1 AI Leaders Reportedly Signed A "Constitution" To Police Themselves
President Donald Trump says leading artificial intelligence companies have signed a voluntary agreement designed to set safety standards for the rapidly growing technology. Trump described the document as a "constitution" for AI companies and said it is "morally binding," although it does not carry the force of law. The agreement, called the "White House Accord on Superintelligence," was announced after Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson met yesterday with executives. Johnson said companies are committing to stronger internal controls, independent reviews, audits and greater transparency. The agreement does not create new federal regulations or penalties.
2 Former "American Idol" Contestant Found Guilty Of Wife's Murder
A jury has found former "American Idol" contestant and church music pastor Caleb Flynn guilty of murdering his wife, Ashley, at their Ohio home. Prosecutors said Flynn shot the 37-year-old teacher twice in the head while she slept, then staged the house to look like an intruder had broken in. They presented messages Flynn sent to a woman with whom he was having an affair, including several in which he talked about wanting his wife dead. The defense argued there was no physical proof that Flynn fired the gun, but the jury convicted him of aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence.
3 Supreme Court Allows President's "Third Country" Deportation Policy
The Supreme Court has again allowed the Trump administration to deport some immigrants to countries where they have never lived while a legal challenge continues, with the court’s three liberal justices dissenting. Lower courts had ruled that immigrants must have a meaningful chance to argue they could face torture or persecution before being sent elsewhere, but the Supreme Court temporarily blocked that ruling and will hear arguments in December. Thousands of immigrants have been deported to third countries since Trump returned to office, including South Sudan, Eswatini and Rwanda. The administration says restrictions on the policy created major logistical and diplomatic problems.
