The Download: inside OpenAI’s Hugging Face hack, and a new EV takes on the US

MIT Technology Review's daily Download newsletter covers eight distinct stories including Meta's child-safety settlement, Nvidia's proposed $13 billion acquisition of Hugging Face, an AI-assisted brain tumour removal, China-linked hacking targeting US federal institutions, proposed US semiconductor tariffs, nuclear spacecraft design, drone warfare, and Google restructuring its AI responsibility team out of DeepMind. AI features in several items but as one thread among many unrelated topics. No Australian government or APS-specific angle is present.
