ABC Lawsuit Prompts First Amendment Showdown with FCC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For more than fifty years, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) never ordered a broadcaster to apply for a license renewal early. This past April, it ordered all eight ABC-owned and -operated stations to do so, the day after President Trump demanded that ABC fire Jimmy Kimmel. The order escalated a long-running feud between the broadcaster and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, one that Justice Neil Gorsuch cited as an example of agency power run amok, and follows years of presidential demands th
Court Decision Shines Light on AI-Generated Child Pornography (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The government cannot prosecute possession of obscene AI-generated child pornography. This was the conclusion of a reluctant Seventh Circuit last week in a case that tested the Justice Department’s authority in an AI world.

This moment of creative destruction poses both challenges and opportunities for administrators like me and the students we serve. Generative AI can help struggl
The Water Fight over Data Centers Is a Distraction. The Grid Fight Is the Real Story. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Meta recently announced it would expand Project Hyperion, its data center under construction in Richland Parish, Louisiana, into a 5-gigawatt, $50 billion facility that will be one of the largest AI campuses in the world. The announcement landed amid an increasingly organized, bipartisan movement to block future data center construction. By one estimate, opponents blocked or delayed 75 projects representing $130 billion in investment in the first quarter of 2026 alone, citing water and electrici
