Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t care to lose $ 200,000 million in AI. The real risk would not be betting on it, ensures

“We are going to invest aggressively. Even if we lost a couple of hundreds of billions of dollars it would be an annoyancebut it is better than being left behind in the race for superintelligence. “Those words recently pronounced Mark Zuckerberg, Meta CEO. The founder of Facebook does not tend to shake his hand when making risky technological bets. He already knows what it is to lose them: Metaverso is being a failure for the moment, but even if he does not seem to want to leave that bet. The company continues to invest in it even though It is estimated which has already lost 45,000 million dollars in that project. But for him the commitment to AI, although it seems exorbitant, is almost mandatory strategically. In the interview In the Podcast Access The Meta CEO explained how In fact the Risk for a company as a goal would not be aggressive enough. In the recent Trump dinner With the great leaders of the technological segment in the US, Zuckerberg promised to invest at least 600,000 million dollars in the United States until 2028. Analysts believe that The numbers do not fit: It is estimated that Meta will invest about 80,000 million dollars in the US in the second half of 2025 (including all its expenses). That would make it necessary that from 2026 to 2028 he spent 520,000 million, but experts do not see it feasible and some They think than these comments They are more business marketing than anything else. But what is true is that both goal and other large technology companies are investing extraordinary amounts of money in this field. We already saw that Capex’s forecasts of some of them are huge in 2025 due to that commitment to AI data centers: Amazon: 100,000 Millions of dollars Microsoft: 80,000 Millions of dollars Google: 75,000 Millions of dollars Goal: 65,000 Millions of dollars Apple: 12,000 Millions of dollars Thus, Mark Zuckerberg is not too frightened to lose 200,000 million dollars in AI, but he also knows what is something like that. In April 2024 their financial results were so disastrous That their shares suddenly 19%, which was equivalent precisely to a drop in the stock market capitalization of 200,000 million dollars. Of course, Meta recovered. In that downturn the goal shares were just 500 dollars. Today and a half later, they are at maximum, $ 778. The company has stumbled in the past, but Zuckerberg has risen again and again AI bubble: “I think there is definitely the possibility, at least empirically, based on large infrastructure constructions of the past and how they led to bubbles.” And even so, Zuckerberg is clear that this is a critical moment for this technology and it is better to bet on the big not to do it and lose. For him going too slow can make you lose a privilege position, and that would be fatal because according to him “it will be the most important technology that will allow the greatest number of new products, innovation and creation of value in history.” In Xataka | Big Tech have buried thousands and billions in AI.

