The Iran War is likely to be a main topic and appears a deep a shiver on reports. The AI race is also expected to come up. When it comes to AI technology from American companies like Open AI and Thropic and Google,
experts say those models are better than what China's putting out. The US is by some estimates about six to 12 months ahead of China. So Trump is right that the US is leading the AI race in that regard. But where China is inching ahead is on AI adoption, how integrated AI is in their society and how accessible their AI products are in the meeting this week, Trump, and she are expected
to talk about global risk management when it comes to the rise of AI, Deepashivaram and PR news.

Some planets appear to have a special trick to survive periods of environmental upheaval.
Are you Daniel? Has more? There are species whose entire genomes get duplicated and stuffed into every one of their cells. It can ultimately impact survival, but it's pretty common today, especially in plans.
Why is that? There's scour of the DNA of several hundred plants for evidence of genome duplication events that occurred long ago and look to see when they happened. In particular, says Gent university plant biologist Yvendipir.
They clustered during periods of turmoil over the last 150 million years, times of dramatic
cooling or warming or widespread extinction. Genome duplication appears to allow plants to survive extreme environmental stress. For NPR news, I'm Ari Daniel.
