wired.com Reece Rogers 2026-02-08 05:06:17

A spokesperson using ICE's general press email referred WIRED to a statement issued by acting director Todd M. Lyons on June 30, but did not provide further comment. The White House did not immediately respond to WIRED’s request for comment. In the statement, Lyons called CNN’s coverage of the app “reckless and irresponsible.” When reached for comment, Emily Kuhn, senior vice president of communications at CNN, pointed WIRED to a statement from the network saying that reporting on the existence

In Brief The semiconductor industry could see a big tax benefit if the Trump administration is able to pass the current version of its spending bill.

Senate removes ban on state AI regulations from Trump's tax bill

zdnet.com Radhika Rajkumar 2026-02-14 00:29:00

Jarmo Piironen/Getty Images Until now, the Trump administration's tax bill -- also called its "big, beautiful bill," which passed in the Senate on Tuesday -- included a rule that would prevent states from enforcing their own AI legislation for five years, and would withhold up to $500 million in funding for AI infrastructure if states don't comply. On Tuesday, a day into a "vote-o-rama" that began Monday in an effort to pass Trump's tax bill before the July 4 holiday, the Senate voted 99 to on

zdnet.com Radhika Rajkumar 2026-02-18 04:15:56

ANDREY DENISYUK/Getty The Trump administration's tax bill -- also called its "big, beautiful bill" -- which rounds up key pieces of the president's agenda, also includes a rule that would prevent states from enforcing their own AI legislation for 10 years, if passed. After an initial budget hiccup, Republican senators successfully amended the rule to comply with budgetary requirements by adding that states trying to enforce AI regulations would not receive federal broadband funding.

NASA Is in Full Meltdown

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-19 06:08:58

Career NASA officials were seen looking mighty freaked out during a recent town hall event about the agency's dicey future. As Ars Technica's Stephen Clark reports based on a livestream of the town hall — which was not advertised and has since been taken down — acting NASA administrator and career agency official Janet Petro looked like a hostage as she answered questions from staff about the agency's dire standing under president Donald Trump. The hostage-taker in this scenario appears to be

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2026-02-22 05:35:49

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has spent the last six months in turmoil, with the Trump administration drastically reducing the agency’s nationwide workforce. To make matters worse, the federal government is now demanding money from some former employees. Three ex-NOAA staffers who were fired, rehired, then fired again this spring received notices from the federal government stating they owed a debt for healthcare coverage.

The Debrief: Power and energy

technologyreview.com Mat Honan 2026-02-26 04:00:00

Yet in many ways right now the US seems to be forgetting those lessons. It is moving backward in terms of its clean-­energy strategy, especially when it comes to powering the grid, in ways that will affect the nation for decades to come—even as China and others are surging forward. And that retreat is taking place just as electricity demand and usage are growing again after being flat for nearly two decades. That growth, according to the US Energy Information Administration, is “coming from the

Trump EPA May Undo Ban on Cancer-Causing Asbestos

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2026-03-06 10:50:07

In 2024, the Biden administration issued a ban on the last type of asbestos still used in the United States due to its links to cancer. The Trump administration isn’t so sure that we need to protect people from such things. Earlier this week, the New York Times reported that Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency will delay the ban on the material and reconsider the rule entirely. Because, hey, when has a little cancer ever hurt anyone? The material at the core of this back-and-forth policymak

6 Tools for Tracking the Trump Administration’s Attacks on Civil Liberties

In just a few months, Donald Trump’s second presidential term has drastically reshaped the United States federal government and moved to consolidate the power of the executive branch. At the behest of the president, numerous federal agencies have undertaken aggressive, invasive initiatives to crack down on immigration, police speech, investigate political opponents, curtail US public health efforts and emergency preparedness, and more.

Taiwan places export controls on Huawei and SMIC

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2026-03-15 16:14:24

In Brief Chinese companies Huawei and SMIC may have a difficult time accessing resources needed to build AI chips, due to Taiwanese export controls. Bloomberg reports that Taiwan’s International Trade Administration placed the two companies and their subsidiaries on an updated list of entities designated as strategic high-tech commodities. That means Taiwanese businesses will need government approval before they can ship anything to either company. As a result, Huawei and SMIC will lose acces

Nvidia to exclude China from its revenue and profit forecasts

techcrunch.com Rebecca Szkutak 2026-03-17 02:34:03

In Brief Nvidia doesn’t think the U.S. will backpedal its chip export restrictions to China anytime soon. The chipmaker is so convinced of that fact that it’s not going to include the Chinese market in its revenue and profit forecasts, CEO Jensen Huang told CNN on Thursday. Huang said he’s not counting on the Trump administration reversing its chip export controls and that it would be a nice “bonus” if they did. The Trump administration introduced licensing requirements for Nvidia’s H20 chip

The big picture: In a sudden policy shift, the Trump administration has thrown a wrench into the nation's largest broadband expansion effort, forcing states to overhaul plans to distribute $42 billion in federal funding aimed at closing the digital divide. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick has put the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program on pause, unveiling sweeping new rules last week that require states to rethink how they allocate grants to Internet service providers.

“Two years of work in two months”: States cope with Trump broadband overhaul

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-19 01:43:46

The Trump administration has upended plans that state governments made to distribute $42 billion in federal broadband funding, forcing state officials to scrap much of the preparation work they did over the previous couple of years. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick essentially put the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program on hold earlier this year and last week announced details of a rules overhaul that requires states to change how they distribute money to Internet servic

Scientists built a badminton-playing robot with AI-powered skills

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-19 21:15:20

Robots like Atlas, Spot, and Stretch have amazed people with natural, life-like agility and body balance. What they were lacking, though, was a way to quickly connect this natural movement to perception—the robotic equivalent of the reflexes that let you catch a ball or duck in an instant to avoid getting hit. So, a team of scientists at ETH Zürich got busy fixing this problem. “I wanted to fuse perception and body movement,” said Yuntao Ma, a roboticist who led a team developing an AI-powered,

DOGE Sparks Surveillance Fear Across the US Government

This month, Andrew Bernier, a US Army Corps of Engineers researcher and a union leader, says that he has received a barrage of menacing messages from the same anonymous email account. Unfolding like short chapters in a dystopian novel, they have spoken of the genius of Elon Musk, referenced the power of the billionaire’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and foretold the downfall of “corrupt” union bosses. But the most eerie thing about the emails, which Bernier says began a
