Government
💸 AI’s Power Bill Is Showing Up in Your Mailbox

The Bite:
AI data centers are expanding faster than the U.S. power grid can handle.

To keep up, utilities are upgrading infrastructure, buying emergency power, and spreading the cost across everyone’s electric bill.

That means households are paying more.
Not because they use more power, but because AI does.

This isn’t a short-term spike.
It’s what happens when AI quietly becomes core infrastructure.

Snacks:

• U.S. electricity prices rose 5.2% year over year, with areas near data centers seeing far steeper increases

• Data centers could consume up to 12% of U.S. electricity by 2028, up from 4.4% in 2023

• Virginia hosts the world’s largest data center cluster, with expansion moving into new states

• Utilities and states are scrambling to make large AI users pay more of their own load

• Federal officials are pressuring PJM to intervene as costs climb

Why it Bites:
AI is being treated like software, but it behaves like infrastructure. Closer to highways or water systems than apps.

The problem is we’re building it at startup speed on a grid that moves at government speed.

Until pricing catches up, regular households are effectively subsidizing AI progress for companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta.

The uncomfortable truth:
if AI is going to power the economy, someone has to pay for the wires.

Right now, that someone is you.

IBM
🏢 Is Selling “Adult Supervision” for AI Agents

The Bite:
Big companies love the idea of AI agents that can act on their own.

What they don’t love is what happens when those agents make mistakes, touch sensitive systems, or quietly break compliance rules.

IBM just launched a new enterprise service designed to sit between companies and their AI agents. It adds guardrails, controls, and oversight.

It’s a clear signal that agentic AI isn’t stalled because it doesn’t work, but because most companies aren’t ready to manage it.

Snacks:

• IBM launched Enterprise Advantage to help companies deploy and govern agentic AI at scale

• The service bundles consulting, reusable AI assets, and governance frameworks

• It’s aimed squarely at CIOs and CTOs worried about runaway automation

• IBM is positioning itself as the layer that keeps AI agents useful and contained

• The pitch: autonomy is powerful, but only if someone’s watching

Why it bites:
Companies want AI to behave like employees, taking initiative, executing tasks, and working across systems.

All that without the accountability, oversight, or responsibility that comes with human workers.

That mismatch is why agentic AI keeps getting stuck in pilots instead of production.

IBM’s move makes sense: enterprises need supervision before autonomy.

But it also shows how fear, complexity, and risk have become a business model.
