Alaska Lags Behind on AI Regulation | Anchorage News

2026/08/10

Alaska’s lagging behind the rest of the U.S. on AI regulation, while other states enforce rules for chatbots, job algorithms, and election deepfakes — Alaska has none. A new bill cracked down on AI-generated child abuse content, but it’s a tiny step. No laws require transparency in automated decisions or protect against political deepfakes. Though a task force proposal fizzled, a new research initiative at the University of Alaska Fairbanks aims to finally tackle AI’s complex impact

Iceberg to Iowa: A Real Cold Story | Anchorage News

2026/08/09

An iceberg from Alaska didn’t magically appear in Iowa—but a real chunk of ice did, thanks to a Saudi prince in 1977. Funded entirely by him, the glacier piece traveled to Ames, Iowa, for a conference on using icebergs as freshwater sources. It’s part of a long history—from 1825 proposals to cool air, to Chilean breweries using Antarctic ice, to mid-century dreams of towing ice to California. While still wildly ambitious today, this quirky project proved that even the most outlandish ideas can

2026/08/09

Alaska’s bold plan to revive a Sitka black-tailed deer population on the Kenai Peninsula is hitting rocky terrain—13 of 19 relocated deer died, mostly from winter-related causes and transport mishaps. Despite the grim start, officials are pushing ahead with a second wave of 15–20 deer this fall, aiming for hunting opportunities and food security down the line. Critics call it a costly gamble, arguing the high mortality rate and decades-long timeline make it a waste. Fish and Game insists the

2026/08/09

Alaska’s fisheries debate is gaining national attention—and for good reason. Industrial trawlers off the Atlantic and Gulf coasts are decimating forage fish like herring and menhaden with massive nets that catch everything, including endangered species. These fleets, often foreign-owned, harvest billions of pounds annually—mostly for fishmeal and pet food, not human consumption—and get taxpayer bailouts after crashes. The ripple effects are devastating: striped bass populations collapse,

Alaska’s top court just shut down former Senator Lora Reinbold’s lawsuit over her Facebook page blocking — ruling that legislative immunity protects lawmakers from lawsuits for actions taken while in office, even if due process claims are raised. The court also tossed her late amendment request and dismissed claims against the executive branch since she’s no longer a legislator. Reinbold’s case is officially closed — but the court left the door open for future disputes. Listen in

Alaska’s governor race is turning into a chaotic circus with seventeen candidates scrambling to make the top four in an open primary, where name recognition and cash are king. Voters are overwhelmed, confused, and tired of ads, while Democrats may face off against each other in the general election and Republicans risk splitting their vote. With polls tight and no clear frontrunner, this is less about policy and more about who can outmaneuver the pack in the final weeks before August 18th.
