“ Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would have tracked data centers’ growing water footprint in California. He says California is “well positioned” to support the data center boom, and he is reluctant to “impose rigid reporting requirements.” The governor signed other bills on water supply goals, groundwater dispute resolution, and water theft from fire hydrants.”

“In the four, roughly two-hour lectures, which began last month and culminated Monday at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, Thiel laid out his religious views to a sold-out audience told to keep the contents “off-the-record,” according to an event listing. He argued that those who propose limits on technology development not only hinder business but also threaten to usher in the destruction of the United States and an era of global totalitarian rule, according to the recordings. “In the 17th, 18th century, the Antichrist would have been a Dr. Strangelove, a scientist who did all this sort of evil crazy science,” Thiel said in his Sept. 15 opening talk, according to the recordings. “In the 21st century, the Antichrist is a Luddite who wants to stop all science. It’s someone like Greta or Eliezer,” he said, referring to Thunberg and Eliezer Yudkowsky, a prominent critic of the tech industry’s approach to AI. Thunberg has criticized global capitalism as a driver of environmental degradation while Yudkowsky advocates for limiting AI research to prevent the technology from surpassing human intelligence.”

“Deloitte Australia will partially refund the 440,000 Australian dollars ($290,000) paid by the Australian government for a report that was littered with apparent AI-generated errors, including a fabricated quote from a federal court judgment and references to nonexistent academic research papers. The financial services firm’s report to the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations was originally published on the department’s website in July.
A revised version was published Friday after Chris Rudge, a Sydney University researcher of health and welfare law, said he alerted the media that the report was “full of fabricated references.” Deloitte had reviewed the 237-page report and “confirmed some footnotes and references were incorrect,” the department said in a statement Tuesday. “Deloitte had agreed to repay the final instalment under its contract,” the department said. The amount will be made public after the refund is reimbursed.
Asked to comment on the report’s inaccuracies, Deloitte told The Associated Press in a statement the “matter has been resolved directly with the client.” Deloitte did not respond when asked if the errors were generated by AI. ”
“Pendant que les géants de la Silicon Valley investissent des milliards de dollars dans les serveurs de l’IA, les entreprises apprennent à utiliser cet outil à marche forcée, sachant qu’il y va de leur avenir, voire de leur survie. Aux Etats-Unis, toute firme soupçonnée de ne pas l’adopter assez rapidement est attaquée en Bourse, à l’instar du géant Accenture, dont l’action a perdu un tiers de sa valorisation depuis le début de l’année. Sa patronne, Julie Sweet, a déclaré aux analystes financiers qu’elle allait licencier ses consultants jugés incapables de s’adapter à ces nouvelles technologies : « Nous investissons dans la formation continue. Nous faisons sortir, dans un calendrier serré, les personnes dont la requalification ne constitue pas une solution viable. » Exit ceux qui ne peuvent pas suivre, même si 555 000 consultants sur les 780 000 salariés du groupe ont été formés. Il est délicat de savoir si ces personnes licenciées correspondent au flux normal des départs. Reste que le message est clair : point de salut sans l’IA.”
“Tobac showed 404 Media a few horrifying videos to illustrate her point. In one, a child pleads with their parents for bail money. In another, a woman tells the local news she’s going home after trying to vote because her polling place was shut down. In a third, Sam Altman tells a room that he can no longer keep Open AI afloat because the copyright cases have become too much to handle. All of the videos looked real. None of them have a watermark. “All of these examples have one thing in common,” Tobac said. “They’re attempting to generate AI content for use off Sora 2’s platform on other social media to create mass or targeted confusion, harm, scams, dangerous action, or fear for everyday folk who don’t understand how believable AI can look now in 2025.””
“Yet according to recent estimates, generative AI now accounts for roughly 40 percent of the United States’ gross domestic product. In other words, if the AI spending boom falls apart, it could take down the entire economy with it. Fund manager and former Morgan Stanley investor Ruchir Sharma warned in a recent piece for the Financial Times that the US economy has turned into “one big bet on AI.” “AI companies have accounted for 80 per cent of the gains in US stocks so far in 2025,” he wrote. “That is helping to fund and drive US growth, as the AI-driven stock market draws in money from all over the world, and feeds a boom in consumer spending by the rich.””
“Le recours à la PNIJ ayant été rendu obligatoire, « sauf impossibilité technique », elle a servi plus de 3,5 millions de prestations en 2024, en hausse de 10,9 % sur un an. Ses utilisateurs sont la gendarmerie nationale (34 203 utilisateurs uniques), la police nationale (26 638), la justice (969) et les douanes (270). Au total, et en y ajoutant les magistrats, la PNIJ dénombrerait 70 000 utilisateurs. 31 millions d’appels, 500 000 MMS et 500 To de datas en 2024 Les volumes de données interceptées sont également considérables : 31 millions d’appels voix, presque autant de SMS, 500 000 MMS et près de 500 tébioctets de data. Sachant qu’1 tébioctet (Tio) correspond à 1 099 511 627 776 (2^40) octets, soit légèrement plus de 1 téraoctet (1 000 milliards d’octets, ou 1 000 Go). Les fonctionnalités de la PNIJ couvrent aujourd’hui « la quasi-totalité des besoins des enquêteurs ». La géolocalisation, qui était l’une des principales fonctions manquantes aux débuts de la PNIJ, a été introduite en 2023 et a « très rapidement » récupéré les parts de marché détenues auparavant par l’entreprise Deveryware (depuis rachetée par le nouveau champion français de la cybersurveillance ChapsVision). Depuis la mi-2025, environ 90 % des demandes de géolocalisation passent désormais par la PNIJ.”

“Entré en vigueur en juin 2024, le premier volet du règlement européen sur l’intelligence artificielle (AI Act), qui porte sur les IA interdites, intègre dans le cadre du travail ces outils de déduction des émotions. « La base scientifique des systèmes d’IA visant à identifier ou à déduire les émotions suscite de vives inquiétudes, d’autant plus que l’expression des émotions varie considérablement d’une culture à l’autre et d’une situation à l’autre, voire au sein d’un même individu, souligne le règlement. Parmi les principales lacunes de ces systèmes figurent leur fiabilité limitée, leur manque de spécificité et leur capacité limitée de généralisation. »
La Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés met d’ailleurs en garde les entreprises : « Ce n’est pas parce que ces solutions sont en vente qu’elles sont légales et conformes d’un point de vue de la protection des données », prévient Eric Delisle, chef de service juridique de cette entité, en rappelant que c’est aux entreprises qu’il revient de s’assurer sur ce point qu’elles sont bien dans la légalité. L’avertissement vaut d’autant plus que ce texte encore récent invite à la prudence dans son interprétation.”
