   Trump signs executive order requiring voluntary AI safety testing before model releases

   President Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday requiring AI companies to voluntarily submit their most advanced models for government security testing before public release. The order tasks agencies like the Pentagon and CISA (a cybersecurity agency) to strengthen cyber defenses using AI tools within 30 days. While labeled voluntary, the cooperation may not be truly optional given recent government pressure on AI companies.

   Future AI chatbots and tools like ChatGPT may face delays or restrictions if they don't pass government safety reviews, potentially affecting when new features reach consumers.

   UK forces Google to give publishers opt-out controls for AI training data

   Britain's competition authority (CMA) ordered Google to provide news publishers with opt-out controls for AI training by December 2026, separating content display rights from AI training rights. The ruling covers Google AI Overviews (AI-generated search summaries), AI Mode, Gemini chatbot, and Vertex AI services. Publishers can opt out without facing penalties in regular search rankings.

   News websites will soon have more control over whether Google's AI systems use their articles for training, potentially changing how AI search results look and what information they contain.

   Senator Warren calls Nvidia CEO to testify on China chip sales amid export restrictions

   Senator Elizabeth Warren invited Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to testify on June 11 about the company's business in China and compliance with U.S. export controls on advanced AI chips. US regulators recently closed a loophole that allowed Nvidia and AMD to ship AI chips to Chinese customers through non-Chinese subsidiaries, directly affecting their international AI chip market.

   The testimony could lead to stricter rules on AI chip exports to China, potentially affecting the development and availability of AI systems globally.

   Kore.ai launches Artemis platform that builds AI agents automatically

   Kore.ai released Artemis, a platform that uses AI to automatically write, govern, and optimize AI agents (automated assistants) from plain-language instructions. The system can complete tasks that previously took engineering teams months to build in just days, automatically validating agents before deployment and recommending improvements over time.

   Businesses may soon be able to create custom AI assistants without hiring specialized engineers, potentially making AI automation more accessible to smaller companies.

   OpenAI publishes blueprint for democratic AI governance

   OpenAI released a policy blueprint on June 3 outlining proposals for U.S. governance of frontier AI systems, focusing on safety, resilience, and national security. The document provides a framework for how the government should regulate the most advanced AI models while balancing innovation and safety concerns.

   OpenAI's proposals could influence how the government regulates future AI systems like ChatGPT, potentially affecting what features are allowed and how quickly new AI tools reach the public.
