On April 7, 2025, U.S. stocks experienced a sharp decline before a false report about a tariff pause circulated on X, suggesting that AI agents involved in market interpretation may propagate misinformation if sources are unreliable or lack context. This incident highlights the increasing reliance on AI for financial decision-making and the risks of errors spreading rapidly.
Elon Musk announced that SpaceXAI will be renamed SpaceXSI to align with President Trump’s recent executive order, which rebranded 'Artificial Intelligence' as 'Super Intelligence.' The order was signed on September 29, 2026, and aims to better reflect the technology's potential. Musk confirmed the change via an X post on September 4, shortly after Trump launched the 'Super Intelligence Force' to oversee AI policy and promote American dominance in the field.
President Trump announced a new government task force, dubbed the Super Intelligence Force, to coordinate federal AI policy, naming Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton to lead it. Other members include FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Pentagon CTO Emil Michael, and OPM Director Scott Kupor, with the group reporting to Trump and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. The move follows a White House meeting last week where AI executives signed a voluntary accord on self-regulation.
The Trump administration's newly appointed artificial-intelligence lead outlined priorities and disclosed the membership of a White House task force overseeing AI policy. Separately, community banks pushed back against federal regulators over proposed crypto charters, and reporting on a near-miss aboard flight 1073 highlighted security gaps at a Dubai airport.
The U.S. House passed the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act last month, a bipartisan bill requiring automakers to include AM radio in new vehicles. The measure now goes to the Senate, where a companion bill has already drawn support, while a companion effort has gathered backing according to public records. Broadcasters like WGN-AM's Mary Sandberg Boyle back the bill, citing AM radio's role in emergency alerts, while the Alliance for Automotive Innovation opposes it.
The White House has created a new task force dedicated to examining the risks posed by artificial intelligence, following concerns raised by industry and the public. Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton will lead the effort, taking on the role of AI czar.
The White House convened leading tech CEOs, including Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Musk, to endorse an AI safety pledge and signed an executive order that rebrands artificial intelligence as 'super intelligence.' Major companies like Meta and OpenAI are promoting more approachable AI products amid ongoing enterprise investments. The event highlights a shift in government and industry language around AI development and safety.
At a White House lunch with top AI executives, President Trump signed an executive order declaring the government will no longer use the term 'artificial intelligence,' replacing it with 'Super Intelligence.' The move followed a September 23 UN speech in which he criticized the term, and tech leaders at the event reportedly went along with the change.
Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen said AI companies must genuinely comply with the spirit, not just the letter, of a voluntary safety agreement signed recently by Mark Zuckerberg and other tech CEOs at the White House. She warned companies historically follow only the literal wording of such commitments while finding loopholes in flexible systems. Haugen also credited Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's push for independent auditors as a sign of awareness that companies may cut corners when given room to do so.
Tim Cook and his successor as Apple CEO, John Ternus, were missing from a White House gathering of top tech executives convened by President Trump to discuss artificial intelligence. Leaders from Meta, Tesla, Nvidia and other major tech firms attended, but Apple did not respond to questions about why it was left out, and the White House also declined to comment. Cook had attended a state dinner at the White House just days earlier alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping.
At a White House event on Tuesday, several technology executives, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, privately criticized Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for his repeated public warnings about the risks posed by advanced AI systems. The pushback reportedly took place among industry leaders gathered for the event rather than in public remarks.
Six major AI companies signed the White House Accord on Super Intelligence, a voluntary agreement to adopt internal safety controls, submit to independent audits, and expand board oversight of AI safety and security. The accord sets no implementation deadlines and carries no mandatory requirements, though it notes these steps could eventually be codified into law.
