Washington has doled out billions in lucrative federal subsidies and contracts to the cash-rich sector, bloating an AI bubble that experts warn may imperil the entire economy while prohibiting any guardrails on the fast-moving technology.

The Emily Hart case shows the gap between what platforms say about AI transparency and what users actually see in their feeds.
The state’s top judge in its Court of Appeals warned legal filings that likely have fake information created by AI are “rapidly escalating.” These entries, she said, may be a drain on resources.
