AI has huge implications for more than just businesses. It can now read tiny ground shifts from space, spot unstable slopes and help warn villages before landslides or avalanches strike. A powerful example of how data and innovation can save lives, not just make life easier. bbc.com/future/article…

Economic impact reports matter. They show how a show supports real jobs, wages and local tax revenue. At CTA, we back our CES numbers with third‑party audits so cities, exhibitors and partners see the full value of bringing the world’s most powerful tech event to their destination. tsnn.com/trade-shows-co…

We applaud the Supreme Court's unanimous decision in today's Cox Communications case, holding that a broadband service provider is not liable for copyright infringement by users of its service. Platforms like broadband, telecommunications, and cable are tools — like motor vehicles, computers, or recording devices. As SCOTUS affirmed, providers of these digital tools should not be held legally responsible if users choose to use them for unauthorized or illegal purposes.

Congress should advance this bill quickly. Support for quantum R&D, workforce, and resilient supply chains keeps the U.S. at the forefront of next-gen tech.

This week, Senate Commerce marks up a bipartisan bill to reauthorize the National Quantum Initiative. The NQI boosts a U.S.-led quantum future, advancing research, commercialization, and strong supply chains. Thanks @SenToddYoung and @SenatorCantwell for your leadership!

The Chip Security Act, as drafted, erodes trust in U.S. tech. There is no proven way to embed reliable location verification inside AI chips. Forcing it will raise costs, introduce new cybersecurity risks, and push global customers toward foreign rivals. That undermines American AI leadership at exactly the wrong moment.

In South Korea, an autonomous firefighting robot can enter 1,000° blazes to protect first responders and map safe paths. Real-world innovation that saves lives.popsci.com/technology/fir…

This is why quantum matters: entirely new ways to store and deliver energy are starting to take shape. gizmodo.com/this-may-be-th…

@JDGrossman put it clearly: if we don’t act now, we risk a fragmented patchwork of AI laws that holds back innovation. A unified, national approach to AI policy matters. pymnts.com/cpi-posts/whit…

Chile is a remarkable country—an innovation hub rich in entrepreneurship, science, and natural resources. But what impressed me most this week was witnessing democracy in action: a peaceful transfer of power between leaders. My reflections: linkedin.com/posts/gary-sha…

Siemens is joining the Genesis Mission! This exciting collaboration with @ENERGY will crucially expand U.S. AI infrastructure, speeding up AI deployment in the real world.

What if AI worked more like the human brain? New research using insights from primate neurons shows it’s possible to build far smaller, more efficient AI models—potentially transforming everything from robotics to autonomous systems. npr.org/2026/03/03/nx-…

180 TSA employees called in sick today at AA Miami terminal says an official. On a lengthy line w/ global visitors I am sad our legislators put party interests first- using frontline employees keeping us safe as their pawns. What an embarrassment for the US!

@CTATech’s research shows 74% of Americans believe TV features should be driven by consumer demand—not government mandates. The best path forward is a voluntary, market-driven approach that protects choice and keeps costs down. content-technology.com/media-business…

AI is becoming essential to how businesses operate. As companies adopt AI agents and intelligent systems, the focus must be on upskilling workers and building a workforce ready for this new era of productivity. techradar.com/pro/this-isnt-…

@DarrellIssa You spent decades bringing an innovator’s mindset to Congress. A successful entrepreneur, you fought to strengthen our IP system, take on patent trolls, and defend the internet as the greatest platform for free speech and innovation ever created. Thank you Darrell!

Statement by Congressman Darrell Issa Today I’m announcing my enthusiastic endorsement of Supervisor Jim Desmond for Congress - to represent California’s new 48th district. Jim is not only a personal friend, he’s a true patriot, a Navy veteran, a successful businessman, and has a 20-year record of public service. He understands this community, was born and raised here, and will make a terrific Congressman. This decision has been on my mind for a while and I didn’t make it lightly. First, we built the right campaign infrastructure, support has been overwhelming — including from President Trump — and our polling was unmistakable: We would win this race. But after a quarter-century in Congress — and before that, a quarter-century in business — it’s the right time for a new chapter and new challenges. Serving in Congress has been the honor of my life, and every day my teams in Washington and California have worked to deliver for our constituents — like most recently gaining the Congressional Medal of Honor for the Secret Soldier of the Korean War, the great Royce Williams. A point about our campaign on behalf of Captain Williams: For a decade, my team and I waged a nonstop fight for Royce, and we were turned down on his behalf more times than I can remember. But that all changed this year. President Trump made Royce’s award possible, and when I witnessed the First Lady place the Medal of Honor on my hero, it was more than just a job done. It felt like a career accomplishment. There is still work to be done throughout 2026 both in Washington and my beloved current 48th District - and as many days that remain, I’ll dedicate each one of them to the people I serve and the indispensable nation I have sworn to protect as a soldier in the Army and as a proud and grateful Member of the People’s House of Representatives.

The Trump Administration’s decision to continue the ENERGY STAR program under the leadership of @ENERGY is a win for American consumers and the technology industry. cta.tech/press-releases…

Fantastic @Cato conversation on #Section230 with @billyez2, @ashken, @AriCohn & @dr_inserra. My take: Section 230 supports American values. It’s the first amendment for digital speech, and it allows new businesses and platforms big and small to be created and flourish. cato.org/events/section…
