United Nations urges AI firms to disclose environmental costs by 2030

To put their language on the AI map, the people of one tribal district are finding that saving Bhili means saving the culture it holds. As India races to reach millions by voice, Nandurbar’s struggle is the test case everyone else will learn from.

OpenAI has launched a program with cybersecurity firm Trail of Bits to use AI to find and fix vulnerabilities in widely used open-source software, as enterprises face growing risks from flaws buried deep in their software supply chains. The initiative, called Patch the Planet, uses AI-assisted vulnerability research alongside human review to help turn security findings into tested fixes that can be disclosed through existing project channels. Initial participants include Python, Go, cURL, Sigstore, NATS Server, aiohttp, freenginx, pyca/cryptography, and python.org. These projects support software development, networking, cryptography, and supply chain infrastructure used across a wide range of enterprise applications and services. OpenAI said each engagement will begin with consultation with maintainers to identify where security support is most needed. Researchers will then investigate potential vulnerabilities, validate meaningful issues, develop or refine patches, support testing, a

Independent senator says Anthony Albanese is preparing to announce an AI copyright plan in July Independent David Pocock has challenged the Albanese government to rule out letting technology giants use Australian content to train AI models, as cabinet considers proposals to change copyright rules for the rapidly developing technology. Pocock used Senate question time on Tuesday to ask the government about intense lobbying from AI proprietors over possible new rules and regulations for Australian-made content – including suggestions Labor would create a new “carve out” or extend existing licensing arrangements.

The European Commission’s latest push to reduce dependence on foreign technology providers is not surprising. If Europe believes that critical digital services could be disrupted by foreign governments, foreign legal systems, or foreign-owned providers, it will, of course, respond. That concern is now being expressed in the language of “kill switch” risk, meaning the fear that the cloud, AI, or semiconductor services that Europe depends on could be interrupted or constrained by forces beyond its control. At a high level, that concern is valid. Europe is right to worry about strategic dependence. If critical public services, regulated workloads, or national-interest systems rely on infrastructure controlled elsewhere, sovereignty becomes more than a policy slogan. It becomes an architectural issue. However, I am skeptical of the leap from identifying the problem to assuming that a policy response will produce a cleaner, safer, or even more sovereign market. There is a good chance it may
