The tech industry is failing to regulate online content effectively, allowing misinformation to spread and earn creators millions of dollars. Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, has seen a 55% increase in creator accounts since 2023, with over $20 billion generated from advertising revenues shared between social platforms and content creators in 2024. This incentivizes creators to produce viral posts, even if they are false or AI-generated. Experts say that platforms like Meta should do more to prevent misinformation, while governments and local civil society organizations also have a role to play in tackling the issue.

In contrast, generative AI has a solid use case in programming workflows, as Google claims that around 25% of new code is now AI-generated. Microsoft is open-sourcing their tools to facilitate research on this topic.

Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah penned an 18-page judgement emphasizing that AI should be used as a tool to aid judicial proceedings, not replace human judges. The court noted that while AI tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek can enhance judicial capacity, they cannot replace human reasoning, discretion, and empathy. Pakistan's Federal Judicial Academy has introduced "Judge-GPT" to assist district judges with case research and drafting under a regulated framework. The court warned against "automation bias" and stressed the need for transparency, explainability, and contestability in AI outputs.

In response, US President Donald Trump has launched the "National Council for Energy Dominance" to boost electricity production and reduce reliance on coal, which currently accounts for 30% of data centre energy needs. However, this growth is expected to increase carbon emissions linked to electricity consumption from 180 million tonnes to 300 million tonnes by 2035, a relatively small share of the global total of 41.6 billion tonnes estimated in 2024.
