Watch the Capitol Hill event, presented by ITIF and the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), where expert panelists discussed how content transparency can strengthen trust across the digital ecosystem.

The European Parliament has disabled built-in AI features on corporate tablets and phones issued to MEPs and staff over concerns that data sent to cloud services by these features presented a security risk. This decision is misguided because it does not address security risks, drives AI use into the shadows, disrupts everyday productivity tools, and imposes disproportionate costs on the Parliament’s smaller delegations.

AI-enabled “ghost student” scams are siphoning millions in federal financial aid by exploiting weak, document-based identity verification systems at U.S. colleges. While the Department of Education has tightened ID checks, Congress should establish interoperable, high-assurance digital IDs to prevent fraud at scale and ensure aid reaches real students.

In 2025, more than one-third of individuals (36.8 percent) used generative AI tools such as ChatGPT or Claude.

A Morning Consult survey commissioned by ITIF examines public attitudes toward AI in military operations, surveillance, and corporate responsibility surrounding the Pentagon–Anthropic dispute.

In Tech Policy Press, Daniel Castro argues that a dispute between the U.S. Department of Defense and Anthropic over military AI use underscores the need for Congress—not executive pressure or private contracts—to set clear statutory guardrails for deploying AI in national defense.

We should want companies to shed workers they no longer need. Productivity gains flow to lower prices, higher wages, and long-term growth. Don’t slow innovation—accelerate it.

While the Hyundai Motor case now sits at the center of Korea’s AI jobs debate, the evidence suggests that the nation’s more immediate constraints are weak productivity growth and uneven labor-market adjustment—not large-scale technological displacement. How Korea responds will shape its competitiveness in a high-cost, aging manufacturing economy under intensifying global competition.

The GRID Act misdiagnoses the problem of rising electricity costs by treating data centers as inherently extractive and imposing punitive requirements, rather than addressing flawed market design. A better approach is a flexibility-first model that rewards adjustable AI demand, allowing data centers to support grid stability while protecting households from price spikes.

The India AI Impact Summit will test whether the United States can position itself as a credible AI partner to emerging economies by advancing collaboration with India on adoption, compute equity, and governance to deliver secure, scalable, and impactful AI deployment.
