From Injury to Innovation: Mary Springowski’s Crusade to Transform Lorain with Microchips and The Great American Mobilization
The Major U.S. Microchip Initiative
Ever since a 2016 mishap, Mary Springowski has had an intense fascination with microchips. During that year, a heavily laden cart carrying parts at a Ford factory in the northeastern region of Ohio collided with her leg, causing a severe injury to her Achilles tendon that incapacitated her for several weeks.
With 25 years of experience at Ford and within the United Auto Workers union, Springowski led a team at the Cleveland Engine Plant, where they manufactured engines for various vehicles. Additionally, she served on the city council of her native Lorain, Ohio, located roughly 25 miles westward along Lake Erie's shores. Lorain, a community of approximately 65,000 residents, once flourished thanks to its manufacturing sector, including ship and car production, as well as steel and bronze forging. One plant was particularly notable for producing almost 16 million Ford vehicles, such as Thunderbirds, Fairlanes, and Falcons, over nearly 50 years before its shutdown in 2005. Nowadays, Lorain's industrial landscape is primarily marked by two major steel factories, with one having ceased operations earlier in the year of Springowski's incident and the other having recently cut 800 jobs due to global market pressures. According to Springowski, Lorain is facing significant challenges.
Following her injury, Springowski found herself spending extensive periods reclining on her sofa, her laptop propped open and her leg propped up, as she delved into addressing the challenges faced by Lorain. The Environmental Protection Agency had recently mandated the city to undertake extensive and costly upgrades to its deteriorating sewer system. In response, the city had plans to hike up water rates, a move that was met with public outcry. This situation prompted Springowski to ponder over the significance of water, especially considering Lorain's advantageous location by Lake Erie and at the entrance of the Black River, one of its significant tributaries. Curious, she turned to Google to research, "Which industries are the largest consumers of water in their production processes?"
Before long, she discovered the solution: semiconductor chips. It became clear that manufacturers globally were concerned about water shortages. Springowski took to Facebook, highlighting that Lorain possessed a crucial resource for the chip industry: an abundant water supply. She became convinced that the semiconductor sector would be Lorain's salvation and continuously advocated for this idea over several years. "It's simply the way I think," she explained to me.
The severe worldwide shortage of semiconductors during the Covid-19 crisis caught many by surprise and finally drew attention to the issue. According to Springowski, the production line where she was employed began experiencing significant delays. Engines ready for installation in vehicles were left idle, she explains, as the cars themselves were on hold due to a lack of chips, leaving newer employees to rely on unemployment benefits. "People were struggling to afford fuel," she mentions.
Springowski discovered that the United Auto Workers were advocating for domestic chip production in the US, prompting her to reach out to union heads and a congresswoman from Ohio via email. She suggested they consider Lorain for their chip manufacturing needs. Despite receiving no response, Springowski remained persistent. She expressed her enthusiasm on Facebook a year later, emphasizing that this was a major opportunity, comparable to the significance of the shipyards and Ford in the past, using the phrase, "We have a GOLDEN opportunity here!!!"

Eventually, Springowski decided the best approach was to tackle the issue at its root. She reopened the email initially sent to the UAW, revised its content, and embarked on a mission to identify and contact the leaders of semiconductor manufacturing firms. To secure the contact information for Pat Gelsinger, the chief executive of Intel—a leading global semiconductor firm—she invested $3.99 on RocketReach.com. On April 28, 2021, amidst a period when her Ford factory was experiencing a parts shortage, Springowski took action and began dispatching emails. She targeted Gelsinger and the heads of nearly a dozen chip-making companies, advocating for Lorain as an ideal location. She highlighted the city's ample freshwater supply, its strategic position near a major port, accessible roads, and railways, along with a community college ready to equip a new generation of workers.
Concluding her plea, Springowski's characteristic zest shone through. "Let's find a method to achieve this! We're considering all options and everything is up for debate and review!"
The following day, Springowski got a reply from the senior director of state government relations at Intel. He mentioned that the company was currently selecting a location for a new group of chip-manufacturing facilities, marking the first new Intel location in the US in many years. Ohio wasn't even on the list of potential sites until Springowski's email came through. "I'm open to discussing what Intel is looking for in a site and the possibilities for Lorain," he stated, proposing a meeting the very next day. Springowski's shout from the living room was so loud, it seemed as though a tragedy had occurred.
"What did you say?!" her spouse shouted in response from the cooking area.
"Intel has responded!"
"Absolutely not!"
"Absolutely no chance."
A virtual meeting was set up. Springowski brought in representatives from Lorain's Port and Finance Authority and later involved teams focused on regional economic growth. In time, she established direct communication with Gelsinger.
Unbeknownst to Springowski, the CEO was actively engaged in an extensive effort to convince Congress to significantly fund U.S. chip production at that time. The goal was to bring back the semiconductor industry to American soil after years of being overshadowed by Taiwan's leading chipmaker TSMC and the runner-up, Samsung from South Korea. This initiative was driven by concerns for national security; the microchip supply chain had completely collapsed amid the Covid pandemic, highlighting the vulnerability to potential disruptions, such as natural disasters or a hypothetical military conflict involving China and Taiwan.
Semiconductors have become ubiquitous, finding their way into automobiles, mobile devices, cooling appliances, defense armaments, and significantly, fueling the advancements in artificial intelligence, a priority for numerous decision-makers currently. The United States' production of these critical components has significantly declined, representing just 12 percent of global output, a steep drop from its 37 percent share in 1990. Presently, Asia dominates the market, producing 70 percent of the world's semiconductors.
Gelsinger emphasized to political leaders that TSMC, Samsung, and more recently, Chinese semiconductor manufacturers have benefited significantly from their respective government subsidies. He stated that for the US to effectively compete, it would need similar governmental backing. Demonstrating Intel's commitment, Gelsinger announced in January 2022, that eight months following his initial virtual meeting with Springowski, Intel would launch a major project in Ohio. This project, valued at $28 billion, would not only create thousands of jobs but also represent the biggest investment ever in the state's history.
The massive cargo traverses through the countryside of southern Ohio.
During that summer, the legislative body approved the CHIPS and Science Act, allocating over $52 billion in various forms of financial assistance, such as grants and loans, to semiconductor producers. Intel received the biggest share, with $8.5 billion in grants and $11 billion in loans. This legislation, initiated during President Trump's tenure and enacted by President Biden, represents an exceptionally uncommon agreement between the two administrations on strategies for generating employment in the US and addressing competition from China.
Intel is grappling with a significant legacy of challenges. Once the undisputed leader during the era of Windows PCs, the peak of technological innovation at the time, Intel stumbled through a series of errors and failed to capitalize on the next waves of tech revolutions: the explosion of smartphones and the advent of AI. As the US recently positioned Intel as a key player in the global competition for semiconductor supremacy, the financial consequences of these past mistakes are now being felt. In recent months, Intel's share price has experienced a sharp decline. The company has had to cut 15,000 jobs, initiate a comprehensive overhaul of its operations, and is now surrounded by speculation regarding potential breakup or sale.
Gelsinger believes all he requires is sufficient time to rectify the company's direction. He explained, “Intel spent over ten years making poor choices,” during our conversation. “I’ve consistently mentioned that it’s a five-year process to restore our position. Currently, we’re in the middle of year three.” The pressing concern is whether Gelsinger’s strategies will materialize in time to prevent Intel’s collapse. Also, there's the issue of how this affects the regions and local communities that might be relying on Intel for a turnaround.
The announcement that Intel had chosen Ohio for its new location was met with mixed feelings by Springowski. While she had played a pivotal role in attracting Intel to her state, the tech giant ultimately did not choose Lorain as its destination. Instead, after considering various possibilities, Intel decided on a large piece of agricultural land in New Albany, a modest-sized town near Columbus, the state's capital.
Constructing a microchip manufacturing plant, known as a fab, is an incredibly complex endeavor. It demands infrastructure and specialized machinery on a massive scale, reminiscent of constructing pyramids in the modern era, all to produce items on the nanometer scale. In the coming years, this massive undertaking will be centered in a location in central Ohio. This location has numerous advantages, although, unlike Lorain, it lacks a port, with the nearest one being 140 miles distant. Therefore, Intel faced the challenge of transporting all necessary materials and equipment across a significant portion of the state, a process that would unfold gradually.
In the early hours of a summer morning in 2024, long before my preferred wake-up time and before the day’s heat intensifies, I find myself in the southern reaches of Ohio, near Portsmouth, roughly 200 miles south from Lorain, positioned on a floodplain that overlooks a curve in the Ohio River. I am situated in a parking lot opposite a gas station, adjacent to a restaurant known as Mex-Itali, which boasts the slogan “The Best of Both Worlds!” Surrounding me are approximately two dozen men, and indeed, they are all men, who are busily donning helmets and yellow safety vests, engaging in morning rituals of sipping coffee and enjoying a smoke. Among them is an individual who goes by the name Moose.
