    Meta halts update to commercial terms after widespread opposition to AI training conditions

    Meta announces suspension of the commercial terms update scheduled to take effect on November 20, which requires business accounts to allow Meta to use their website content as AI training data, drawing strong opposition from journalists and users.

    Meta points out that anti-data center sentiment will intensify after the midterm elections, making AI expansion more difficult

    Meta executive Dina Powell McCormick said that a Democratic victory in the midterm elections will make it very difficult for companies to build data centers, and noted that the industry 'has not explained the benefits of these investments as well as we need to.' She pointed out that the backlash against data centers - which has been a major focus during this election season - is also related to people's overall feelings about AI technology. Meta believes that if it can show how data centers benefit local communities and the values of the technology itself, it can turn around negative consumer sentiment towards AI.

Elected officials have promised to summon CEOs of AI companies to testify, and experts believe that Trump and the Republican Party in Congress have basically ended their efforts to ban state-level AI restrictions.

    Why it matters: The midterm election results and the vote on local data center bans provide specific signals for observing the direction of US AI regulation.

    Agility Robotics' debut on Nasdaq prompts scrutiny of the humanoid robot market

    Agility Robotics has become the first professional humanoid robot developer to list on the Nasdaq in the United States. In its prospectus, it frankly acknowledges that the large-scale application of humanoid robots has not yet been realized, and commercialization is still not widespread.

Its co-founder and chief robot officer, Jonathan Hurst, stated that when operating on a service model, customers have lower risk because they can quickly recoup their investment, and the fees are comparable to labor costs.
