China Proposes Global AI Cooperation Organization in New Action Plan

China unveiled a comprehensive AI action plan at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai on Saturday, calling for a new global AI cooperation organization and international regulatory cooperation.

Days earlier, the U.S. released its own AI blueprint, underscoring the emerging rivalry between the world’s two largest economies. China’s plan highlights an “AI plus” initiative to integrate artificial intelligence across industries and extends aid to developing countries in the Global South. The announcement comes amid U.S. semiconductor export restrictions and the resumption of Nvidia’s H2O chip shipments to China.

Tech Giants Intensify AI Data Center Race

Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta and OpenAI are in a high-stakes competition to build the physical infrastructure that underpins tomorrow’s AI systems.

Amazon Web Services is driving Project Rainier, a $100 billion investment in 2025, linking hundreds of thousands of Trainium2 chips across 30 Indiana sites consuming over 2.2 GW.

Microsoft and OpenAI are co-building the $500 billion Stargate Project, featuring liquid-cooled superclusters in Texas and Ohio that could span millions of square feet and draw multiple gigawatts.

Google relies on its vertically integrated, TPU-powered “AI-first” centers, achieving 96 percent carbon-free power across its global footprint.

Meta’s modular “Tents” support real-time AI streams, with Ohio’s Prometheus hub (1 GW) and Louisiana’s Hyperion (2 GW by 2030) on deck.

These multi-billion-dollar builds reflect not just capital outlays but fundamental bets on who controls the compute core of AI innovation.

Microsoft Ends Use of China-Based Engineers for DoD and Federal Cloud Support

Microsoft announced last week it will no longer use China-based engineering teams to support its Department of Defense cloud systems, following a ProPublica investigation that raised espionage and hacking concerns.

ProPublica also found that the tech giant employed China-based personnel—overseen by U.S. “digital escorts”—to maintain Government Community Cloud (GCC) platforms for Justice, Treasury, Commerce, EPA and Education. Microsoft says it will extend new security measures to all GCC customers and conduct a review to determine if further steps are needed.

Colorado, California and Montana Enact First U.S. Brain-Data Privacy Laws

Landmark Laws Protect Neural Data

States including Colorado, California and Montana have enacted landmark statutes mandating express consent, opt-out options and data-deletion rights for brain data gathered by consumer devices outside medical settings. These measures amend each state’s privacy code to ensure individuals own and control sensitive information generated by their nervous system.

Backed by unanimous or near-unanimous votes, the laws respond to a Neurorights Foundation report showing most online neurotech companies share brain data with third parties without meaningful limits. Montana’s law takes effect this October, with Colorado and California’s amendments now on the books.

Over Half of U.S. States Issue AI Guidelines for K-12 Schools

More than half of U.S. states have moved to regulate AI in K–12 classrooms. According to a report from advocacy group AI for Education, 28 states and the District of Columbia now provide official guidance on defining artificial intelligence, developing responsible-use practices and safeguarding academic integrity. Early adopters such as North Carolina issued a comprehensive framework last year, while Georgia, Maine, Missouri, Nevada and New Mexico have followed with ethical principles and classroom resources. In the absence of federal rules, state-level policies are seen as critical to ensuring AI enhances rather than detracts from student learning.
