The Download: saving the US climate programs, and America’s AI protections are under threat
Nonprofits and academia are working to maintain US climate programs amid concerns about the Trump administration's dismantling of federal efforts. The Data Foundation is fundraising for an initiative to enhance the accuracy of climate emissions data, following Biden's previous efforts nullified by Trump. Meanwhile, the Federal Trade Commission's actions against AI companies are being reviewed under Trump's AI Action Plan, potentially leading to quicker AI deployment with fewer safeguards. Additionally, a controversial gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Elevidys, has been linked to the deaths of two teenagers, impacting those seeking treatments for the disorder.