This Mark Zuckerberg is not Mark Zuckerberg. So Mark Zuckerberg has demanded

There are people with very bad luck with their name. Tell them Mark Zuckerberga lawyer from Indiana (USA) specialized in bankruptcies, who has been suffering from having that name for years. So much so that it has ended up demanding Mark Zuckerberg that we all know, Meta CEO. Stop closing my Facebook page. Zuckerberg – the lawyer – makes use of a Facebook commercial page to promote your business and to communicate with potential customers. The problem is that in the last eight years target has disabled its account five times. The moderation algorithms From Facebook they believe that this user page is that of someone who is supplanting the identity of the “true and unique” Mark Zuckerberg, and deactivates it. “It is not funny”. The lawyer is fed up with the situation and in an interview with the Wthr local TV chain in Indiana explained how he has been exercising advocacy since 1987, when Mark Zuckerberg was three years old. For him the situation “is not funny” and in fact made it clear that so much closure without real justification “pissed”. Stephen, not elliot. In that interview the lawyer also pointed out that there is a subtle difference in their names. In America it is common to use an “intermediate name” to differentiate precisely people who are called the same. The goal CEO is Mark E. Zuckerberg (E is “Elliot”), while this lawyer is called Mark S. Zuckerberg (the S comes from “Stephen”). And on top of that has invested in Facebook advertising. The problem is also more painful if we take into account that Zuckerberg (lawyer) has spent $ 11,000 over the years in Facebook advertising to promote your legal business. Demand to song. The situation has ended up causing the lawyer has sued to the finishing CEO. In the documentation it includes A copy of an email thread in which you can see how it has been in touch with the platform since 2017 to try to solve the problem. In one of those emails the lawyer came to joke for despair saying that “if you find you find the youngest and most richer Zuckerberg Mark, Salud it from me and tell him that it causes me a great disgust every day.” A constant nightmare. This lawyer already created a website called iammarkzuckerberg.com in which he has precisely narrating how his life has been conditioned by name. Among the problems I mentioned, for example, I can’t use my name when making reservations or doing business because people assume that I am a joker and hang me. ” And if they confuse him he is worse. Mark S. Zuckerberg is a known lawyer in the circles in which he works and sometimes goes to Las Vegas to participate in talks. It has ever happened to him that when he gets there, “a limousine driver was waiting for me at the end of the staircase with the” Mark Zuckerberg “poster, which caused chaos since a crowd had been waiting (to the finishing CEO) and was disappointed.” Death threats. Another of the Many problems That he has with his name is that he receives calls and messages addressed to the Meta CEO, and sometimes those messages are death threats or money requests. If goal goes into bankruptcy, offers its services. The biggest problem has ended up losing income in your business for all those closures on your Facebook page. “I don’t wish Mark E. Zuckerberg any evil,” he wrote on his website. “And if you are going through financial difficulties and is in Indiana, I will gladly take care of your case in honor of our homonymy.” In Xataka | The new AI star is Alexandr Wang: Zuckerberg has given the keys of the future to a child prodigy of 97

Mark Zuckerberg is transforming an idyllic neighborhood of Palo Alto into his personal strength

Grow PRK is an opulent neighborhood of Palo Alto in California, which for decades has been the dreamed home of lawyers, executives and renowned teachers. A place where wooded streets and single -family houses made up a quiet and community stamp. Until Mark Zuckerberg moved. The arrival of the founder of Meta to the neighborhood was noted. As He has reported The New York Times, ended this idyllic peace. The billionaire, whose fortune is estimated Right in 270,000 million dollars, it has invested 110 million dollars in the purchase of at least 11 properties, creating a residential macrocomplex that has brought with them pharaonic works, extreme surveillance and a deep discomfort among the neighbors who still remain. A monopoly in real life. What was previously a normal neighborhood has become the Zuckerberg personal monopoly board. Since 2011, it has gone acquiring the houses surrounding their main residence in a staggered manner In Englewood Drive and Hamilton Avenue. The offers, often of the double or triple of their market value, have caused one family to leave the neighborhood. To maintain a low profile, purchases were made through limited liability societies, with natural theme names such as ‘Pine Burrow’ or ‘Seed Breeze’. The result is that Zuckerberg now has an entire apple, with several empty properties in the middle of the worst housing that crosses California. The construction of a small city. Zuckerberg’s plan was not simply to accumulate houses, but to create a great complex to have all the comforts available. That is why five of the properties they acquired have merged into an enclosure that includes: The main residence where the goal CEO lives with his family. Guest houses. Gardens extensive and a pickleball track. A pool with a ‘hydrosuelo’ that allows it to be covered by complex to make parties. But its great residential complex also reaches the depths. And it is that underground, the project is even more ambitious. The work permits speak of basements, but the neighbors describe it as ‘bunkers’, or what colloquially already seems to name it as the “Batcueva of the billionaires.” And logically everything has meant having works almost uninterrupted for eight years, Filling the quiet streets of this noise neighborhoodmachinery and debris. This is something that has not only done in California Zuckerberg, but is also doing in Hawaiiwhere you are building mansions on land of almost 400 hectares in total. But when knowing the reason for these, the confidentiality of the plans is what we are. Zuckerberg is seen as an invader. The presence of the Meta CEO feels daily. Surveillance is one of the most conflicting points. There are security cameras that point to neighboring houses and a private security team that constantly patrol the streets of the neighborhood. And they even tell how the members of this team question people who simply walk down the street, as if they were intruders or suspects of something. One of the most affected people, Michael Kieschnick, a neighbor whose house is surrounded by all three sides by Zuckerberg properties, is one of the most critical voices when pointing out that “no neighborhood wants to be occupied.” Although this is precisely what he feels with the presence of the Meta CEO. “The billionaires are accustomed to creating their own rules” is the feeling that this neighbor has to see how the City Council initially rejected the initial construction plan. But then it has been slowly developing to be able to raffle the refusal that was given in 2016. The Zuckerberg family doesn’t see it that way. One of the spokesmen that has been authorized to talk to the press defends that the couple strives to be modelic neighbors. He ensures that intense security is necessary due to “specific and credible threats”, that cameras do not point to the properties of other people and that the events that are developed are notified with time. They even try to compensate for discomfort. In one of the last parties that took place in this complex, an ice cream cart was sent to the neighbors. And even when the works were developed and the noise could become very annoying, those affected with foamy wine, chocolates or donuts were presented. And even giving away headphones with noise cancellation. It is a new fashion among Millionaires. Zuckerberg is not the only one who has taken this path. Others like Jeff Bezos too has invested billions in mansions, ranches And even on an island as it is Billionaire Bunker who presented as ‘little’ problem the Not knowing how to manage your excrements. Of figures admired to “villains of the 21st century”. We are seeing precisely as the great technological figures that were highly respected by marking a turning point in our vision of the entire world, it is changing.