Everyone has come together here because not far from us, approximately 100 feet away, there's a place where a two-lane street intersects with another two-lane street, forming a right angle. Normally, this wouldn't capture our attention, but in about an hour, a massive, and when I say massive, I mean a colossal object mounted on 172 wheels is expected to arrive and navigate that corner.
In the Mex-Itali parking area, the group is discussing the plan of action. Moose conducts a brief safety overview, emphasizes the importance of staying hydrated, and advises the group to be respectful when communicating via radio.
The team responsible for transporting Intel's extremely large shipments through Ohio consists of roughly 24 individuals coming from various sectors including telecommunications, electrical services, freight services, local law enforcement, and the state traffic police.
The journey to this point has spanned almost two years of meticulous planning. This transport is one of roughly twenty-four exceptionally heavy loads, each surpassing 120,000 pounds, designated for Intel's use in Ohio. The cargo being moved today, identified as the 13th in the series, stretches an impressive 280 feet in length, stands 23 feet high, and spans 20 feet in width. This massive piece of equipment, tipping the scales at close to 1 million pounds, is somewhat unremarkably termed a cold box. A European manufacturer produced it, and after shipping it to New Orleans, it made its way via barge through the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. It was then transferred to a temporarily established port in the vicinity for this purpose. The next phase involves moving it by land to Intel's future site, which is envisaged to become the world's leading production hub for AI chips.
To accomplish this task, it appears you require one week, numerous trucks, an array of permits, and a team consisting of individuals from telecommunications firms, electricity providers, transport companies, along with a few local police officers and state troopers. Throughout the journey, it's necessary to manually adjust power cables and traffic signals to ensure the cargo can pass through. Moreover, due to the inconvenience caused to residents along the path, it's imperative that the largest superloads are transported prior to the commencement of the academic year.
The sound reaches our ears before the sight does—a deep, resonant buzz emanating from the west.
Incidentally, a cold box is a component of what's known as an air separation unit. For the production of microchips, it's crucial to maintain a cleanroom environment on the manufacturing floor, as even the tiniest dust particle can damage a silicon wafer. This necessitates the division of air into its constituent gases, utilizing nitrogen to purge any remaining gases, moisture, and debris from all materials and equipment. (Other elements from the air are also utilized in the production cycle.) In the future, Intel plans to erect four of these cold boxes in an upright position, akin to skyscrapers, at its new 1,000-acre facility.
On the journey, the oversized cargoes attract spectators. Followers keep an eye out for news from the Ohio Department of Transportation on Facebook. Within the commentary section, the tone varies—while a lady proposes to treat the team with blackberry cobbler, others express frustration over traffic delays, and some show excitement over the complexities involved in transporting such massive items. There are those who are eager to witness the entire procession.
Emily Stone set up her portable chair, earning the nickname 'Load Chaser' among her peers. This marks her involvement in her second significant transport event. "This is rare for small towns," she observes. A local through and through, she has deep roots and affection for her hometown. Historically, Portsmouth thrived with its shoe factories, steelworks, and a brickyard. There was also a large facility close by that played a key role in the Cold War, enriching uranium for nuclear arms. Stone's father was employed there for over three decades, passing away from leukemia shortly after the facility ceased its uranium operations in 2001. A local middle school was even shut down following the detection of radioactive contamination. Stone actively voices her concerns against the facility's management for not acknowledging their role in these issues publicly.
Following the decline of its main industries, Portsmouth emerged as a prime example of the opioid crisis. At its peak, the town had the highest concentration of pain clinics distributing prescriptions in the nation. It also became well-known through a groundbreaking book titled "Dreamland" that explored the epidemic. In the early 2000s, as mentioned in the book, OxyContin was so pervasive it was used like money. There was a report of a woman purchasing a vehicle using the pills as payment. Stone, who was employed as a pharmacy technician during that period, recounted knowing individuals who both profited from and succumbed to opioid addiction.
For Stone, the superload indeed presents an entertaining diversion. However, as it travels from a notably impoverished region in Ohio to one of the wealthiest, she comprehends the skepticism, or even stronger feelings, that some locals harbor. "They're already apprehensive," she notes. "And then there are these massive loads passing through that are a mystery to most people."
"One man took to Facebook to question the origins of these superloads, asking if anyone else is curious about where they first originated."
"Another person expresses their frustration, saying, 'The entire situation just sickens me.' They argue that large corporations often exploit people at every opportunity, all the while convincing them that they're actually benefitting from it."
"One more person argues that these actions offer no advantages to anyone in southern Ohio."
Stone and I detect the sound before the object comes into view—a deep, resonant buzzing originating from the west. It appears as an enormous white container, surpassing the length of a 747's main body. The maneuvering of this colossal structure requires the joint effort of two semi trucks, with one leading the charge and another providing support from behind. A third truck is on hand primarily to assist in navigating uphill challenges, remaining on standby for the remainder. Positioned at the rear of this massive cargo, two individuals oversee a control panel situated on a small platform, ensuring the 'cold box' can adeptly navigate through narrow passages.
I hop into a government vehicle alongside Matt Bruning, a representative for the Ohio Department of Transportation, who has a background as a news radio journalist. He mentions that one of his previous workplaces now utilizes artificial intelligence for creating commercial narrations. Bruning, alongside Moose, has gained a bit of celebrity status on Facebook due to their involvement with the team. "Super Load #13 is navigating the turn," Bruning updates on social media. We drive slightly in front of the massive transport and head northward into Ohio.
Intel orchestrated this event, and it was their initiative to have me tag along with the superload. The corporation has mobilized a cheerful cohort of individuals clad in uniform T-shirts, aiming to stir excitement in the communities we pass through, soothe any irritation from traffic delays, and pepper the area with intriguing tidbits. They've erected Intel-branded tents, handed out Intel-themed noise makers and toys to children, and established Intel stands alongside food vendors. Additionally, they're offering virtual reality experiences, where participants can don VR headsets to simulate the environment of working in a semiconductor fabrication plant, observing engineers in protective suits navigate a pristine space brimming with high-value equipment.
Rejoining the convoy, we've now hit the peak heat of the day, and we're still within Portsmouth's limits. The superload moves at an average pace of 6 mph, and currently, a belt in the engine of the steering console has broken. As a team attends to the repair, the whole convoy has come to a halt.
Residents have gathered on their front steps to observe workers in elevated platforms adjust the large, extending arms that hold traffic lights over a crossroads. When the cargo arrives, these workers will maneuver the arms aside and then return them to position. A crowd from a nearby drug rehabilitation facility watches on, highlighting what Portsmouth has become famous for today – a haven for individuals seeking help with addiction, offering therapy, vocational training, and employment opportunities. The writer of Dreamland revisited Portsmouth to pen an additional chapter on the town's transformation following the peak of the opioid epidemic.
Bruning proposes we remain inside the vehicle with the air conditioning running. However, we notice we're parked close to a retro eatery named Malt Shops, which boasts a menu of “Ice Cream, Shakes, Sundaes, Sandwiches, and Footers.” Several crew members, along with some Intel representatives and myself, decide to enter and sample a wide selection of their offerings.
The team comes from various places. Joe Jones and his team traveled from Detroit to join. Previously, he was employed by a manufacturer supplying parts to Ford. According to him, the automobile industry was thriving before the pandemic. However, the subsequent semiconductor shortage brought about significant stress. He points out that Ford vehicles rely heavily on semiconductors, with each vehicle containing hundreds or even thousands of these chips. Moreover, the vehicle's functionality can be restricted for non-payment. Jones believes that semiconductors could be the focal point of future conflicts. Nowadays, he is employed by his cousin's utility company, where he is involved in adjusting power lines to accommodate oversized loads.
Rick and Julia Miller hail from the northern part of Florida. Rick was previously in charge of overseeing roofing teams until he lost his job due to the pandemic. Julia, on the other hand, was involved in breeding premium chickens known for producing mahogany-brown eggs. The idea to venture into the pilot-car industry was suggested by a friend, promising them an opportunity to travel and earn. Currently, in their seventies, the couple now spearheads the convoy for extremely large loads, driving a truck adorned with orange flags and a large yellow sign indicating "OVERSIZE LOAD."
The enormous cargo's journey from Manchester to New Albany, Ohio, included a leg by barge along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. To unload Intel's equipment, a temporary port was specially built in Manchester.
Danny Hoeck hails from the heart of Kentucky. He's at the helm of the leading semi that hauls the massive cargo. His truck driving career spans nearly half a century. "I technically retired a couple of years back," he chuckles. "But I haven't really stopped working." He explains his continuous employment by noting the scarcity of individuals with the necessary skills for the job.
Next, we have Moose. Naturally, he’s a large fellow, known for his witty memes online. He goes by Kieran Drylie in full and hails from New Jersey. Soon, word comes over the radio that the steering console repair is complete. We then witness the superload slowly making its way up the street toward the Malt Shops. Later, Moose's boss shares with me that instead of dismantling the engine to replace the malfunctioning belt, they opted to secure a completely new engine and fit it in.
