Trump unveils aggressive AI plan focused on deregulation, dismisses copyright payments for AI training

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-12-29 12:25:00

What just happened? President Donald Trump has taken a firm stance on one of the most contentious questions in artificial intelligence: whether companies developing AI should be required to pay for the copyrighted content used to train their systems. Speaking at an AI Summit in Washington, Trump dismissed the idea as unworkable. He argued that requiring AI firms to compensate for every book, article, or piece of media used in training their models would stifle innovation and risk leaving the Uni

Trump’s AI Action Plan is a distraction

technologyreview.com Asad Ramzanali 2025-12-28 12:15:00

Today’s generative AI is based on the transformer model (the T in ChatGPT), first described by a team at Google in 2017. Six of the eight researchers on that team were born outside the US, and the other two are children of immigrants. This isn’t an exception. Immigrants have been central to American leadership in AI. Of the 42 American companies included in the 2025 Forbes ranking of the 50 top AI startups, 60% have at least one immigrant cofounder, according to an analysis by the Institute for

Six Principles for Production AI Agents

Every now and then, people ask me: “I am new to agentic development, I’m building something, but I feel like I'm missing some tribal knowledge. Help me catch up!”. I’m tempted to suggest some serious stuff like multiweek courses (e.g. by HuggingFace or Berkeley), but not everyone is interested in that level of diving.

Trump’s Anti-Bias AI Order Is Just More Bias

wired.com Steven Levy 2025-12-29 17:00:00

On November 2, 2022, I attended a Google AI event in New York City. One of the themes was responsible AI. As I listened to executives talk about how they aligned their technology with human values, I realized that the malleability of AI models was a double-edged sword. Models could be tweaked to, say, minimize biases, but also to enforce a specific point of view. Governments could demand manipulation to censor unwelcome facts and promote propaganda. I envisioned this as something that an authori
