Why it matters: For the White House , it's now about how partners can help the U.S. win the AI race. - For decades, shared values and security interests have underpinned alliances with Europe and other partners around the world. Under Trump, that's no longer enough. - As AI becomes central to economic and military power, frontier AI models, chips and infrastructure are turning into new instruments of American influence. Driving the news: The Trump administration is blocking allies from accessing the world's most powerful models, playing it close to the vest and criticizing Europe for not having its own robust AI industry. - With export controls on Fable and…

(Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images) Among the more curious features of my job as a critic who writes regularly about the motion picture industry is explaining to various interview subjects, PR flacks, and sometimes even professional colleagues that I live in Ohio. In my experience, most people who work in Hollywood assume that nearly everyone who might enter their orbit also works in Hollywood or some other acceptably cosmopolitan locale, which means, in practice, New York. Remarkably, this habit of mind…Open
On Thursday's episode of "On Balance": Leland Vittert looks at the latest developments in the war with Iran, as many wonder who is actually winning the conflict. Vice Adm. John "Fozzie" Miller and Dr. Kian Tajbakhsh weigh in on President Trump's remaining options and the problems he faces ahead.
