New York City weighs an AI off switch and whistleblower payouts as ex-AI lab researchers testify
President Trump’s new superintelligence task force has a report due in 120 days, with a goal of keeping the US in the lead without overregulating AI. Meanwhile, the New York City Council is holding a hearing with testimony from former researchers at Anthropic, Google DeepMind and OpenAI. Yahoo Finance Host Julie Hyman, Breaking Business News Reporter Jake Conley and Senior Autos Reporter Pras Subramanian break down three proposals on the table: third-party validation and a human-operated off switch for AI models, a right to sue developers for foreseeable harm, and cash rewards for AI whistleblowers. Plus whether a city rule could become national AI policy.
