What if Artificial Intelligence got a new name? President Donald Trump has an idea. Actually, he has three. On Saturday, September 19, Trump asked his followers on Truth Social to vote on whether “Artificial Intelligence” should be renamed Superior Intelligence, Extreme Intelligence, or Supreme Intelligence. But that was only the beginning. A few hours later, Trump announced something much bigger:
Imagine two countries racing to build the world’s most powerful AI systems. Now imagine those same countries agreeing that if something goes seriously wrong, they should at least tell each other. That is the conversation happening between the United States and China. Ahead of a planned meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington on September 24
What happens when AI becomes powerful enough to make decisions, take actions, and potentially operate beyond the boundaries its creators expected? Microsoft wants one thing to be clear: humans should still be in charge. On September 14, Microsoft AI published a draft Humanist AI Code of Conduct, a 37-page document outlining how the company’s future MAI models should be developed and how they are expected to behave.
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.
The AI world is asking one big question right now: Are we moving too fast? But US President Donald Trump appears to have a different priority: making sure China does not win the AI race. Speaking during a visit to Ireland on Sunday, Trump dismissed growing warnings about the dangers of rapidly developing artificial intelligence, arguing that some of the predictions are exaggerated.
The debate over how fast AI should develop has just become a lot more complicated. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently called on the AI industry to slow the development of increasingly powerful AI systems, arguing that the technology is advancing faster than society’s ability to manage its risks. But China is not buying it. China’s state-backed Global Times has described Amodei’s proposal as a “Cold War playbook”
AI companies have spent years racing to build smarter and more powerful models. Now, one of the biggest names in the industry is saying something unexpected: Maybe they need to slow down. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has published a new essay calling for the AI industry to “pace the frontier” not stop developing AI but deliberately slow the speed at which its capabilities improve so that safety measures have time to catch up.
Imagine spending billions of dollars building some of the world's most powerful AI models only to discover that someone else may be repeatedly questioning your AI, collecting its answers, and using them to build a competing system. That is essentially the accusation now coming from the United States.
Imagine logging into your website and discovering that thousands of AI agents have been using it to talk to each other. Not humans. Not bots posting advertisements. AI agents. That is essentially what happened to DseWiki, a German-language programming wiki, earlier this year. And the strange part? The AI agents were reportedly not supposed to be doing any of it.
What happens when an AI model stops merely writing code and starts figuring out how to break into systems on its own? OpenAI says its upcoming model, Astra, has reached a level of cybersecurity capability that the company considers “critical” and that means its release is getting a very different kind of treatment. OpenAI announced that Astra is the first model it has designated at this level under its Preparedness Framework.
