Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbs.
The leaders of three rival AI companies are issuing a start warning that the technology
“is advancing faster than safety protections and regulations can keep up.”
And if yours wins their Johnson reports, they're calling for a slow-dumb, but it's not clear who would set the rules or who would enforce them.
The CEO of Anthropic is urging AI companies to slow the development of the most powerful
models. The leaders of Open AI, Google DeepMind and SpaceX AI, are backing the call. Sarah Krebs is a technology policy expert at Cornell University. She says the companies could benefit from helping shape any new rules, but their unusual agreement is difficult to dismiss.
When all of those companies in the lead are speaking with one voice and our competitors with each other, they might also be something going on. DeepMind says Congress could impose regulations, but the technology may evolve faster than lawmakers can respond. Windsor-Johnston and PR News.

Delaware's holding its primary this week as voters pick House Senate and Attorney General Candidates less than two months to go to the midterm elections, meanwhile Republicans held an unusual midterm convention last week where President Trump promised $5,000 to each American adult if Republicans keep the Senate in House. And if you're as marginalized and has more.
The reaction has been surprisingly tepid even among Republicans. Some are worried that even if Congress would approve such a payout because the President can't give away this money himself, it would cost more than a trillion dollars adding to the already historically high national debt unless it was paid for by raising other taxes or more budget cuts.
And then there's the element of whether this promise has any credibility with voters. Trump here's marginalized and reporting, meanwhile House Speaker Mike Johnson says there's no guarantee about the $5,000.
“Like every idea that the President comes up with, he's a great idea generator.”
We're going to process that in Congress and figure it all out. Speaking there on NBC's Meet the Press. Investors on Wall Street are awaiting a decision from the Fed this week on interest rates, and PR's Rafael Nam has more. The Fed has helped raise steady throughout the year even though inflation has remained fairly
high. The rising energy cost because of the war with Iran now has most investors expecting a rate hike when policymakers announce their decision on Wednesday, but it's not a done deal. The Fed has been fairly divided, and some economists believe the Fed may choose instead to keep waiting.
A rate hike would come with the midterm elections coming up in November, and it would be
the first underchair Kevin Wars, who is nominated by President Trump in the hopes that
he would lead the Fed into lowering rates, and not raising them, Rafael Nam in PR News. You're listening to NPR News from Washington. Photos in Sweden are going to the polls today in an election that's expected to be extremely close. And here's as me Nicholson reports, recent polls show the gap is narrowing between left and
right wing blocks. Officials say the ferry was carrying more than 240 people when it sank in heavy seas on a trip from Surabaya in East Java to Bunjar Masin in South Kalimantan province. Authorities say the captain of the vessel had reported waves of up to 10 feet, an issued a distress message in the early morning hours before the ship sank.
Officials deployed rescue teams aboard several vessels, as well as a helicopter to search for survivors. Indonesia is an archipelago of some 17,000 islands where ferries are a common form of travel, hundreds of relatives of the missing of gathered at Bunjar Masin's Trasak de Port waiting for news of the missing.
For NPR News, I'm Michael Sullivan in Chiang Rai. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is warning that rising geopolitical tensions supply change disruptions and climate change issues are affecting people around the world. He made the comments at the BRICS summit in New Delhi today, where he called for stronger cooperation around the global south.
BRICS has 11 members representing about half the world's population, looking for greater representation for developing countries and global institutions. The leaders expressed concern over escalating tensions in various regions and supported a multi-polar world order. I'm Janine Herbst and P.R. News in Washington, this is Ira Glass. On this American life,
we tell stories about when things change, like for this guy David, who's an entire life, took a sharp and expected and very unpleasant term.
And it did take me a while to realize it's basically because the monkey pressed the button.
