"There is an opportunity to really start to build something up globally, and have countries around the world, including China, potentially participate."Lehane said the proposed organization could resemble the International Atomic Energy Agency, which includes China and sets global safety standards for nuclear energy development.TRUMP READIES FOR BEIJING SUMMIT WITH XI AS AI CHIP SALES, FARM GOODS TOP AGENDAHe added that such a framework could be built by linking the U.S. Commerce Department’s Center for AI Standards and Innovation with AI safety institutes being developed around the world.Lehane said OpenAI has floated the idea of connecting AI safety institutes, though it is unclear whether the Trump administration would support China’s participation in setting global guidelines.The comments come as President Donald Trump arrived in China ahead of talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.Several business leaders joined Trump on the trip, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The chipmaker is the world’s most valuable company, with a market value of about $5.3 trillion.BOEING PURSUES MASSIVE CHINA JET DEAL AS CEO JOINS TRUMP'S DELEGATION TO BEIJINGThe talks are expected to take place against the backdrop of the ongoing war in Iran, as well as continued U.S.-China tensions over tariffs, artificial intelligence and trade.The two countries could discuss new commitments by China to purchase U.S. agricultural products and jetliners, while restrictions on the sale of advanced AI chips remain a potential sticking point.Ahead of the visit, former White House AI adviser David Sacks weighed in on the intensifying AI competition between the two countries on "The Claman Countdown."FROM ROGUE AI BLACKMAILING HUMANS TO CONDENSING SCHOOL DAYS, THE AI REVOLUTION IS ALREADY RESHAPING LIFE"I do think that there are things that may be in our common interest, and it's worthwhile to explore having those conversations," he said."The fact is, we have to still protect from against each other.

- Cisco to cut thousands of jobs as AI push accelerates after earnings beatCisco Systems is planning to cut nearly 4,000 employees as part of a broader strategic shift toward artificial intelligence (AI), following a stronger-than-expected earnings report on Wednesday.The layoffs, representing less than 5% of the company’s global workforce, sent shares up roughly 20% in after-hours trading.The San Jose-based tech giant said the move reflects its strategy to position itself for the AI era by redirecting investment toward areas with the strongest demand and highest value."I’m confident Cisco will be one of those winners. This means making hard decisions," Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins said. META'S BAY AREA LAYOFFS AFFECT ROUGHLY 200 WORKERS AS COMPANY POURS BILLIONS INTO AI INFRASTRUCTURE"With this, we are making changes today that will result in the reduction of our overall workforce in Q4 by fewer than 4,000 jobs, representing less than 5% of our total employee base."Hours earlier, the company reported Q3 FY2026 earnings that significantly exceeded Wall Street expectations.

- Florida bans sloth imports after dozens of animals die at planned Orlando attrac...Florida wildlife officials signed an executive order on Wednesday to temporarily ban the importation of sloths following dozens of animal deaths at an Orlando facility.Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) executive director Col. Roger Young said the planned attraction, Sloth World, has relinquished all of its permits after a fatal intestinal infection swept through its animals.Young confirmed the outbreak is isolated to Sloth World and said inspections of other Class III wildlife facilities in Florida found no widespread issues.WORLD'S FIRST SMART DOG COLLAR USES AI TO TRACK PET HEALTH, DETECT ESCAPE ATTEMPTS NATIONWIDE FOR PET PARENTSThe crackdown comes after Sloth World imported at least 69 wild-caught sloths for a planned "Slotharium" exhibit, according to the Sloth Conservation Foundation (SloCo). At least 31 of the sloths died before the facility opened to the public and roughly 24 sloths remain unaccounted for.Following Sloth World's closure, 13 surviving sloths were relocated to the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens on April 24 for emergency veterinary treatment.Three of the sloths that arrived in the most critical condition — Bandit, Habanero and Dumpling — have since died, according to the zoo.AWARD-WINNING PILOT AND WIFE DIE IN PLANE CRASH AFTER DIRTY WINDOWS PROMPT EMERGENCY LANDING, PET DOG SURVIVESNecropsy reports confirmed the primary cause of death for the animals was severe emaciation, with Bandit also suffering from abnormal fluid accumulation in his body.The youngest and smallest of the rescued group, a sloth named Mr. Ginger, remains in critical condition in intensive care.Zoo veterinary staff are working around the clock to save the remaining sloths and recently received a special shipment of fecal samples from healthy sloths at the Los Angeles Zoo to help restore the gut microbiome of the sick animals.DOG TREATS RECALLED OVER FEARS OF SALMONELLA CONTAMINATION, FDA SAYSSloCo officials said the surviving sloths can never be released back into the wild because their exact origins are unknown. Returning the animals could carry genetic risks to wild populations and the potential of introducing foreign pathogens.Since sloths have lifespans of over 50 years, the organization said survivors now face a lifetime in human care at accredited Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) facilities.Earlier this month, U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., and Democratic Florida State Rep.
