    ABC Lawsuit Prompts First Amendment Showdown with FCC (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    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)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    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. Although shocking, the result was predictable, as the judges’ hands were tied by decades-old Supreme Court precedents.

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Generative AI is bringing Schumpeterian disruption to the stodgy world of higher education. As in other areas of the economy, the AI revolution is changing the university landscape. It is exposing long-standing flaws in the institution, perhaps most fundamentally its overreliance on exams, term papers, and grades as proxies for learning. 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)

    Excerpt · English

    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.
