What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

San Francisco (United States) (AFP) – The Trump administration on Tuesday met with tech leaders to finalize a security review process for advanced AI models before their release, though it will apply only to "closed" models, US media reported.

However, it remains unclear when -- or if -- the White House will release the details of the process or how it will be implemented and enforced.

According to Axios, the review process will only apply to closed models that are tightly controlled by their developers. Major closed model developers include OpenAI, Anthropic and Google.

By contrast, Meta and Nvidia are developing "open" models that can be downloaded and updated directly by users. Open models are made by competitors in China, including DeepSeek and Moonshot, as well as Mistral in France.

Tuesday's meeting at the White House reportedly included OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Nvidia, Microsoft and Meta.

The move to exempt open models is likely aimed at helping the United States stay competitive with China.

However, there is a "deeper problem," according to Martijn Rasser, vice president for technology at the Special Competitive Studies Project, a think tank founded and chaired by former Google chief executive Eric Schmidt.

"The United States still lacks a statutory, predictable process for evaluating the security of frontier AI models," Rasser wrote in a LinkedIn post on Tuesday, adding that a voluntary framework applying only to closed models "concentrates the uncertainty" on a handful of companies.

There's no way anyone in this administration has the skills to do any kind of meaningful review of an AI model. They'll just ask it questions about trans people and condemn it if the answers aren't sufficiently hateful.

Is this how the bubble bursts?

No, this is how they are slowly building up their excuses for government bail-out of the AI companies when it bursts.
