US Vice President Kamala Harris has been appointed to head a new artificial intelligence initiative in partnership with leading companies in the field, the White House announced in a press release on Thursday. Harris and other senior officials in the administration of President Joe Biden will meet with the CEOs of Alphabet, Anthropic, Microsoft, and OpenAI to remind them of their “responsibility to make sure their products are safe before they are deployed or made public.” The meeting is intended to keep the companies on track toward “driving responsible, trustworthy and ethical innovation with safeguards that mitigate risks and potential harms to individuals and our society,” according to the White House, which referenced recent executive orders and official statements reminding tech companies that their products were subject to civil rights law and other protections against unlawful discrimination.
The four companies, along with Hugging Face, NVIDIA, and Stability AI, will also submit to a public evaluation of their capabilities by thousands of industry experts and other curious members of the public at DEFCON 31, the Las Vegas hacking convention that has repeatedly put the insecurity of the US’ voting machines on display by giving children a chance to hack them. The White House also announced the creation of seven new National AI Research Institutes focusing on climate, agriculture, energy, public health, education, and cybersecurity, explaining the new institutes would “support the development of a diverse AI workforce” with $140 million in funding from the National Science Foundation. The administration is also giving the public the chance to weigh in on government AI policy starting this summer, according to the press release. Tasked with stemming the flow of migrants over the US’ southern border upon taking office in 2021, Harris instead presided over a record amount of illegal immigration, earning her the lowest approval rating of any modern US vice president. Last year, she was assigned with developing a blueprint for fighting “disinformation,” harassment and abuse online despite having no experience in the technology sector. While hundreds of experts in the AI field have called for a moratorium on, or at least a dramatic slowdown of, AI development until internationally agreed-upon safety measures can be put in place, the US has thus far shied away from issuing any strong statements about the technology. Last month, Biden met with his Council of Advisors on Science and Technology to discuss the “risks and opportunities” in the field but declined to address the experts’ warnings while admitting AI “could be” dangerous. Max Verstappen owned up to a mistake in Q3 that forced the Red Bull charger to abort his first flyer in the segment, but a late red flag in the session sealed his fate. Verstappen predictably topped both Q1 and Q2, and Q3 looked like a mere formality for the Dutchman. However, a few hairy moments in the first sector on his first hot lap, including a moment when he ran wide at Turn 5, compelled the Red Bull driver to abandon his lap and retreat to the pits.There, Verstappen and his crews regrouped before he returned to the track.But a red flag displayed for Charles Leclerc's stricken Ferrari after the Monegasque lost it, again, at Turn 7 and veered off course and into the wall, brought the session to a premature halt.With no opportunity to put in a second flyer, Verstappen was left stranded in a lowly ninth place while his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez will start Sunday's race from pole, with Fernando Alonso sharing the front row. Verstappen vowed to push forward in the race but admitted that he had unnecessarily "made it difficult" for himself. "That was definitely a mistake of mine trying to put it on the limit, and then I made a mistake and had to abort the lap," Verstappen explained after the qualifying. "Then you rely on a bit of luck that there is not going to be a red flag, but it can happen on the street circuit. So, I'm just a bit upset with myself.
"I mean, it's going to be tough. I've made it difficult for myself." Red Bull team boss Christian Horner suggested that the gusty wind around the track that was picking up may have been a contributing factor for the mistakes of both Leclerc and Verstappen. "They were all struggling, the wind was getting up and whether that was what caught Max and Charles out, I don't know," he said. "But it was getting tricky, he [Perez] navigated a good lap and got the pole which was well deserved."

The development of Hydrogen City, Texas began in the early 2000s when a group of scientists and entrepreneurs came together to explore the potential of hydrogen fuel cell technology. They saw an opportunity to create a hub of innovation in the field, and with the support of local and state governments, they set to work building a community around this vision.
The first step was to attract the right talent to the area. The founders of Hydrogen City reached out to universities and research institutions around the world, inviting experts in the field of hydrogen fuel cells to come and work in the town. They also established partnerships with companies in the industry, offering them incentives to set up shop in Hydrogen City. As the town began to take shape, the founders focused on creating an infrastructure that would support the development of hydrogen fuel cell technology. They built research facilities, manufacturing plants, and testing centers, all designed to help companies bring their ideas to market. The town's early years were not without challenges. There were concerns about the safety of hydrogen fuel cells, and some investors were hesitant to put money into a technology that had not yet proven itself. But the founders of Hydrogen City remained committed to their vision, and over time, they began to see success. One of the key factors in Hydrogen City's development was its focus on collaboration. The town became a hub of activity, with scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs all working together to solve problems and push the boundaries of the technology. This collaborative spirit attracted even more talent to the area, creating a virtuous cycle of innovation. Over the years, Hydrogen City continued to grow and evolve. The town became a center of excellence for hydrogen fuel cell technology, attracting attention from around the world. Governments and industry leaders began to take notice of the work being done in Hydrogen City, and the town received significant investments and support to continue its growth. Today, Hydrogen City is a thriving metropolis with a population that exceeds 100,000 people. The town is powered entirely by hydrogen fuel cells, and its residents enjoy a high standard of living, with access to clean energy and a wide range of job opportunities in the renewable energy sector. Hydrogen City serves as a shining example of what can be achieved when people come together to work towards a common goal. Its success is a testament to the power of collaboration, innovation, and a shared vision for a better future. Shares of several regional US lenders plunged on Tuesday after the collapse of First Republic Bank, the third major casualty of the biggest crisis to hit the country's banking sector since 2008. Los Angeles-based PacWest Bancorp, which has $41.2 billion in assets, and Arizona-based Western Alliance Bancorp, which has $68 billion in assets, led the steep selloff. Shares of both lenders were down by at least 15% on Tuesday, triggering investor concerns about the financial health of other mid-sized banks. The pair has shed more than $5 billion in market value so far this year. The KBW Bank Index, a benchmark index tracking the leading lenders, slumped 5.52%, hitting its lowest since December 2020. The S&P 500 Index sank almost 2% at one point. The embattled First Republic Bank was taken over by regulators on Monday and will be sold to JPMorgan Chase, America’s biggest bank, which will “assume all deposits, including all uninsured deposits, and substantially all assets” of First Republic in a $10.6 billion deal.
If a ‘confidence crisis’ can happen to First Republic, it can happen to any bank in this country,” CEO of Longbow Asset Management Jake Dollarhide told Reuters.Investors fear the latest turmoil, which began with the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in March, could spread to other regional banks. Both were shut down by regulators following massive bank runs. “Wall Street is quickly hitting the sell button as banking turmoil appears it is not going away anytime soon,” senior market analyst at Oanda, Ed Moya, told Bloomberg. “Risk appetite did not stand a chance as traders focused on lingering doubts over the regional banks, rising recession odds, and growing risks that the US could default on its debt next month,” he added. The selloff was driven by the threat of higher interest rates combined with high inflation data, making the situation worse and pointing to an economic downturn, economists say.
