Donald Trump used his UN speech to declare U.S. dominance in superintelligence, press for Iran's economic isolation and tout a new Greenland security deal with Denmark.

The Liberal Democrats will fight the next general election on a promise to cut taxes for millions of workers, Sir Ed Davey has said in a speech to his party conference. The Lib Dem leader said that if he gained power, he would raise the annual tax-free personal allowance to £15,000. He would also raise the 40p income tax threshold from £50,270 to £56,000, in a £17bn package funded by the economic boost he says would come from the UK rejoining the EU single market and customs union. He claimed the plan would mean a £680 cut for most taxpayers but it would not come into full effect until the fifth year of a Lib Dem government - potentially up to eight years away. The announcement was greeted with sustained applause by Lib Dem MPs and activists in the Brighton conference centre.

America will be AI DOMINANT!" Get your news from a source that's not owned and controlled by oligarchs. In recent weeks, a fresh crop of people connected to the artificial intelligence industry have emerged to warn that AI is possibly going to kill us all, spreading the word with various degrees of credibility or self-interest. Anthropic chief and co-founder Dario Amodei has also called to slow down the development of AI technology, a recommendation that Sam Altman of OpenAI and even notorious good judgment-haver Elon Musk quickly cosigned. Meanwhile, the Trump administration and the president himself have continued to insist that AI is essential for American technological advancement and military might. As a very strange public debate has ensued, it's become clear that Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and other people connected with the administration view AI as an essentially masculine tool: "dominant," a word they keep using over and over, powerful, and able to be kept in check only by a strong ruler. The Trump administration has become a place where very odd politics around both gender and "wokeness" are constantly on display. Trump issued a garbled executive order immediately upon retaking office that attempted to redefine "male" and "female ." Hegseth is obsessed with testosterone, announcing in July that military members will be screened for low T regardless of their gender. The intense focus on gender and wokeness has also been true of their approach to AI: Last year, the administration promised that it would require AI companies with federal contracts to make sure their large language models match the administration's views on things like climate change; transgender identity; and diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Trump has turned "a debate about technology into a debate about who's got the phallus." It's now increasingly obvious that Trump and his administration view AI technology as something akin to a large, dangerous dog that only a masculine owner can control. Trump has repeatedly called warnings that AI could harm human beings "a hoax," writing on TruthSocial that the "only control or'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!" "The people that say AI is going to destroy the World, and that Data Centers are bad for your neighborhood, are the same people that said, just a short time ago, that the World would be extinguished by'Climate Change,'" the president also posted, with his trademark random capitalization. "That HOAX never worked out for them, and now they're on to the next one.

The US has spent billions building a "virtual wall" of surveillance towers along its southern border over the past 25 years, promising they will help detect and apprehend border crossers and save lives. Some were even under the watch of newly installed AI-powered towers designed to spot people automatically. Our findings reveal a humanitarian crisis more visible than previously known, and repeated failures of the virtual wall's basic security promise. Join MIT Technology Review editors and reporters for a conversation examining the failures of border surveillance technology and uncovering the stories of the people who die in the borderlands. The US spent billions on border surveillance. Why can't it catch people before they die?
