The Federalism Battle Over AI: How Trump’s Executive Order Could Reshape Tech Regulation
The Trump administration’s new executive order on artificial intelligence is more than a deregulatory maneuver—it is the opening shot in a high‑stakes federalism fight that will determine who sets the rules for one of the most consequential technologies of the century. By moving aggressively to preempt state AI laws, threaten litigation, and condition billions in…

The April Gambit: Why Trump’s Beijing Visit Could Decide Whether AI Becomes a Weapon or a Tool
Trump’s planned April 2026 visit to Beijing is not just another high‑stakes summit between the world’s two most powerful leaders. It is emerging as a turning point that will help determine whether artificial intelligence (AI) becomes primarily a weapon of strategic competition or a tool embedded in shared safety norms and crisis protocols. For all…

The $262 Million Security Theater: How MFA Failures and Three‑Year‑Old Passwords Fueled a Global Infostealer Breach
A single criminal campaign has exposed a structural weakness at the heart of modern enterprise security: organizations are spending heavily on advanced tools while still allowing three‑year‑old stolen passwords to unlock terabytes of their most sensitive data. Over roughly a year, a threat actor known as Zestix (aka Sentap) quietly breached about 50 global enterprises…

Federalism on Trial: How Trump’s AI Crackdown Pits States’ Rights Against Tech Innovation
The 2026 fight over artificial intelligence in the United States is rapidly becoming a defining test of American federalism, pitting a deregulatory White House against states that have moved aggressively to police algorithmic harms. At the center of the clash is a new AI Litigation Task Force inside the Department of Justice, which begins operations…

Racing Against the AI Clock: How the Pentagon Is Automating Its Cybersecurity Fortress
The Pentagon is racing to secure an AI‑enabled military at the same speed that new AI threats emerge. To break out of a human‑limited, episodic testing model, the Department of Defense (DOD) is moving from traditional red‑team exercises to autonomous purple‑team operations—AI systems that continuously attack, defend, and validate the security of battlefield and enterprise…

X turns Grok’s abusive deepfakes into a “premium” feature – and forces a global reckoning over AI accountability
X’s decision to restrict Grok’s image editing to paying users is less a safety fix than a flashpoint in a growing global backlash against AI-fuelled image-based abuse. Regulators and governments across multiple continents are now testing how far they can go to hold a Musk-owned platform to account and, in the process, expose deep gaps…

Damn Vulnerable AI Bank (DVAIB): Inside the New Training Ground for AI Security in Finance
Damn Vulnerable AI Bank (DVAIB) is an intentionally insecure AI-powered banking environment designed as a hands‑on lab for attacking and defending AI systems in financial scenarios. It gives security teams, red‑teamers, and developers a realistic sandbox to practice prompt injection, AI supply‑chain attacks, data poisoning, and broader AI‑driven fraud techniques—before those attacks hit real banks.…

The Great AI PC Collapse: Why Dell’s Honesty Exposed the Gap Between Hype and Reality
Dell’s public retreat from “AI PC” marketing at CES 2026 marks a rare moment of honesty in an industry that has spent two years insisting artificial intelligence would single‑handedly restart the PC upgrade cycle. Instead, one of the sector’s most important players is now acknowledging what consumers have quietly signaled all along: people are not…

The Drone Arithmetic of Attrition: How Ukraine Turned Unmanned Warfare Against Russia’s Manpower Advantage
Ukraine’s top military commander says December 2025 marked an inflection point in the war: Ukraine’s drones killed or seriously wounded roughly as many Russian soldiers as Russia managed to mobilize into the fight that month. In a conflict already defined by unmanned systems, this milestone crystallizes a new reality — the frontline arithmetic of attrition…

Inside DeepSeek’s Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections: How a Doubly Stochastic Trick Could Rewire LLM Scaling
DeepSeek’s new paper on Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections (mHC) proposes a mathematically disciplined way to stabilize and scale large language models by redesigning how residual pathways carry information through very deep networks. Instead of throwing more compute at bigger models, it attacks a core architectural weakness that has quietly limited how far standard and hyper-connected networks can…

The Only Trait Machines Can’t Steal: Po‑Shen Loh’s Radical Blueprint for Education in the Age of AI
Modern education is quietly training students for a world that no longer exists. In classrooms across the globe, young people are learning to compete with machines on the one dimension machines are rapidly mastering: the ability to reproduce known answers quickly and flawlessly. Homework is graded for correctness, tests reward memorization under time pressure, and…
