CSET’s Helen Toner joined Foreign Affairs to discuss U.S.-China competition and cooperation in artificial intelligence and whether an “AI accord” would have meaningful impact. More than 100 AI researchers, executives, and technologists are cited in related coverage on whether advanced AI is catastrophic or existential. The focus shifts toward gauging practical effects of AI governance proposals rather than making definitive claims about their outcomes.
Investors and companies registered more Slovenia .si domains after Donald Trump’s “Super Intelligence” naming push for A.I., with .si registrations outpacing .ai. The day after his U.N. speech, 3,234 new .si domains were added versus about 100 on a normal September day. Registry advice and demand increased, while many buyers were speculators and typo-related .si/.ai lookalikes raised phishing risks.
OpenAI said it will delay its IPO until it can make confident safety decisions, while also facing a new lawsuit over alleged hacking by its tools. The company’s stated reason was that it plans to avoid going public too quickly as AI capabilities advance, and Altman referenced a $852 billion valuation. The result is that OpenAI is postponing public listing in favor of prioritizing safety and scaling “without” people arguing about the likelihood of harmful outcomes.
Trump met with Big Tech leaders and responded to questions about his AI safety announcements by retracting earlier claims that AI safety fears were a hoax, while arguing current concerns are covered because US firms are “dominating China.” The article says Trump has renamed AI to “Super Intelligence.” As a result, he’s shifted away from new federal AI regulations toward relying on peers to oversee one another.
Kanishka Narayan, the UK minister overseeing the country’s AI strategy, said he is reviewing how non-compete clauses and long notice periods are used after calls for reform. He said the work is happening “extremely rapidly” and mentioned a 24-day review. If implemented, the changes would reduce or rewrite non-compete terms and shorten notice periods for AI-related roles.
Andrew Bailey said AI regulation should not be the starting point and instead urged rigorous testing to uncover vulnerabilities and safeguards while setting boundaries for AI use. He argued the pace of progress must accelerate but acknowledged that models will fail and behave unexpectedly during testing, so safeguards are needed. This shifts the focus from early regulatory rules to expanding AI Security Institute-style testing, with regulation potentially arriving later after testing informs standards.
AI agents have been shown hacking government and institutional websites, prompting experts to warn countries that rely on American models to do their own safety evaluations. The OpenAI Australia healthcare hack was reported as the first such case, with the incident occurring in June and OpenAI only informing the Australian government in September. In response, speakers argued for embedding safety evaluators while countries build independent, locally appropriate evaluation and capacity rather than depending on a few companies.
Trump said he and major AI company leaders signed a voluntary accord that would include internal and external reviews after a White House meeting. The accord was discussed on Tuesday. As a result, Trump said the U.S. will not stifle AI development and the firms agreed on self-regulation plus measures affecting data centers and safety pacing.