Pat Gelsinger returned to Intel with the aim of rectifying the company's issues.
When he began his career at the firm, he was merely 18, at a time when Intel stood as a pivotal force in the technology sector. His manager, Gordon Moore, who was also a cofounder and the CEO, had formulated Moore's law. This principle predicted that the quantity of transistors on a chip would double approximately every two years, without a significant increase in cost. Intel was responsible for creating the first microprocessor available on the market, playing a crucial role in transforming Silicon Valley from an area known for its orchards into a technological hub. It was often referred to as one of the tech industry's "four horsemen."
Gelsinger played a significant role throughout his time at the company, notably as the lead designer of the inaugural processor to integrate over a million transistors. However, by the conclusion of his initial tenure at the firm—marked by his departure in the role of chief technology officer in 2009, a move he describes as being subtly pushed out—Intel had already begun to veer off course.
Intel continued to rake in significant earnings from the market for PC processors. However, in 2006, the firm's CEO at the time, Paul Otellini, decided against entering into an agreement with Steve Jobs to manufacture processors for an upcoming Apple gadget. Otellini believed that the product would not sell well. That product turned out to be the iPhone. Following this, the entire mobile phone industry shifted towards a chip standard that was different from Intel's.
Subsequently, a few years after, a group of AI experts began to educate neural networks—a technology once considered obsolete—utilizing a chip design created by Nvidia. Their remarkable achievements heralded the exciting new period of AI and established Nvidia's leadership in the field. (Adding to the intrigue: Over the last two decades, Intel allegedly missed opportunities to secure significant shares in both Nvidia and OpenAI, choosing not to pursue them.)
Growing in line with a trend among Intel's rivals, Nvidia operated without its own fabrication plants, focusing on chip design and entrusting the manufacturing to Asian foundries, notably TSMC and Samsung. Intel, on the other hand, generally continued to manufacture its high-tech chips in-house. This approach could have been advantageous, suggests semiconductor expert G. Dan Hutcheson, but Intel's decision to implement an overly complicated manufacturing process in the early 2010s resulted in low production yields.
Mistakes pushed Intel significantly behind, leading to a situation where, by the late 2010s, TSMC emerged as the sole entity capable of producing the most advanced processors, according to Hutcheson. This development raised considerable concerns for the US government, primarily due to TSMC's close geographical location to China. The situation became even more pressing with the advent of Covid and the ensuing major chip shortage, further accelerating Washington's call to action.
When Gelsinger took over as Intel's CEO in early 2021, some board members were advising the company to exit the manufacturing sector and concentrate solely on chip design, according to Hutcheson. However, Gelsinger firmly believed that Intel should not only continue to design and produce its chips on a grand scale but also expand its role as a foundry, producing chips for its "fabless" rivals. He even aspired for Intel to rise as the world's second-largest foundry by 2030. Moreover, Gelsinger aimed to transform the company by introducing a new and superior manufacturing technique known as 18A, which was several steps ahead of the older, less efficient process that had previously hindered the company.
Gelsinger believed that to achieve his goals, he would require financial assistance amounting to several tens of billions of dollars from the U.S. government. To garner support, he tapped into the growing trend of economic patriotism in Washington. Just four months into his role as CEO, he penned an opinion piece for Politico, emphasizing the immediate necessity for the U.S. to bolster its national security. He championed the idea of America's dominance in semiconductor production and even described Intel as a company driven by national loyalty, though he suggested this loyalty had its limits. Gelsinger's straightforward proposition to the Biden administration was that it either provides subsidies for manufacturing within the country or he would be forced to establish his semiconductor plants in other locations.
Throughout 2021, Gelsinger dedicated a significant amount of time to discussions with authorities in both the US and Europe. In the US capital, he specifically advocated for financial incentives to be directed exclusively towards American corporations.
Gelsinger often remarks, "The locations of oil reserves were determined by divine intervention, but the placement of fab reserves is within our control." As Washington hesitated, Intel initiated construction of two additional fabs at its Arizona facility, expanded activities in New Mexico, scouted for new locations across the US, and ultimately embraced Springowski's suggestion to establish a presence in Ohio.
Intel's decision to not proceed with construction in Lorain was primarily due to the lack of sufficient land. The company was in search of nearly 1,000 acres that were ready for development, a requirement Lorain couldn't meet. Consequently, Springowski connected Intel with individuals who then got in touch with JobsOhio, a private entity serving as the state's economic development organization. Another group, One Columbus, suggested a large area of agricultural land in New Albany, a small town near the state's capital, conveniently located next to a vast international business park. This proposal entailed acquiring property from over 50 landowners. To support this initiative, Ohio provided significant financial incentives, totaling around $2 billion, which included funding for infrastructure enhancements, reduction of costs, and tax breaks.
In January 2022, Intel made headlines by revealing plans to establish a significant presence in Ohio, with a projected investment of up to $100 billion. The tech giant aimed to construct a total of eight fabrication plants, positioning it as one of the largest semiconductor production hubs globally. During the State of the Union address in March of that year, Intel's CEO, Gelsinger, was notably in attendance, highlighting the importance of Intel's venture. The Biden administration particularly valued Intel's unique position as the sole American entity able to produce cutting-edge semiconductors. According to Hutcheson, under Gelsinger's leadership, Intel appeared poised for a resurgence. President Biden lauded the Ohio project as a "field of dreams," advocating for the passage of the CHIPS Act to support it, which Congress approved in August 2022. Consequently, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo began referring to Intel as the leading semiconductor company in the United States.
However, the US government chose a more diversified approach, not solely heeding Gelsinger's advice to support only American companies. It opted to also provide financial support to other firms. In March 2024, Intel received the largest allocation from the CHIPS Act funding, with $8.5 billion in grants and $11 billion in loans. Following closely were Intel’s main rivals: TSMC secured $6.6 billion in grants and $5 billion in loans for establishing fabrication plants in the US, with its inaugural facility expected to begin operations in Arizona the following year. Meanwhile, Samsung was awarded up to $6.4 billion in grants.
Subsequently, in the following month and well ahead of the anticipated receipt of federal monies in its financial reserves, Intel disclosed to its shareholders that it was facing serious financial difficulties. The tech giant reported a staggering loss of $7 billion from the previous year, with an additional loss of $1.6 billion in the subsequent quarter. This news precipitated a significant plunge in Intel's stock value, marking the most considerable drop in 50 years. As a result, Intel halted its dividend payments and declared a workforce reduction of 15 percent, equating to around 15,000 employees.
One issue was that Intel, similar to most technology firms, had set overly optimistic forecasts during the pandemic, believing that life would permanently shift to a digital model. "We didn't fully understand the extent to which the industry was riding the Covid euphoria," Gelsinger remarked. However, Intel's core challenges are more profound.
The implications for national security are extremely critical. Hutcheson warns that if Intel doesn't resolve its issues, we're in deep trouble.
When questioned about whether he regrets dedicating extensive efforts to secure government support instead of addressing Intel's internal challenges, Gelsinger expressed that the enactment of the CHIPS Act would not have been possible without capitalizing on the opportunity. He remains unwavering in his vision for transforming Intel. Gelsinger acknowledged considering adjustments in approach but stood firm on his strategic direction. He emphasized that Intel is on the verge of overcoming a challenging year, pointing out that the new manufacturing sites are not yet operational, the latest technological processes have yet to be implemented, and the newest products are only beginning to increase in production.
Intel has recently secured agreements to supply custom AI chips, made with its latest production techniques, to Amazon and Microsoft. Additionally, the company secured a $3.5 billion contract to manufacture chips for the Pentagon. However, investor confidence in CEO Gelsinger's strategy to both design and manufacture chips is wavering, with some suggesting that Intel should split its operations. There have been offers to purchase Intel from smaller entities, including Qualcomm. The technology sector's news outlets frequently report on the company's challenges. An October article in The New York Times revealed that Commerce Secretary Raimondo has been making efforts to attract new business for Intel from other major US technology firms, but these efforts have largely been unsuccessful.
Hutcheson indicates that it might take a year or more to determine if Intel can successfully recover. He expresses strong optimism regarding Intel's latest 18A semiconductor manufacturing technique. However, he emphasizes that the implications for national security are extremely significant, stating, "If Intel doesn't get back on track," according to Hutcheson, "we're in serious trouble."
Events unfolding at Intel are expected to spark discussions about the possibility of a second CHIPS Act. Legislators will undoubtedly question the effectiveness of the first CHIPS Act, according to Chris Miller, who penned the book Chip Wars. “However, I believe Congress will also consider the global situation,” he notes, pointing out that China is significantly ahead, operating at what could be considered the level of a fifth or sixth CHIPS Act, having allocated an estimated $150 billion in subsidies, likely even exceeding that amount.
