Longtime watchers of the tech ecosystem are nervous about giving the frontier AI labs an antitrust waiver.

States have signed more than 40 new health care-related AI laws as Congress stalls on federal AI regulation. Meanwhile, data center operators are increasingly relying on natural gas as a reliable energy source.
