It's Trump policy that U.S. tech must be globally dominant.

It's also US policy that its tech corps must be free from:

Regulation. Taxation. Fact checking and monitoring for hate lies, disinformation.

All are now being treated as attacks on the U.S. itself.

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.
AI Is Inventing Academic Papers That Don't Exist -- And They're Being Cited in Real Journals
Academic articles from authors using large language model are creating an ecosystem of fake research that threatens human knowledge itself.