Mark Zuckerberg is building mansions in Hawaii as if there were no tomorrow. No one knows what

Mark Zuckerberg is putting target legs with his Galactic signings For his Superintelligence team, and also Hawaii, where he has been buying land and building buildings more than a decade. So much later, what is pursued there is still an unknown, especially in terms of details as a mysterious and giant underground bunker. Zuck continues to buy and build to expand his complex megalomaniac. In 2023, We knew the existence From Kolau Ranch, a new mansion that Mark Zuckerberg was building surrounded by luxuries. The figures left no doubt about the magnitude of the project: a minimum of 270 million dollars (counting only the value of the land and the main work) and 500 hectares. According to a new investigation of WiredAt the beginning of the year there has been a new purchase of land totaling almost 400 hectares. In total, today the property of the CEO amounts to approximately 930 hectares. The expense? More than 300 million dollars. Because. It is the great mystery, nobody knows what plans exactly in mind. An old project employee summed up well the secretism that surrounds the constructions of the Meta CEO project: “It is the fight club. We do not talk about the fight club.” Behind this difficulty in obtaining information, even in the field, are strict confidentiality agreements signed by the workers. They have sworn silence and expose themselves to lose their jobs if they talk to the press. What is building exactly. The first part of the plan, in which there was an investment of at least 270 million, included two huge mansions with dizzy figures: 500 hectares, an underground shelter of 460 m2 and a dozen buildings with at least 30 rooms and 30 bathrooms. Now Zuckerberg is building three large more austere buildings (so to speak), more functional and far from opulence. According to the information that Wired has been able to access, each one has 16 rooms and, in common, share a space of 120 square meters. The global size of the buildings range from 700 to 1,000 square meters. The confirmed. Brandi Hoffine Barr, representative of Zuckerberg in Hawaii, has confirmed to Wired that the new buildings will be used as guest housing: family, friends and staff. Not only are they 10 times larger than the middle house of the archipelago: two of them will cost between 3.5 and 4 million dollars. One of the most enigmatic parts of the megalomaniac project of the Meta CEO is its underground bunker. Regarding this, what he said is that it is not a bunker For the end of the worldbut “A small shelter, A basement“ It has encountered a funeral problem. While Zuckerberg has been put in founding mode To recruit the major Galactic team of artificial intelligence (AI) and assemble Data centers in tentsKauai’s properties, in Hawaii, have not brought him very good news, according to Wired. Zuckerberg’s property is on a cemetery where Julian Ako’s ancestors, a local resident. And a local fight. After negotiations, Ako has made access to the land to register the tombs of his great -grandparents, because he knew that his great grandmother and her brother are buried there. The local community fears that if more remains appear, it is not notified due to the confidentiality agreements signed by the workers. According to Ako, if they discover more bones and communicate it, construction workers put their jobs into play. The problem is not new, because in its first purchases, in 2014, Zuckerberg had to deal with the rights that the premises had on their property. Despite this, for now, nothing slows Zuck. Representative Brandi Hoffine Barr acknowledged knowing the idiosyncrasy of the land in 2015, and states that they fenced and maintained the fossal part. Millionaire’s trend buying in Hawaii. Mark Zuckerberg or is the only billionaire who with his investments aggravates the problem: Jeff Bezos, Oprah Winfrey either Marc BenioffCEO of Salesforce, have also disbursed huge amounts of money for giving parts of the islands. Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, who recently has unseat Zuck as a richer man, Buy Lanai Island almost completely. The consequence? The locals had to leave. With a huge consequence in the state. Although Zuckerberg is resorting to philanthropia and financing non -profit organizations, his investment is contributing to a problem of the islands and global: extremely expensive housing and away from the financial possibilities of local citizens. Prices is triggered from the pandemic, when many rich and Teleworking They moved to the paradisiacal environment. Influence in other billionaires. The publication of the Zuckerberg plan and his giant bunker has influenced In the rich bunkers market. Al Corbi, founder of Strategically Armored & Fortified Environments (SAFE), told that the request for information on the construction of these elements increased considerably when Zuckerberg’s plans were made public. According to Corbi, recently bunkers “have grown a lot in size and stature”, pointing to details such as equipment to keep a family for a week. The question is whether they will have a Pendrive with Ia. Outstanding image | Braden Jarvis in Unspash, Goal In Xataka | Larry Page wants to get lost on an island, but it is not decided which.

