Robinhood has announced a new feature allowing AI agents to trade stocks on its platform. Users can create a separate account for an AI agent, allocating a specific amount of money for it to trade autonomously. While this offers a novel way to automate investment decisions, Robinhood cautions that AI-driven trading carries significant risks, including the potential loss of the entire investment. The feature is in beta, initially supporting equities, with plans to expand to options and cryptocurrencies. This development underscores the increasing integration of AI in financial services, albeit with notable warnings about its risks.

Judge allows NAACP lawsuit over xAI pollution to proceed
xAI's attempt to dismiss the NAACP's Clean Air Act lawsuit failed after a federal judge ruled that its gas turbines are not exempt mobile sources and that plaintiffs have standing. This legal setback confirms that AI infrastructure operators cannot bypass environmental permitting by classifying heavy industrial equipment as temporary or mobile. The ruling forces xAI to face scrutiny over air quality impacts at its Colossus data center, setting a precedent for how large-scale compute facilities are regulated under existing environmental laws.
