"It could be the most astonishing tool for humanity if we use it as a tool. It could also be a terrible, terrible, terrible weapon," she said.
"My issue isn't AI. It's AI without safety and it's AI without human intervention … I'm not scared of AI. I'm scared of people who use AI and the kind of people that get to control AI."

- Vice President JD Vance on Thursday defended letting Iran keep its large arsenal of ballistic missiles as part of the preliminary deal, saying it was impossible to tell any country they were not allowed to maintain their right to self-defense.
"Countries don't give up the right of self-defense. Israel doesn't give up the right of self-defense if Hezbollah fires rockets or drones at Israel. The Iranians don't give up their right of self-defense in their country," he said at a briefing. "But we do expect that as part of the final deal they are not going to be able to build the kind of missiles that can broadly threaten the entire world."
U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, said at the start of the war that eliminating Iran's ballistic missile program was a key objective.

- Vice President JD Vance pushed back Thursday on Israeli critics of the Iran deal, noting the U.S. was Israel's only remaining powerful ally.
"Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time. And he happens to be the head of state of the world's superpower," he told reporters at a briefing.
"If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world."
President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were aligned when launching the war on Feb. 28, but have since grown apart as their war objectives diverge.
Israeli officials, who wanted the war to continue, have reportedly expressed "deep concern" about the deal, according to Axios. Prime Minister Netanyahu has remained silent since the memorandum of understanding was made public on Wednesday.

"The idea that he is going to strike a deal that's bad for the American people, it's preposterous," he told reporters at a White House briefing. "He believes in this deal. He is going to see it to completion. And if the Iranians don't comply, we still have every single tool and point of leverage that we have today."
As the vice president was speaking, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS), the chair of the Armed Services Committee, put out a statement saying he was concerned the deal "negotiates away the victories of Operation Epic Fury in ways that are completely out of step with the president's goals."
"Specifically, the $300 billion fund for the reconstruction and economic development of Iran — though not funded by U.S. taxpayers — would make Iran's payoff under President Obama's 2015 deal look like a pittance by comparison,"...

- Description
- The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady on Wednesday but signaled that a rate hike is on the horizon amid fears over rising inflation.
The decision leaves the target range for the benchmark lending rate between 3.5% and 3.75%, where it has been since December.
It was the first meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) since Kevin Warsh succeeded Jerome Powell as chair of the central bank.
It was also the first policy meeting since last June that did not feature any dissents.
President Trump had undertaken an unprecedented pressure campaign on the Fed and Mr. Powell to try to get interest rates lowered since taking office.
But central bankers, even with the president's newly installed chairman at the helm, are now forecasting one or more quarter-point increases by the end of the year.
The meeting followed inflation notching a three-year high in May, in large part because of the spike in energy...

- Schumer: "Trump's taking America's national security hostage"

- Description
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Wednesday slammed President Trump's decision to postpone Jay Clayton's confirmation hearing to serve as director of national intelligence and instead install Bill Pulte in the position in an acting capacity.
"Trump just got caught red-handed undermining America's national security," the Democratic leader said on the Senate floor. "Trump's taking America's national security hostage to serve his own personal interests."
President Trump's appointment of Mr. Pulte, a housing regulator with no intelligence experience, was met with deep skepticism on Capitol Hill and derailed bipartisan efforts to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Democrats demanded that Mr. Pulte never be allowed to head the nation's 18 intelligence agencies in exchange for their support for renewing the key surveillance authority.
President Trump then nominated Jay Clayton, the current top...

- President Trump said Wednesday that Bill Pulte will serve as acting director of national intelligence for the foreseeable future as he demands Congress address his other priorities first.
"As long as it takes to get everybody else approved," he told reporters at the G7 summit when asked how long he was willing to have Mr. Pulte head the intelligence community. "They were doing a rush act, and we didn't get anything for it. Look, he's a very legitimate guy, he's very smart."
The appointment of Mr. Pulte, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency who has no experience in intelligence matters, was met with deep skepticism on Capitol Hill and upended a bipartisan deal to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Democrats demanded that Mr. Pulte never be allowed to head the nation's 18 intelligence agencies in exchange for their support for renewing the key surveillance authority.

- President Trump on Wednesday appeared to cast doubt on whether the U.S. and Iran would sign their preliminary deal on Friday, saying "you never know with deals."
"I've gone into deals that were 100%, and they don't happen. I've gone into deals that there's no chance of getting them done, and it happens, and they happen easily," he said during a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the G7 summit in France.
"You never know with deals, but you're going to find out pretty soon. I think it'll be done. They want to sign. They want to get back to a normal life."

- Description
- President Trump on Wednesday said his agreement with Iran was "not final" and warned the U.S. could resume bombing if the country does not "behave."
"If I don't like it, we'll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head," he said during a meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France. "If I don't like it, if they don't behave, we'll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head."
The president also adamantly denied reports that the preliminary agreement, which has been shrouded in secrecy, included U.S. investments in a $300 billion fund established by Gulf allies for Iran.
"That's a false story that got picked up incorrectly," he said. "We are not investing ten cents."
President Trump said other countries were free to invest in the fund if they wanted, but that any investment would depend on Tehran's behavior.

- President Donald Trump at the G7 summit in France praises the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding (MOU) as a document that normalizes relations between the U.S. and Iran after months of warfare, indicates the text could be made public before the formal signing in Switzerland on Friday, and says he could send it to Congress for review.

"He still hasn't released any details at all about this so-called deal," the Democratic leader said at a press conference on Capitol Hill. "What exactly did we get out of Trump's failed war?"
Earlier in the day, President Trump said that he wants to wait until after the signing ceremony in Switzerland on Friday to release it to the public.
"I'll not only release it, I'll probably have a press conference and read it to you word by word so that the press covers it accurately," he told reporters at the G7 summit in France.

- Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said Tuesday he has not yet been briefed on what's included in President Trump's memorandum of understanding with Iran.
"I certainly have not yet, although we are requesting that, and I assume we will at some point hear from the administration with greater specificity about what's in that memorandum," he told reporters on Capitol Hill when asked whether he had been briefed.
"I mean, we're all hearing in generalities what's been reported so far, but until I get more specific information, I’m going to hesitate to say anything more about it."
The preliminary deal — which Vice President JD Vance described as "about a page and a half" and a "very general" document — has been shrouded in secrecy, even from members of Congress.
