The U.S. Justice Department is moving to centralize control over artificial intelligence regulation, setting up a new task force aimed at dismantling state-level AI laws it views as obstacles to innovation. According to an internal memo reviewed by CBS News, the department has announced the creation of an Artificial Intelligence Litigation Task Force that will actively challenge state regulations restricting AI development. The memo, sent to Justice Department employees and authored by Attorney General Pam Bondi, cites President Trump’s recent executive order targeting what it describes as “excessive” state regulation of artificial intelligence. The order argues that a fragmented system…

LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman says generative AI is tapping into a powerful and healthy human drive: the joy of creating something new. In a new interview with Dan Shipper, Hoffman says tools like Claude Code and other generative AI systems are giving people a new kind of tech addiction, one starkly different from the passive consumption of brain-rotting content. Hoffman says AI lowers the barrier between idea and execution, triggering a creative realization many users experience for the first time. “Like the dopamine hit is you succeed at creating… It suddenly goes, ‘Oh my God, I can create something interesting.’…
The CEO of the Browser Company says AI-powered coding tools are already reshaping how teams work, experiment, and even how companies think about hiring. In a new post on X, Josh Miller says Claude Code has fundamentally changed what’s possible inside Browser Company, blurring the line between designers, engineers and non-technical staff. Miller says the tool has unlocked a wave of experimentation across the organization without impacting core responsibilities “Claude Code is meaningfully changing the roles we hire for at Browser Company, and what’s newly possible with the people we already have. We have designers putting up PRs left and…
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says artificial intelligence will expand the global economy dramatically, reshaping jobs rather than eliminating work altogether. In a new interview with Time, Jensen Huang says AI’s primary effect will be to remove low-value tasks from jobs, allowing people to focus on more meaningful work. “What AI will do is to make tasks that we do in our job more efficient. Our job is not to wrangle a spreadsheet. Our job is not to type into a keyboard. Our job is generally more meaningful than that.” He says those efficiency gains translate directly into growth, not contraction,…
Michael Burry says history offers a blunt warning for today’s AI investment boom: massive spending does not automatically create durable value for shareholders. In a Google Doc panel discussion among industry leaders published via Substack, Michael Burry says the trillions of dollars in AI spending look similar to Warren Buffett’s escalator in the 1960s, when he installed one only because a competitor across the street had done so. He notes that an escalator made the shopping experience better for customers, but department store owners shelled out money without creating a competitive advantage. “Well, value accrues, historically, in all industries, to…
Elon Musk says artificial intelligence has already advanced far enough to replace a massive share of white-collar work, creating an unavoidable competitive divide between companies that fully adopt AI and those that do not. In a new interview with Peter Diamandis, Elon Musk says the displacement is no longer theoretical but applicable today. “So even with AI at its current state, I’d say you’re pretty close to being able to replace half of all jobs, of all white-collar jobs.” Musk says the exposure extends well beyond corporate offices, noting that physical constraints are today’s limit. “That includes anything like education,…
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says a surge in factory construction and data center investment could drive US economic growth far beyond what most investors consider realistic. In a new interview with billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya, Lutnick says massive industrial projects already underway are setting the stage for a sharp acceleration in growth. Lutnick points to large-scale semiconductor and manufacturing investments as evidence. “Next year, with all this construction in the ground. Like this Friday, I’m flying up to New York to Micron’s groundbreaking of their tens of billions of dollars factory in upstate New York. Then I’m going to…
Google says Gmail is evolving from a passive inbox into an active assistant designed to help users manage their lives, not just their messages. In a new product update, Google says it is bringing Gmail into the Gemini era, using AI to surface the most important messages while reducing noise and clutter. “Today we’re bringing Gmail into the Gemini era, making it a personal, proactive inbox assistant to help you manage your life, not just your messages… Gmail’s new AI inbox filters out the clutter so you can focus on what’s most important. Think of it as a personalized TL;DR…
Artificial intelligence has moved from experimentation to obligation in corporate boardrooms, even as returns remain uneven and timelines stretch. According to a new global study from Teneo, AI is now the only technology where CEOs plan to accelerate investment faster than last year, signaling its shift from an innovation budget line to a core competitive requirement. The survey, which includes more than 350 public company CEOs and 400 institutional investors representing roughly $19 trillion in company and portfolio value, finds that 68% of CEOs expect to increase AI spending this year. Confidence in AI’s strategic value is rising alongside that…
Wells Fargo’s chief equity strategist says markets may look past near-term earnings softness as long as one pillar holds: sustained spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure. In a new CNBC interview, Ohsung Kwon says investors are already braced for slower growth this earnings season, shifting attention to what comes next. Kwon says weaker Q4 earnings reports are unlikely to shock markets. “I think the optimism has to hold given the recent rally that we saw. But I think some of the weakness that we might see in Q4 is going to get overlooked because everyone knows that earnings are going to…
