The White House has launched a Super Intelligence Force led by Jay Clayton, former SEC chair, to operationalize the White House Accord on Super Intelligence. Six companies — Anthropic, Google, Meta, Nvidia, OpenAI, and SpaceXAI — have committed to independent safety evaluations under the accord. The task force is tasked with avoiding five strategic traps around safety standards, legitimacy, incident response, open-weight AI security, and competition with China. A self-regulatory organization may be established to set safety specifications and incident-response protocols.
Senator Maria Cantwell has proposed a complementary AI governance framework built on six principles. Her plan calls for federal safety standards developed by NIST, independent audits before model releases, and continuous testing with oversight. The framework emphasizes transparency, child protections, public-private partnerships, and global cooperation, with particular focus on catastrophic risks such as AI-enabled cyberattacks and loss of human control.
Meanwhile, Malaysia is investing in AI workforce development through a new initiative. The Ministry of Digital is providing 100,000 Coursera licenses via the Rakyat Digital portal, giving learners access to over 16,000 courses including Google's AI Fundamentals. The program supports the National AI Action Plan 2026-2030 and has already seen strong early participation, with 12,900 learners enrolling in 43,000 courses within three weeks.
On the security front, experts are raising concerns about AI-related vulnerabilities across multiple sectors. Professor Hwang Seok-jin from Dongguk University warns that AI tools used in cyberattacks on South Korean financial institutions can exploit weak API points in crypto exchanges, urging platforms to separate read-only, analysis, order, and withdrawal functions with strict limits. A separate report highlights that many workers routinely paste sensitive data like passwords and client names into AI writing tools without considering the risks.
In the hardware and investment space, Cerebras Systems reported 74.3% revenue growth and a $7.5 billion cash position ahead of its November IPO lock-up expiration. Marvell Technology significantly raised its long-term revenue targets through fiscal 2028 and 2031, reflecting heavier exposure to AI data center chips and custom silicon. Cathie Wood also urged investors to pay closer attention to AI agents as a key area of future growth.
Dutch company Intelic is applying AI to military defense, testing its Nexus system at a disused airbase near the North Sea. The system uses multiple radars, sensors, and cameras to identify incoming projectiles, with reconnaissance drones verifying targets via image recognition. Intelic holds a €30-million contract with the Dutch Defence Ministry and is providing the technology to Ukraine to help defend against Russian attacks.
Researchers have also uncovered gaps in how AI handles ordered text information. A study introducing the CANOPE framework found that geometric regularity alone does not guarantee recoverable sequential content, with significant performance differences observed across 40,000 validation sequences and 3,930 LJSpeech utterances. In the banking sector, a F5 Networks webinar will address securing agentic AI, noting that 85% of U.S. and Canadian banking professionals already use some form of AI.

Five Ways to Make the White House AI Task Force a Success
The White House launched a new AI task force led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton. Six AI companies including Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI agreed to safety commitments under the White House Accord on Super Intelligence. The task force must avoid five traps around safety standards, legitimacy, incident response, open-weight safety, and competition with China. A self-regulatory organization may be created to set safety specifications and incident-response standards. Federal guidance would be voluntary but assess national security risks.
Senator Cantwell Proposes AI Governance Framework
Senator Maria Cantwell outlined a comprehensive AI governance framework built on six principles. The plan calls for clear federal safety standards developed by NIST and independent audits before models are released. It emphasizes transparency, public-private partnerships, child protections, and global cooperation. Standards must address catastrophic risks like AI-enabled cyberattacks and loss of human control. Continuous testing and independent oversight are central to the framework.
CFR Outlines Priorities for White House AI Task Force
The White House launched the Super Intelligence Force to operationalize the White House Accord on Super Intelligence. Six companies including Anthropic, Google, Meta, Nvidia, OpenAI, and SpaceXAI committed to independent safety evaluations. Jay Clayton, former SEC chair, oversees the task force and may allow an AI self-regulatory organization. CFR analyst Vinh Nguyen identifies five strategic traps including standard-setting authority and China competition. Open-weight AI security concerns are also highlighted.
Malaysia Offers Coursera AI Courses to 100,000 Learners
Malaysia's Ministry of Digital will provide 100,000 Coursera licenses through the Rakyat Digital portal. The program supports the AI Nation 2030 initiative and the Malaysia Digital 2030 Action Plan. Learners can access over 16,000 courses including Google's AI Fundamentals. Early results show 12,900 learners enrolling in 43,000 courses within three weeks. A custom course on Understanding Digital Transformation proved most popular.
Malaysia Provides 100,000 Coursera Licenses for AI Learning
MyDigital Corporation is offering 100,000 learning licenses through the Rakyat Digital portal. Malaysians with a MyDigital ID can access over 16,000 courses in AI, data science, and digital literacy. The program runs for three months and aligns with the National AI Action Plan 2026-2030. Popular courses include Understanding Digital Transformation and Google's AI Fundamentals. Secretary-General Datuk Fabian Bigar emphasized building a future-ready workforce.
Secure your AI content workflow with these best practices
Many workers paste sensitive information into AI writing tools without thinking about where that data goes. You should avoid putting passwords, client names, unreleased product details and financial data into prompts. Use placeholders and anonymized versions instead. Enable two-factor authentication, use unique passwords and keep accounts separate to reduce risk. Always check third-party files for hidden instructions before uploading them.
AI trading growth makes API security critical for crypto exchanges
Professor Hwang Seok-jin from Dongguk University says AI tools used in cyberattacks on South Korean financial institutions can exploit weak points in existing systems. He urges crypto exchanges to carefully manage API permissions as AI-driven trading services expand. Read-only access, analysis, order placement and withdrawals should each be separated with limited functions. Exchanges should also set order limits and use kill switches to stop abnormal trading activity.
Study reveals gaps in AI text representation understanding
Researchers studied whether AI text representations keep ordered information from their input. They found that geometric regularity alone does not guarantee recoverable sequential content or effective downstream use. The study introduces CANOPE, a nonautoregressive framework with ordered latent canvases and geometric regularization. Results showed significant differences in performance between two approaches on 40,000 validation sequences and 3,930 LJSpeech utterances.
Dutch company uses AI to help drones on Ukraine battlefield
Intelic, a Dutch software company, tested its AI-powered Nexus system at a disused airbase near the North Sea.
