Tech companies are betting big on nuclear energy to meet AI’s massive power demands—and Trump’s done a lot to make it easier for them. Heidy Khlaaf, the head AI scientist at the AI Now Institute, tells us why that’s dangerous.

NEW REPORT: Artificial Power, our 2025 Landscape Report, is out.
Today’s AI isn’t just being used by us, it’s being used on us. We urgently need to reclaim public power over the future trajectory of AI. Another path is possible.

DOGE's new AI, built to scan federal workers' emails to see if they get to keep their jobs, is the latest in a number of AI schemes from Musk.
We might scoff at how dumb these ideas are, but the truth is, they're not even supposed to work. They're built to eliminate accountability.

What's really behind Elon Musk and DOGE's AI schemes
DOGE is feeding workers' emails into an AI to decide if they should keep their jobs. It's a cruel joke in the service of something much worse.

Grateful to have my work (and, scarily, life) profiled in a way that puts the issue I care most about--a more just world for low-income people--front and center. Please read + spread the message that use of AI undermines people's ability to have decent, stable housing, work, education, +health care
"The incentives never align for anybody to do right by poor people.”
Amazing deep dive by @loisparshley.bsky.social of @levernews.com on our work + how powerful people use AI in ways that harm low-income folks: states cutting health care, landlords denying housing, cops targeting students, etc.

New investigation by @apnews.com on the IDF's use of OpenAI models in Gaza. I spoke to them regarding this first confirmation of commercial foundation models being directly used in warfare and the implications of using highly error-prone AI for life or death determinations

As Israel uses US-made AI models in war, concerns arise about tech’s role in who lives and who dies
U.S. tech giants have quietly empowered Israel to track and kill many more alleged militants more quickly in Gaza and Lebanon through a sharp spike in artificial intelligence and computing services.

I've been writing BLOOD IN THE MACHINE for months, but I was on the fence about going all-in. Recent events have made the call easier.
Elon Musk, the Silicon Valley oligarchs and their AI are taking over. I want to do all I can to push back. I hope you'll join me, and I'm asking for your support.
