‘America is back’, AI ‘conspiracy’, China’s Laos deal: 7 global relations reads

US President Donald Trump has downplayed concerns about artificial intelligence, claiming America already has safeguards in place. He described growing concerns about AI as a "sick conspiracy" and said he was the only guardrail needed.

The discussion around AI adoption has highlighted the importance of governance, data, and accuracy. According to Hari Gopalkrishnan, chief technology and information officer at Bank of America, the company evaluates AI implementations across 16 risk dimensions, including privacy, bias, workforce implications, and intellectual property.

Gopalkrishnan also noted that companies should start with the client need, rather than rushing to implement AI, and that simpler technology may sometimes yield a more reliable return. This was reported by Fortune.

I let an AI design LEGO-style models, then wrote code that decides whether they're allowed to exist

I'm one person with four iOS apps released in September. This is about the one I found hardest to get right: Brickium. The idea: you list the bricks you already own, say what you want ("a small car with four wheels"), and the app designs a model from only those parts, then shows step-by-step 3D instructions.

An individual launched four iOS apps, with Brickium being the most challenging
