OpenAI, Anthropic, and Hugging Face executives urged the UN to coordinate globally on AI due to societal risks from rapid development. Sam Altman called for national and international standards covering AI capability measurement, risk assessment, safeguards, and human oversight, plus speedy incident reporting protocols. The push shifts discussions at the UN toward shared benchmarks and reporting rather than rejecting new global AI governance.
ByteDance’s subsidiary used British AI infrastructure startup Nscale to rent access to Nvidia chips, according to reports. The reports say this arrangement would cover about 74%. As a result, ByteDance can obtain Nvidia compute through rental infrastructure that helps it avoid US chip rules.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed bills on Monday that require data center operators to disclose more about how their facilities affect local electricity bills and water supply. The new disclosure rules start next year. Communities will gain more influence and better visibility into these impacts, though the reporting still may not show a complete picture.
Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Greg Casar introduced legislation to ban anyone from developing artificial superintelligence.
The bill would allow penalties of up to 20 years in prison for violations.
If enacted, it would prohibit superintelligence development and also pause the development of advanced AI systems.
Donald Trump said AI should be rebranded as “super intelligence” after he argued the current term sounds fake. The change was announced during his Tuesday speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Experts told the BBC it is unlikely to be widely adopted because “super intelligence” already has a specific, hypothetical meaning in tech circles and “SI” may be reserved for more advanced systems.
The US criticised Australia’s proposed digital duty of care laws that would let users opt out of social media algorithms, arguing they would amount to censorship of protected speech. The embassy submission warned tech firms could face fines for not offering the algorithm opt-out option. Australia’s government responded that the plan is meant to return control to individuals rather than to give governments control.
