Data centre owners urge U.S. Treasury to keep renewable energy subsidy rules
The Data Center Coalition, which represents data center owners including Google, Amazon and Microsoft, called on U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to uphold existing rules for wind and solar energy subsidies, saying they have enabled the industry to grow quickly and stay ahead of competition from China. Tougher rules on how projects can qualify for federal clean energy tax credits could slow development of new electricity generation at a time of surging power demand driven by artificial intelligence and the digital economy. "Any regulatory friction that slows down deployment of new generation today directly impacts our ability to meet AI-era electricity demands tomorrow," the coalition wrote in its letter to Bessent. The letter is dated August 4 but was seen by Reuters on Friday. U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order in July directing Treasury to tighten clean energy tax credit rules, including redefining what it means for a project to have started construction. The industry has relied on the existing rules for the last decade, and advisory firm Clean Energy Associates projected this week that the United States could lose about 60 gigawatts of planned solar capacity through 2030 if stricter "beginning of construction" rules are implemented. Between 2017 and 2023, the U.S. data center industry contributed $3.5 trillion to the nation's gross domestic product and directly employed over 600,000 workers, according to the DCC. The Treasury Department is expected to issue updated guidelines as soon as August 18.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai on how AI has changed hiring for engineering and programming jobs: We are making sure ...
Google is bringing back in-person interviews after AI-powered cheating has made virtual hiring unreliable, CEO Sundar Pichai announced. "We are making sure we'll introduce at least one round of in-person interviews for people, just to make sure the fundamentals are there," Pichai said on the Lex Fridman podcast in June. The problem has become so widespread that Google employees are demanding management abandon remote interviews entirely, as software engineering interviews , which involve real-time coding challenges, have become increasingly compromised by candidates using AI tools off-camera to generate answers. During a February internal town hall meeting at Google, employees directly confronted leadership about the issue. "Can we get onsite job interviews back?" one employee asked, according to audio recordings reviewed by CNBC. "There are many email threads about this topic. If budget is a constraint, can we get the candidates to an office or environment we can control?" AI is making virtual interviews easier for job seekers but tougher for companies Brian Ong, Google's vice president of recruiting, admitted the company faces a fundamental challenge. While virtual interviews are two weeks faster and easier to schedule, he acknowledged "we definitely have more work to do to integrate how AI is now more prevalent in the interview process." Some hiring managers report that over 50% of candidates are now cheating in virtual technical interviews. The problem has become so severe that interviewers are instructed to probe candidates extensively to determine if they actually understand their answers. Pichai responded to employee concerns by suggesting a hybrid approach: "Given we all work hybrid, I think it's worth thinking about some fraction of the interviews being in person. I think it'll help both the candidates understand Google's culture and I think it's good for both sides." Google isn't alone, the entire industry is trying to tackle the problem of virtual interviews The challenge extends far beyond Google's headquarters. Ong noted it's "an issue all of our other competitor companies are looking at," highlighting how AI cheating has become an industry-wide crisis threatening the integrity of technical hiring. Anthropic, the maker of AI chatbot Claude, now explicitly prohibits AI use during applications, requiring candidates to demonstrate "non-AI-assisted communication skills" and acknowledge they understand the policy. Amazon has begun requiring candidates to acknowledge they won't use unauthorised tools during interviews, according to company spokesperson who spoke with CNBC. Other major corporations are also implementing new anti-cheating measures. Cisco and McKinsey are among a growing number of companies bringing back or adding face-to-face meetings with candidates at various stages of the interview process. Deloitte reinstated in-person interviews for its UK graduate program. The shift represents a dramatic reversal from pandemic-era hiring practices, forcing companies to choose interview integrity over the convenience and cost savings of virtual recruitment.
