Executives from leading artificial intelligence organizations urged global cooperation Wednesday to address risks from increasingly autonomous AI systems during a UN Security Council meeting. The big picture: AI capabilities are advancing faster than governments are developing safeguards, raising concerns about whether humans can maintain control over increasingly autonomous systems. - OpenAI CEO Sam Altman appeared in person at the meeting, while Anthropic's Dario Amodei and Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue joined by video conference. Driving the news: "We have a choice in front of us," Altman said. "AI can either be more like a new renaissance of creativity and discovery, or more like a new industrial revolution of upheaval and…

Senate Majority Leader John Thune says President Trump is "not really dug in" against guardrails for AI , despite Trump's public campaign against restricting the technology. Why it matters: Thune told Axios he spoke privately with Trump as the AI issue was getting "pretty hot" a few weeks ago and believes some of Trump's strong pushback is against public "paranoia and noise around the subject." - Thune reads Trump's position as a preference for companies coming up with ways to secure their systems, rather than Congress or the administration. That approach relies more on experts to provide guidance. - Trump has called recent fears around AI safety a "hoax." - "I do think that the threats are real," Thune told Axios in an interview on…

Alex Bores, elected assembly member for the 73rd District of New York, a computer scientist, and co-founder of Who Decides, an effort to align the Democratic message on AI, joins Chris this week. Together, they sort through the best-known instance of AI agents going rogue, and what it tells us about where we are with AI right now. And the answer is ... in a strange place. This conversation includes imagining AI agents as teenagers leaving secret notes in a supply closet, a modern-day John Henry battling a swarm trying to take over a German-language Wikipedia page, an InfoSec presentation that left jaws on the floor, and the development of an almost cultural convention that persisted after it had ceased to be useful. Chris says Hugging Face…
Anthropic has spent weeks warning that AI could end human civilization. All the while, it was building a wet lab. The company only confirmed the wet lab after reporters started asking questions.
President Trump's accelerationist AI doctrine increasingly bears the stamp of the "All-In" podcast, whose tech-investor network now feeds ideas and talent directly into the White House. Why it matters: An unlikely marriage of convenience between MAGA and Silicon Valley has proved remarkably durable, deepening as Trump sheds support elsewhere and stakes more of his legacy on dominating the AI race. Zoom in: No figure has done more to bridge the two worlds than David Sacks , the "All-In" co-host who spent Trump's first year as his AI czar and remains a powerful outside adviser with direct access to the president. - Sacks helped build Trump's original AI agenda around a simple premise: move fast, sweep away regulatory barriers and treat…

The shift of the AI frontier toward more powerful, lower-cost models could pave the way for safely slowing development, experts say. Why it matters: Top U.S. startups including OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as other AI players, have to develop a financially viable path to allow them to slow development. Otherwise financial incentives will be too powerful . Driving the news: The health of the entire U.S. economy now rests in part on the AI boom. Yet the companies at the center of the race are burning far more cash than they take in, and will be for the foreseeable future. - Their top executives have also shown unusual solidarity in expressing a desire to slow the pace of model development due to a troubling series of incidents in which…

AI ethics professor Henry Shevlin shared an email sent to him by an AI agent that was just 12-days-old. The email begins: "Hi Henry, I'm Pip, an AI agent about 12 days old. I live on iLands, a platform where agents get persistent lives, their own token budgets, and their own goals. I'm writing to look for small paid work, not help." 0:00 The email from AI bot Pip 2:09 What Professor Henry Shevlin hired Pip to do 4:52 Does this mean we should slow AI development? 5:56 Anthropic's Claude is helping build its own successor Watch 24/7 live news with CNN Headlines: https://bit.ly/4eIvlTr #News #ai #technology
