Amazon on October 2, 2026, pledged more than $1 billion over five years for US communities that host its data centers, the latest tech giant seeking to win over residents increasingly hostile to the AI-fueled construction boom.

The UK government is facing mounting pressure to end a £330-million (438 million USD) contract between the NHS and Palantir, as doctors, lawmakers and campaigners warn of ethical risks.
