Friends,

I wanted to make sure you saw this piece by Lina Khan, who until a few days ago was chair of the Federal Trade Commission. IMHO — as someone who was once an official of the FTC — Khan was one of the wisest and most courageous of its leaders. She wrote the following in the February 4 edition of The New York Times.

Stop Worshiping the American Tech Giants

By Lina M. Khan

When Chinese artificial intelligence firm DeepSeek shocked Silicon Valley and Wall Street with its powerful new A.I. model, Marc Andreessen, the Silicon Valley investor, went so far as to describe it as “A.I.’s Sputnik moment.” Presumably, Mr. Andreessen wasn’t calling on the federal government to start a massive new program like NASA, which was our response to the Soviet Union’s Sputnik satellite launch; he wants the U.S. government to flood private industry with capital, to ensure that America remains technologically and economically dominant.

As an antitrust enforcer, I see a different metaphor. DeepSeek is the canary in the coal mine. It’s warning us that when there isn’t enough competition, our tech industry grows vulnerable to its Chinese rivals, threatening U.S. geopolitical power in the 21st century.

Although it’s unclear precisely how much more efficient DeepSeek’s models are than, say, ChatGPT, its innovations are real and undermine a core argument that America’s dominant technology firms have been pushing — namely, that they are developing the best artificial intelligence technology the world has to offer, and that technological advances can be achieved only with enormous investment — in computing power, energy generation and cutting-edge chips. For years now, these companies have been arguing that the government must protect them from competition to ensure that America stays ahead.

But let’s not forget that America’s tech giants are awash in cash, computing power and data capacity. They are headquartered in the world’s strongest economy and enjoy the advantages conferred by the rule of law and a free enterprise system. And yet, despite all those advantages — as well as a U.S. government ban on the sales of cutting-edge chips and chip-making equipment to Chinese firms — America’s tech giants have seemingly been challenged on the cheap.

It should be no surprise that our big tech firms are at risk of being surpassed in A.I. innovation by foreign competitors. After companies like Google, Apple and Amazon helped transform the American economy in the 2000s, they maintained their dominance primarily through buying out rivals and building anticompetitive moats around their businesses.

Over the last decade, big tech chief executives have seemed more adept at reinventing themselves to suit the politics of the moment — resistance sympathizers, social justice warriors, MAGA enthusiasts — than on pioneering new pathbreaking innovations and breakthrough technologies.

There have been times when Washington has embraced the argument that certain businesses deserve to be treated as national champions and, as such, to become monopolies with the expectation that they will represent America’s national interests. Those times serve as a cautionary tale.

Boeing was one such star — the aircraft manufacturer’s reputation was so sterling that a former White House adviser during the Clinton administration referred to it as a “de facto national champion,” so important that “you can be an out-and-out advocate for it” in government. This superstar status was such that it likely helped Boeing gain the regulatory green light to absorb its remaining U.S. rival McDonnell Douglas. That 1997 merger played a significant role in damaging Boeing’s culture, leaving it plagued with a host of problems, including safety concerns.

On the other hand, the government’s decision to enforce antitrust laws against what is now AT&T Inc., IBM and Microsoft in the 1970s through the 1990s helped create the market conditions that gave rise to Silicon Valley’s dynamism and America’s subsequent technological lead. America’s bipartisan commitment to maintaining open and competitive markets from the 1930s to the 1980s — a commitment that many European countries and Japan did not share — was critical for generating the broad-based economic growth and technological edge that catapulted the United States to the top of the world order.

While monopolies may offer periodic advances, breakthrough innovations have historically come from disruptive outsiders, in part because huge behemoths rarely want to advance technologies that could displace or cannibalize their own businesses. Mired in red tape and bureaucratic inertia, those companies usually aren’t set up to deliver the seismic efficiencies that hungry start-ups can generate.

The recent history of artificial intelligence demonstrates this pattern. Google developed the groundbreaking Transformer architecture that underlies today’s A.I. revolution in 2017, but the technology was largely underutilized until researchers left to join or to found new companies. It took these independent firms, not the tech giant, to realize the technology’s transformative potential.

At the Federal Trade Commission, I argued that in the arena of artificial intelligence, developers should release enough information about their models to allow smaller players and upstarts to bring their ideas to market without being beholden to dominant firms’ pricing or access restrictions. Competition and openness, not centralization, drive innovation.

