Three days after the Trump administration published its much-anticipated AI action plan, the Chinese government put out its own AI policy blueprint. Was the timing a coincidence? China's "Global AI Governance Action Plan" was released on July 26, the first day of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), the largest annual AI event in China. Geoffrey Hinton and Eric Schmidt were among the many Western tech industry figures who attended the festivities in Shanghai. Our WIRED colleague Will Knight was also on the scene.

The strength and capabilities of generative AI are accelerating at a dizzying pace. If you're finding it difficult to keep up, we get it. That's why WIRED is hosting its first AI Power Summit on September 15 in New York City. We've curated a series of panels and conversations with experts who will distill and discuss the implications of today's most crucial AI-related news. We'll break down the White House's AI Action Plan and examine its consequences across industries; explore how emerging regulations could redefine the trajectory of innovation and shape public policy; and discuss who stands to gain--and who stands to lose--in AI's next chapter.

But Altman is not the one building the technology on which its reputation rests. That responsibility falls to OpenAI's twin heads of research--chief research officer Mark Chen and chief scientist Jakub Pachocki. Between them, they share the role of making sure OpenAI stays one step ahead of powerhouse rivals like Google. I recently sat down with Chen and Pachocki for an exclusive conversation which covered everything from how they manage the inherent tension between research and product, to what they really mean when they talk about AGI, to what happened to OpenAI's superalignment team. I also wanted to get a sense of where their heads are at in the run-up to OpenAI's biggest product release in months: GPT-5.

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld and the'Gutfeld!' panel discuss a man trying to use an A.I. lawyer in court. Two U.S. judges in separate federal courts scrapped their rulings last week after lawyers alerted them to filings that contained inaccurate case details or seemingly "hallucinated" quotes that misquoted cited cases -- the latest in a string of errors that suggest the growing use of artificial intelligence in legal research and submissions. In New Jersey, U.S. District Judge Julien Neals withdrew his denial of a motion to dismiss a securities fraud case after lawyers revealed the decision relied on filings with "pervasive and material inaccuracies." The filing pointed to "numerous instances" of made-up quotes submitted by attorneys, as well as three separate instances when the outcome of lawsuits appeared to have been mistaken, prompting Neals to withdraw his decision. The use of generative AI continues to skyrocket in almost every profession, especially among younger workers.

A House Democrat is moving to block the Trump administration from being able to use military-grade drones to surveil protests in the U.S. Rep. Jimmy Gomez, D-Calif., introduced the bill in response to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reportedly using MQ-9 Reaper drones to monitor the protests in Los Angeles earlier this year. "The U.S. government should never use military drones to spy on its own people. Not under anyone," Gomez told Fox News Digital in a statement. "This bill would stop Trump's abuse of power and get these combat drones out of our neighborhoods." An MQ-9 Reaper flies by on a training mission at Creech Air Force Base in Indian Springs, Nevada.

Russia launched a barrage of missile and drone attacks on Kyiv, killing at least six people – including a six-year-old boy and his mother – and injuring 52, according to Ukrainian officials. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Thursday that Russian forces launched more than 300 drones and eight missiles, targeting residential buildings throughout the capital. "Today the world has once again seen Russia's response to our desire for peace with America and Europe. Therefore, peace without strength is impossible," Zelenskyy said on the Telegram app. Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed nine children were wounded in the attack, the highest number of child casualties in a single night in the city since Russia's full-scale invasion began nearly three and a half years ago.

A Russian drone and missile attack on Ukraine's capital has killed at least six people, including a six-year-old boy, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other officials. The overnight attack wounded at least 52 people and caused damage at 27 locations across four districts of Kyiv, city military administrator Tymur Tkachenko said on Thursday as casualty numbers are expected to rise. Rescue teams were at the scene to search for people trapped under the rubble. Russia's latest deadly attack on Ukraine came after United States President Donald Trump on Monday issued a 10- or 12-day ultimatum to Moscow to halt its invasion of Ukraine, now in its fourth year, or face sanctions. Zelenskyy said on Thursday that Russia had used more than 300 drones and eight missiles in the attack as he posted a video of burning ruins on social media.

Russian drone strikes on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, on Wednesday night killed several people, including a six-year-old boy, as multiple locations across the city were hit including a hospital and a residential building.

A BBC Verify investigation has revealed that the identities of British public sector workers have been cloned using AI by a Russian-linked disinformation campaign. The BBC's Olga Robinson has tracked down and spoken to an emergency medical advisor from Preston in England, who was shocked to learn his voice had been faked in a video campaign spreading fear ahead of Poland's presidential election earlier this year.

Adm. Daryl Caudle joins'America's Newsroom' to discuss rising tensions with China's navy, the use of AI in US defense, and a powerful Memorial Day re-enlistment ceremony at Ground Zero. The U.S. Navy has called off a search for a sailor assigned to the USS George Washington amid reports that he possibly went overboard while the ship was sailing north of Australia. The sailor was reported overboard on the aircraft carrier on Monday as the ship was transiting the Timor Sea, the Navy said.
