November 23, 2025, 2:52 AM EST. Bloomberg reports that US officials are in early talks to allow Nvidia to sell its H200 AI chips to China, a potential shift in export controls. The H200 sits on the Hopper architecture, with higher-end Blackwell coming later; current shipments to China are limited to the degraded H20. The discussions reflect a policy tug-of-war: some believe allowing higher-end chips would keep China tethered to US technology and offer a strategic advantage, while others warn it could boost Chinese military AI capabilities. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has pushed for any sale; the Trump administration has shown openness in discussions. If sanctioned, China would gain access to more capable, globally important AI chips from a major supplier.

November 23, 2025, 2:48 AM EST. At a parliamentary hearing, former Lowell state representative David Nangle testified against proposed internet gaming (iGaming) legislation, warning that legalizing online casino gambling could fuel addiction. Nangle, who served prison time on campaign-finance and debt-related charges, argued that iGaming is not progress but a gateway to harm. Lawmakers, including Rep. David Muradian Jr., introduced H 4431 to regulate internet gambling, allowing the state's three casinos-Plainridge Park, MGM Springfield, and Encore Boston Harbor-to offer up to three online brands or skins apiece under the purview of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. The bill would set age limits, geolocation, and verification requirements to bring online gambling out of the shadows. Meanwhile, the state's iLottery efforts and ongoing policy debate leave questions about how far to expand gaming and whether new revenue would offset costs without raising taxes.

November 23, 2025, 2:44 AM EST. President Donald Trump is exploring an executive order to pressure states to stop regulating AI and to withhold federal funding or sue to block state laws. The draft order would spur a lighter, nationwide framework to override state AI rules. Some in Congress seek a temporary block on state AI laws. Proponents say current state regulations risk stifling innovation and could lag behind rapid tech advances. Critics warn it would shield big AI firms from scrutiny and undermine civil liberties, data privacy, and consumer protections. So far, Colorado, California, Utah, and Texas have enacted targeted AI measures on transparency and risk assessments; other rules ban deepfakes in elections or govern government use of AI. The draft order is not final.
