The US and China began talks on an AI safety governance framework, but Trump–Xi cooperation is uncertain amid escalating rivalry. Scott Bessent said the sides discussed a new AI safety notification mechanism ahead of the Thursday and Friday meeting. If China agrees, the countries could share alerts on unpredictable or threatening AI behavior, but current export controls, chip curbs, and recent US accusations could block a reliable system.
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.
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.
Trump administration officials have publicly attacked Effective Altruism as an ideology they link to AI-risk alarmism and efforts to push for AI regulation. A Politico poll found 63% of Americans believe AI poses at least a moderate risk of destroying humanity. The backlash appears to be increasing anti–AI doomer sentiment and could either discredit Effective Altruism or give it a bigger public platform.
Nscale’s $35 billion IPO filing and exhibits show that ByteDance (TikTok’s parent) used Nscale’s Norway cloud facility to access Nvidia chips it otherwise couldn’t buy in China, via a Singapore subsidiary.
Sam Altman told the United Nations Security Council about AI safety, maintaining human control, and the need for international cooperation. The article provides no specific date, benchmark, or number. This shifts discussion toward coordinated global AI governance rather than announcing a new product, policy, or technical result.
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.
Beijing and Washington agreed to discuss an AI incident hotline to notify each other about AI-related national security concerns. Anthropic alleged that Moonshot sent more than 23 million exchanges to Claude over three months without telling customers their data was being processed by a U.S. company. The agreement and the surrounding incidents shift attention toward practical AI governance and clearer responsibility for security and cross-border data handling.