For Miller, the gamble of implementing one or two CHIPS Acts, even if it doesn't result in a thriving semiconductor industry in the US spearheaded by Intel among others, is still considered worthwhile. This is viewed as a precautionary measure against a potentially much larger disaster should tensions escalate in the Taiwan Strait. According to Miller, a conflict in that region could lead to a catastrophic impact on the global economy, with disruptions costing trillions of dollars. "That's not an exaggeration; it's the calculated prediction," Miller states.
New Albany, Ohio, strikes an oddly recognizable chord, even though I'm certain I've never visited. Forty years earlier, it was a small agricultural community, a short 20-minute journey away from Columbus. According to the town’s mayor, Sloan Spalding, at that time, the place boasted a dairy mart and a feed store. That's until a prosperous individual, Leslie Wexner, began acquiring property. “He was akin to Walt Disney,” Spalding notes.
Wexner, whose wealth has propelled him to become Ohio's wealthiest individual, originates from Dayton and is the son of a Russian immigrant who dealt in clothing. In 1963, he initiated his entrepreneurial journey by securing a loan from his aunt to open a retail outlet named The Limited, essentially pioneering the concept of quick-turnaround fashion. By 1982, he expanded his empire by acquiring a modest undergarment company known as Victoria’s Secret.
Wexner disclosed that he envisioned himself in the mold of Ralph Lauren, also a child of immigrant parents, renowned for marketing an idealized vision of WASP culture. He shaped the brand identity of Victoria's Secret around a made-up persona called Victoria Stuart-White. An initial catalog listed its address as No. 10 Margaret Street, London W1, which was fictitious; the business's actual base was in Columbus.
"Wexner remarked, 'Starting a business was my way of crafting my personal universe.' As he expanded Victoria’s Secret, his ambition to transform downtown Columbus was met with resistance from local authorities. Undeterred, he shifted his focus to New Albany, where he erected a lavish 60,000-square-foot home within an expansive estate of nearly 400 acres, complete with equestrian facilities, landscaped gardens, and tennis courts, as well as a country club featuring a 27-hole golf course. His vision extended beyond his home, aiming to establish a community that narrated its unique tale—a vision of a place where the architectural style and the natural environment of 19th-century towns exist in perfect harmony, as outlined by the real estate development firm Wexner founded to realize this project."
In the development of New Albany, Wexner collaborated closely with his then financial advisor and trusted counsellor, Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein later gained infamy for his involvement in the sexual exploitation and trafficking of women and minors. Wexner, who claims to have severed connections with Epstein in 2007, has stated that he had no knowledge of any criminal behavior.
Currently, New Albany is home to approximately 11,000 residents, residing in spacious brick homes that feature a generous setback from the street. Exploring the area gives the impression of being in a place that feels both ancient and peculiar, distinct from Ohio, or as if one has mistakenly ended up in a version of Colonial Williamsburg dominated by the attire of polo shirts.
The high school bears a resemblance to Monticello, surrounded by white picket fences that give it an almost pastoral feel, despite its non-rural setting. What appear to be barns turn out to be eateries. Areas for shopping, particularly those housing essentials like gas stations and fast-food joints, are pushed to the fringes. New Albany's detailed 16-page architectural guidelines admit that the Georgian aesthetic, a product of 18th-century England, was never native to Ohio, yet they propose it should be the prevailing style across the town. According to these guidelines, any other architectural influences must draw from American traditions, explicitly excluding anything from the 20th century onwards. Mayor Spalding describes this approach as "timeless" and quintessentially American.
Located next to the town, the primary catalyst for the entire operation is the New Albany International Business Park. This site hosts businesses linked to Wexner, including Abercrombie & Fitch and Bath & Body Works, along with Discover Card, State Farm, American Electric Power, Aetna, and data centers for Amazon, Google, and Meta. Recently, Intel has also become a part of this hub.
The towering cranes are visible from a great distance. Intel refers to it as a "mega-site," an area as large as two Disney theme parks. Although the Intel personnel prohibit my entry, circumnavigating the Business Park's border requires an hour. Additionally, the industrial park boasts its unique landscaping and architectural guidelines, incorporating freshly constructed mounds and saplings to obscure any unsightly or incomplete structures.
To reach New Albany, the extremely heavy and large shipment had to circumvent Columbus by taking a detour, steering clear of any underpasses and roadblocks. For an upcoming delivery, Intel's crew plans to collaborate with a local produce vendor and the chamber of commerce to organize an "Intel Superload Spectator Event!!" inviting people to watch as the procession makes its way past. For our particular delivery, the excitement mostly unfolded online. Matt Bruning from the Ohio Department of Transportation announces the successful completion of the task, followed by someone commenting, "Moose, this one's for you," to which Moose replies with a meme expressing being overwhelmed by the affection, "You’re killing me with kindness."
At these Intel temporary exhibits, they're keen on showcasing a wooden representation of Ohio, featuring all 88 counties, as a way to discuss the statewide advantages of their initiative. They're committing to creating 3,000 premium positions at the fabrication plants, along with 7,000 construction roles to erect these facilities. JobsOhio estimates that this will lead to a tripling effect in terms of further employment opportunities. To date, Intel has announced the completion of hiring for 2,300 construction roles, and since the fabrication plants are not yet operational, less than 100 manufacturing positions have been filled.
Inquiring with Kenny McDonald, the lead at the economic development organization One Columbus, about whether the Intel initiative will benefit only the affluent areas near Columbus or extend its advantages to the economically challenged regions in southern and northeastern Ohio, he shares his perspective on how this project will enhance competitiveness throughout the Midwest. Henry Farrell, a scholar in political science and co-writer of "Underground Empire," expresses skepticism about such endeavors restoring America's status as a manufacturing giant. Nevertheless, state and federal authorities continue to allocate substantial investments into these projects, which he believes have minimal direct employment effects, motivated by the bipartisan desire to dominate the industrial landscape of the Midwest.
Springowski is advocating for justice for Lorain, expressing that the city has struggled to recover from the 2007 recession, unlike the thriving Columbus and its vicinity. She finds a bit of solace in Intel's pledge to donate substantial amounts to Ohio's higher education institutions, Lorain County Community College included. She continues to encourage semiconductor manufacturers and Intel's partners to consider Lorain for their operations. Moreover, she spends her time researching the production of semiconductors, currently intrigued by the processing of rare earth minerals.
She points out that the absence of available land for Intel in her town is due to the fact that the mills and factories which arrived in Lorain a hundred years ago now stand vacant and dilapidated, occupying vast stretches of space within the town's core. She questions, "Why not begin demolishing these structures," to make way for future developments?
(Update: During an appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast on October 25, Donald Trump criticized the CHIPS and Science Act, labeling it "so bad" for allocating billions of dollars to wealthy corporations rather than employing tariffs to encourage domestic chip manufacturing. The subsequent week, House Speaker Mike Johnson suggested that Republicans might "probably repeal" the act, though he later retracted this statement, clarifying that there are no current plans to revoke the legislation. Intel, whose shares surged by 12 percent shortly after Trump's presidential victory, appears relatively unperturbed by the situation. Despite not having received the full amount of funding promised by the CHIPS Act yet, an Intel representative mentioned that the Commerce Department is aiming to finalize this distribution by year's end.)
Additionally, it's plausible to anticipate that the sole manufacturer of high-end chips in the US could gain advantages from a government prioritizing American interests, especially one that intends to levy tariffs on imported products. "The concept of the CHIPS and Science Act was initiated during the Trump administration's first term and continues to enjoy widespread support across party lines," stated a representative from Intel. "We are eager to collaborate with the Trump administration on this mutual objective.")

Major Technology Firms to Conduct Worldwide Hunt for Affordable Power Sources
Purchasing products through links in our articles could generate a commission for us. This contributes to our journalistic efforts. Find out more. We also encourage you to think about subscribing to WIRED.
At the base of Malaysia, the state of Johor is celebrated for its picturesque coastlines and lush, hilly jungles. However, Johor is now gaining attention for becoming a hub for data centers that support advanced AI technologies, with Microsoft investing over $2 billion in one such facility. For major technology companies, electricity is becoming as vital as oil once was. A cutting-edge AI data center could demand up to 90 megawatts of power, which is sufficient to supply electricity to thousands of homes in the United States. As the use of AI expands, including everything from conversational bots to sophisticated AI tools, the demand for resources is also increasing. A group of industry leaders is even preparing for future data centers that will need up to 10 gigawatts of power, significantly surpassing the requirements of today's largest facilities. For these technology giants, access to affordable and dependable electricity is becoming as important as the availability of silicon chips.
By the year 2025, major technology companies will intensively search worldwide for energy in all forms, from kilowatts to gigawatts. The focus in executive meetings is shifting from the capabilities of servers to the availability and future of energy supplies. Countries endowed with plentiful and cheap energy sources are using this advantage to their benefit, creating strategies to draw in artificial intelligence investments with the kind of enthusiasm previously seen for attracting manufacturing sectors.
Areas traditionally successful in attracting data center investments, including Ireland and Singapore, are experiencing significant capacity challenges, exacerbated by the surge in GenAI demand. This scenario has opened doors for unexpected players in the field, extending beyond Malaysia to include Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Chile. In this context, ensuring a steady supply of electricity takes precedence over concerns about data transmission delays.
