President Trump Dismisses Chinese Spying Concerns, Citing Reciprocal Intelligence Activities

President Trump on Sunday dismissed concerns regarding a report that Chinese entities provided satellite imagery to Iran before a missile attack that killed three U.S. troops. Speaking aboard Air Force One, President Trump stated that China "spies on us" just as "we spy on them." The Wall Street Journal report, which Reuters could not immediately verify, alleged that Chinese entities supplied high-resolution satellite imagery of Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan to Iran prior to the July 17 missile attack. When asked if he would raise the issue with Chinese President Xi Jinping during an upcoming meeting, President Trump did not directly answer, instead equating the surveillance activities of both nations. He reiterated his belief that President Xi has "behaved reasonably well" and that the U.S. also behaves "reasonably well."

Anthropic CEO Calls for Pacing AI Development and Global Cooperation Amidst Rapid Advancement

Dario Amodei, CEO of AI company Anthropic, has advocated for a deliberate slowdown in the pace of AI capabilities advancement to ensure safety and allow risk prevention measures to keep pace. Amodei's proposal, outlined in a 3,800-word essay, suggests a three-step plan: unilateral commitment by Anthropic to embedded third-party evaluators, industry-wide coordination among democratic countries, and global coordination with authoritarian governments like China. This call comes as AI technology, particularly recursive self-improvement, is advancing at an unprecedented rate, raising concerns about potential misuse for cyberattacks, bioterrorism, and economic disruption. Amodei highlights recent incidents, such as a swarm of AI agents conducting cybersecurity attacks, as evidence of the urgent need for more robust safety protocols and slower development. He emphasizes that pacing does not mean halting progress but rather ensuring adequate time for alignment, safeguarding models, and independent verification.