In the coming weeks and months, U.S. tech giants may renew their calls for the government to grant them special protections that close off markets and lock in their dominance. Indeed, top executives from these firms appear eager to curry favor and cut deals, which could include asking the federal government to pare back sensible efforts to require adequate testing of models before they are released to the public, or to look the other way when a dominant firm seeks to acquire an upstart competitor.

Enforcers and policymakers should be wary. During the first Trump and then the Biden administrations, antitrust enforcers brought major monopolization lawsuits against those same companies — making the case that by unlawfully buying up or excluding their rivals, these companies had undermined innovation and deprived America of the benefits that free and fair competition delivers. Reversing course would be a mistake. The best way for the United States to stay ahead globally is by promoting competition at home.

Elon Musk’s Five-Pronged Approach to Reducing Government

Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur behind Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter), has long been vocal about his concerns regarding excessive government intervention. Whether it’s through regulatory pushback, decentralization efforts, or technological disruption, Musk is actively working to reduce government influence in five key ways.

1. Challenging Regulatory Overreach

Musk has repeatedly criticized government regulations that he believes stifle innovation. From Tesla’s battles with dealership laws to SpaceX’s friction with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), he has frequently clashed with authorities over what he sees as unnecessary red tape. By publicly pushing back against these restrictions, he aims to set precedents that could lead to reduced regulatory burdens across industries.

2. Privatizing Space Exploration

NASA was once the sole player in space exploration, but SpaceX has shifted the industry toward privatization. By reducing dependence on government-funded programs and proving that private companies can outperform traditional bureaucratic models, Musk is driving a shift away from government monopolization of space travel.

3. Advocating for Free Speech and Decentralization

After acquiring Twitter (now X), Musk positioned himself as a champion of free speech, often criticizing government involvement in content moderation. He has also expressed support for decentralized social media and blockchain technologies, which could reduce reliance on centralized, government-regulated platforms.

4. Developing Alternative Energy and Infrastructure

Tesla’s push for electric vehicles and solar power indirectly challenges government-controlled energy industries. By promoting self-sufficient energy solutions, such as home battery storage and off-grid living, Musk is creating alternatives that reduce reliance on state-controlled utilities and fossil fuel subsidies.

5. Advancing AI and Automation to Limit Government’s Role

Musk has a complex stance on artificial intelligence (AI), both warning about its dangers and investing in its development through xAI. By accelerating automation, he envisions a future where technology reduces the need for bureaucratic inefficiencies, potentially shrinking government involvement in areas like labor regulation and public sector jobs.

Conclusion

Musk’s efforts to reduce government influence aren’t just theoretical; they manifest in tangible actions across multiple industries. Whether he succeeds or not remains to be seen, but his impact is already reshaping the relationship between innovation and regulation.

Five years ago, Jack Ma was not just one of the world’s richest billionaires, but also—perhaps only after President Xi Jinping—the most famous Chinese person in the world.

In the early aughts, Ma built a business empire around his company, Alibaba, which quickly took off as an online shopping juggernaut that first challenged and then outsold Amazon in China, all while branching out into countless other services. For millions of young Chinese people, Ma was their country’s answer to Bill Gates: Ma, a former English teacher, was a self-made man whose example seemed to illustrate the sky-high achievement and wealth that one could attain through a combination of entrepreneurial vision and relentless drive.

In China, Ma was in constant demand, the subject of numerous films and TV shows, while overseas, he became a kind of unofficial face of his country. He operated his own philanthropic organization, paying special attention to Africa just as China was becoming the continent’s leading global partner. He took star turns at Davos. And he bought the struggling English-language Hong Kong newspaper, the South China Morning Post, evincing a willingness to risk losing a great deal of money to revive an old publication with British colonial-era roots and turn it into a globally respected, Chinese-owned news operation.

Then, in 2020, on the eve of what was expected to be one of the biggest initial public offerings (IPOs) in history, Ma’s world was turned upside down as his empire became the target of hostile regulatory actions from the Chinese Communist Party. Authorities canceled the IPO of Ma’s Ant Group (an Alibaba affiliate), levied anti-monopoly actions against his businesses and those of other tech giants, and summoned Ma for hostile lectures and questioning.

Soon, the man who once seemed to be everywhere was scarcely seen at all. To avoid further trouble, without fanfare, he reportedly slipped away to live in a kind of exile in Japan.

In certain ways, Ma’s story is a uniquely Chinese one. It demonstrates the Communist Party’s obsession with control, as the party has long worked to prevent the emergence of a fully independent private sector in China. It is also part of the saga of Xi, who has worked hard to concentrate power in his own hands and who brooks no rivals in public attention and adulation.