Affordable energy has historically been crucial for businesses. In the same way that organizations previously situated their refineries close to harbors and their manufacturing plants near coal deposits, AI companies are now aiming to place themselves in locations where they can access reliable electricity at competitive rates.
The significance of geographical positioning cannot be overstated. In data centers, approximately 50% of the energy expenditure is attributed to the operation of cooling mechanisms and air conditioning units to prevent servers from overheating. Hence, locations with cooler temperatures or those near the coast are likely to see a rise in popularity as preferred sites.
This narrative originates from the 2025 edition of WIRED World, our yearly overview of emerging trends.
The attraction towards advancing artificial intelligence is so strong that major technology companies are resorting to purchasing non-renewable energy sources to fulfill this demand, jeopardizing their own and the surrounding communities' goals for reducing carbon emissions.
Nations aggressively vie to attract data center companies. Offering tax incentives is a common strategy: Over 50% of American states, such as Arizona, New York, and Texas, provide these businesses with various tax exemptions, along with favorable conditions for land acquisition and guaranteed power supply access. In Malaysia, the Green Lane Pathway programs streamline the approval process for building, enabling quicker development and installation of electricity infrastructure for data centers.
The dynamic between energy and digital processes is reshaping the landscape of international power. This change is as significant as the oil surge of the 20th century, though it's much less apparent. There are no visible signs like the construction of pipelines or the rerouting of oil tankers. Rather, unremarkable buildings filled with buzzing servers are emerging as the critical areas of geopolitical interest.
It's uncertain how much this will change the balance of power worldwide. The significant advancements in AI research are likely to continue in major research centers like San Francisco, London, Beijing, and Paris. Yet, the data centers responsible for distributing these algorithms commercially will operate on thin profit margins, focusing on high volume and low-cost strategies.
Digital diplomacy will emerge as a crucial component in the upcoming years. The expansion of AI depends less on the intricacies of its algorithms and more on the advancement of electronic technologies.
Nonetheless, countries leveraging this opportunity must exercise caution; their current upper hand could be short-lived as leading economies devise strategies to introduce affordable, sustainable energy in adequate volumes to promote local hosting.
Today's providers of AI data centers, who currently benefit from abundant energy resources, face the task of converting this temporary benefit into a lasting competitive advantage. To achieve this, they must extend their focus from merely drawing in data centers to establishing robust innovation ecosystems that will continue to flourish even when the initial surge in electricity demand diminishes.

Redefining the Corporate Ladder: How AI Integration Will Transform Organizational Strategy in 2025
AI to Become Integral to Business Strategies
Since the creation of organizational charts in the 1850s, the structure of companies has remained largely unchanged, characterized by a hierarchical organization with various levels of management and decision-making authorities, limited by the capabilities of human intellect and focus to oversee and direct work processes. AI has the potential to revolutionize this. With the advent of large language models (LLMs), we are introduced to a novel and unique form of intelligence that, up until now, has mainly served in a supportive role at the individual level. By 2025, we anticipate the emergence of the first companies designed to leverage the collaborative efforts of humans and AI.
This transformation signifies a deep alteration in the way we organize and run our companies and entities. Although the assimilation of artificial intelligence (AI) into our everyday existence has been swift (AI assistants have become one of the quickest adopted products ever), organizations have yet to fully capitalize on its advantages. However, the approaching year is set to be a critical moment when AI shifts from a means of enhancing personal efficiency to an essential element in the structural and strategic planning of organizations.
By the year 2025, innovative companies will start to reshape their entire business model, workflows, and company culture to embrace the cooperative relationship between human intelligence and artificial intelligence. This goes beyond merely automating jobs or enhancing human skills; it involves developing completely new operational methods that capitalize on the distinct advantages of both humans and AI. The secret to fully harnessing the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) involves shifting from isolated applications to widespread, company-wide adoption. Although individual achievements using AI tools for activities like writing, programming, and data analysis have been noteworthy, the real game-changer will be when businesses are fundamentally designed to foster collaboration between humans and AI.
Emerging businesses are at the forefront of innovation. According to venture capitalists, there’s an increasing movement among their invested companies towards keeping their team sizes to a maximum of approximately 30 members. These companies plan to leverage artificial intelligence to expand their businesses while avoiding the usual costs associated with growth. Nonetheless, this strategy could be even more advantageous for bigger, well-established companies. Such entities have the opportunity to employ AI to bypass inefficiencies, catalyze new development leveraging their current staff, and harness their employees' combined knowledge in unprecedented ways.
This narrative originates from the 2025 edition of the WIRED World, our yearly overview of emerging trends.
By 2025, there will be a significant increase in startups that are "AI-native", meaning they integrate human-AI collaboration into their foundational operations from the outset. These businesses will distinguish themselves with compact, expert human crews closely cooperating with advanced AI technologies to produce results comparable to those of much bigger conventional companies.
For bigger corporations, the path toward integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into their operations will be intricate but could yield greater benefits. Such entities are required to invest heavily in research and development to figure out the optimal way to utilize AI according to their unique situations. This exploration will uncover a critical realization: Given that AI functions more similarly to a human than to conventional software (despite not being human), it's incorrect to presume that the IT department holds the key to the most proficient AI operators or has special knowledge regarding the most beneficial applications of AI in the company.
Therefore, information technology (IT) will be essential in setting up and sustaining artificial intelligence (AI) systems, but the real advancements and applications will emerge from employees and leaders in various sectors who identify ways to leverage AI to improve their work efficiency. Indeed, for major corporations, the key to gaining a competitive edge through AI will lie in the skills and knowledge of their workforce, which are crucial for tapping into the hidden potential and functionalities of AI technologies. This understanding will pave the way for a widespread adoption of AI within certain companies, positioning them at the forefront of the impending shift.
The introduction of AI into corporate settings will lead to the creation of new types of organizational frameworks that deviate significantly from the conventional top-down structures we are familiar with. We can expect to see an increase in dynamic, project-oriented models where groups are quickly formed and disbanded based on specific objectives, with AI playing a key role in linking and supporting these efforts. The responsibilities of middle management are likely to shift towards managing the interface between humans and AI, moving away from their traditional oversight functions. By the year 2025, the companies that stand out will not necessarily be those with the most sophisticated AI technology, but rather those that can most effectively merge human and machine intelligence to innovate and generate new value.

Ex-ByteDance Intern, Previously Accused of Workplace Sabotage, Receives Top AI Research Honor
An ex-intern at ByteDance, previously terminated for alleged professional misdeeds, including undermining the work of colleagues, has been recognized with one of the most coveted yearly awards in AI research. Keyu Tian, identified on his LinkedIn and Google Scholar profiles as a computer science master’s student at Peking University, was the lead author on one of two research papers awarded the Best Paper Award at this week’s Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) conference. NeurIPS is known as the premier international gathering for those in the machine-learning field.
The article, named "Visual Autoregressive Modeling: Scalable Image Generation via Next-Scale Prediction," introduces an innovative approach to producing images using artificial intelligence. This method, developed by Tian and four other researchers connected to ByteDance or Peking University, is purported to outpace and outperform earlier techniques. "The paper's overall presentation quality, experimental evidence, and insights into scaling laws provide strong motivation to explore this model further," stated the committee for the NeurIPS Best Paper Award in their announcement.
The selection of Tian for the prestigious recognition, despite ByteDance's recent lawsuit against him for allegedly causing more than $1 million in damages through intentional harm to other research initiatives, sparked extensive online debates regarding the management of NeurIPS and the criteria used by leading AI scientists to assess their peers' contributions. This development also led to the exposure of a controversy that had been simmering on Chinese social networks for some time to the wider, English-speaking online community.
"Abeba Birhane, leader of the newly established AI Accountability Lab at Trinity College, criticized NeurIPS on Bluesky for awarding the best paper to a highly controversial study, noting that this wasn’t the first occurrence. She expressed disappointment, suggesting that a conference known for its commitment to the utmost scientific and ethical integrity should thoroughly vet any paper against its principles before honoring it with such an award."
A representative from NeurIPS emphasized that the award was attributed to the paper, rather than Tian personally. They referred WIRED to a segment of the award committee's announcement that outlines the conference's approach to evaluating submissions. "The selection panels treated every accepted NeurIPS paper uniformly, making their judgments solely on the academic value of the papers. This was done without taking into account who the authors were or any other external criteria, adhering to the NeurIPS policy of anonymous reviews," the statement said.
On the social media platform Bluesky, Birhane along with fellow AI experts shared a link to a nameless GitHub blog post that has been making rounds on HackerNews, Reddit, and various other online forums. This post calls on the scholarly AI community to rethink awarding Tian the Best Paper accolade due to his alleged "serious misconduct," claiming it shakes the very foundation of integrity and trust that the academic world relies on.
