What happens when the world’s most powerful technology is steered by a race to be first—rather than a plan to be safe? At the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, one of the field’s most influential voices, Stuart Russell of UC Berkeley, delivered a blunt message: the current artificial intelligence “arms race” among tech giants…
What happens when a nation’s AI strategy does a 180 overnight? In January 2025, the United States saw exactly that. After a year of sprinting toward stricter AI oversight, the federal government abruptly pivoted toward deregulation, industry-led standards, and a very different posture on synthetic content. Whether you build AI, buy AI, or simply worry…
If you had any doubt that artificial intelligence is now a geopolitical arena, the latest move from Washington should put it to rest. A high-level US delegation has arrived at the India AI Summit in New Delhi with a strategy many describe as unapologetically focused on “domination” of global AI standards, governance, and market leadership….
If your company adopted AI last year, you didn’t just add a tool—you added a new attack surface with its own identities, plugins, data supply chains, and a mind for automation.

But their case is more nuanced than hype: they argue that if we define “general…
What if a single month could tilt the global AI trajectory—for years? February 2026 is that kind of month. Behind the headlines, three fast-moving decisions are converging: a constitutional fight over AI regulation in the U.S., a breaking point in data-center power and sustainability, and a pivotal moment for how “agentic AI” reshapes jobs. Each…
If you care about AI—whether you build it, buy it, regulate it, or simply worry about its impact—circle February 2026 on your calendar. It’s shaping up to be a regulatory knife’s edge in the United States. On one side: state laws like California’s push for AI transparency and Texas’s governance-focused rules. On the other: a…
If the last decade was “move fast and break things,” the next one is “move smart and prove things.” Governments from Washington to Brussels to Beijing have decided that artificial intelligence isn’t just a tech story anymore.
