There is a constant onslaught of cyber attacks each week, such as the November 2024 Blue Yonder attack, which, by infiltrating one supply chain operator, disrupted retailers from supermarkets to Starbucks. The data and power demands of artificial intelligence, in particular, keep driving larger companies into the cloud — but it’s a gold rush fraught with danger.

OpenAI, the fast-growing maker of ChatGPT, is tripling the size of its D.C. policy team and trying to promote a sweeping new plan to deliver cheaper energy to data centers. Though its 12-person Washington policy staff is still small compared to tech giants like Amazon and Meta — which have more people employed as registered lobbyists alone — OpenAI’s moves show the company wants to catch up as it angles for federal support. After four years of President Joe Biden taking a hard line against Big Tech growth and drafting broad regulations for new AI platforms, the incoming Trump administration…
