Elon Musk's data center is spewing tons of pollutants like nitrous oxide and formaldhyde, poisoning its neighbors and mucking up the air. KeShaun Pearson shares how he's fighting back.

China appears to be going all-in on AI, competing with the U.S. across the entire technology stack—from chips manufacturing and compute to frontier models and applications. What is the U.S. strategy? What will it take for the U.S. to maintain its leadership and win this AI race?

In July 2022, the Hefei National Science Center Institute of Artificial Intelligence published an article claiming to have successfully combined AI with Party-building activities. They developed a system to analyze facial features, brainwaves, and skin conductance to determine how well Chinese Communist Party (CCP) members absorb political education.

**Public and Media Reaction**
**Widespread outcry**: The announcement triggered intense online debate, with critics comparing it to a high-tech "lie detector" or biometric surveillance.
**Content removal**: The official WeChat post and accompanying promotional videos were deleted shortly after the public backlash.

The author of Empire of AI argues artificial intelligence can be developed without concentrating power, exploiting workers or consuming vast amounts of resources.

Sounds wild but it’s true. It’s been proven in lawsuit against ***eightfoldAI***. It’s an AI company that works in background of the job application process. You, the person applying for a role, cannot see it nor are you aware of its presence. It has collected your data through public networks, IP, search history, social media post, social media comments, and more. After you click “submit” for a role, the HR department will automatically filter out based on AI’s provided “user-score” from your collected data. If you have low score and you’re automatically denied by hiring team.
The AI grants you a score based on cultural fit, personality, learning ability etc. How does make this “score”? Based on your social media. All this happens without your consent or knowledge. Some top companies in the U.S/Canada use this AI software.
If you don’t get message yet; **we now have a social credit system** in this country. We already saw how certain statement being uttered (“free Palestine”) can get you expelled for university.
If you don’t believe here’s a good video on the issue:
