After a lifetime on the frontiers of the fight against HIV, Linda-Gail Bekker could finally see the end of the epidemic in sight. For decades, HIV experts had dreamed of an elusive vaccine to block the ongoing chain of infections, which still sees more than 1 million people worldwide contract the virus annually. Bekker, a 62-year-old medical professor from the University of Cape Town, had helped identify a drug that could do just that.

But now, thanks to the Trump administration’s executive orders, it’s unclear when—or possibly even ever—this breakthrough medicine will see the light of day.

At the AIDS 2024 conference held in Munich last July, Bekker had triumphantly unveiled the results of a momentous clinical trial she had led, called PURPOSE 1. It showed that lenacapavir, an antiretroviral developed by the pharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences, could prevent sexual transmission of HIV with 100 percent efficacy by disrupting the function of the virus’s capsid protein, which allows it to replicate.

Even more remarkably, compared with existing daily pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) pills, which do a similar job, injections are only required every six months. While not strictly a vaccine, lenacapavir promises to be the next best thing. It was named as 2024’s “Breakthrough of the Year” by the prestigious journal Science, and Gilead promptly committed to manufacturing 10 million doses by 2026, enough to treat 2.5 million people, ahead of anticipated regulatory approval later this year.

A collaborative effort between the medicines-financing initiative The Global Fund and PEPFAR, the US government’s global HIV/AIDS program, had pledged to procure 2 million of those doses over the course of three years, which would be directed toward countries with the highest incidence of HIV, most notably in sub-Saharan Africa. But with President Donald Trump’s decision to freeze all foreign aid funding, this plan has been left in tatters.

“There’s despondency and a sense of tragedy,” says Bekker. “Because just as we’ve had the breakthrough, we also see the taps turning off of resources. We had a laid-out map where the product would be supplied via PEPFAR and The Global Fund while we wait for generics [cheaper off-label versions of lenacapavir] to come online, which will take 18 months to two years. And at this moment, that plan is falling through in front of our eyes.”

While a temporary 90-day waiver has been issued for PEPFAR funding, this has only reinstated funding for life-saving antiretroviral treatments for HIV-positive individuals. Existing forms of PrEP are covered, but only for pregnant or breastfeeding women. There have been no indications that the planned purchase of lenacapavir will be fulfilled.

According to Kenneth Ngure, an HIV-prevention expert in Kenya and president-elect of the International AIDS Society, the loss of PEPFAR funding for prevention represents a major setback in the world’s ability to control HIV. “Even if The Global Fund partners with others, they will probably not be able to reach the number of doses they had promised,” he says. “We have this potential game-changer, which could accelerate the end of HIV as a public health threat, and yet it looks like access will be highly compromised.”

For Ngure and others, there is a sense of history repeating itself. The major limitation of PrEP is that adherence is notoriously poor, with studies showing that target groups often struggle to access or forget to take daily pills and feel stigmatized doing so. “We know that particularly for young people, taking a daily oral PrEP pill is challenging,” says Bekker. “We’ve tried all sorts of things, like sending text messages. São Paulo is even giving PrEP in a dispensing machine. But it’s sometimes very difficult to take something daily when you’re not sick and you’re doing it for prevention.”

Longer-acting injectables have long been viewed as a better way forward, and in 2021, the HIV field was galvanized by promising trial results for cabotegravir, a form of injectable PrEP that only needed to be administered every two months, with a trial demonstrating that people receiving this drug had 90 percent less risk of contracting HIV compared with oral pills. Yet access has been the major hurdle.

Last month a new study revealed that while regulators in 53 countries have approved cabotegravir, rollout has been painfully slow. Generic versions of the jab are not expected to become available until 2027. In Africa and Asia, where cabotegravir is most needed, the only access so far has been through so-called Phase 4 or implementation science studies, which attempt to understand more about the real-world challenges of offering a new drug by dispensing it to a few thousand people.

And also as a consequence of orders coming out of the White House, a number of these Phase 4 studies have abruptly ceased. “They’re very concentrated in East and Southern Central Africa,” says Bekker. “Some of them were PEPFAR supported, and with the stop-work order, these studies have ground to a halt.”

The frustration for researchers like Bekker is that while long-acting injectables are extremely effective at blocking HIV transmission, to end the epidemic, their rollout needs to be as rapid and as wide-reaching as possible. She points out that to prevent over a million new infections each year, these jabs need to be targeted at HIV hotspots and administered on a scale of millions—exactly as the plan with lenacapavir was proposing.