A US nuclear power plant was going to close after running out of subsidies. Mark Zuckerberg has taken the opportunity to keep it

Training large models of artificial intelligence consumes so much energy that technology companies are “appropriate” of nuclear power plants. Goal saves a nuclear power plant. Goal, the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp matrix, He has just signed an agreement which symbolizes paradigm shift. The company led by Mark Zuckerberg has saved a nuclear power plant that had the days of a 20 -year contract. Constellation Energy Corp., the largest nuclear operator in the United States, will supply 1,121 megawatts of energy from its Central de Clinton, in Illinois, directly to the target data centers. The contract will begin in mid -2027 and will be in force until 2047. It is not a casual date. 2027 is when the state subsidy that kept the Clinton nuclear power plant. To understand it you have to rewind 10 years until 2017. At that time, the Clinton Power Station, like so many other nuclear centrals in the US, was on the tightrope. Unable to compete with the low prices of natural gas and the rise of renewables, its then owner, Exelon, threatened to close it. Only an intervention in extremis From the Illinois government, which approved a 10 -year subsidies package, the oxygen ball it needed. A Big Tech knocked on the door. Finally, it will be a technological giant, in full boom of generative artificial intelligence, which stays with the Illinois Central. Total goal consumption It has been quasite Between 2019 and 2023. Training and operating generative AI models requires giant data centers running at full performance 24 hours a day. This is where the main weakness of renewable energy sources is shown, such as photovoltaic or wind solar: despite being a key piece of the stark strategy of technology companies, their intermittency makes them an insufficient option. Nuclear energy, with a massive and stable supply, complete the puzzle allowing companies to maintain their commitments to be neutral in carbon emissions. Goal is not alone. The goal is the last one, but it is not an isolated case. Rather, it is the confirmation of a strategic trend that has been consolidated in the last two years. Technological giants have gone from signing energy purchase agreements with renewables to actively seek the stability of atomic energy. In a movement similar to Microsoft, Microsoft signed an agreement with Constellation for Reactivate Reactor 1 of the Three Mile Island Central (famous for the accident of your reactor 2). The Central, which had been closed in 2019, now feeds the Azure data centers for AI. Amazon Web Services has moved directly to a nuclear power plant. In March 2024 bought for 650 million dollars A gigantic data center adjacent to the Susquehanna plant, in Pennsylvania. The agreement guarantees 960 MW of direct energy for its AI operations.