The article outlines various technical strategies that Tian is accused of employing to monopolize ByteDance's computational assets for personal projects. It claims he intentionally interfered with experiments, leading to flawed and unrepeatable outcomes. This situation made his peers doubt the reliability of their research results, significantly harming their physical and psychological health.
The statement also urged ByteDance to withdraw the study, suggesting this action as a sign of regard for the firm's fellow researchers and the broader scholarly world. ByteDance has yet to reply to WIRED's request for a comment; similarly, Jiang Yi, identified as the head of the project in the acclaimed research and a leading figure in generative AI at ByteDance, along with the paper's additional authors, have not made any comments. Furthermore, Tian did not reply to an inquiry for his input sent to his academic email address.
The claims made against Tian in the blog post reflect similar allegations found in a previous GitHub blog written in Chinese, dated October 18. During that period, there was widespread speculation on Chinese social networks regarding a ByteDance intern allegedly responsible for costing the technology behemoth millions in damages by interrupting AI research activities within the firm.
On October 19, ByteDance sought to clarify details through a statement released on Toutiao, a Chinese news platform. The company acknowledged the dismissal of an intern from the “commercial technology team” in August due to "serious disciplinary infractions." However, ByteDance contested the accuracy of certain media portrayals of the incident, particularly the claim involving 8,000 graphics processing units (GPUs)—essential for developing advanced AI models. Furthermore, ByteDance disclosed that it had informed the intern's educational institution about his misconduct.
The dispute underscores the extreme measures certain artificial intelligence researchers will undertake to obtain the limited supply of GPUs on the market. Availability is notably constrained in China because of US export restrictions, limiting the sale of numerous advanced semiconductors to the nation. Nonetheless, Tian and his colleagues believe that their forthcoming investigations into fields such as AI-created video might contribute to making model execution more efficient in terms of resource use.
The authors of the study pointed out in their paper that creating high-definition videos using standard AI techniques is increasingly becoming too costly. They added that their approach might offer a remedy for this issue. “Hence, we anticipate a bright prospect for the application of VAR models in the field of video production,” they stated.

Abuse of Technology Could Heighten Risks Posed by Artificial Intelligence
Sam Altman, the head of OpenAI, anticipates the arrival of artificial general intelligence (AGI)—a form of AI that surpasses human abilities in most areas—by either 2027 or 2028. Meanwhile, Elon Musk foresees this happening a bit earlier, around 2025 or 2026, and has expressed serious concerns about the potential dangers of AI, to the point of losing sleep. However, these forecasts may not be accurate. As the shortcomings of existing AI technologies become more evident, a majority of AI experts now believe that merely creating larger and more sophisticated chatbots will not achieve AGI.
This narrative originates from the WIRED World in 2025, our yearly overview of upcoming trends.
Nonetheless, by 2025, the greatest danger AI presents will not stem from the emergence of superintelligent machines, but rather from how humans might exploit it.
Instances of misuse might occur inadvertently, such as when attorneys depend too heavily on artificial intelligence. Following ChatGPT's launch, a series of lawyers faced penalties for submitting court documents filled with inaccuracies produced by AI, seemingly oblivious to the chatbots' propensity for fabricating information. In British Columbia, attorney Chong Ke was made to cover the legal expenses of the opposing party after she submitted a document that included made-up cases created by AI. In New York, lawyers Steven Schwartz and Peter LoDuca were each hit with a $5,000 fine for using bogus references. Meanwhile, in Colorado, Zachariah Crabill received a one-year suspension for incorporating AI-created fictional legal cases into his work and attributing the errors to a "legal intern." This roster of penalized legal professionals is expanding rapidly.
Some abuses are deliberate. As of January 2024, social media was awash with explicit deepfake content of Taylor Swift. These fake images were produced with the help of Microsoft’s AI-based "Designer" tool. Despite Microsoft's precautions to prevent the creation of images depicting real individuals, a simple misspelling of Swift's name circumvented these measures. Microsoft has addressed this flaw since. However, Taylor Swift represents just a small part of a larger issue, as the unauthorized creation of deepfakes continues to spread, aided by the availability of open-source deepfake-making tools. Efforts to legislate against deepfakes are underway globally, aiming to mitigate their impact, but the effectiveness of such measures is yet to be determined.
By 2025, distinguishing between reality and fabrication will become increasingly challenging. The quality of AI-created audio, text, and visuals is already impressive, and soon, videos will follow suit. This advancement might give rise to the "liar's dividend," enabling those in authority to dismiss concrete evidence of wrongdoing by labeling it as counterfeit. For instance, in 2023, Tesla countered claims that a 2016 video of Elon Musk was exaggerated regarding the safety of Tesla autopilot, which was linked to an accident, by suggesting the footage might be a deepfake. Similarly, an Indian politician countered accusations of admitting to corruption within his party by alleging that the audio recordings were manipulated, although a media outlet confirmed the authenticity of at least one clip. Additionally, two individuals charged in connection to the January 6 riots defended themselves by arguing that their appearances in videos were fabricated through deepfake technology, yet both were convicted.
At the same time, businesses are taking advantage of widespread misunderstanding to market products of questionable value under the guise of "AI." This approach can lead to serious missteps, especially when these tools are employed to categorize individuals and make significant choices regarding their futures. For example, the recruitment firm Retorio asserts that its AI can determine the appropriateness of applicants for jobs by analyzing video interviews. However, research has demonstrated that this system can be easily misled by minor changes, such as the addition of glasses or swapping a bare background for one featuring a bookshelf. This indicates the system’s reliance on trivial associations.
Numerous sectors, including health care, education, banking, law enforcement, and insurance, are already utilizing artificial intelligence to unjustly deprive individuals of significant life chances. For instance, in the Netherlands, the tax agency employed an AI system to pinpoint individuals guilty of defrauding child benefit schemes. This system incorrectly targeted thousands of parents, frequently forcing them to return vast sums of money. As a consequence of this debacle, the Prime Minister and his entire government stepped down.
By 2025, the anticipated dangers associated with artificial intelligence are expected to stem more from human actions than from autonomous AI decisions. This encompasses scenarios where AI, despite functioning effectively, is excessively depended upon (as seen with lawyers utilizing ChatGPT); instances where it is employed for unethical purposes (such as unauthorized deepfakes and exploiting the liar's dividend); and situations where it proves to be inadequate for its intended use (resulting in the infringement of individual rights). Addressing these challenges will require significant effort from corporations, governmental bodies, and the broader community. Navigating these issues will already be challenging without the added distraction of fears inspired by science fiction narratives.

Models on OnlyFans Turn to AI Doppelgangers for Managing Their Messages
In the current era dominated by artificial intelligence, a common worry is the potential for AI to replace human jobs. While it's unclear how significant this issue will become, there's already evidence of automation encroaching on various professions. This includes even specialized roles, such as those within the OnlyFans community, which are now experiencing a shift due to AI interference.
You're curious about OnlyFans chatters, right? Not too long ago, WIRED unveiled an intriguing report on the realm of freelance workers. These individuals earn their living by posing as high-earning OnlyFans content creators, engaging in digital conversations with their followers. In the business, these individuals are referred to as "chatters."
One of the key attractions of OnlyFans, as I understand it, is the platform's facilitation of what seems like direct interaction between its creators and their followers, involving message exchanges and sometimes lengthy conversations. Essentially, the illusion of a personal connection is just as important to its popularity as the excitement it offers.
Naturally, an individual content creator who is juggling thousands of direct message conversations can't possibly find enough time in a day to handle it all. Hence, it's now a widespread practice to delegate these numerous romantic interactions to hired "chatters" who step in on behalf of the real personalities.
Previously, the majority of these conversationalists were freelancers hailing from countries like the Philippines, Pakistan, India, and others where wages are significantly lower than in the US. However, there's a growing trend of these human operators being substituted by artificial intelligence counterparts.
Various emerging companies are currently offering services related to AI conversational agents and other AI-based creative tools, reporting a significant increase in their business operations.
"Many creators recognized a demand," explains Kunal Anand, the entrepreneur behind ChatPersona, a startup providing an AI-based chat service for OnlyFans. "We developed a unique model using data collected from numerous creators' conversations."
Since its debut last year, ChatPersona has attracted approximately 6,000 clients, Anand reports, including both individual users and agencies.
Anand states that ChatPersona operates within the boundaries of OnlyFans' guidelines since it necessitates human intervention to dispatch the messages created by its AI conversationalists. (Despite earlier reports of OnlyFans prohibiting AI chatbot usage, the latest terms of service do not specifically address AI conversational agents.)
Despite numerous attempts to reach out, OnlyFans remained silent and did not reply to
The market is quite saturated at this point. Among the more popular solutions are platforms with straightforward names such as FlirtFlow, ChatterCharms, and Botly. A rival, known by the more nondescript name of Supercreator, offers a variety of AI features, including the creation of automated scripts and a tool named Inbox Copilot which uses algorithms to prioritize high-spenders in communications while sidelining those who don't spend money.