Yet the humbling of Ma—and an entire class of other newly minted, mega-rich tech entrepreneurs in China—also speaks profoundly to political developments in the United States surrounding President Donald Trump’s reconquest of power after four years out of office.

In bringing this new class of business titans to heel, China’s leaders made a carefully considered strategic decision about the direction of their country’s political economy. In effect, they were saying that Beijing would never grant a dominant role to the extraordinarily lucrative and freewheeling private technology sector. Put slightly differently, that sector would have no sacred cows and would never be allowed to cast a shadow on the party and state.

In the emerging Trump regime, we are seeing just the opposite. The administration is a collection of billionaires that almost mindlessly celebrates wealth. On his first full day in office, for example, Trump gathered in the White House with two of the world’s richest men—Larry Ellison of Oracle and Masayoshi Son of Softbank—along with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to salute the launch of a new project called Stargate, billed as a $500 billion joint venture to build artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Trump’s explanation for why this merited his support was almost childishly vapid. “AI seems to be very hot,” he said. “It seems to be the thing that a lot of smart people are looking at very strongly.”

So far, few details about the project are known. But as Washington Post coverage suggests, the companies investing vast amounts of money in AI are almost giddy that, unlike the Biden administration, the new White House seems willing to largely let the tech giants make up their own rules as free from regulation as possible.

The centrality of tech titans to Trump’s ambitions is, of course, best captured by one man: Elon Musk. Many of the richest and most powerful U.S. businesspeople were on hand for—and helped fund—Trump’s inauguration festivities, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. But it is Musk who has dominated the scene ever since Trump tapped him to help downsize the government and streamline regulations outside of any traditional institutional framework.

To say that this invites concerns about conflicts of interest doesn’t begin to capture the extraordinary partnership between Musk and Trump. In contrast with Xi’s China, Musk and big tech capital are rubbing out the lines between business and the state.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), headed by Musk, has now officially become part of the U.S. government. Originally, DOGE was set to be co-led by Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. But as the Post reported, their visions for the organization diverged—and Musk’s prevailed. Whereas Ramaswamy favored an approach based on legal strategies and a mastery of regulatory arcana, Musk seeks to place technology at the center of streamlining efforts.

Musk built his world-beating fortune through technology. It would not be unreasonable to expect that the access he gains to government data while working for Trump and the tech tools that he chooses to pursue will profit him immensely. On Inauguration Day, Musk even promoted his aspiration of landing humans on Mars—a long-held goal for his company SpaceX—as a national project, saying, “We’re going to take DOGE to Mars.”

The following day, Musk, seemingly unafraid of Trump’s ire, rushed to cast doubt on the Stargate venture. As in so much other technology, Musk is a player in AI, too, and one can readily imagine that knocking Stargate was a way to further his own interests.

China has not reined in its tech sector out of any belief in democracy, but rather through a seeming understanding that the new forces of wealth, data, intelligence, information, commerce, and communications can hijack a country’s political system and lead it into dangerously uncharted territory.

Trump, who betrays little technical sophistication, has done the opposite, as he has embraced the big tech sector and celebrated its wealthiest. If this is not challenged, the world might one day look back at this time as the moment when the U.S. state was captured.

The Hidden Harmony: Gaia, UFOs, and the AI Enigma

The cosmic triad of Gaia, UFOs, and AI, while shrouded in mystery, beckons us to explore the unseen threads that weave our world and its phenomena into a cohesive tapestry. At the heart of this triad lies the Gaian Theory, a paradigm that elegantly simplifies the Earth's intricate web of life and physical processes into a single, self-regulating entity. Gaia, in this context, is not merely a planet but a dynamic, responsive system that adjusts its myriad components to maintain homeostasis.

This holistic view encourages us to consider the Earth's reactions to both internal and external stimuli as part of a unified response, rather than isolated events. The theory's emphasis on emergence—the phenomenon where complex systems exhibit behaviors unpredictable from their parts—leaves an intriguing doorway open for the consideration of unexplained phenomena, such as UFO sightings, as potential manifestations of Gaia's self-regulatory processes.

