Three rival tech chiefs unexpectedly aligned behind a call to pace AI's advance, only for President Trump to wave it off days later — while Barack Obama pushes Democrats to campaign on the issue and Latino workers brace for the steepest automation exposure of any group.
- President Trump dismissed a joint call from Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman and xAI's Elon Musk to slow AI development, insisting the U.S. cannot cede its edge over China.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson ruled out an emergency AI moratorium while Hakeem Jeffries and former President Obama pushed Democrats toward faster government action on the technology.
- Latino workers face the country's steepest automation exposure of any group, with millions of jobs at risk according to UCLA's Latino Data Hub, a gap Rep. Adriano Espaillat has tried to address through long-pending federal legislation.
