  "account": "US President Donald Trump delivered a speech at the United Nations, asserting American military power and projecting a push for global dominance. Trump defended his ongoing war with Iran, stating that he must now decide whether to annihilate the Islamic Republic or strike a deal that allows Iran to rebuild. The US president also declared his rejection of international attempts to control artificial intelligence, in sharp contrast to a coalition of world leaders who signed a statement advocating for global guardrails over AI. The comment came only a day after 22 world leaders, including Australia's Anthony Albanese, backed the proposal for global safeguards on artificial intelligence. Trump, known for his downplay of AI risks, now intends to refer to \"superintelligence\" in all official US government documents, a term defined as an advanced form of AI that exceeds human capabilities. Some experts warn that superintelligence poses significant risks to humanity.",
