Tesla's use of cameras and artificial intelligence technology in its Full Self-Driving software has raised safety concerns, prompting regulators to scrutinize the system. In contrast, other companies are incorporating a range of technologies such as radar, lidar, and sophisticated mapping systems into their driverless vehicles to ensure safety and meet regulatory requirements.

The proliferation of deepfake technology has led to a growing threat against women in politics, with numerous female lawmakers targeted by AI-generated pornographic images and videos. In the UK, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner was among over 30 British female politicians found to be targeted by a deepfake porn website, while Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is seeking damages from two men accused of creating deepfakes featuring her. In Pakistan, lawmakers Meena Majeed and Azma Bukhari were also victims of deepfakes, with the latter saying she felt "shattered" after discovering a video that superimposed her face on the body of an Indian actor. The trend is having a "silencing effect" on women in politics, according to experts, who warn that it will have far-reaching consequences if left unchecked.

The guidance was informed by feedback from an expert workshop, over 800 comments from external parties, and the FDA's experience with more than 500 submissions containing AI components since 2016. The agency is asking for input on how well the draft aligns with industry experience and whether available options for engaging with the FDA on AI use are sufficient. This guidance is specific to drug and biological products, and follows a separate announcement of draft guidance on AI-enabled medical devices.

The company's strong demand for artificial intelligence (AI) servers drove growth in its cloud and networking products division, particularly from customers such as Nvidia, an AI chip firm. In contrast, sales of smart consumer electronics, including iPhones assembled by Foxconn, experienced "roughly flattish" year-on-year growth.
