Trump AI Framework Seeks Federal Control While Shifting Child Safety Burden to Parents

The Trump administration released a legislative framework for AI regulation that would centralize power in Washington by preempting state AI laws. The plan prioritizes innovation over strict oversight, places significant responsibility on parents for child safety, and avoids creating new federal regulatory bodies. Critics argue it provides inadequate safeguards while limiting states' ability to act as early regulators of emerging risks.

Data Centers Hit Power Grid Limits as Tech Giants Turn to Off-Grid Natural Gas Solutions

U.S. data center development is slowing as power grid capacity reaches its limits, forcing tech companies to adopt alternative power solutions. By the end of 2025, 39% of gas power capacity in development was designed to serve data centers on-site, up from just 5% in 2024. The shift highlights growing tensions between AI's massive energy requirements and aging electrical infrastructure.