“We’ve seen with both cabotegravir and oral PrEP that if you get a new tool, but roll it out gently, that will not impact the epidemic,” says Ngure. “The number of new infections still outpaces the impact of the tool. You need something which is potent and to roll it out fast.”

With lenacapavir, things were supposed to be different. Gilead has partnered with six generic drugmakers, which have been licensed to produce enough of an off-label supply of lenacapavir to cover 120 countries. Estimates have suggested that if the global demand exceeded more than 20 million doses, the manufacturing costs could fall to just $35-40 per person per year. However, Bekker says that PEPFAR was expected to be a significant buyer, and without its financial clout the commercial viability of manufacturing generic lenacapavir at vast scales is in doubt.

“It requires a nice healthy demand to ensure that for each of the generic companies, it’s going to be worth their while,” says Bekker. “We are all hoping that governments [across sub-Saharan Africa] are writing the generic product into their budgets for the future, but the reality is that in the interim, we were relying on donor funding. Even my country, South Africa, which has a good GDP and funds 80 percent of its HIV response, is already purchasing antiretrovirals for 6 million individuals annually. I would imagine it will take them some years to be able to mobilize the money for lenacapavir as well.”

With PEPFAR seemingly now focused primarily on the treatment of existing patients, at the expense of prevention, clinicians like Nomathemba Chandiwana, a physician-scientist at the Desmond Tutu Health Foundation in South Africa, are concerned that the infection rate will begin to rise rather than fall, something which will have a marked public health impact across the African continent and beyond.

Speaking at last week’s NCD Alliance Forum in Kigali, Chandiwana explained that the consequences of new infections are not solely related to HIV itself. Research is increasingly showing that people living with long-term HIV infections, even those controlled by antiretroviral treatment, are at a greater risk of developing metabolic conditions such as hypertension, obesity and type 2 diabetes, a disease burden which is already on the rise in sub-Saharan Africa. “HIV itself disrupts your metabolism, as do many of the antiretrovirals,” says Chandiwana. “We see the same chronic diseases in people living with HIV as we do in the general population, but at an earlier age and in an accelerated fashion.”

Because of this, there is also a need for a new generation of HIV treatments, and one concept being explored was to use lenacapavir as a foundation of future combination therapies for those already with the virus. As well as potentially alleviating some of the metabolic side effects, it was hoped that this could lead to treatment protocols that did not require HIV-infected individuals to take daily medication.

“Various ideas have been mooted,” says Bekker. “Could you combine bimonthly cabotegravir with a six-monthly lenacapavir injection [as a form of viral suppression], so you’d only come in six times a year for treatment, and it would all be injectable? There’s a weekly antiretroviral pill in the works, and could you combine that with a six-monthly injectable? This could be very liberating for people, as they tell us all the time how stigmatizing it is to need to take daily medication.”

Yet many of these studies are now in doubt, as Bekker says they were expected to be funded by US resources. “It’s not just PEPFAR; we’re also worried about restrictions being placed on other sorts of research funding, such as the National Institutes of Health,” she says. “It’s just going to get harder to innovate and move progress forward.”

According to Ngure, there is still hope that other donors may emerge who can support The Global Fund in procuring lenacapavir, while Bekker says she is exploring new options for funding HIV prevention and research through European agencies, and possibly donor funding from sources in Scandinavia, Japan, and Australia. At the same time, she believes that the events of the past month have illustrated that African countries need to become capable of funding more preventative efforts themselves.

“Somehow Africa needs to step up and contribute to the fight,” she says. “I think that’s the big question. How much we can also contribute on this continent through countries which haven’t necessarily been able to cover a big amount of research and development but in the future need to.”

At the same time, she is afraid that without the same resources coming from the US, the unique opportunity provided by lenacapavir could be lost.

“It’s incredible that this has happened just as we’ve had the breakthrough,” she says. “I think this is going to set us back many years and ultimately cost a lot more in public health spending. Because ultimately, if we can bring this epidemic under control more quickly, it’s going to save the planet more money in the long run, and save lives too.”

Why Choose AI Content Creation for Your Content Strategy?

In the ever-evolving digital world, content is king. AI Content Creation is rapidly transforming how we produce and manage that content. But creating consistent, engaging, and high-quality content takes time, creativity, and resources—something many individuals and businesses struggle to balance. Thankfully, the rise of artificial intelligence has revolutionized the creative world, offering innovative solutions to long-standing content challenges. Let’s explore why using AI for content creation is becoming essential for anyone aiming to stay competitive and relevant.