What is Google technology to mark and detect contents made with artificial intelligence

Let’s explain What is and how does Synthid workthe tool developed by Google to mark and detect content made by AI. In a world like the current one in which the creation of texts and images with artificial intelligence is a reality, and where the video is the next step, so being able to make this identifiable content is important. So that you understand what it is about, we are going to start telling you what exactly this technology is and what it offers. Then, we will explain your operation a bit, and we will end up talking about your arrival and implementation. What is Synthid Synthid is a technology with which Mark the content that has been generated by artificial intelligence. What it does is generate a watermark in these published contents so that they are easier to detect by other systems, and that there is more transparency and trust in them. We live in a world in which it is already difficult to know if a text has been created by an AI or a human. The creation of images is also improving so much, that sometimes it is difficult to know when one has been created or simply modified using artificial intelligence. And the next step will be the video. This does not leave in a panorama in which the proliferation of false and misleading news seems to reach a new level, something that will make users begin to distrust even more in what is published. And it is in this context that Synthid technology arrives Created by Googleand that the company aspires that others also use. It is a technology that adds a watermark to the content created by AI, and then offers another technology to detect it. Google will start using this technology already in its generative AI systems. Therefore, When you generate an image with Geminito give an example, in the metadata of this image there will be a brand of water that you will not see, but other algorithms can detect to know if it is made by AI. Google’s idea is that other companies with AI systems to generate content They also adopt this standard. In this way, it will be much facilitated that then the rest of the platforms know if an image or video are made by an algorithm or a person has really made them. How Synthid works What Synthid does is embed digital water marks directly in images, audio, text or videos generated by artificial intelligence. These water marks are not visible, but are a line of code in the metadata that you are not going to notice. However, just as Google has this system to print water marks, it also has A version of Synthid to detect them call Synthid detector. In this way, its solution is able to generate the two necessary steps, to put an identifier to the content and to allow it to detect it. Therefore, the idea of ​​the company is that its chatbots and solutions to generate artificial intelligence content use this technology. Then, other companies will be able to use the Synthid detector to know if this content has been created by a Google AI. In fact, this can be An independent platform in which simply upload images, texts, videos and others, and will tell you if Pro Synthid has been created. And once this infrastructure is created, Google also expects other companies to be associated with them. In this way, they trust to make Synthid a standard for many to use it to put water marks, and many platforms also have the detector. When Synthid will arrive Although Synthid is a promising proposal and with many striking characteristics, At the moment it is not a universal standard. This means that it is only one of several proposals. Google is already betting on her products, but at the moment nothing more. The next step will be convince other AI companies to use this technologyand thus generate an ecosystem that makes it a standard. But for now this has not happened, and no matter how much Google marks its images, it is useless if no one else does. Therefore, we still do not know to what extent Synthid will end up use. The next months and years will give us a track If other companies join this technology or not. At the moment, Google has a list open for companies to start trying it.

Google already offers synthid to mark content generated by the as such. Now it will help us identify them

