In this ninth episode of AI NEWS, one question takes center stage: should we keep accelerating the development of artificial intelligence, or should we start slowing down? While Sam Altman and Dario Amodei are calling for slower development of the most advanced AI systems, Donald Trump and Mark Zuckerberg oppose the idea, while China is also refusing to slow down. The debate over AI safety is therefore taking on a geopolitical dimension, just as King Charles III brings together several industry leaders to discuss the risks and the safeguards that should be put in place.

While this debate becomes increasingly global, AI continues to gain autonomy. Claude can now keep working even after you close your computer, Aletta can find a vein and perform a blood draw autonomously, while Figure is testing its robots in homes they have never seen before. From the digital world to the physical one, AI is no longer simply answering our questions: it is increasingly performing tasks on its own.

Across safety, surveillance, new models, autonomous agents, and robots capable of acting in the real world, the real issue may no longer be simply what AI will be capable of doing tomorrow, but what responsibilities, limits, and place we want to give it as it becomes increasingly capable of acting on its own.
