Washington and Beijing have already made their move in the technological struggle for TikTok. Following the September 19 call between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump, the White House confirmed an agreement for the Chinese App to operate in the U.S. under a new, majority-American company, with Oracle as the guardian of the algorithm.
The agreement, backed by Beijing, will allow Oracle to inspect, retrain, and supervise the recommendation engine, ensuring that the data of the 150 million users in the North American country is kept out of China's reach.
ByteDance, owner of the social network worldwide, will retain less than 20% ownership, while Washington promises to shield the code from foreign interference.
Geopolitics is now written in programming language: power is not only in the offices, but in every line that decides what we see on the screen.
Trump tests Silicon Valley with more expensive H-1B visas
Following the mix of politics and technology, Trump shakes up Silicon Valley again. Eight months after his second inauguration, with the heads of the largest US tech companies in the front row, Trump raised the annual cost of H-1B visas to $100,000, in an attempt to protect American workers and pressure large companies to rely less on foreign talent. While some companies advise their employees with valid visas not to leave the country to avoid getting caught by the new rules, the CEOs of OpenAI and Nvidia, Sam Altman and Jensen Huang, support the changes. According to them, the measure encourages the hiring of the "best talents" and streamlines processes, supporting both business competitiveness and the technological future of the nation. Demand for AI experts skyrockets in Mexico
And while Washington makes foreign talent more expensive, in Mexico artificial intelligence is accelerating at full speed. A report from the University of La Rioja (UNIR) in Mexico and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) reveals that the demand for AI specialists grew by 95% in the last year, with more than 14,000 vacancies in data science, machine learning, and business analytics. The study projects that by the end of this year half of the tasks will be automated and that between 2030 and 2050, 92 million jobs worldwide could disappear, although 170 million new ones will emerge. Therefore, it could be said that, while Washington makes foreign talent more expensive, Mexico is preparing for a market where code and AI define the opportunities of the future. Google 'turbocharges' searches The tech giant announced the arrival of the AI Mode in Spanish for its search engine worldwide. Now users will not only be able to write questions, but also speak to it, upload photos or use the camera so that the AI can help them explore. Based on the Gemini 2.5 model, this mode understands complex queries that previously required several searches, breaking down questions into subtopics and bringing more complete, clear, and useful answers. From planning a trip to comparing coffee methods, Google seeks to become a personal assistant that finds quick and reliable information. Although it is not yet perfect, it promises to save users time and help them discover quality content that they might not even have known existed.

Margaret, the AI that arrives in Peruvian agriculture
Artificial intelligence already has a name in agriculture: Margaret. This "personal assistant" arrives in Peru after its debut in Chile, designed to transform the production of fruits and vegetables, from blueberries to grapes, automating repetitive tasks and connecting all the systems of agro-exporting companies. The most striking thing about Margaret is that she interacts via WhatsApp, voice messages, and even in Quechua, offering reports, graphics, and campaign planning as if she were a 'jedi' of digital agriculture. According to Hispatec, Margaret will allow "carbon intelligences" to focus on what truly adds value, while "silicon intelligences" handle the heavy lifting. Generative AI promises to accelerate productivity without replacing human talent, and aims to revolutionize the agribusiness in Latin America.Miss Venezuela puts a stop to AI
The Miss Venezuela organization announced that it will take legal action against any attempt to modify images of its candidates using Artificial Intelligence without authorization. From parades to official photos, only accredited photographers and specialists can intervene in the images, the organization announced.You may be interested in:NGOs warn about risks of digital advertising in Mexican girls, boys and adolescents
The statement recalls that Venezuelan laws on intellectual property and copyright protect the reputation and image of individuals, and that AI is not an excuse to infringe them. In a turn that combines beauty and technology, the contest warns that any unauthorized digital creation could be considered unfair competition. In the midst of the boom in generative AI, Miss Venezuela marks its own territory in the defense of image and digital ethics.
