Times of India | US Immigration authority issues clarification for H-1B visa holders and high-skilled workers on changes in Green Card policy; says: People who present applications that provide ... AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has clarified that the Trump administration’s new Green‑Card rule—requiring most applicants to complete the process abroad—will not automatically force all current H‑1B workers to leave the country. USCIS says the policy merely restates congressional intent, and that applicants who demonstrate an economic benefit or are deemed to be in the national interest may continue adjusting status from within the United States, while others could be asked to apply from abroad on a case‑by‑case basis. The change, which initially sparked criticism from tech leaders and immigration lawyers who warned it could delay or disrupt high‑skilled workers, is being defended by officials as a return to the original law’s intent.

NBC News Top Stories | Sam Altman testifies in trial that Elon Musk ‘tried to kill’ OpenAI twice by David Ingram AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified in an Oakland federal trial sparked by Elon Musk’s lawsuit accusing Altman and fellow co‑founder Greg Brockman of enriching themselves at the expense of OpenAI’s original nonprofit mission. Altman explained that OpenAI began in 2015 as a charitable research institute founded by himself, Musk, and others, and that the creation of a for‑profit arm in 2018 — later reorganized under a public‑benefit corporation while a nonprofit foundation retained ultimate control — was necessary to secure outside investment and keep the organization viable, resulting in “one of the largest charities in the world.” He said Musk’s claims misunderstand the history, noted Musk left the board in 2018 after concerns about control, and asserted that OpenAI has continued to seek charitable funding from donors such as Reid Hoffman and Dustin Moskovitz without deviating from its mission, while dismissing the lawsuit as competitive harassment following Musk’s launch of his own AI startup, xAI. The jury is set to hear closing statements Thursday.
