Upcoming Trump–Xi Summit Is Really An AI Summit
Authored by James Gorrie via The Epoch Times,
When President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet at the White House on Sept. 24, the public agenda will be much larger than artificial intelligence (AI). Trade, semiconductors, rare earths, Taiwan, and other disputes will all be on the table.
But AI is different.
Trade agreements can be renegotiated. Tariffs can be raised or lowered. Semiconductor restrictions can be changed.
AI is becoming a general-purpose technology that can transform military power, manufacturing, cyberwarfare, scientific research, and the global economy simultaneously.
That makes the Trump-Xi meeting, in a very important sense, an AI summit.
China Is Much Closer Than Many Americans Think
The old assumptions about China's subordinate position in AI were simple: America had the technology, and China was trying to catch up.
That assumption is dangerously outdated.
Stanford's 2026 AI Index found that U.S. and Chines...

Newsom Whips Out Wiener's Dystopian "AI Kill Switch" Bill He Vetoed In 2024
Gavin Newsom spent Friday morning getting in on the scramble to control AI. Executive Order N-9-26 "advances the creation of an AI kill switch" and tells California to hustle on third-party oversight of frontier labs. All he had to do was dust off Scott Wiener's kill switch bill he vetoed two years ago after the industry pushed back.
SB 1047, Wiener's 2024 bill, would have made large-model shops test for catastrophic harm, keep a shutdown capability for systems they still controlled, and sit through annual outside audits. Newsom called it well-intentioned and too blunt. Yet a model size threshold, he said, would miss smaller models and kneecap the companies that live in California. OpenAI, Google, and Meta had been saying the same thing into every open microphone in Sacramento.
What he signed instead, in 2025, was SB 53: safety frameworks on the website, transparency reports at launch, whistleb...

WW3 Near-Miss? AI Hallucinated Nuclear Weapons Components Aboard Chinese Vessel Bound For Iran (ZeroHedge)

WW3 Near-Miss? AI Hallucinated Nuclear Weapons Components Aboard Chinese Vessel Bound For Iran
Could runaway artificial intelligence (AI) spark a future WW3?
We don't need movies like Terminator 2 and its SkyNet to help us imagine this, it's 2026 and there is already a terrifying real-world precedent that could have kicked off a shooting war with nuclear-armed China.
A human analyst within the US intelligence community utilized data gathered by AI for a report that was later widely circulated across classified Pentagon channels, except that the chatbot which was relied upon in effect hallucinated nuclear weapons components being transported aboard a Chinese vessel bound for Iran.
Illustrative: US 7th Fleet file image, Recon Marines conduct exercises
Naturally this set off the highest alerts in Washington in the middle of an active hot war which President Trump launched ostensibly to prevent this very thing - Iran obtaining a nuke and atomic weapons components.
From there military planning k...

No Benefits: Why Most Americans Hate The Idea Of AI Data Centers
Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us
In recent months I've been asked by numerous readers to give my take on the AI data center issue and the debate it has ignited across the US. In response, I've jumped into a steep learning curve, but it seems to parallel information I've covered in previous articles on AI.
From what I can tell, both political parties are split on the data center debate. There are Democrats and Republicans on both sides of the divide, though their reasons for opposing or supporting the centers are not necessarily the same.
It's clear that the Trump Administration has given its seal of approval on the concept and this has spurred many on the left to mindlessly attack it by default. Some conservatives support the centers simply because leftists complain about them. It's important to move past the partisanship on this issue to get to the facts. According to polls, around 70% of Americans oppose new dat...

Shocker: AI-Exposed College Majors Linked To Weaker Employment And Pay, Study Finds
Authored by Bill Pan via The Epoch Times,
The rise of artificial intelligence coincides with a sharp deterioration in initial earnings and employment for graduates of the college majors most exposed to the technology, according to a new study.

Since the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, graduates in the 10 percent of majors most exposed to AI saw their likelihood of finding a job shortly after graduation fall by 5 percentage points, according to a working paper published by the U.S. Census Bureau's Center for Economic Studies on Sept. 10.
Their initial quarterly earnings also fell by about 13 percent relative to graduates in fields less exposed to AI, according to the findings.
"This earnings decline is comparable in magnitude to the earnings losses associated with g...

Power grids can′t keep pace with AI data center boom in EU, US (Digitimes)
|
|
|
According to supply chain players, most AI data center cost models used by analysts in both China and the West only count electricity consumption when estimating the cost of AI data centers or tokens, but do not take into account the cost of power generation, transmission, or grid infrastructure. As a result, actual AI data center build-out costs vary greatly by country and region, due to the vast differences in power mix, grid capacity, and energy policies....
