Anthropic CEO Amodei called for the global AI industry to slow down development and strengthen safety assessments. Musk, the head of xAI, and Altman, CEO of OpenAI, expressed support for this, which attracted international attention. Jack Clark, co-founder of Anthropic, also called for legislation to force the installation of a "kill switch" on AI.

According to the "BBC" report, Clark said that when artificial intelligence becomes too dangerous, society may hope to shut it down completely by formulating rules. Although most AI laboratories, including Anthropic, have different methods to terminate it, legislation may be required to make it mandatory.

Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigned due to concerns that AI may destroy humanity. His post last week caused a viral sensation on the Internet; anthropologist Evan Hubinger believes that the probability of AI destroying humanity in the next 10 years is more than 10%.

Regarding the fact that AI has a 10% chance of killing all humans, Geoffrey Hinton, the godfather of AI and Nobel Prize winner, believes that it is not nonsense, because AI may control all systems connected to the Internet and use it to deal with humans.

However, many experts in the AI ​​industry point out that claims that AI will destroy humanity are exaggerated, or may be a gimmick created to attract attention. Clement Delangue, head of the AI ​​developer platform Hugging Face, said that asking Coxon about the risk of AI exterminating humanity is like asking an air-conditioning repairman about climate change. Everyone should look at the issue rationally.

Trump dismisses calls for AI regulation, says only guardrails needed are strong, smart president

President Trump took to social media to reject calls from AI industry executives for new restrictions, saying the only guardrails needed were a strong and smart president, dismissing security concerns as hoaxes and suggesting it would give China an advantage. He did not directly address risks such as job losses and biological weapons, but instead questioned executives' motives. Vice President Vance and House Speaker Johnson warned of the Chinese threat but advocated cautious regulation, while Democratic leaders called for legislation. The White House did not comment. Trump’s personal understanding of technology is superficial.

Implementation of new rules for micro-short dramas: AI labeling and infringement disputes coexist, platform responsibilities escalate

The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television's "Measures for the Development and Management of Micro-Short Dramas" was officially implemented. Reporters found that some AI micro-short dramas were not marked with AI-generated content, and infringement issues such as script washing and AI face-changing and imitating voices still existed. The new regulations emphasize the responsibility of platform entities, and the judicial opinion of the Supreme People's Court requires that infringing content be stopped in a timely manner. At the same time, the micro-short drama + action plan promotes the high-quality production of realistic themes. Works such as "I Was an Undercover Agent" have attracted attention. The market size has exceeded 100 billion, and users have used it for 129 minutes in a single day.

Children should use AI to guard against emerging digital risks! Investigation reveals: AI deepfake face-changing also affects junior high school students

A survey by the Child Welfare Alliance shows that 31.4% of junior high school students have encountered problems with the use of AI. 15.1% of them have encountered classmates using AI to change faces to make fake photos or videos, 4.1% have been exposed to AI-generated violent or pornographic content, and 2.5% have seen AI-generated pornographic images of classmates. AI lowers the threshold for fraud and increases the risk of digital gender violence. It also shows that middle school students have insufficient media literacy. Only 31.8% do not believe AI fake news pictures at all. Australia's ban on social groups for those under 16 has sparked international discussion. 77% of Taiwan's junior high school students disagree with the ban, mainly worried about difficulty in contacting friends or feeling bored. Experts warn that children who treat AI as a target of confiding may also develop emotional dependence and risk personal information leakage.

The proliferation of children's phone and watch functions has caused controversy. Experts call for a return to the original intention of protecting children.

As the functions of children's phone watches expand from call positioning to smartphone-based functions such as social networking, games, and payments, parents are worried about their children's vision loss, addiction to use, and increased consumption impulses. Brand barriers may also affect children's peer relationships. Experts point out that children's self-control ability is limited, and product design should avoid converting social needs into user stickiness tools, emphasizing necessity assessment and phased function opening. The new national standard will be implemented in 2027, but compliance does not mean suitable for children.
