On Monday, the Australian government issued formal “expectations” for data center and AI infrastructure developers wanting to operate within the country. The five expectations include handling their own electricity generation capacity with clean energy and paying for energy infrastructure and transmission costs, sustainable and efficient water usage, and investment in the Australian workforce and skills. The expectations also state access must be enabled for ‘Australian start-ups, innovative small businesses, researchers and not-for-profits on favourable terms’ as well as prioritizing Australia’s national security and data sovereignty.

Reuters reports the European Association of Commercial Television and Video on Demand Services (ACT) called on EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera to designate makers of smart TVs as ‘gatekeepers’ under the Digital Markets Act, using data from a 2025 study. Amazon’s Fire OS and Samsung’s Tizen OS were specifically named as examples as Android TV increased market share from 16% to 23% from 2019 to 2024. In the letter the broadcasters said, “It is crucial that the Commission designate major TV operating systems ​as gatekeepers and ensure adequate oversight to guarantee fairness and contestability”. The letter further notes smart TVs should be included under the DMA even if they do not meet the standard requirements of 45 million monthly active users and 75 billion euros ($87 ​billion USD) market capitalization.

The government of Mexico City launched a chatbot on WhatsApp to aid tourists during the 2026 FIFA World Cup and remain active beyond the event. The chatbot, named Xoli (read:sho-lee), provides info and answers questions in English or Spanish regarding tourism, cultural offerings, gastronomy, mobility, and other services. Xoli is available now, operating 24/7.

Digital Trends reports a recent build of Google Translate shows an AI-powered “Practice” mode. The mode will help users improve their pronunciation by listening to native speakers’ pronunciations and submitting their own attempts, with AI analyzing and grading the attempt. It will also suggest ways to improve, including providing a phonetic breakdown of words to simplify the process. The feature is likely to roll out in stages with select language pairs like English and Spanish.

Motorsports simulator iRacing will be available on Apple Vision Pro this spring through a collaboration with Apple and NVIDIA. iRacing, which features LIDAR-scanned real-world tracks and cars and partners with various racing organizations, will launch alongside visionOS 26.4 and NVIDIA’s CloudXR 6.0 streaming platform. iRacing, being a hardcore sim, is generally limited to a cockpit view and on Apple Vision Pro racers will be able to view their physical hands on the wheel, aiming to replicate the same experience as in a racing cockpit.

Game developer Pearl Abyss launched a “comprehensive” audit of in-game assets after gamers discovered a bunch of AI-generated art in the newly released open world game Crimson Desert. The AI art was not originally disclosed as required by Steam’s AI Content policy, only added after being called out. In a statement the Korean company said, “We sincerely apologize for these oversights” and the AI assets will be replaced in future patches. Crimson Desert’s Steam launch had nearly 250,000 players and the Meta Critic score sits at 78. The next patch is expected to focus on correcting complicated controls. In the meantime, Pearl Abyss suggests using a controller for Crimson Desert.

Elon Musk Misled Twitter Investors

A jury found Elon Musk defrauded Twitter investors in 2022 by misrepresenting fake account numbers while renegotiating his $44 billion buyout. Jurors said his statements intentionally drove down the stock price but rejected two of four fraud claims. Damages, potentially in the billions, will be determined later. Musk’s team plans to appeal.

Google Testing AI-Rewritten Headlines

Google is experimenting with AI-generated news headlines in search results, sometimes changing meaning and style. The company says the pilot is small and also affects non-news content, aiming to better match titles to queries. Previously, Google only shortened or slightly adjusted headlines, but full rewrites risk misrepresenting stories.

Pinterest CEO Calls for Social Media Ban for Kids

Bill Ready urged governments to ban social media for users under 16, citing studies linking unrestricted access to depression, anxiety, and reduced focus. He praised Australia’s restrictions and compared negligent tech CEOs to 20th-century tobacco executives. Pinterest limited social features for minors while maintaining Gen Z engagement. Other countries exploring bans include Malaysia, Spain, Indonesia, France, and Germany.

FBI Resumes Buying Americans’ Location Data

The FBI has resumed purchasing large amounts of Americans’ data and location histories from data brokers to aid in federal investigations, a practice confirmed by Director Kash Patel. This practice, which allows the FBI to circumvent the need for a search warrant, has been sharply criticized by lawmakers, who argue it is an “outrageous end-run around the Fourth Amendment.” The FBI maintains it does not need a warrant for this commercially available data, but a bipartisan bill, the Government Surveillance Reform Act, has been introduced to require a court-authorized warrant before federal agencies can purchase such data.

Google Expands Data Center Power Agreements

Google has signed “demand response” agreements with five U.S. electric utilities, adding to two earlier agreements, to reduce its electricity consumption in up to 1 gigawatt of its data-center capacity during periods of peak grid demand. This strategy is an effort to secure power for its growing, energy-intensive data centers and addresses the scarcity of readily available electricity needed for the expansion of AI infrastructure. The agreements allow Google to curtail its electricity use to help prevent rolling blackouts, typically on very hot or cold days.

Meta AI Agent Triggers Internal Security Incident

An internal, unprompted AI agent at Meta caused a two-hour security incident when it responded to an employee’s query on an internal forum with advice. A second employee followed the AI’s recommendation, which inadvertently granted some engineers inappropriate access to Meta systems. Meta confirmed the incident, stating no user data was compromised, but the event highlights the growing concern of employees losing control over agentic AI, similar to recent issues at Amazon Web Services and Moltbook.

Meta Launches Creator Fast Track Program

In other Meta news, the company has launched the Creator Fast Track program to motivate established TikTok and YouTube creators to post Reels (short-form videos) on Facebook. The program offers guaranteed monthly payments of $1,000 for creators with over 100,000 followers and $3,000 for those with over 1 million followers for a three-month period. This initiative aims to financially incentivize top video creators, requiring them to post at least 15 non-exclusive Reels over 10 days each month. Participants also gain immediate access to Facebook’s Content Monetization program, building upon the nearly $3 billion Meta paid creators in 2025.

Mozilla Adds Free Built-In VPN to Firefox

Mozilla is launching a free, browser-integrated VPN in Firefox version 149, set for release on March 24, 2026. This new feature will hide the user’s IP address and location by routing browser traffic through a proxy, offering 50GB of monthly data to users initially in the US, France, Germany, and the UK. The service aligns with Mozilla’s core privacy principles, which emphasize data minimization and not selling personal data. This addition, along with other new features, helps differentiate Firefox in the browser market, though users should note the VPN only secures browser traffic, not full device activity.
