- Twenty countries have proposed creating a global oversight body to manage the dangers of AI, according to Al Jazeera.
- Australian Foreign Minister Wong warned Trump and Xi that AI should be subject to nuclear-style limits.
- Australia has done "precious little" to prepare for the dangers of AI, The Guardian reported, questioning the country's leadership on the issue.
Why it matters: Twenty countries formally backing a global AI oversight body marks the first coordinated multilateral push for AI governance at this scale. Wong's nuclear-style framing directly challenges Trump and Xi — the leaders of the two countries furthest ahead in AI development — to accept binding constraints, a rare moment where both Washington and Beijing face the same diplomatic pressure on AI from a U.S. ally.
