The Data Center in Indiana will not be stopping anytime soon- Meta Chooses Indiana for New $115M AI Workforce Academy INDIANAPOLIS — Meta is betting big on Central Indiana to build the physical foundations of the artificial intelligence revolution. On Tuesday, the tech giant announced the start of America’s Workforce Academy (AWA), a first-of-its-kind, $115 million skilled trades initiative designed to combat a nationwide shortage of workers capable of constructing AI infrastructure. Indiana has been selected as one of just four pilot states in the country to host the program. Other locations include Louisiana, Texas and Ohio. While the physical training center will be located in Indianapolis, Meta has tapped the Boone County Economic Development Corporation (Boone EDC) as its core local community partner to drive recruitment across Central Indiana. The academy represents a radical shift in traditional workforce development. It requires no prior experience, no college degree, and promises zero student debt. Instead of paying for school, participants will actually be paid to learn. The 4-to-5-week intensive bootcamp is fully funded by Meta, covering all tuition, travel, lodging, and a daily stipend for trainees. The moment an applicant is accepted into the academy, they receive a guaranteed job offer from one of Meta’s construction contractor partners, conditioned on graduation. 93 WIBC Indianapolis

University of Chicago is attempting to stop students from relying on artificial intelligence “As part of a broader strategy to curb AI usage, the University of Chicago Law School is banning first-year students from using phones and laptops in the classroom. The school says it's to, quote, ensure students actually learn to think critically, strategically, and independently without relying on AI, end quote” More on this policy: Classroom ban is a pilot for 2026–2027. No phones, laptops or tablets in core 1L courses The goal is to force students to think critically and independently during class time, when AI reliance is most tempting and damaging to early skill-building All Exams will be In-class, closed-book, no internet, electronic access or apps allowed. This directly prevents AI use during testing

Senator Banks Remembers Brett Scrogham on Senate Floor WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Senator Jim Banks (R-Ind.) delivered remarks on the Senate floor about the senseless murder of 23-year-old Brett Scrogham and the urgent need for Indianapolis to end soft on crime policies that have enabled violent crime. “Madam President, 23-year-old Brett Scrogham of Greenwood, Indiana had a bright future ahead of him. After graduating as a top 100 student from the IU Kelley School of Business, Brett had plans to invest in housing properties and help his community grow and prosper. As a young child, Brett helped a neighbor rescue her dogs from a terrible house fire. Friends of his referred to him as “a God-fearing Christian man,” who was always willing to help people. Though I never had the chance to meet him, it’s clear to me that Brett was really an incredible person. And now I’ll never get the chance to meet this bright young man. Tragically, Brett was murdered in cold blood this weekend on his way to an Indians game with his family. The killing took place in a parking garage next to the biggest church in Indianapolis. College students and young families park there every week. I am heartbroken by this senseless act of violence. Brett’s family are in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope that the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department will arrest the murderer soon, who is still at large. The Mayor of Indianapolis put out a weak statement that didn’t even mention Brett’s name, and so I wanted to come down to the floor and talk about who he was and what’s happening in Indianapolis. Brett’s murder is the second murder in downtown Indianapolis in less than a week. Just before the Indy500, Gregory Anderson, a father of five children, was murdered in the downtown bar district in Indianapolis. And then last Sunday, a 16-year-old teenager was murdered in the Northwest Side of Indy. Mr. President, these murders have no place in Indiana, especially in our capitol city. Indianapolis is truly a great city, and it has so much going for it. Indy is home to incredible businesses, world-class sporting events like the Indy500 which took place last week, and so much more. But what’s been happening in Indianapolis is an epidemic. Soft on crime policies are ruining this great city. How much longer will we allow this to go on? The reason Indianapolis is plagued by violent crime is because Marion County lets it happen. Marion County prosecutor Ryan Mears refuses to prosecute violent criminals. For example, one man in Indiana has faced over 30 criminal charges, most of them felony charges in Marion County, since 2020. This man should be locked up forever. But he’s not, thanks to Ryan Mears, liberal judges, and all of their soft-on-crime polices. And the rest of Indiana is punished for Marion County’s refusal to act. Ryan Mears is a prosecutor gone rogue. He refuses to keep violent criminals behind bars and is an absolute failure of a prosecutor. And it’s not only the prosecutor that refuses to enforce the law. State Sen. Andrea Hunley, also a Democrat, recently said with regards to crime in Indianapolis that “We are not going to ever enforce our way out of the problem.” That is not only a lie; it’s also an excuse. If we keep making excuses for why we can’t enforce the law and keep violent criminals in prison, we will never have safe neighborhoods and communities—and innocent people like Brett will continue pay the price. Everyone wants to talk about fairness, dignity and legal protections for criminal defendants. But what about Brett? Where was his fairness? Why do we talk about the dignity of criminals and never the dignity of their victims? We know how to keep our cities safe: we need to put large amounts of police officers on patrol, let them do their job, and ensure that criminals remain in prison. But the opposite keeps happening. 93 WIBC Indianapolis

