A federal judge in California on Thursday ruled that the Pentagon's effort to blacklist Anthropic earlier this year violated the First Amendment and deprived the artificial intelligence company of its constitutionally protected liberties. U.S. District Judge Rita Lin vacated Anthropic's supply chain risk designation and declared that the Department of Defense's actions violated the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment. Lin directed the DOD to rescind all guidance, directives, communications or instructions that it issued against the company. "The empty invocation of national security is not a blank check to punish and retaliate against government critics," the judge wrote in her ruling in San Francisco federal court. In March, the DOD designated Anthropic a supply chain risk, meaning the company purportedly threatened U.S. national security, after negotiations about how the military could use its Claude AI models spiraled out of control. "We welcome the...

President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order that he said will "immediately" change the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America." Trump's attempt to rename the Great Lake, which straddles the U.S. northern border with Canada, came as a recent breakdown in trade talks between Washington and Ottawa has led to new retaliatory tariffs and a rapidly deteriorating relationship. Trump in recent days had repeatedly threatened to take the symbolic step, but it was unclear if he was being serious. Canadian officials have already said they will not recognize the new name. Countries can use different names for the same geographical features. "We're going to be changing the name of Lake Ontario, effective immediately, to Lake America," Trump said in the Oval Office before signing the executive order. A White House official told Trump that the order directs Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and his department to update the Geographic Names Informatio...

Nvidia is bolstering support for Chinese artificial intelligence models in a play to beat domestic chipmakers to optimizing hardware for the systems. The move comes amid growing unease among U.S. lawmakers about the adoption of Chinese AI models by American companies. The chip giant on Wednesday highlighted a "local AI initiative with optimizations for top open models," including DeepSeek's V4 Flash and Alibaba's Qwen 3.8, alongside systems developed by Google and Nvidia itself. But an SEC filing linked to the company's second-quarter earnings also warned of business risks from potential White House restrictions on AI developed in China. Chinese AI models have made leaps in capability in 2026 and their increasing adoption by developers across the globe including in the U.S. has intensified a wave of anxiety from lawmakers in Washington. Access to open AI models, the most capable of which are Chinese, has become a key flashpoint in the intensifying race for techno...

Image source, Getty Images By Imran Rahman-Jones Technology reporter Published 7 hours ago Meta's $18bn ( 13.3bn) settlement with nearly every US state is about more than money. As part of the deal, Facebook and Instagram have agreed to bring in several significant measures to protect children online - though Meta has not admitted to any wrongdoing. These include time limits, warnings over screen time and more parental controls over their children's accounts. At the moment, they will just apply to children in the US - but they could have an impact on the rest of the world. And if they ultimately set a precedent, other social media companies may be forced to take up the rules, too. What does this mean for the UK? The UK has its own measures in place to protect children online. The Online Safety Act mainly put restrictions on what content young people can see online. But the UK government has gone further than the US ban already. Earlier this year, it announced an outright soci...

Here's when bitcoin may hit $500,000 Brian Sozzi Executive Editor Wed, August 26, 2026 at 2:11 AM PDT 3 min read BTC-USD With the returning rally in the price of bitcoin ( BTC-USD ), comes the return of big calls on bitcoin by the Wall Street bulls. Bernstein analyst Gautum Chhugani thinks bitcoin will notch several important price milestones over the next few years. "In our base case, we expect bitcoin to reach new all-time high of $150K by mid-2027 and $300K by 2029 end. However, given the macro regime shift, if institutional capital actively chases bitcoin, we could see an accelerated timeline, with bitcoin potentially peaking at $500K in 2029 and rapid recovery to new all-time highs of ~$200K by mid-2027. We maintain our bitcoin price forecast of ~$1 M million by 2033 end across the base and bull case," Chhugani said in a note on Wednesday. Bitcoin is having a price gusher to close out August. The price of bitcoin broke through $80,000 early Tuesday for the first tim...

The Prime Minister of U.S.-ally Qatar is in Iran for talks on Thursday as part of efforts to "de-escalate tensions" between Tehran and Washington. Qatar, which has served as a back channel between the warring countries, announced Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani would visit Tehran to "discuss ways to de-escalate tensions and create the conditions conducive to dialogue." It came after the UK Maritime Trade Operations agency said that another oil tanker was struck by an unidentified projectile in the Strait of Hormuz early on Thursday, the latest in a string of sporadic attacks that have kept ships away from the vital energy corridor. A spokesperson for Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said in a post on X that the Qatari Prime Minister is due to "meet with a number of Iranian officials" during his visit. "The discussions will also address freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz & the need for it to return to the status quo prior to February 28,...
