This week brought important updates on how AI systems are being regulated and protected. New York State passed a major law to watch advanced AI systems, while President Trump's executive order tried to make AI rules the same across all states instead of letting each state make its own rules. Several important safety issues came into focus: blockchain technology is being tested to make AI more transparent, automated AI is now cutting into HR jobs, and there are serious concerns about keeping children safe from AI-generated harmful content. Companies developing the most powerful AI systems will need new safety protocols and must tell authorities about safety problems within 72 hours. The week showed that while businesses want freedom to build AI fast, communities and experts are pushing back to make sure AI development includes ethics and human protection alongside innovation. Transparent AI systems are becoming more important for public trust, and some companies like OpenAI are creating special safety teams.
