The current boom in artificial intelligence poses an unresolved problem: a complete lack of verifiable ownership and economic structure. Companies are creating powerful, specialized AI systems that are only available as temporary services. However, this service-based model is unsustainable because it prevents clear ownership, makes it difficult to know where AI output comes from, and provides no direct way to fund and evaluate specialized intelligence. Improving algorithms alone will not solve the problem. Instead, a new ownership…

The long-awaited trade deal between India and the United States is at a “very advanced stage,” Indian Oil and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri told CNBC on Tuesday.”I’m going to try to look on the positive side.

Meta’s 5-gigawatt “Hyperion” data center under construction in Richland Parish, Louisiana, January 9, 2026.metaRecent analysis suggests that the popular narrative that artificial intelligence is the engine that will keep the U.S. economy afloat is overstated. The AI ​​boom has reshaped market valuations, spurred record bond issuance to finance large-scale investments and data centers, and had a significant impact on gross domestic product (GDP), especially in early 2025. For this reason, many economists and market participants suggested that investment in AI would be a savior for the country’s stagnant economy. But a January report by Prajakta Bhide, U.S. economic strategist at…

It wasn’t entirely clear last week whether Harrigan would take up a new position at the Justice Department after federal appeals court judges disqualified Alina Haba from her role…
