📢 The Signal Behind the Noise
Today’s stories are about who pays for AI and who is in control of it. Meta and Apple are pooling hardware and software, CNN is trying to get paid for its content, and investors are asking whether the money behind the data centres is as solid as the demand. Meanwhile, Regina and Alberta show that local governments are being pulled into AI decisions they have little power over, so the questions about who decides are the ones to watch.
