, land, and generating capacity to foreign capital for essentially nothing in return.