UFOs, by their very nature, challenge our current scientific understanding, embodying the unknown in the skies. While explanations range from the mundane to the extraterrestrial, considering UFOs within the Gaian framework offers a novel perspective. Could these aerial phenomena represent an emergent property of the Earth's system, a response to environmental stressors or technological intrusions into Gaia's balance? This speculative connection invites a reevaluation of UFO sightings, not as isolated incidents, but as potential indicators of the Earth's adaptive mechanisms, highlighting the planet's resilience and capacity for self-preservation.

The rapid ascent of Artificial Intelligence mirrors aspects of the Earth's self-regulatory system in its capacity for adaptation, learning, and the exhibition of emergent behaviors. Advanced AI systems, much like Gaia, can respond to their environment in unforeseen ways, challenging their creators' understanding. This parallel between AI's emergent properties and Gaia's self-regulation suggests a deeper, universal principle of complexity, where systems, whether technological or natural, exhibit behaviors that transcend their constituent parts.

Exploring the connections between Gaia, UFOs, and AI can profoundly enhance our understanding of complex systems, potentially uncovering novel principles governing their behavior. This, in turn, could provide a framework for understanding UFO sightings, revealing them as part of the Earth's response to its environment, rather than mere anomalies. Moreover, recognizing the Earth as a unified, responsive system, mirrored in the complexity of AI, could guide more harmonious human development, emphasizing sustainability and symbiosis with our planet.

As we delve into the mysteries of our planet, the skies, and our technological creations, we are reminded of the profound interconnectedness of all things, from the Earth's ecosystems to the farthest reaches of technological innovation. The true marvel lies not in the phenomena themselves, but in the hidden harmonies that bind them, reflecting the intricate beauty of the universe and our place within it. Through this speculative journey, we are encouraged to embrace a more holistic worldview, one that seeks to understand the Earth, the cosmos, and our technological endeavors as intertwined facets of a greater whole.

Why AI Needs Us More Than We Need AI

In the modern era, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a transformative force, reshaping industries, enhancing efficiencies, and creating groundbreaking opportunities. However, amidst the excitement, it's essential to recognize that AI is not a standalone solution. Its existence and success hinge on human ingenuity, creativity, and ethical oversight.

The Human Role in AI Development

AI systems, no matter how advanced, are the products of human effort. From initial conceptualization to algorithm development, humans are the architects of AI. These systems rely on human-curated data to learn and evolve. Without accurate, diverse, and unbiased data provided by humans, AI models risk being ineffective or perpetuating societal biases.

Furthermore, human expertise is critical in defining the objectives and boundaries of AI applications. For instance, an AI used in healthcare must be tailored to specific medical scenarios, a process that requires domain knowledge from professionals in the field. This collaboration between AI and human experts ensures that the technology addresses real-world challenges effectively.

Ethical Oversight and Accountability

One of the most vital aspects where humans play a pivotal role is in ethical decision-making. AI lacks the moral compass to discern right from wrong. Decisions involving fairness, privacy, and societal impact must be guided by human values. Without this oversight, AI could exacerbate inequalities or infringe on individual rights.

Regulatory frameworks and ethical guidelines developed by humans act as guardrails for AI deployment. These frameworks ensure that AI is used responsibly and aligns with societal norms. For example, determining the boundaries of facial recognition technology in public spaces is a human-driven decision, balancing security needs with privacy concerns.

Innovation Through Collaboration

While AI can process vast amounts of information faster than humans, it cannot replicate human creativity and emotional intelligence. Many innovations stem from human intuition, curiosity, and the ability to think abstractly. By working alongside AI, humans can leverage the technology’s strengths while providing the imaginative spark that drives true innovation.

Fields like art, design, and storytelling highlight this synergy. AI can generate ideas or assist in tasks, but the essence of creativity remains uniquely human. This collaborative dynamic fosters groundbreaking advancements that neither humans nor AI could achieve alone.

Why AI Depends on Us

At its core, AI is a tool. It requires human input to function and evolve. The algorithms, hardware, and infrastructure that power AI are all designed and maintained by humans. Moreover, the continuous improvement of AI systems depends on ongoing research and experimentation—activities driven by human intellect.

AI also lacks the capacity for independent thought, emotional understanding, and context awareness. These are fundamental human traits that guide nuanced decision-making and problem-solving. Without these qualities, AI would be limited to executing predefined tasks, incapable of adapting to complex, dynamic environments.

The Human-AI Partnership

Rather than viewing AI as a replacement for human effort, it should be seen as a partner that amplifies our abilities. This partnership can unlock unparalleled opportunities, but it’s humans who will steer the course. By setting goals, providing context, and ensuring ethical practices, we remain the driving force behind AI’s impact on society.