When Pope Francis I appeared With a colorful white coat of feathers, many probably believed that this image was real. It was not, but that image, Like Donald Trump’s arrestone thing made clear: that we were increasingly difficult to differentiate the images created by an AI of those that are not. How to solve it? Water marks. Among the possible solutions, there was a fairly obvious: identifying the images of AI as generated by AI. That is: every time someone asked Chatgpt an image with Studio Ghibli style oa grok any of Bill Gates with a gunthose models of AI should include certain metadata in the imagne file. Basically it would be like “Put a seal” to these images to be able to identify them in case of doubt. There Synthid enters. There is Several efforts In that sense, and among them is Synthid. This water brand technology was presented in 2023 And a year later They offered as a free tool so that anyone could implement it. Fight against Deepfakes. As those responsible for the company comment, since its launch in 2023 Synthid has placed water marks in more than 10,000 million images, videos, audio files and texts. This can be identified as generated by AI and thus reduce the possibilities of misinformation and erroneous attribution. In addition, they stand out in Google, the results generated by VI 3, Image 4 and Lyria 2 will continue to have Synthid water marks. The AI ​​content detector arrives. The company has announced during the Google I/O 2025 event that Synthid Detector launches, a verification portal to help users identify the contents generated by AI. Its operation is simple: it is enough to raise any content (text, image, video, audio), and the Synthid detector will identify whether the entire file or only one part contains synthid. Preparing for the good and the bad of AI. This type of tool can be especially useful for artists and creators who can thus defend their work as legitimate, but it is above all a useful option that helps us protect ourselves from Deepfakes and misinformation attempts. But. As we mentioned months ago, Synthid is a promising proposal and with many striking characteristics, but it has a problem: that (for the moment) It is not a universal standard. Here Google must not only use it on its platforms, but to reach a consensus with the rest of large technology so that there is a single open and interoperable system that solves the problem of water brands universally.

Ghibli’s fever has forced Openai to adopt an unprecedented measure: add water mark

He Viral phenomenon of the images generated by chatgpt that I mimic those of Studio Ghibli It has apparently caused an interesting reaction from OpenAI. One with which to avoid major evils. Water marks. The company is preparing the inclusion of water brands in the images it generates Your new AI modelImagegen. As indicated in Bleeping Computer, a researcher named Tibor Blaho He has found References to these water marks in the Android application of Chatgpt. They already did it with texts generated by AI. OpenAi has already raised long ago Your own system to integrate water marks into the texts generated by AI. Now it seems to be preparing something similar for its deployment in an image generator that is precisely becoming a successful tool for Capture a lot of new users. An idea with a lot of future. We have been talking about the efforts from various companies to create some type of standardized water brand. He C2PA standardthat among other things has been supported by OpenAIit is the one that is gradually gaining ground. This discovery in the Android of Chatgpt reveals that intention to implement it natively by generating any image from the OpenAi chatbot. Pay to avoid water brand? In Bleeping Computer they indicate how sources close to OpenAi talk about two types of images of AI: Water marks will be in the images generated with grauite accounts, but chatgpt plus subscribers can save them without water mark. It is something similar to what happens with image banks that have free images without water marks and others that do and that force to pay to remove them. A measure to avoid demands. The ability to create images that imitate those of Studio Chibli has unleashed a viral fever for this Openai tool, but that also raises potential judicial actions. Copyright is still a controversial element of everything that surrounds AI models, and water brands would at least serve to it conform their origin and avoid legal demands. The debate on fair use and copyright. In Your appendix On risks of use of GPT-4O and its image of the images, OpenAi mentions that the tool can be used to create images “that look like the aesthetics of some artists.” She and others They grab the concept of “fair use” of those tools when training them and generating images. However, the thin line that separates that fair use from a Copyright violation It is increasingly tense, and the risk is clear.