What Makes AI a Valuable Tool for Content Creators?

At its core, AI is designed to augment human capabilities. Instead of replacing writers, marketers, or designers, it acts as a powerful assistant. By analyzing vast amounts of data, AI can identify trending topics, suggest headlines, and even draft initial versions of articles or social media posts. This significantly reduces the time and effort involved in the early stages of content production. With AI handling repetitive or research-heavy tasks, creators can focus more on refining ideas and adding their unique voices.

Smarter Personalization

Today’s audiences demand content that aligns closely with their personal interests, needs, and online behavior. AI can analyze user data—such as browsing habits, location, and engagement history—to help you craft personalized messages that resonate more deeply. Whether it’s a customized email subject line or a dynamic landing page, AI ensures the right message reaches the right person at the right time. 

How Does AI Improve Efficiency in Content Production?

One of the biggest challenges in content creation is the pressure to produce regularly without compromising quality. AI tools accelerate the process by generating drafts, summarizing information, and optimizing language for readability and SEO. This allows content teams to meet tight deadlines and scale their output without needing to hire additional staff. The automation of routine tasks like grammar checking or keyword placement also frees creators from tedious work, improving overall productivity.

Speed and Efficiency

One of the most immediate benefits of using artificial intelligence in content production is the significant boost in productivity. Traditional content workflows—research, ideation, drafting, and editing—can be time-consuming. AI tools can generate outlines, suggest headlines, write paragraphs, and even correct grammar in seconds. This allows creators to produce more content in less time, without sacrificing quality.

Imagine being able to create multiple blog posts, product descriptions, or social media updates in a fraction of the time it used to take. For businesses, this means faster campaign rollouts and the ability to respond quickly to trending topics or customer needs.

Does AI Limit Creativity or Enhance It?

There’s a misconception that relying on machines might stifle creativity. In truth, AI technologies frequently serve as a spark that ignites and enhances creative thinking. By handling mundane or technical aspects, they give creators more mental space to experiment and innovate. Some AI platforms suggest alternative angles or generate prompts that inspire new ideas. This collaborative process between human insight and machine intelligence can produce richer, more original content than either could achieve alone.

Boosting Creativity

Rather than substituting for human imagination, AI often amplifies and supports the creative process. By handling repetitive or technical tasks, AI frees up creators to focus on strategy, storytelling, and innovation. It can suggest fresh angles, explore alternative headlines, and even simulate different audience responses. This collaborative dynamic between humans and machines leads to richer, more inventive content. In this way, AI content creation becomes a partnership—where AI offers the structure and insights, while humans bring nuance, emotion, and originality.

How Does AI Maintain Brand Consistency Across Channels?

Consistency in tone, style, and messaging is critical for building trust and recognition. Managing this across multiple platforms can be complex, especially for larger teams or brands with a broad presence. AI can be trained on brand guidelines and past content to ensure new material aligns perfectly with the desired voice. This guarantees a unified brand identity whether the message appears in blogs, newsletters, social media, or advertisements.

Consistency Across Channels

Maintaining a consistent voice, tone, and style across multiple content channels—blogs, emails, websites, and social media—can be challenging. AI tools can be trained to adhere to your brand guidelines, ensuring that all output reflects your unique identity. This is particularly useful for companies managing large content volumes or collaborating with multiple creators.

Consistency builds trust and brand recognition. When your audience receives clear, cohesive messaging no matter where they interact with you, your brand becomes more memorable and credible. You can also watch: Meet AdsGPT’s Addie| Smarter Ad Copy Creation In Seconds

Final Thoughts: Why Embrace AI in Your Content Workflow?

Artificial intelligence is not just a passing trend—it’s transforming how content is created and consumed. From speeding up production and enhancing personalization to providing actionable insights and boosting creativity, AI content creators meet the growing demands of digital audiences. While human creativity remains irreplaceable, AI is proving to be an indispensable partner that elevates quality and efficiency.

AI is “not my thing,” President Donald Trump admitted during a speech in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. However, the president said during his remarks at the Energy and Innovation Summit, his advisers had told him just how important energy was to the future of AI.

“You need double the electric of what we have right now, and maybe even more than that,” Trump said, recalling a conversation with “David”—most likely White House AI czar David Sacks, a panelist at the summit. “I said, what, are you kidding? That's double the electric that we have. Take everything we have and double it.”

