Florida wants to create criminal penalties for AI companies when chatbots participate in crimes

Florida's Attorney General, James Uthmeier, announced proposed legislation to hold artificial intelligence companies criminally liable when their AI systems participate in or facilitate crimes. The measure would reach companies with control over the development, training, and deployment of AI systems, potentially resulting in steep fines, compensation to victims, court oversight, and in the most serious cases, suspension of operations in the state. The proposal comes amid an investigation into ChatGPT related to the shooting attack at Florida State University in 2025, which left two people dead and five injured. The state has also expressed concern about AI-generated scams and child sexual abuse material generated by artificial intelligence. The legislation has not yet been passed and is expected to be discussed during the regular legislative session in March.

AI can increase productivity in renewables by up to 25%, BCG study says

A study by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) reveals that artificial intelligence can increase worker productivity in the renewable energy sector by between 15% and 25% and improve energy yield by one to three percentage points. Despite the potential, the report warns that most companies struggle to scale initiatives beyond the pilot phase and convert technological ambition into real value. The study indicates that energy companies plan to triple their investment in AI in 2026, and that just 10 to 15 well-selected use cases can capture between 60% and 70% of the total value potential. In the Portuguese context, BCG highlights that the agenda gains relevance as the country strengthens its energy transition and modernizes infrastructure.