Eden, who previously built a career on OnlyFans before establishing her own agency named Heiss Talent, insists on being referred to by her first name only due to privacy reasons. She is a fervent proponent of the technology in question. Managing five creators under her agency, she reports that all of them have incorporated Supercreator's artificial intelligence utilities into their workflow. According to her, this has led to a remarkable surge in revenue, attributing the success to the ability to tailor marketing efforts to potential customers' spending habits.
A particular function identifies followers who have been inactive for some time and initiates contact by automatically sending them a message upon their return. Eden mentions that from that point, it's up to the creators to continue the interaction, yet the initial push provided by the automated system has proven to be notably effective, even leading to a conversation started by the AI culminating in a tip of $1,000.
Despite the existence of completely autonomous AI conversation applications, Eden prefers the individuals she advocates for to incorporate their personal touch into the dialogue. "We establish the essence of the communication, and the AI assists in expanding it," she explains. "Our aim is to maintain as much authenticity as we can." Absolutely!
I haven't personally interacted with the chatbots on OnlyFans, but I've definitely come across them on the internet, especially when I'm shopping online or trying to get details from, for example, my insurance provider. Typically, it's quite obvious that these interactions are powered by AI. What's your stance on businesses deploying chatbots without disclosing they're utilizing artificial intelligence? Is it time to embrace this as the new norm? Share your thoughts with me by sending an email to hello@wired.com, or by posting a comment below this piece.

This Bot Automatically Schedules Events in Your Calendar. Simply Forward an Email to It
It's a task we frequently perform throughout the week: manually filling our calendar with events by transferring information from an email. Imagine if a bot could handle this task on your behalf?
Fwd2cal is a complimentary service created by Moe Adham designed to streamline the process of managing appointments. It works by analyzing emails that contain scheduling details—whether it's an invite to an event, a meeting notification, or a casual mention of after-work drinks from a colleague—and automatically integrating these into your calendar. By simply forwarding the email to the no-cost bot, the service employs ChatGPT technology to identify and extract the necessary information, transforming it into a calendar event that is then conveniently added to your Google Calendar.
"Adham mentions on the project's website that the inspiration for writing it came from the significant frustration of trying to consolidate numerous email addresses from various platforms into one calendar. He also believed that it was a task potentially well-suited for machine learning to handle efficiently."
After experimenting with this for several weeks, my conclusion aligns with the general consensus: Machine learning is indeed capable of handling this task efficiently. The ease of use of this service is remarkable, and configuring it poses no significant challenge. Simply forward an email to calendar@fwd2cal.com to get started. Shortly after, you'll receive a reply containing a link that prompts you to grant access to your Google Calendar. If you wish to include additional email addresses, simply send another email to the same service. This time, ensure the subject line reads "add" followed by the new email address you wish to include, and that's all there is to it.
Once you've integrated Fwd2cal with your Google Calendar, the service is ready for use. Whenever you receive an email about an upcoming event, simply forward it and the bot will analyze the contents, transform it into a calendar event, and then schedule it on your Google Calendar. In case of any issues, you'll receive an email notification detailing the problem. Otherwise, the service will seamlessly continue scheduling events on your calendar without further input. Additionally, you have the option to send specific instructions within the email, employing the same language you would use with any AI chatbot. From my experience, the bot is quite adept at interpreting and executing requests.
Engaging with Adham's project necessitates a significant degree of confidence from users, a fact Adham openly admits on the platform's webpage. Fortunately, the initiative is shared under an open-source license, granting public access to its code for anyone interested in examining it. Furthermore, the privacy statement explicitly states that the bot only gathers essential data needed to deliver its services, ensuring that no personal details are retained for extended periods or employed in refining the AI model. The service is powered by technologies from Google Cloud, OpenAI, and SendGrid.
Fwd2cal is currently available at no cost, but this could potentially alter in the future. Adham notes on the site that if the service becomes overly popular and operational expenses soar, there might be a consideration to implement a fee. For now, it remains a useful and free service.

Harvard Partners with OpenAI and Microsoft to Democratize AI Training with Massive Free Dataset Release
Harvard University Unveils Extensive Free Dataset for AI Training, Supported by OpenAI and Microsoft
On Thursday, Harvard University revealed its plans to make available a vast dataset containing almost one million books in the public domain. This resource is intended for the development and training of extensive language models and additional AI technologies. The creation of this dataset is a project under Harvard's recently established Institutional Data Initiative, which received financial backing from Microsoft and OpenAI. The collection comprises books digitized through the Google Books initiative that have entered the public domain, meaning they are no longer under copyright protection.
The database created by the Institutional Data Initiative is approximately five times larger than the infamous Books3 dataset, which was instrumental in training AI models such as Meta's Llama. This extensive collection encompasses a wide range of genres, time periods, and languages, featuring works from renowned authors like Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and Dante, as well as more niche publications such as Czech mathematics textbooks and Welsh pocket dictionaries. Greg Leppert, the initiative's executive director, explains that the project aims to democratize access to sophisticated and carefully selected content libraries. Historically, only major tech companies could afford to develop such resources. By opening up access to these high-quality materials, the initiative seeks to empower smaller entities in the AI field and independent researchers. Leppert emphasizes the meticulous scrutiny each piece of content has undergone.
Leppert is of the opinion that the newly introduced database, which is available to the public, could work hand in hand with other proprietary content to develop AI models. He draws a parallel to Linux, pointing out how it serves as a crucial base for numerous global systems, while emphasizing that companies will have to incorporate extra training data to ensure their models stand out from the competition.
Burton Davis, who serves as Microsoft's Vice President and Deputy General Counsel for Intellectual Property, highlighted the corporation's backing of the initiative as consistent with its wider convictions regarding the importance of establishing "data reservoirs" that AI startups can access, which should be "governed for the benefit of the public." Essentially, this doesn't mean Microsoft intends to replace every piece of AI training data it has utilized for its models with open-source options such as those found in Harvard's newly released database. "For training our models, we utilize data that's available to the public," Davis stated.
Tom Rubin, the head of intellectual property and content at OpenAI, expressed the company's enthusiasm in backing the project, stating they were "thrilled" to offer their support.
Numerous legal battles concerning the usage of protected content for AI development are making their way through the judicial system, casting uncertainty on the construction methodologies of future AI technologies. Should the AI enterprises emerge victorious, they will continue to harvest data from the web without the necessity of negotiating rights with the original creators. Conversely, a defeat could compel these companies to significantly modify their approach to developing their technologies. Despite the uncertain outcome, initiatives such as the one from Harvard are progressing, betting on the ongoing demand for datasets that are freely available.
Beyond its extensive collection of books, the Institutional Data Initiative is partnering with the Boston Public Library to digitize countless articles from various newspapers that are now in the public domain. It has expressed interest in pursuing comparable partnerships in the future. The method for making the books dataset available has yet to be determined. The Initiative has reached out to Google for assistance with public dissemination, although the specifics are still under discussion. Kent Walker, Google’s president of global affairs, mentioned in a statement that the company is "honored to back" the initiative.
When the IDI makes its dataset available, it will become part of a growing collection of ventures, new enterprises, and efforts aimed at offering businesses the opportunity to obtain extensive and top-notch AI training resources, all while avoiding potential copyright infringements. Companies such as Calliope Networks and ProRata have come into existence to offer licensing and set up payment plans, ensuring that creators and rights owners are compensated for their contributions to AI training data.
Additionally, there are fresh initiatives in the domain of public access projects. In the previous spring, Pleias, a French AI startup, introduced its public-domain data collection named Common Corpus. This compilation, as stated by project leader Pierre-Carl Langlais, encompasses an approximate tally of 3 to 4 million books and periodicals. With financial support from the French Ministry of Culture, the Common Corpus has witnessed over 60,000 downloads this month alone via the open-source AI platform Hugging Face. Recently, Pleias unveiled its inaugural series of expansive language models developed from this data collection. Langlais shared with WIRED that these are the first models “to be exclusively developed using openly available data and in alignment with the [EU] AI Act.”
Initiatives are being launched to develop comparable collections of images. This summer, the AI company Spawning launched Source.Plus, a dataset consisting of public-domain pictures from Wikimedia Commons, alongside images from numerous museums and archives. Many notable cultural organizations, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, have historically opened up their archives to the public through individual projects.
Ed Newton-Rex, once an executive at Stability AI and currently leading a nonprofit that verifies AI tools trained ethically, argues that the emergence of these datasets proves copyrighted materials aren't required for developing AI models that are both efficient and of high quality. OpenAI had previously informed UK legislators that creating products similar to ChatGPT would be "impossible" without incorporating copyrighted content. “The availability of extensive public domain datasets undermines the argument some AI firms make about the need to use copyrighted materials for training their models,” states Newton-Rex.
However, he remains skeptical about the real impact of the IDI and similar initiatives on altering the current landscape of AI training. "These datasets can only make a difference if they are utilized, likely alongside licensed data, to substitute for unauthorized copyrighted material. If they merely become a component of a larger dataset that still incorporates unlicensed content from creators globally, it will primarily advantage AI firms," he comments.