Seven CCAA backs down with the screens and mark a change in trend

The Spanish education system has a peculiar way to embrace innovations: with excessive enthusiasm first, and with equal intensity when rejecting them later. First was the aspirational devotion for the Finnish model, then the obsession to digitize each classroom. Today, just over a decade after that race to fill the laptops, We are seeing the principle of an opposite pendular movement: Seven Autonomies – governments by both PP and PSOE – are regulating to reduce screens in classes, according to The world. This turn is not born from a political whim. The results of the latest PISA tests and international evaluations have been another jug ​​of cold water. The reading comprehension and the basic mathematical skills They are collapsing while students spend more time with a tablet and less with paper and ball. Madrid, the Region of Murcia, Valencian Community, Balearic Islands, Galicia, Asturias and Catalonia are preparing different regulations but with the same spirit: Recover paper. Limit the hours in front of the screens. And reflect on whether we really need to do all duties in digital. We are also seeing many politicians to seek the tribute applause cursing the screens in the classrooms, but none do self -criticism when the tribune rewarded the slogan “a child, a laptop.” Is Selective amnesia that allows to navigate comfortably between opposite trends Without assuming responsibilities. Correction has no political color. The Socialist Asturian Lydia Espina and the popular Murcia Fernando López Miras coincide in the fundamental although they disagree in the forms, for giving two examples. Perhaps the most notable difference is that while Madrid opts for a more blunt prohibition, other regions prefer to set recommendations, leaving a certain margin of maneuver to the centers. But the message is clear: enough of tablets for everything. The most interesting thing about this Pendulazo is that it arrives right now, when the technology industry continues to promise the educational revolution through its devices, and when The AI ​​begins to appear in the classrooms. But between technological determinism and nostalgia for grid notebooks, perhaps what we are really seeing is a healthy maturity exercise: technology must be a medium, not an end. And like any tool, it has its optimal use moments. Not all the time. Not for everything. And of course, not for everyone at the same age. And we are starting to see it.

Boeing came from difficult years. The US has just given air with the contract that can mark his return: that of the new F-47

Boeing is going through one of the most complex periods in its recent history. The reputation of the aerospace giant has been harmed by a series of operational and financial problems that have accumulated in recent years. Its commercial aviation division, responsible for the development and manufacture of airplanes such as 737 Max, has been especially hit: The 2018 and 2019 accidents marked a turning pointto which new foci of concern have been added, Like delays in production or strikes in their plants. Its defense and space division has not been left out either. Starlliner ship’s setbacks have not only revealed the technical difficulties of the program, They have become a public humiliation for the company. To this are added other deficit projects that have drained resources, further deepening the crisis. In the midst of this panorama, Boeing has just received a new opportunity to recover prestige and demonstrate that it is up to its own name: The contract to develop F-47. An airplane that can mark a before and after for the US (and for Boeing) The Air Force defines the F-47 as the first sixth generation hunting of the United States. Only that already places it in the center of all eyes. Integrated in the program Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD)is called to replace F-22 Raptor with improvements in stealth, communication and fire power. In addition, it is designed to operate next to the next fleet of pentagon drones, known as collaborative combat aircraft (CCA), conceived to carry the missions not manned to the next level. Although so far there has been little of the project, the budgetary figures published last year reveal that the Air Force plans to allocate up to 20,000 million dollars in research and development of the NGAD until 2029. But everything seems to indicate that this figure will be only the beginning. If we take as reference to Lockheed Martin F-35, The most expensive combat plane in historyit is reasonable to think that the new sixth generation hunting will require an even greater investment throughout its useful life. But the F-47 is not a plane that Donald Trump’s administration has taken from the sleeve from one moment to another. It is an initiative that, as we suggest above, has been circling for some time, although in a very discreet way. The NGAD combat aircraft program evolved from the plans for what was originally called a penetrating counterattack platform (PCA), which publicly emerged publicly mid -decade of 2010. Unlike other programs, the Air Force has decided to maintain a very low profile. The great defense contractors of the United States, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Northrop Grumman, participated in the bidding process. Northrop retired in 2023, leaving the contest between Boeing and Lockheed. Now he is official: Boeing has been the great winner. The data is not less, since Lockheed was the one who developed the F-22 Raptor, the hunt that this new model seeks to replace. In addition, Boeing will put the firm on this plane: its most successful models, the F-15, the F/A-18 and the EA-18, were inheritance of McDonnell Douglas. As we said, there are few confirmed data on the technical specifications of the future F-47. However, A Congress report stressed The urgency of developing a sixth generation hunt to maintain aerial superiority Facing China’s military advancewhich already has the J-20 and J-35and work in an even more advanced model. The new American plane should not only be overcome in weapons systems, but also in scope, a key capacity to operate in the Pacific Ocean, where F-22 Raptor shows limitations.
