Artificial intelligence has advanced to the point where it can already perform work equal to nearly 12% of the U.S. labor market, according to a new set of studies from MIT.  Using a large scale simulation model called the Iceberg Index, researchers created a digital twin of the American workforce by mapping 151 million workers, their occupations, and more than 32,000 skills against what today’s AI tools can already do. The result shows that current systems have the technica

OpenAI is urging the United States government to dramatically expand its electricity generation, warning that without a massive increase in power supply, America risks losing its lead in artificial intelligence to China. In a letter to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the company called for the construction of 100 gigawatts of new energy capacity each year, nearly double the total that the U.S. added in 2024, to meet the growing demands of AI infrastru
