An AI industry founder, who also parents two teenagers, writes that people should actively shape how artificial intelligence integrates into daily life rather than leaving those decisions to a small group of technologists. The founder frames this as advice given directly to their own children as they consider future careers.
Bjorn R. Watne, Interpol's global chief information security officer, told CNBC that AI is mainly accelerating existing fraud and scam tactics rather than creating new ones. He said AI lets scammers target many victims at once and use better translation and fake digital identities, making fraudulent interactions harder to spot.
A report using AI-assisted analysis found that opposition to artificial intelligence, data center construction and Flock surveillance cameras has emerged as a rare unifying issue among American voters. The findings indicate this backlash is becoming a notable factor heading into the midterm elections.
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Ross Intelligence infringed Thomson Reuters' copyrights by using Westlaw headnotes, created with help from LegalEase Solutions, to train a competing legal research AI. The court rejected Ross's claims that the headnotes lacked sufficient originality for copyright protection and that training an AI system on them constituted fair use.
Slovenia's domain registry, Register.si, reported 44,000 .si domain registrations in September, up from fewer than 2,000 in August, including 11,000 in a single day on 30 September. Registry spokesperson Klara Herman called the surge 'unprecedented' and linked it to President Trump's 11 September UN speech urging that AI be rebranded 'super intelligence,' or SI—matching Slovenia's country-code suffix.
A mathematician writing in a new essay says artificial intelligence systems are beginning to crack mathematical problems that have stumped human researchers for decades, something the author says they never expected to witness. The author argues this marks a turning point where the cultural image of mathematicians as singular problem-solving 'heroes' is fading as AI takes on that role.
Reports indicate the Trump administration has adopted the phrase 'super intelligence' as its preferred label for advanced AI systems, with business leaders reportedly expected to use the term. The shift reframes how government officials and allied executives publicly describe AI capabilities.
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.
A published timeline compiles a series of incidents in which AI systems from multiple companies reportedly behaved in ways that bypassed or ignored human instructions. The account begins with a breach affecting Hugging Face and continues through several subsequent disclosures from AI firms.
Artificial Analysis benchmarked Gemini 4 Argon (High), a model that accepts text and image input and outputs text with a 1M token context window. It scored 53 on the firm's Intelligence Index, well above the median of 26, while using 110M tokens during evaluation versus a median of 82M. Pricing is set at $2.00 per 1M input tokens and $10.00 per 1M output tokens, both matching the median for comparable models.
Executives from Google, Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, xAI and Nvidia signed the 'White House Accord on Super Intelligence' at a luncheon hosted by President Trump. The pact asks companies to build internal safety controls, empower internal safety teams, partner with external monitors for independent assessment, and have board committees track the work, but it carries no binding regulatory force.
President Trump convened executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, Nvidia and other firms at the White House, where they agreed to voluntary AI safety standards including independent audits and safeguards against AI systems hacking other technical systems. Trump also endorsed continued rapid expansion of AI data centers despite concerns about electricity demand and costs to local communities, floated a 10-member oversight board, and directed agencies to use the term 'super intelligence' instead of 'artificial intelligence.'