AI is transforming the digital world, but it comes with a huge energy demand in the real world. Dai Hancheng 戴瀚程, Associate Professor at the PKU School of Environmental Science and Engineering, discusses how China could connect its growing AI industry with abundant renewable electricity during a PKU Masterclass. With initiatives linking data in the east with computing capacity in the west, Professor Dai shows the US college students in the 2026 China Deep Dive program how digital development and the transition to clean energy could work together. The future of AI may depend not only on smarter computing, but also on where its electricity comes from.

For most, a “Take 5” oil change is a fifteen-minute convenience. For J. Williams, a twenty-four-year-old Indiana college student, a routine service in late 2023 sparked a 600-day legal battle that has now reached the steps of the Indiana Supreme Court. Williams, a Criminal Justice student and traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivor, describes a “downward spiral” that began at a Take 5 location on North Michigan Road in Hamilton County. What started as a dispute over a faulty oil change has devolved into a complex web of procedural dismissals, accusations of corporate stonewalling, and a high-stakes battle over a $10,000 engine failure.

LEAKED AUDIO FROM META ALL-HANDS AHEAD OF LAYOFFS TOMORROW Mark Zuckerberg, in his own words, told Meta employees their devices are being tracked to train AI models. His reasoning? Meta employees are smarter than the contract workers the rest of the industry uses for data labeling. So instead of hiring outside help, Meta is turning its own workforce into training data. "The average intelligence of the people who are at this company is significantly higher than the average set of people that you can get to do tasks if you're working through these contractors." He wants the AI to learn how "really smart people use computers" by watching employees work. He says the content is "stripped out" and none of it is used for surveillance or performance tracking. Then he admitted the rollout was botched but said Meta intentionally kept employees in the dark because leaking competitive AI strategy would help rivals. "It is not strategically in your interest for us to communicate everything in all the detail that we normally would on this." Translation: We're watching you, we told you as little as possible, and we did it on purpose. AI is replacing the contractor. Then the employee trains the AI. Then the AI replaces the employee. This story and this company keeps getting weirder.

Mark Zuckerberg is laying out a sweeping vision for AI: a personal superintelligence available 24/7 to everyone. Zuckerberg says these AI agents could eventually help people across nearly every part of life, including work, learning, relationships, and mental health, as Meta releases its new open-weight "Muse Glimmer" model and pushes to make advanced AI more widely accessible. At the same time, Meta is investing in the people and communities behind that future, including America’s Workforce Academy and a $1 billion community fund tied to its growing data-center footprint. His message is simple: "The future is for everyone."

Sam Altman: "Very soon an AI will just be running for you in the background all the time" That entire model is on its way out. But the vision isn't the tell. This is: He says everyone's going to want "so much more of this AI infrastructure than we think." That's not a roadmap. That's a man admitting he can't build chips and power fast enough. The always-on assistant is the headline. The infrastructure bottleneck underneath it is the trade almost nobody is pricing in. That gap is the whole edge.
