Albanese to push Trump for AI safeguards at UN summit

au.news.yahoo.com

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will urge US President Donald Trump to support stronger AI regulations during the UN General Assembly in New York, despite Trump dismissing technology concerns as a "hoax." Albanese plans to advocate for AI safeguards in private talks with Trump, citing their positive relationship, while also raising the issue publicly. He discussed the matter with former Apple CEO Tim Cook, and Australia will introduce national AI standards legislation later this year. The push aligns with calls from OpenAI and Anthropic leaders for slower AI development. Albanese will also seek US support for de-escalating the war with Iran, which is driving up global oil prices and inflation.
