FRESH AI NEWS

Trump's vision for AI in our future 🌐

Trump has announced "America's AI Action Plan." The goal is to integrate artificial intelligence into federal government operations 📢

• The plan outlines over 90 federal policy actions into three main areas: Accelerating Innovation, Building American AI Infrastructure, and Leading in International Diplomacy and Security 📄

• It requires AI developers to ensure their chatbots are free of ideological bias and based on American values to qualify for federal contracts ⚖️

• The strategy seeks to make American hardware and software the standard platform for AI innovations worldwide ⚙️

Why You Should Care: Trump's AI strategy marks a significant change from Biden's approach, which focuses on safety favouring American AI leadership. It uses federal procurement to enforce "ideological neutrality," encouraging Big Tech to align AI with conservative values, potentially dividing the global AI ecosystem by political beliefs.

How Google is monetizing AI at scale 📊

Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced that AI is boosting all business areas, as the company reported a 14% revenue increase to $96.4 billion, driven by growth in Search, Cloud, and advertising 🚀

• Google Cloud Platform's annual revenue run rate has exceeded $50 billion, driven by AI services 📈

• The company is integrating Gemini AI across its products, enhancing search, YouTube recommendations, and Gmail features, to create revenue synergies ☁️

• Pichai urged employees to accelerate innovation and stay focused amid fierce competition, stating "the stakes are high" for 2025 as Google faces pressure from OpenAI and Meta 🔁

Why You Should Care: Google's AI-driven revenue surge validates its infrastructure investments, positioning it as the leader in monetizing AI at scale. Unlike competitors like OpenAI, which focus on AGI, Google profits from practical AI applications, showing that incremental improvements can be more lucrative than breakthrough research.

OpenAI signs record-breaking $30B deal with Oracle⚡

OpenAI has signed a huge $30 billion annual deal with Oracle, marking the largest cloud computing contract ever and nearly tripling Oracle's data center infrastructure revenue overnight 💸

• The Oracle deal covers 4.5 gigawatts of capacity as part of Stargate, the $500 billion project to build data centers by OpenAI and Oracle 💰

• Oracle made $10.3 billion in annual revenue from its data center infrastructure business in 2025, nearly three times their previous infrastructure income 📈

• The Abilene campus is expected to eventually host 400,000 Nvidia GPUs, representing a hardware investment of nearly $40 billion 🧠

Why You Should Care: This is a power play in the AI arms race, not just a cloud deal. Oracle emerges from the software shadows to become a major player in AI infrastructure, while OpenAI now controls more computing power than most countries. With energy usage comparable to that of small cities, who controls the machines that run AI will determine its future more so than improved algorithms.

Google just made AI video mainstream 🎥

Google is extending its AI photo-to-video feature from Gemini to Google Photos and YouTube Shorts, to turn still images into animated six-second videos 🧩

• The Veo 2 model creates short videos from photos, adding animations, facial expressions, and movement with preset style options 🎥

• The rollout includes new "remix" features that allow users to transform photos into different artistic styles like anime, comics, sketches or 3D animations 🌀

• Initially launched in Gemini for paying users to create eight-second videos with sound effects using Veo 3, the feature is now available across Google's mainstream consumer apps 🛟

Why You Should Care: Google is shifting its strategy to make AI video generation widely accessible, similar to photo filters, by integrating Veo capabilities into platforms like Photos and YouTube. This move aims to establish dominance in the AI-generated content market ahead of competitors like OpenAI's Sora.
