Why Washington Remains Paralyzed on AI Oversight as Industry Warnings Intensify (opens the original)
Read excerpt
President Donald Trump has called AI safety concerns a hoax. Tech executives once aligned with his administration now urge a slowdown. And on Capitol Hill, dozens of proposals sit idle with little prospect of becoming law before voters head to the polls in November. The disconnect runs deep. Even as former researchers from Anthropic and OpenAI sound alarms about models that could one day outpace human control, federal action stalls. A recent WIRED report laid bare the impasse. White House offici
Energy Shock Tests Bank of England's Resolve on Rates (opens the original)
Read excerpt
London’s financial district stirred with anticipation on a crisp September morning. The Bank of England stood ready to announce its latest interest rate decision. Most analysts predicted no change.

One pairs two of the high-end processors. The other doubles that number to four. The project carries support from John Ternus. He backed it while leading hardware engineering and now serves as chief executive. A lau
EU Draws Hard Line on Youth Screen Time With Tiered Social Media Ban (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Brussels delivered a blunt message Wednesday. Children under 13 will have no place on social media across the European Union. Those aged 13 and 14 get limited access through parent-controlled mini accounts. Full independence arrives only at 15. The announcement came from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in her annual State of the Union address in Strasbourg. “It is not about our minors accessing social media,” she said. “It is about when and how do we allow social media to acce
