Proposed U.S. law targets contact center AI, offshoring | TechTarget
Proposed U.S. law targets contact center AI, offshoring | TechTarget
The Keep Call Centers In America Act of 2025 -- both versions sponsored with bipartisan support -- would keep tabs on which U.S. companies with more than 50 employees plan to offshore at least 30% of their customer support operations or plan to relocate a whole contact center offshore. The Secretary of The U.S. Department of Labor would keep a publicly available list of these businesses -- those that make the list risk losing federal grants and would be ineligible for federal contracts.

Resisting GenAI and Big Tech in Higher Education. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.
Generative AI is permeating higher education in many different ways—it is all around us and increasingly embedded in university work and life, even if we don’t want to use it. But people are also sounding the alarm: Gen AI is disrupting learning and undermining trust in the integrity of academic work, while its energy consumption, use of water, and rapid expansion of data centers are exacerbating ecological crises. What can we do? How do we resist? Come learn about the environmental, social, economic, and political threats that AI poses and how we can individually and collectively resist and refuse. Come learn about how some are challenging the narrative of inevitability. Join an interactive discussion with international scholars and activists on resisting GenAI and big tech in higher education. Inputs from multiple scholar-activists including Christoph Becker (U of Toronto, CA), Mary Finley-Brook (U of Richmond, USA), Dan McQuillan (Goldsmiths U of London, UK), Sinéad Sheehan (University of Galway, Ireland) Jennie Stephens (National University of Ireland Maynooth, IE), and Paul Lachapelle (U of Montana, USA).

Character.AI is ending its chatbot experience for kids | TechCrunch
Character.AI is ending its chatbot experience for kids | TechCrunch

Character.AI is removing open-ended companion chats for anyone under 18 after increasing concerns about emotional attachment, dependency, and mental health risk among younger users. Here’s what’s changing: Companion-style chats are being phased out for all minors. The platform is rolling out stricter age verification. The app will refocus on creative and role-based interactions, not emotional support. Usage time limits will show up before the full removal.

5 Things I Love About BoodleBox
BoodleBox, a platform built for educators, creators, and teams who want to collaborate with AI—without the noise or the overwhelm. What I love about BoodleBox is how it prioritizes the human. You get to decide when AI should join a conversation. You can choose the AI model that is best for the task. You control the knowledge AI has access to. You can bring your idea to life. AI is just a partner.

Teachers Are Using AI to Help Write IEPs. Advocates Have Concerns
Among the biggest landmines she and others have identified: Large-language models like ChatGPT are trained using literature that doesn’t adequately or accurately reflect the experiences of people with disabilities, creating the threat of bias in their outputs; educators violate student privacy laws if they input data like test results into unsecured platforms; and AI apps sometimes fabricate studies or misrepresent their findings.

Google Labs & DeepMind Launch Pomelli AI Marketing Tool
Google Labs & DeepMind Launch Pomelli AI Marketing Tool

Google Labs and DeepMind release Pomelli, an AI marketing tool that scans a company’s website to build a “Business DNA” profile and produce on-brand assets. The tool is now in public beta in English across the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Pomelli captures tone, color palette, fonts, and visual style to keep copy and visuals consistent across social posts, ads, and sites. It also proposes campaign ideas and lets users edit text or images before downloading finished materials. Google positions Pomelli as a shortcut for small and midsize businesses that lack in-house creative teams, potentially cutting agency costs and production time. The company is treating the release as an early experiment and is actively soliciting user feedback to refine the product.
