Trump, Jensen Huang and Elon Musk try to calm voter fears about AI

President Donald Trump surrounded himself with some of the most influential and wealthy AI executives at the White House on Tuesday amid mounting fears about the technology.Due to concerns about AI’s potential impact on the labour market, the environmental impacts of data centres and multiple AI-induced cybersecurity incidents, US voters have grown increasingly uneasy with unregulated AI. Yet for several weeks now, Mr Trump has dismissed those fears as “a hoax.” On Tuesday, while unveiling a new AI-driven government website, he again dismissed calls for more regulations related to AI development. Several hours after introducing the new site, Mr Trump hosted a lunch with dozens of technology and AI executives. Mr Trump later told reporters that he is ⁠thinking about creating a 10-person committee to oversee the AI ​sector. He said the tech executives signed an agreement ⁠that is "morally binding," without providing details.He also signed an executive order in line with his recent theme of insisting that AI should be rebranded to “super intelligence.”Under the executive order, all US government documents would refer to “super intelligence” instead of AI.A seating chart showed that Palantir's Alex Karp, AMD's Lisa Su, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Anthropic's Dario Amodei, Nvidia's Jensen Huang and Google's Sundar Pichai were among those i...

"We will work to receive these aircraft through an accelerated procedure."Zelenskiy said Ukraine had already received "urgent deliveries" of F-16 ammunition from Belgium and Spain, among other countries.Zelenskiy said later in his nightly video address that Ukraine had received delivery the day before of a "very good" assistance package of a NASAMS air defence system, developed jointly in the US and Norway.He also said that talks were proceeding to ensure that Ukraine has a supply of missiles for the Patriot air defence system, which play a critical role in intercepting Russian ballistic missiles.Zelenskiy said tests were continuing to improve the efficiency of Ukrainian interceptors against Russian jet-powered drones, which fly higher and faster than conventional drones.Of more than 100 Russian drones deployed on Tuesday, he said, 29 were jet-powered and 18 of those had been downed.

The UAE has strongly condemned the storming of Al Aqsa mosque compound by Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's Minister of National Security, alongside hundreds of settlers and warned against "provocative escalation" and "unacceptable" acts of extremism.
