📌 Meta is making waves by building Hyperion – a 10 billion USD super data center in Louisiana that consumes twice the electricity of New Orleans, paving the way for the AI superintelligence race. Hyperion consists of 9 buildings covering an area of approximately 37 hectares. Entergy will build 3 new gas-fired power plants with a total capacity of 2.3 GW – the first new power plant project in the region in decades. Meta will cover the electricity costs for the first 15 years and has committed to building 1.5 GW of solar power and battery storage. The Hyperion project…

📌 The U.S. is facing a legal showdown between Big Tech and the states: while 5 states already have AI laws and over 500 other bills are pending, corporations like OpenAI, Google, and Meta want to prevent separate AI laws in 50 states and shift the focus to regulating AI applications. In July 2025, the White House released the Trump AI plan, recommending “halting federal funding to states with ‘overly restrictive’ AI laws.” The states are pushing back to retain their right to protect their citizens. The battle over AI legislation in the U.S. is expected to intensify. Tổng hợp.

📌 South Korea is emerging as the fastest adopter of AI: 51.8% of workers use AI for work, double the rate in the US.

ChatGPT dominates with 67.8% of users, making South Korea the second-largest market for paid subscriptions globally. Although 50% have not yet saved time, the majority remain optimistic and are willing to invest 38 trillion won (~$27.3 billion) in the future of AI. https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10556946

📌 Johor, Malaysia is booming with a future of 5,800 MW of data center capacity, which could consume 20% of Malaysia’s electricity by 2035. A 100 MW center requires about 4.2 million liters/day for cooling. The government is investing in new reservoirs, applying high water prices, and promoting recycling, but still faces the risk of conflicting with its 2050 net-zero target. The industry once caused Johor to import water from Singapore, raising concerns about resource security. The Malaysian government is calling for a shift to recycled water and waterless cooling data centers. Malaysia is preparing to launch a “Sustainable Data…

📌 Malaysia is forging a “fourth path” for AI with digital sovereignty (projected $26.18 billion by 2028), LLMU – a multilingual AI model, and NurAI – the first Shariah-compliant chatbot. Unlike the US, Chinese, and European models, Malaysia chooses prosocial AI, turning ethics and sustainability into a competitive advantage. This AI strategy treats technology as a tool for ecological regeneration and cultural preservation, positioning Malaysia as a postcolonial AI model. https://www.forbes.com/sites/corneliawalther/2025/08/14/a-fourth-path-malaysias-quiet-ai-revolution

📌 The US GSA is officially providing the free AI platform USAi to federal agencies, supporting chatbots, code writing, document summarization, and integrating 6 major models (Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic). A trial with over 1,000 GSA employees showed that code writing time was reduced from weeks to hours, and data analysis became many times faster. With its secure, FISMA-compliant multi-tenant architecture, USAi marks a new step forward for the US government in the practical application of AI. https://federalnewsnetwork.com/artificial-intelligence/2025/08/agencies-now-have-access-to-no-cost-ai-platform-from-gsa/

📌 India is launching an RDI program worth INR 1 trillion ($12 billion) to leverage AI, quantum, defense, and energy to achieve its comprehensive development goals by 2047.
