    Turkey's Milli İstihbarat Akademisi Report on AI's Impact on Global Politics

    The Milli İstihbarat Akademisi (MİA) has published a report titled 'Discussions on Technopolitical Order in World Politics and Turkey'. The report analyzes the rising technopolitical competition in the age of artificial intelligence and compares technorealist, technopragmatist, and technohumanist approaches. It emphasizes that AI will determine the new grammar of global politics, economy, and social structure, and Turkey should actively participate in this transformation to seize new opportunities and avoid strategic surprises. The report also urges Turkey to develop its own AI-era technopolitical doctrine that combines strategic capability, secure AI design, and public legitimacy.

    Amazon's Zoox Wins First US Approval for Paid Robotaxis Without Human Controls

    Amazon's Zoox has won U.S. approval for limited commercial deployment of its novel steering-wheel-free robotaxis, a first for the autonomous ride industry. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) granted Zoox a temporary exemption allowing up to 2,500 vehicles annually for two years, subject to an enhanced oversight structure. This clears the way for Zoox to begin charging passengers for rides, provided it also obtains state and local approvals. The agency determined that Zoox's systems exceed the equivalent performance requirements of a compliant vehicle, but additional reporting requirements have been imposed to ensure safety.
