US President Donald Trump has rejected calls for joint work with China on artificial intelligence risks, saying cooperation could weaken America's lead. His position came as Google, Nvidia, Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta Platforms and SpaceXAI signed a voluntary White House accord promising internal controls, outside audits and regular discussions on safer AI practices.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has said he no longer remembers his home address or phone number and sees little value in memorising such details. During a discussion on the Ezra Klein Show, he also argued that students may not need to memorise multiplication tables as artificial intelligence handles more routine tasks.

China’s AI developers have used overseas cloud data centres to access advanced Nvidia processors despite chip restrictions. Planned US measures targeting remote access could close that route, disrupt Southeast Asia’s fast-growing data-centre market, pressure Nvidia’s international revenue and accelerate Beijing’s drive to build a domestic alternative.

Scaleout Systems, a Swedish AI startup and Uppsala University spin-off in NATO’s DIANA accelerator, demonstrated an autonomous drone mission during BAE Systems Bofors’ ALMA Winter Demo 2026. The system used an onboard Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano to identify, prioritise and engage an armoured engineering vehicle without external communications or human input beyond launch.
Policy & Safety
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has rejected AI doomsday scenarios, saying in a CBS News interview that 2030 will not mark the end of the world. Huang argued that artificial intelligence can be managed safely, while insisting the industry should continue moving quickly without releasing products before they are ready or safe.
