This Is Donald Trump's AI Brain Trust
This Is Donald Trump's AI Brain Trust "It's not an argument with two sides, it's an argument with 10 sides," one senior administration official tells WIRED about how US AI policy is being shaped. As China's open-weight AI models become increasingly powerful, the Trump administration is relying on a small group of officials to decide whether and what restrictions should be imposed. The group is scattered across several departments and agencies in Washington--and they all have differing views on the best way to keep the US ahead in the race against China. "It's not an argument with two sides, it's an argument with ten sides," one senior White House official tells WIRED about the state of affairs. With little interagency coordination in the administration, policy will almost certainly end up being set by the people with the most influence with the president.
Measles Is Becoming So Common That Treatments May Soon Be Needed
As the US sees its highest number of measles cases in decades and vaccination rates fall, researchers are developing drugs to help those who contract the virus or who are particularly vulnerable. Up until recently, measles vaccination has been so effective that there's been little medical or financial incentive to develop treatments for the disease. But as measles cases hit a 35-year high and vaccination rates continue to decline in the US, a handful of biotech companies and academic groups have started working on measles treatments for those infected with the virus as well as vulnerable individuals needing short-term protection. It will likely be years, however, before these countermeasures are available, and it's even more uncertain if those who refuse vaccines would take such treatments. Fueled by large outbreaks in South Carolina and Utah, the US had already surpassed last year's 2,289 measles cases, and it's only July.
Stop buying flat-faced dogs! RSPCA reports a 3800% increase in French Bulldogs coming into its care over the last 10 years - as owners struggle to cope with the repercussions of their 'cute' features
Dr Anthony Fauci's embarrassing obsession with fame and celebrities is revealed in secret unearthed diary entries... as he bragged about meeting A-listers while Americans died from Covid Influencer's haunting final screams and cries heard on 911 call moments before husband shot her after outing him as pedophile online Arielle Charnas left carnage in her wake when her fashion brand imploded. RSPCA reports a 3800% increase in French Bulldogs coming into its care over the last 10 years - as owners struggle to cope with the repercussions of their'cute' features Flat-faced Frenchies and Pugs might look cute, but the RSPCA is warning pet lovers to avoid these breeds amidst a'tragic' rise in abandonments. The number of French Bulldogs coming into care of the RSPCA has increased by a staggering 3,800 per cent in the last 10 years. In 2016, the animal welfare charity took in just six French Bulldogs, or Frenchie crosses, from owners who could no longer safely keep their pets. Last year that figure rose to 234 Frenchies - almost double the number abandoned in four years from 2016 to 2019 combined.
Russia and Ukraine trade attacks, killing 10, including child in Chernihiv
Is the war entering a new phase? Russian forces have killed at least six people in Ukraine, according to officials, after launching ballistic missile attacks on the capital, Kyiv, and strikes on other regions, including a supermarket in the northern city of Chernihiv. The attacks on Sunday came as Russian officials said that Moscow-occupied areas of Ukraine had also come under fire, with four people killed in a Ukrainian drone strike on the occupied city of Horlivka. Kyiv, Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv cities were all hit. In northern Chernihiv, officials said a Russian drone hit a supermarket, killing two people, including a nine-year-old girl, and wounding 25 others.
Romania summons Russian envoy as it shoots down third intruding drone
Is the war entering a new phase? Romania has summoned Russia's ambassador as it has reported that it shot down three drones in as many days. A Romanian plane shot down a drone after an incursion into the country's airspace on Sunday morning, the Ministry of Defence reported. The incident followed similar interceptions on Friday and Saturday. Romania is one of several alliance members to confront repeated stray drones recently, as Russia and Ukraine launch hundreds of the unmanned aircraft daily.
What is the AI Kill Switch Act proposed in the US and how will it work?
What is the AI Kill Switch Act proposed in the US and how will it work? Two members of the United States Congress have introduced bipartisan legislation that would require developers of the country's most powerful artificial intelligence systems to build in a "kill switch", allowing advanced AI models to be slowed, suspended or shut down if they pose a catastrophic risk. The proposed AI Kill Switch Act, introduced on Thursday by Democratic Representative Ted Lieu and Republican Representative Nathaniel Moran, would give the US government authority to order companies developing advanced AI systems to intervene if their models escape human control or threaten human life, critical infrastructure or the economy. The disclosure has intensified debate over whether increasingly powerful AI systems require stronger safeguards. "Congress must act quickly to ensure humans remain able to say stop, no matter how powerful these systems become," said Brendan Steinhauser, head of the Alliance for Secure AI.
