Judge dismisses Chegg and Penske antitrust lawsuits targeting Google AI search

Publisher preview

The court acknowledges AI search comes with consequences, but it’s not an antitrust issue. In a setback for publishers worried about the effects of AI search, a US federal judge has dismissed lawsuits filed by Chegg and Penske Media against Google. The companies accused Google of antitrust violations in products like AI overviews, which have led to decreasing traffic at numerous sites. However, US District Judge Amit Mehta has ruled that Google’s conduct is not illegal under antitrust law. The lawsuits were filed in 2025, and Google requested a dismissal…

Why Procurement Is Becoming AI’s Most Powerful Regulatory Tool

Publisher preview

For all the attention being paid to AI legislation, some of the most consequential rules governing the technology may end up coming from a truly unexpected place: procurement departments. Like many regulatory beginnings in the United States, California offers an early example: the state has built specific requirements for buying products and services that use generative AI. State entities must assess the risk associated with GenAI purchases, with moderate- and high-risk uses receiving additional scrutiny from the California Department of Technology (CDT). Solicitations require GenAI disclosure language, and vendors may…

Trump’s AI chatbot turns on its master

Publisher preview

The famously fact-averse president rolled out a new AI tool – but its answers don’t conform to his version of reality Donald Trump, in a development that could almost be from a Greek tragedy, appears to have invented something that is willing to do what no one in his orbit will: tell him the truth. The president launched America.gov on Tuesday, an AI platform which the White House says will make it easier for Americans to interact with the federal government and eventually complete services like renewing passports and enrolling…

Senate Democrats block datacenter energy bill, saying ‘toothless’ legislation ‘misses the mark’

Publisher preview

Republicans supported legislation although Democrats said it wouldnât effectively address energy consumption Senate Democrats on Wednesday blocked legislation intended to offset the impact of datacenters on consumer electricity bills, calling it a âtoothlessâ attempt to address a top voter concern ahead of Novemberâs midterm elections. The Ratepayer Protection Act failed by a 57-to-43 vote, falling just shy of the 60 votes necessary to advance through the Republican-controlled chamber. Four Democrats â Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and both Georgia senators, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock â…

Rapidly expanding AI use within the government is numbing departments to its profound threats. And try arguing with a faceless digital bureaucrat Another day, another apocalyptic warning about the likelihood that rampantly uncontrollable artificial intelligence will solve all of our problems, including the problem of being alive.

Trump orders US government to call AI ‘Super Intelligence’

Publisher preview

The US executive branch is no longer acknowledging the existence of “artificial intelligence.” Going forward, official policy websites, policy documents, and press releases will refer only to “Super Intelligence,” thanks to a new executive order signed by President Donald Trump. “The word super is the best word of all, and it’s the simplest,” Trump said at an event announcing the launch of America.gov earlier on Tuesday, and said Chinese President Xi Jinping, who visited the White House last week, “loves it” too. “We don’t want to hear artificial.

Here's what actually happened in OpenAI's Australian gov't server hack

Publisher preview

Without a “full set of safeguards,” agent accessed “system information and source code.” Last week, when Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told the world that an OpenAI agent had accessed “non-public files” from his country’s Medicare statistics portal during testing, his description of the incident was a little light on details. Today, we’re getting new information on just how far OpenAI’s overzealous agent went in attempting to satisfy a rather innocuous-sounding informational prompt. In a newly published blog post, OpenAI says the June incident started when the company asked “an…

Can a chatbot fix the government maze? The White House is about to find out

Publisher preview

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the White House is launching America.gov, an AI chatbot intended to help people find government services and other information. Google confirmed that it is a partner on this launch and that its AI model, Gemini, is involved, but it’s unclear if other AI companies also contributed. “Instead of forcing citizens to search through the endless maze of tens of thousands of government websites and rules… you’ll now have one front door for every single question,” Trump said in a post on X.
