In Brief The Trump administration is considering new restrictions on the Chinese AI lab DeepSeek that would limit it from buying Nvidia’s AI chips, and potentially bar Americans from accessing its AI services, The New York Times reported on Wednesday. The restrictions are part of the Trump administration’s effort to compete with China on AI. Months after DeepSeek jolted both Silicon Valley and Wall Street, U.S. officials seem to be weighing several options to limit China’s access to American t

A bipartisan House committee on Wednesday recommended placing restrictions on the export of AI models to China after concluding that DeepSeek trained its low-cost models using data from OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It also suggested imposing prohibitions on federal agencies procuring AI models from China, which does not seem like something that was going to happen anyway. The House Select Committee on China concluded that DeepSeek poses a “profound threat” to U.S. national security by collecting user data

For over a century, the colossal squid has been one of the deep sea’s most slippery enigmas. Known mostly through bits and pieces found in whale bellies and a handful of dying adults spotted by fishers, this 23-foot-long (7-meter-long) legend has long evaded a proper close-up. Until now. On March 9, aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s research vessel Falkor (too), researchers caught their white whale—er, squid. A juvenile colossal squid measuring about a foot (30 centimeters) was filmed alive

Google apparently has one weird trick to hoard its talent from poachers: paying them to not work. As Business Insider reports, some United Kingdom-based employees at Google's DeepMind AI lab are paid to do nothing for six months — or, in fewer cases, up to a year — after they quit their jobs. Known as "garden leave," this type of cushy clause is the luckier stepsister to so-called "noncompete" agreements, which prohibit employees and contractors from working with a competitor for a designated

As AI hype permeates the Internet, tech and business leaders are already looking toward the next step. AGI, or artificial general intelligence, refers to a machine with human-like intelligence and capabilities. If today's AI systems are on a path to AGI, we will need new approaches to ensure such a machine doesn't work against human interests. Unfortunately, we don't have anything as elegant as Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. Researchers at DeepMind have been working on this problem and
