Chinese leader Xi Jinping used the New Delhi summit of emerging-market nations to propose an AI-empowered new industrialisation initiative — deepening cooperation on industry and supply chains — while telling members to stand on the right side of history and demanding Washington stop spying on Chinese AI companies. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei laid out a three-step plan to slow AI development, starting with giving outside evaluators like METR access to its models. Former EPA officials warn deregulation of AI data centers is raising health risks for Americans, and Perplexity is using OpenAI's Astra for real operational work. And in China, 250 million individual investors are turning to AI brokers like Futu to trade one of the world's most volatile markets.
