Data centers face political scrutiny as senators investigate their impact on electricity prices amid rapid AI-driven growth.

Renowned sociologist Tressie McMillan Cottom says that AI is a tool for the rich to cement control over society.

December 20, 2025, 1:25 PM ET Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, during a media tour of the Stargate AI data center in Abilene, Texas, on Sept. 23, 2025. All eyes are on the Big Tech LLM race and, at least in the eyes of investors, it seems like Google (owned by Alphabet, No. 7) could run away with the win. Google’s Gemini has been steadily stealing buzz and AI traffic share over the last few months from OpenAI. And if there was any moat to be had in LLMs, it would seem like it would belong to the

Deepfakes and chatbots are now good enough that many web users don’t trust they are interacting with real people.

A RANGE EXTENDER (REX) IS A SIMPLER form of plug in hybrid. The engine can’t power the wheels, but drives a generator that sends its electricity to the battery, or to the drive motor if it’s needed there. Mostly you run with the battery, with the engine sparking up only when it’s flat.

For years, solid-state batteries (SSBs) have been shimmering like a mirage. We're thirsty for their promised benefits, but so far they’re all promise and no delivery. Still, if you had to name one company in the high-performance EV space that does actually make good on its pledges, that'd be Rimac.

Artificial intelligence is fast becoming a barometer of national technological ambition. Stanford University’s AI Vibrancy Tool, which blends metrics from res…

MI6's new chief, Blaise Metreweli, devoted a large portion of her first speech to the issue of all-powerful tech corporations.

AI’s power demand is exploding faster than the grid can grow and these fuels everyone dismissed as “dead” may be the only thing keeping America in the race.

There was a time when “real-time analytics” meant a dashboard that updated every 15 minutes. For most enterprises, that was revolutionary, enabling teams to monitor performance without waiting for end-of-month reports. But in an AI-first era, that model feels painfully slow. Business now unfolds in milliseconds, not minutes, and users expect answers in the flow […]

“The world of bits moves fast. The world of atoms doesn’t. And data centers are where those two worlds collide.”

Driven by high-performance computing and AI, the global data center cooling market is rapidly transitioning from traditional air-cooling to liquid and hybrid architectures to manage extreme thermal densities and meet growing regulatory demands for energy efficiency.
