Jensen Huang took a call from Trump on stage, but the real story was the unreleased Apple foldable in his hand. Meanwhile, the AI safety debate keeps churning: Anthropic wants mandatory kill switches, and Microsoft published a code of conduct.

House Republicans are stuck between Trump calling AI safety warnings a hoax and AI labs begging Congress for guardrails. One Republican questioned whether lawmakers who barely understand AI should be writing the rules at all.