At the high-profile summit on Tuesday—where, in addition to Sacks, panelists and attendees included Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Google president and chief investment officer Ruth Porat, and ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods—companies announced $92 billion in investments across various energy and AI-related ventures. These are just the latest in recent breakneck rollouts in investment around AI and energy infrastructure. A day before the Pittsburgh meeting, Mark Zuckerberg shared on Threads that Meta would be building “titan clusters” of data centers to supercharge its AI efforts. The one closest to coming online, dubbed Prometheus, is located in Ohio and will be powered by onsite gas generation, SemiAnalysis reported last week.

For an administration committed to advancing the future of fossil fuels, the location of the event was significant. Pennsylvania sits on the Marcellus and Utica shale formations, which supercharged Pennsylvania’s fracking boom in the late 2000s and early 2010s. The state is still the country’s second-most prolific natural gas producer. Pennsylvania-based natural gas had a big role at the summit: The CEO of Pittsburgh-based natural gas company EQT, Toby Rice—who dubs himself the “people’s champion of natural gas”—moderated one of the panels and sat onstage with the president during his speech.

All this new demand from AI is welcome news for the natural gas industry in the US, the world’s top producer and exporter of liquefied natural gas. Global gas markets have been facing a mounting supply glut for years. Following a warm winter last year, Morgan Stanley predicted gas supply could reach “multi-decade highs” over the next few years. A jolt of new demand—like the demand represented by massive data centers—could revitalize the industry and help drive prices back up.

Natural gas from Pennsylvania and the Appalachian region, in particular, has faced market challenges both from ultra-cheap natural gas from the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico as well as a lack of infrastructure to carry supply out of the region. These economic headwinds are “why the industry is doing their best to sort of create this drumbeat or this narrative around the need for AI data centers,” says Clark Williams-Derry, an energy finance analyst at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis. It appears to be working. Pipeline companies are already pitching new projects to truck gas from the northeast—responding, they say, to data center demand.

The industry is finding a willing partner in the Trump administration. Since taking office, Trump has used AI as a lever to open up opportunities for fossil fuels, including a well-publicized effort to resuscitate coal in the name of more computing power. The summit, which was organized by Republican senator (and former hedge fund CEO) Dave McCormick, clearly reflected the administration’s priorities in this regard: No representatives from any wind or solar companies were present on any of the public panels.

Tech companies, which have expressed an interest in using any and all cheap power available for AI and have quietly pushed back against some of the administration’s anti-renewables positions, aren’t necessarily on the same page as the Trump administration. Among the announcements made at the summit was a $3 billion investment in hydropower from Google.

This demand isn’t necessarily driven by a big concern for the climate—many tech giants have walked back their climate commitments in recent years as their focus on AI has sharpened—but rather pure economics. Financial analyst Lazard said last month that installing utility-scale solar panels and batteries is still cheaper than building out natural gas plants, even without tax incentives. Gas infrastructure is also facing a global shortage that makes the timescales for setting up power generation vastly different.

“The waiting list for a new turbine is five years,” Williams-Derry says. “If you want a new solar plant, you call China, you say, ‘I want more solar.’”

Given the ideological split at the summit, things occasionally got a little awkward. On one panel, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, who headed up a fracking company before coming to the federal government, talked at length about how the Obama and Biden administrations were on an “energy crazy train,” scoffing at those administrations’ support for wind and solar. Speaking directly after Wright, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink admitted that solar would likely support dispatchable gas in powering AI. Incredibly, fellow panel member Woods, the ExxonMobil CEO, later paid some of the only lip service to the idea of drawing down emissions heard during the entire event. (Woods was touting the oil giant’s carbon capture and storage business.)

Still, the hype train, for the most part, moved smoothly, with everyone agreeing on one thing: We’re going to need a lot of power, and soon. Blackstone CEO Jonathan Gray said that AI could help drive “40 or 50 percent more power usage over the next decade,” while Porat, of Google, mentioned some economists’ projections that AI could add $4 trillion to the US economy by 2030.

It’s easy to find any variety of headlines or reports—often based on projections produced by private companies—projecting massive growth numbers for AI. “I view all of these projections with great skepticism,” says Jonathan Koomey, a computing researcher and consultant who has contributed to research around AI and power. “I don't think anyone has any idea, even a few years hence, how much electricity data centers are gonna use.”

