California governor Newsom signs laws to protect workers from AI risks

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed laws Wednesday aimed at protecting workers from the threats of artificial intelligence, including potential job losses and workplace surveillance. He also signed an executive order to require state agencies to continue to refer to the technology as "artificial intelligence" instead of the term " super intelligence " President Donald Trump recently ordered US diplomats to use. "AI should expand opportunity - not come at the expense of workers and families," the Democratic governor said in a statement. "As this technology reshapes the workplace, California is putting people at the centre." Newsom sharply criticised Trump at an hourlong event with reporters Wednesday for not passing comprehensive federal AI regulations at a time when industry leaders are warning about the technology's risks. Trump said Tuesday that top tech leaders signed a voluntary accord to "self-police" AI development. The governor signed a law this month requiring operators of

OpenAI unveils 'always-on' AI agents as company pauses model rollout

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman introduced a "remarkably capable, always-on" artificial intelligence agent at an appearance Tuesday, a day after the company halted the rollout of a more advanced model over security concerns. At the company's annual developer conference, Altman made a slew of product announcements and updates, including OpenAI's new agents, called Dots. The agents, designed to complete ongoing tasks proactively on behalf of users, are a competitor of Meta's personal agent Muse, which exploded in popularity after Meta's own conference last week. Dot agents will be "like an AI helper that always has your back, inspired by the cool versions of what we all watched in movies growing up," Altman said. On Monday, OpenAI said it was holding off on releasing the other model because of concerns raised by its researchers. That followed broader calls within the industry to decelerate the pace of the technology's advance to let safety measures catch up. Altman avoided making references to

Trump, top tech firms sign accord to 'self-police' AI development

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that he and a large group of leaders of artificial intelligence companies had signed a voluntary accord that will include internal and external reviews of the technology during a meeting at the White House. "I think I'm seeing tremendous self-policing. And they understand that they have to self-police," Trump told reporters outside the West Wing. The announcement followed an extensive meeting between Trump and numerous leading executives from top tech firms that are spending hundreds of billions of dollars to build out AI infrastructure, including data centres in communities across the country that have sparked grassroots, bipartisan opposition. Many of the executives gathered in Washington have called for a slowdown in the development of the technology after several high-profile incidents where AI agents have gone rogue. But earlier Tuesday, Trump promised that the US government wouldn't limit the development of artificial intelligence or ...