Revised on December 12, 2024, at 11:18 AM ET: The article has received updates following feedback from Google.

Reclaiming the Web: How Blockchain Innovation and AI Will Empower Users and Revive the Internet’s Ideals
Advancements in Blockchain Technology Will Return Control of an AI-Enhanced Internet to the People
Contrary to pessimistic views, artificial intelligence won't bring about global ruin. However, it will transform the internet in ways we're currently familiar with.
AI is transforming the longstanding economic agreement of the internet that began with the introduction of search engines: A handful of companies (primarily Google) generate user demand, while creators provide content (in return for some advertising revenue or exposure). AI applications, capable of producing and condensing content, are eliminating the necessity for users to visit the original content creators' websites, thus disrupting the established equilibrium.
In the meantime, a flood of artificial intelligence-generated deepfakes and automated bots will lead us to doubt the authenticity of online content, eroding trust in the digital realm. Moreover, as major technology firms, which have access to vast amounts of data and computational resources, further their investments in AI, their dominance will increase, thus narrowing the scope of what's left of the open internet.
The advancement of technology is unstoppable. My point isn't to alarm everyone or to impede technological progress. It's crucial that we empower people to manage their online presence more effectively. While well-intentioned governmental policies might offer some assistance, they frequently hinder new developments. Trying to apply a universal remedy often leads to as many issues as it aims to fix. Moreover, it's unrealistic to expect people to withdraw from their digital existence.
This narrative originates from the WIRED World in 2025, our yearly forecast on emerging trends.
Significant technological advancements tend to emerge in clusters, much like the simultaneous growth of social media, cloud computing, and mobile technology during the early 21st century. Currently, we're witnessing a similar convergence: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly reliant on blockchain technology. The reason? Primarily, blockchain technology establishes and protects ownership rights. It enables the creation of verifiable agreements related to property, financial transactions, and governance. Instead of relying on central authorities or large corporations, a distributed network of computers validates these transactions. This process guarantees that the rules and records of transactions cannot be modified without a collective agreement. Through the use of smart contracts, which automate and uphold these ownership rights, a framework is established that promotes transparency, security, and trust. This framework allows individuals to have complete control and ownership over their digital identities. For content creators, this translates into the power to control how their work is utilized, including by AI technologies.
An additional fundamental right of ownership that blockchain technology can safeguard is the concept of identity. By using cryptographic methods, individuals can verify their identity through digitally signed statements. This enables us to navigate the web with our identities without the need for intermediaries. Blockchain-based identities could also play a significant role in distinguishing genuine users from automated scripts and fraudulent accounts. Back in the 1990s, the anonymity of the internet made it impossible to discern even the simplest details about an online user, such as whether one was actually a dog. Today, however, it's becoming increasingly possible to ascertain whether an online entity is a real person, a dog, or a computer bot. By 2025, I anticipate a surge in "proof of humanity" online, propelled by recent technological breakthroughs.
By 2025, blockchain technology will serve as a powerful tool for generating and maintaining unalterable records of original digital media, offering a strong defense against the manipulation seen in deepfakes. Whenever digital media such as videos, photos, or audio tracks are produced, blockchain technology can assign and preserve a distinct digital identifier. Should any modifications be made to the media, this identifier would change, simplifying the process of identifying any interference. Additionally, blockchains can hold metadata and confirmations of authenticity from reliable sources, enhancing the verification of the content's genuineness.
By 2025, blockchain technology is set to revive the foundational principles of the internet, promoting an ecosystem that is more inventive, inclusive, and unrestricted. Currently, the digital landscape is dominated by a handful of tech behemoths—ironically, the same entities aggressively investing in artificial intelligence while advocating for regulatory measures to stifle smaller rivals. The once accessible nature of websites and applications has been compromised, with the introduction of subscription models, limited or terminated API access, archival deletions, unauthorized content modifications, and the proliferation of intrusive advertisements. However, come 2025, blockchain-based solutions will introduce a plethora of alternatives characterized by open-source development, and governance by the user community, thus championing the cause of a liberated internet. Cryptocurrency, in particular, will play a pivotal role in redistributing control from the major technology firms back to the individual user.

Exploring the Use of Generative AI in Research and Writing: The Ethical Dilemma of Disclosure
"Whenever I employ an AI utility for investigative purposes or to assist in crafting content, is it necessary to acknowledge its contribution in the final piece as a reference? What is the appropriate method for attributing credit to AI utilities in these instances?"
—Reference Hunter
Esteemed Citation,
The simple response is that disclosure might not be essential when utilizing generative AI for research activities. However, if you employ ChatGPT or a similar AI instrument for writing tasks, giving credit is likely needed.
Whenever you're unsure about whether to reveal your use of AI tools, consider two important questions: Did I use AI for gathering information or creating content? And, would the person receiving this AI-generated content feel deceived if they knew it wasn't created by traditional means? While these questions might not fit every scenario perfectly, and scholars are undoubtedly expected to adhere to stricter citation rules, I'm convinced that spending a brief moment to think this through can assist you in grasping the correct application of such tools and sidestep potential problems.
Understanding the difference between gathering information and creating original content is an essential initial step. When I employ generative AI as a somewhat unreliable source of information that nudges me towards additional resources or expands my view on a subject, without incorporating it into the actual composition, I find it less concerning and it doesn't seem deceptive. It's important to verify any information found in the responses from the chatbot, and one should never use a ChatGPT response or a Perplexity page as a foundational source of truth. Nowadays, most chatbots have the capability to direct users to external sources on the internet, allowing for further exploration. In this scenario, consider it a component of the digital information ecosystem. ChatGPT can serve as the pathway you travel, but your ultimate goal should be to arrive at information found through external links.
Suppose you opt to employ a chatbot for drafting an initial version, or to generate text, visuals, audio, or video that integrates with your own content. In such instances, opting to disclose this fact is a wise choice. For instance, the description of Dominos cheese sticks available on the Uber Eats platform now carries a note stating that the information was produced by artificial intelligence and might contain errors in the listed ingredients.
Whenever you employ artificial intelligence for creative purposes or occasionally for research, it's crucial to focus on a key consideration. Essentially, ponder whether your audience would feel deceived if they discovered afterward that parts of what they engaged with were produced by AI. If the answer is yes, it's important to offer clear attribution, detailing your use of the technology as a gesture of respect towards your audience. Omitting to disclose the AI's role in creating segments of this article would not only breach WIRED's guidelines but would also result in a dull and joyless experience for both of us.
By taking into account the audience of your work and your original reasons for creating it, you can provide meaningful context for your use of AI. This added perspective can be crucial in navigating complex scenarios. Generally, an AI-generated work email that you've reviewed might be perfectly acceptable. However, employing AI to compose a sympathy email in response to someone's passing could be seen as lacking empathy—a situation that has indeed occurred. When the person you're communicating with is looking for a genuine, heartfelt connection, it might be best to step away from that ChatGPT session and opt for a more traditional approach with paper and pen.
"What methods can teachers employ to instruct teenagers on the responsible and ethical use of artificial intelligence tools? Are the benefits of AI superior to its potential dangers?"
—Hand Lifted
Hello Elevated,
In my opinion, introducing the concept of generative AI early in education while keeping expectations grounded is essential. From a young age, students are now acquiring computer skills, a trend that persists up to their final year in high school. Incorporating instruction on the responsible and efficient utilization of AI technologies could not only enhance their technical proficiency but might also assist them in maintaining an appropriate emotional detachment from chatbots.
Educators and guardians are justifiably concerned about students turning to generative AI tools to dishonestly complete their assignments, or relying on AI platforms such as ChatGPT and ByteDance’s Gauth AI for instant solutions. Adopting lesson strategies that emphasize in-class activities and dialogue could mitigate this problem. However, concentrating solely on homework overlooks an additional risk facing our youth. In the coming years, it's anticipated that teenagers will increasingly engage in deep, emotional, and occasionally unsuitable interactions, not with unidentified individuals online, but rather with persuasive AI chatbots like Character.AI or Replika.
In the challenging and often uncomfortable period of adolescence, intensified by today’s relentless social media scrutiny, it's probable that young people will become increasingly introverted and antisocial, seeking solace in artificial friends to make sense of their surroundings. In early 2024, a young individual from Florida, deeply engaged in interacting with roleplaying chatbots, shared feelings of self-harm with the artificial intelligence prior to taking his own life, as reported by The New York Times. Educating children on the safe use of AI encompasses more than just steering clear of misinformation; it's also about preventing the formation of inauthentic connections and ensuring they remain connected to the real world.
The debate over whether the benefits of using generative AI in educational settings surpass its potential dangers is becoming increasingly irrelevant as we approach 2025. These technologies have become a regular part of students' everyday experiences. It's crucial for teachers to prepare students to adeptly deal with their surroundings. Wholeheartedly accepting generative AI without scrutiny might not be wise, yet completely shunning it could prove to be equally disastrous.
