qwant news | How to make sure AI doesn't spy on us or kill innocent people AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Anthropic — one of the United States’ leading AI firms — blocked a Pentagon contract unless the Department of Defense pledged not to use its models for autonomous killer robots or mass domestic surveillance, prompting the Pentagon to label the company a “supply‑chain threat” and sparking a high‑stakes legal and political battle over who controls rapidly advancing AI technology. The dispute has amplified broader calls for stronger safeguards: Senator Bernie Sanders proposes a moratorium on new AI data centers until robust national protections exist; privacy advocates like Edward Snowden argue that technical “use‑of‑force” tools and human‑override mechanisms are essential to prevent AI from eroding civil liberties, while industry leaders (including OpenAI) stress “technical safeguards” rather than outright bans. Across the debate, experts agree that the key to keeping AI from spying on or killing innocents lies in solving the alignment problem—embedding libertarian, pro‑human values deep within AI systems—rather than relying on heavy regulation or government control alone.

US Top News and Analysis | Nvidia says its forecast for $200 billion CPU market includes China AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told investors that the company’s new “Vera” central‑processing units open a $200 billion market opportunity—and that this forecast does indeed include China, despite ongoing U.S.–China technology tensions. He highlighted the shift toward “agentic AI,” which is driving demand for CPUs as well as GPUs, and reiterated Nvidia’s goal of surpassing $1 trillion in sales for its flagship AI chips. Huang also noted that the H200 AI chip has received U.S. export licenses for China, though no deliveries have occurred yet, and emphasized the importance of the Chinese market. While in Taipei ahead of Computex, he said Nvidia has deepened support for its Taiwanese partners and is ramping up production of the Vera‑Rubin platform, which combines the new CPU with the Rubin GPU architecture. Addressing recent investigations into illegal exports of AI servers containing Nvidia chips, Huang said the company is rigorous in enforcing export‑control compliance among its partners.

Home - CBSNews.com | CBS News poll finds most doubt government will ensure AI used appropriately

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

A CBS News/YouGov poll of 2,064 U.S. adults conducted May 13‑15, 2026 found that two‑thirds of Americans believe the federal government will not enact policies that ensure artificial‑intelligence technology is used appropriately, and this skepticism spans age, education, and party lines—Democrats and independents are united in doubt, while Republicans are split. The same respondents also see AI as a major threat to jobs, with a majority expecting the technology to reduce employment in the United States, especially among older adults, though younger people are slightly less pessimistic. When asked why AI firms promote the technology, most people cite motives to increase corporate power and replace human workers, while fewer attribute the push to scientific or medical advances and everyday convenience. Overall, the survey underscores widespread public concern that AI growth may outpace effective governmental oversight and exacerbate job losses.

Times of India | Anthropic complained to the US government about CEO of the Chinese company who took stage at Nvidia's annual conference; and now US State Department has ordered ... AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Anthropic has lodged a formal complaint with the U.S. government, alleging that three Chinese AI firms—DeepSeek, Moonshot AI and MiniMax—used hundreds of fraudulent accounts to run industrial‑scale “distillation” campaigns that harvested the capabilities of Anthropic’s Claude chatbot for their own models. The complaint details over 16 million interactions, including more than 3.4 million exchanges by Moonshot AI, targeting agentic reasoning, coding, computer‑vision and tool‑use tasks. In response, a U.S. State Department cable has warned allied diplomats about the security risks of AI models derived from unauthorized extraction of U.S. proprietary technology, noting that such models can appear competitive on benchmarks while lacking full performance and security safeguards. The cable also highlights Moonshot AI’s CEO Zhilin Yang—who spoke at Nvidia’s GTC 2026—as a key figure in the alleged operations.

The U.S. has officially left the Paris Agreement, the global pact to limit the increase in Earth's surface temperature to below 2 degrees celsius. President Trump signed the order for this on his first day in office, but the withdrawal takes a year to go into effect.

The year is nearly done, which means Project 2025 is going to be put out to pasture. But hold your horses, folks, because what's that we see galloping over the horizon? Project 2026! @AxiosNews@flipboard.com takes a look at the Heritage Foundation's policy priorities for the coming year: More immigration restrictions, an end to ranked-choice voting, the full elimination of the education department, and plans to "restore the nuclear family to the center of American life" (aka reducing abortions and opposing equal marriage). https://flip.it/_-q6qW #Project2025 #Project2026 #HeritageFoundation #TrumpAdministration #DonaldTrump #USNews #USGovernment
