Trump's Crazy AI Rebrand Was a Loyalty Test for Tech Execs--and It Worked But they meekly went along when Trump cancelled the term. Seventy years ago last summer, a group of scientists met at Dartmouth College to discuss a wild idea--that machines might one day be capable of human-like thought processes.

Even for people who despise AI, the least of their worries is what we call it.

US prosecutors just charged a man with smuggling NVIDIA chips to China, and government officials are saying the company isn't doing all it could to stop the illegal activities, Bloomberg reported. Earlier this year, officials released a surveillance video showing someone using a red hair dryer to peel serial number stickers off NVIDIA server boxes in an effort to sneak AI chips to China. And yesterday, federal authorities arrested a man named Greg Lui for smuggling servers containing 300 million worth of AI chips to China, in violation of US export laws. Those efforts reportedly show how an expanded network of criminals is attempting to reroute NVIDIA's AI chips to China, profiting from Washington's export controls that make the contraband silicon valuable. NVIDIA says it has abided by the rules and the company has never been accused of abetting smuggling.

A U.S.-China AI treaty with five key pillars, including a global pause on superintelligence, could address AI safety risks before humanity loses control of the technology.

In a blog post published Friday, CEO Matt Garman detailed the steps the company says it's already taking around data centers.