In February, Koomey coauthored a report for the Bipartisan Policy Center cautioning that improvements in AI efficiency and other developments in the technology make data center power load hard to predict. But there’s “a bunch of self-interested actors,” Koomey says, involved in the hype cycle around AI and power, including energy executives, utilities, consultants and AI companies.

Koomey remembers the last time there was a hype bubble around electricity, fossil fuels, and technology. In the late 1990s, a variety of sources, including investment banks, trade publications, and experts testifying in front of Congress began to spread hype around the growth of the internet, claiming that the internet could soon consume as much as half of US electricity. More coal-fired power, many of these sources argued, would be needed to support this massive expansion. (“Dig More Coal—The PCs Are Coming” was the headline of a 1999 Forbes article that Koomey cites as being particularly influential to shaping the hype.) The prediction never came to pass, as efficiency gains in tech helped drive down the internet’s energy needs; the initial projections were also based, Koomey says, on a variety of faulty calculations.

Koomey says that he sees parallels between the late 1990s and the current craze around AI and energy. “People just need to understand the history and not fall for these self-interested narratives,” he says. There’s some signs that the AI-energy bubble may not be inflating as much as Big Tech thinks: in March, Microsoft quietly backed out of 2GW of data center leases, citing a decision to not support some training workloads from OpenAI.

“It can both be true that there's growth in electricity use and there's a whole bunch of people hyping it way beyond what it's likely to happen,” Koomey says.

The role of GIS in Tower Mapping and Fiber Network Planning across global markets

As the global demand for high-speed connectivity increases, telecom companies are trying to build networks that are strong, scalable, and future-ready. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are at the heart of this infrastructure transformation, a powerful tool that is changing the way companies map telecom towers and plan fiber optic networks. GIS constitutes an important factor in key digital markets such as Europe, Canada, and the United States for optimizing network design, speeding up deployment, and increasing operational efficiency.

Why is GIS important for Telecom?

GIS is a technique for collecting, storing, analyzing and visualizing geographical or geographic data. In the telecom industry, this is the detailed and accurate visualizations of geography, population density, infrastructure and regulatory boundaries. When it comes to tower mapping and fiber network planning, GIS provides the precision and insight that traditional planning methods cannot offer.

Tower Mapping in USA, Canada & Europe

Accurate tower mapping is essential for network performance. Here’s how GIS improves it.

Site Selection: GIS integrates environmental data, land use, demographics, and elevation to identify optimal tower sites. This reduces error and ensures better signal propagation, especially in challenging terrains or urban environments.

Signal Coverage analysis: GIS tools simulate signal coverage based on terrain, helping engineers design networks with minimal blind spots. 3D modeling and elevation data further aid in assessing whether new towers will be blocked by buildings, trees, or terrain.

Asset management and maintenance: Once towers are deployed, GIS provides real-time monitoring and visualization of tower locations, maintenance schedules, and operational status. This improves maintenance efficiency and minimizes downtime.

Fiber Network Planning in USA, Canada & Europe

Fiber optics forms the foundation of modern connectivity. GIS plays an important part in their easy distribution.

Route Planning

GIS helps designers identify the easiest and most cost-effective fiber routes by analyzing road networks, rights of way, and utility corridors. This minimizes construction costs and legal restrictions.

Population and Demand Analysis

GIS uses population data to analyze high-demand areas and estimate future growth zones. This guarantees that investments in fiber infrastructure are in line with current and future customer needs.

Risk Mitigation

GIS can analyze risk areas including flood zones, earthquake prone locations, and places with significant damages. Planners can change routes to minimize long-term maintenance costs and service disruptions.

Modern GIS systems use AI to estimate future demand zones, making fiber design more proactive rather than reactive. This is especially important in fast-growing suburban areas in Canada and the United States, where GIS modeling guides long-term infrastructure investment choices.

GIS is at the core of intelligent telecom infrastructure planning, allowing for accurate tower mapping and efficient fiber network rollout for high-speed connectivity. Companies such as Sven Carto, a prominent provider of GIS-based solutions in the United States, Canada, and Europe, provide telecom operators with precise spatial data, optimal planning, and shorter deployment deadlines. Their experience contributes to the design of high-speed networks that prioritize scalability, cost-efficiency, and long term sustainability.

As GIS technology advances, incorporating AI, real-time data, and predictive modeling, its position in global network construction becomes increasingly important. With forward-thinking partners like Sven Carto, the telecom industry is well positioned to fulfill the demands of a fast changing digital landscape.
