Trump Unveils Sweeping AI Action Plan to Accelerate U.S. Leadership

President Trump on Wednesday unveiled “Winning the AI Race: America’s AI Action Plan,” a 28-page blueprint aimed at cementing U.S. dominance in artificial intelligence by slashing federal and state regulations and fast-tracking critical infrastructure.

Key measures include:

Deregulating AI by removing references to misinformation, diversity, equity and inclusion, and climate change from the National Institute of Standards and Technology risk framework.

Banning “woke AI” in federal contracts and threatening to pull funds from states that adopt stricter AI laws.

Accelerating data-center and chip factory buildouts on federal lands, with streamlined environmental permits favoring dispatchable power sources like natural gas, coal and nuclear.

The plan also eases export restrictions—notably on Nvidia’s H20 chips to China—calls for open-source models, workforce retraining and a diplomatic push to set global AI standards. Top tech leaders from Nvidia and AMD joined Trump in Washington to back the initiative, touting its potential to supercharge U.S. innovation. (PCMag)

Google Pixel 10 Leaks Reveal Design and Feature Upgrades

Google’s upcoming Pixel 10 series has been fully exposed through an accidental banner in the Play Store, with Android Authority first spotting images of the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL and the new 10 Pro Fold. The leak confirms a near-identical design to last year’s Pixel 9 lineup—flat edges, rounded corners and a pill-shaped camera array—while revealing new finishes and a $50 off US promotion valid until mid-October.

Key confirmations include:

A triple-camera module on the standard Pixel 10, likely adding a 5× telephoto lens alongside the 50MP main and 12MP ultrawide sensors (Android Authority)

A new silvery-blue “Moonstone” hue for all Pro models and an “Indiego Blue” shade for the base Pixel 10

Core specs such as Google’s Tensor G5 chip, a 6.3-inch 1–120Hz LTPO display, up to 16 GB RAM and 1 TB storage on the Pro

With an official reveal set for August 20, buyers now have a clear look at the hardware and early pricing cues ahead of preorders.

Tech Titans Vie for Nvidia AI Chips as Huang Demystifies Allocation Process

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has laid bare his company’s AI chip allocation strategy, dismissing claims of favoritism among tech giants. Speaking on the All In Podcast, Huang explained that allocation is as simple as placing a purchase order, with Nvidia providing roadmap visibility a year in advance to all partners. He even revealed he’s written off $5 billion worth of Hopper GPUs to ensure supply, inviting anyone needing extras to reach out directly. This comes as demand for H100 AI processors surges from Tesla, Meta and OpenAI, and as U.S. sanctions intensify supply uncertainties for Chinese customers.

Crypto Hacks Exceed $3.1B in H1 2025 as Access Flaws Persist

Crypto protocols and exchanges have already suffered over $3.1 billion in losses in the first half of 2025, surpassing the full-year total of $2.85 billion in 2024, according to a new report from blockchain security auditor Hacken. Access-control vulnerabilities remain the chief culprit, accounting for roughly 59% of the stolen funds, while smart-contract bugs contributed about $263 million.

Key incidents include the $1.5 billion Bybit breach in Q1 and the $223 million Cetus exploit in Q2—the largest DeFi heist since early 2023. As attackers pivot from cryptographic flaws toward human and process weaknesses, the sector faces an urgent need to harden legacy codebases and operational security. The report also warns that AI-driven exploits have surged by 1,025%, highlighting insecure APIs as a growing attack vector.

Feds Delay BEAD Broadband Awards, Restructure for Tech-Neutral Bids

**Federal pause on BEAD grants shakes up Wisconsin rollout—**in early June, the NTIA ordered the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin to rescind all preliminary awards under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program. This action halted approximately $540 million in first-round funding and shelved 259 pending applications statewide.

On July 17, the program relaunched with the Benefit of the Bargain (BOB) application, ditching fiber-first mandates and equity language (e.g., “net neutrality,” “open access”) in favor of a tech-neutral, lowest-cost approach. Door County officials say the new rules—and a Sept. 4 proposal deadline—should clarify next steps for serving 6,056 BEAD-eligible locations by year’s end.