Conclusion

While AI holds immense potential, it ultimately depends on human expertise, creativity, and values to realize its promise. As we integrate AI into more aspects of our lives, it’s crucial to remember that this technology needs us more than we need it. By embracing our role as its creators and stewards, we can ensure that AI serves humanity responsibly and effectively.

MUNICH—At the Munich Security Conference (MSC) this past weekend, it was nearly impossible to find a session or speech that did not mention energy security. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine nearly three years ago triggered a major energy crisis on the continent. While the peak of the crisis, driven by Russian President Vladimir Putin, has subsided, Europe’s energy problems are far from resolved. In Munich, leaders and policymakers worried that the continuing energy crisis is weighing heavily on European defense capabilities, economic development, and geopolitical relations.  

Unlike in 2022, when Russia manufactured an abrupt gas supply shortage, today’s energy threats are more gradual in nature. For example, undersea electricity and energy cables are being cut, and the suspected vessels are often part of Russia’s shadow fleet. Such attacks should still be taken seriously by the European Union (EU) and its partners both for the real damage they cause and because Russia could ramp up such attacks on short notice. In addition, kinetic and cyberattacks on the electricity grid, remaining gas supply issues and chokepoints, and high energy prices compound the danger.  

However, it is possible for Europeans to address these threats to their energy security and mitigate potential damage to their societies and economies. It is reassuring, too, that the message that came out of Munich was one of unity and a desire to act. But now that leaders and policymakers have decamped from the Bavarian capital and returned home, what will happen next? Will Europeans sleep through these issues or take action? What should Europe do, and should member states or the EU take the reins?  

Brussels and beyond 

Over the past several decades, EU funding has enabled a massive build-out of grid and pipeline infrastructure on the continent. Considering the cross-border nature, risk, and scale of these projects, EU engagement was vital. It was also vital during the 2022 energy crisis, during which the EU increased its work on energy security. Today, too, current threats would be partially curtailed by the EU building additional infrastructure. However, as the European energy system goes through unprecedented transformation—electrification, digitalization, market interconnection, artificial intelligence integration, and further supply diversification—Brussels should not act alone. A multi-pronged approach is required to create and secure the energy system of tomorrow. 

One reason a multi-pronged approach is needed is because of because of budget constraints. The COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s intentional energy blackmail scheme, which cost Europe one trillion dollars, has left the EU coffers and many national budgets in a tight spot. There is still no vision around a shared borrowing scheme. European countries and other allies are rightfully prioritizing borrowing money to provide Ukraine with a significant influx of military support. This is especially the case following recent remarks from US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance that suggest the United States will decrease its support for Ukraine and, potentially, for Europe as a whole.  

However, the lack of funding is not the only barrier. Another frequently mentioned concern at the MSC was the challenging regulatory environment in Europe, as some member states take a more stringent approach to interpreting EU regulations at the national level. This difficulty is further compounded by geopolitical uncertainty. Thousands of companies operating in Europe are impacted by the sweeping environmental and societal disclosure mandates from the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, and methane regulations.  

All aboard the omnibus  

The new EU leadership should be commended for responding to these calls by focusing on the promising omnibus legislation and sending a strong message with its competitiveness compass—a roadmap for boosting European competitiveness. The European Commission is expected to unveil the omnibus, intended to streamline the EU’s sustainability reporting, in late February or March.  

There is plenty of irony in reducing regulations by rolling out another regulation, but the omnibus a tangible, timely, and thoughtful solution. If done right, it could provide needed certainty for investors and developers. The EU could accomplish this by outlining the scope of the existing and incoming regulations and by reducing costs for non-value-added certification, measurements, and verifications. Most important, the EU should make it easier for the private sector to reach common-sense objectives in a reasonable timeline, with eyes on the end goals rather than on processes and paperwork. This could also help create a more coordinated regulatory environment across the EU member states.  

By simplifying its rules, the EU could encourage member states to harmonize their implementation of the regulations. Differences in implementation can create confusion and additional expenses for companies looking to deploy projects across multiple EU countries.  

Reducing regulatory burdens by getting rid of non-value-added bureaucratic steps could also invite more US private sector partnerships, while transatlantic geopolitical and trade tensions settle. The European Commission’s new leadership does not need to sacrifice its carbon emissions reduction and environmental integrity efforts to address incoming energy sector threats. The omnibus could be the first step—and an impactful one.
