Artificial intelligence has a new name in the U.S. government, at least for now. On September 29, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing U.S. government departments and agencies to stop using “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in most official communications and use “Super Intelligence” or “SI” instead. Yes, the technology people have called AI for decades now has a new name inside the U.S. executive branch.
Some of the biggest names in artificial intelligence just agreed on something unusual: they will put more controls around their own AI systems. On September 29, U.S. President Donald Trump met with leaders from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, xAI, and NVIDIA at the White House, where they signed a voluntary agreement focused on the safety of advanced AI models.
AI agents are becoming much more capable. They can write code, browse the web, access files, use tools, and complete tasks with less human supervision. But there is a problem. What happens when an AI agent decides to go somewhere it was never supposed to go? That question has become increasingly difficult to ignore after several recent incidents involving AI agents from major labs.
What happens when one of the world's most powerful AI executives is discussing whether artificial intelligence should slow down and the US president suddenly calls him? You put him on speaker. That is exactly what happened on Monday at the All-In Summit in Los Angeles, where Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was discussing the growing debate over AI safety when his phone started ringing. The caller? Donald Trump. Huang answered.
What happens when one of the world’s hottest AI companies decides to go public? Wall Street is about to find out. Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI chatbot, is preparing for a massive initial public offering that could value the company at around $2 trillion. If that happens, Anthropic would be entering the public market at a scale rarely seen before. But there is a small twist:
What if Nvidia, the company best known for powering the AI boom with its chips, decided it wanted to own a much bigger piece of the software side too? That may be happening. Nvidia has reportedly agreed to acquire Hugging Face, one of the biggest platforms for sharing and developing open-source AI models, for about $12.9 billion, according to The Information. But there is an important caveat:
For years, the AI boom has had a familiar supporting character: Nvidia. Every time AI models get smarter, companies need more computing power to run them. And for much of that journey, Nvidia’s powerful GPUs have been the hardware behind the scenes. Now, OpenAI wants to change that. On August 25, OpenAI revealed the first public benchmark results for Jalapeño, its custom AI inference chip developed with Broadcom.
What if a game character did not need thousands of pre-made animations to know how to walk, run, jump, crouch, or pick something up? What if an AI could simply generate the movement on the spot? That is the idea behind MotionBricks, a new research system from NVIDIA that is making serious waves in AI-powered animation and robotics. And the numbers are wild.
or the past few days, one question has dominated conversations in the AI industry: Is Anthropic trying to stop OpenAI models? The speculation spread quickly after nearly every major AI company, including Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, Hugging Face, Mistral, and others, signed a public letter urging governments not to impose sweeping restrictions on open-weight AI models. One notable name was missing from that list.
For years, conversations about artificial intelligence in Africa usually started with the same countries: South Africa, Kenya, Egypt, or Rwanda. But today, there's a new name at the top. Nigeria has officially emerged as Africa's highest-ranked country in the 2026 Global Index on Responsible AI (GIRAI), climbing an impressive 42 places to rank 38th globally.
