Speaking to reporters at his golf resort in Doonbeg, Ireland, the US president said warnings about artificial intelligence becoming uncontrollable had been exaggerated. “We’re leading China in AI, we’re the most sophisticated country in the world, and frankly, I want to keep it that way because whoever wins AI, wins,” Mr Trump said. He added that safeguards could be introduced but accused unspecified “negative forces” of…

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation has proposed cutting Australia’s temporary migrant population by about 750,000 over three years, with international students and graduate visa holders among those targeted by the immigration crackdown.

That would be significantly below the Labor government’s forecast of 245,000 net overseas arrivals in the current financial year and 225,000 a year thereafter. One Nation says the temporary migrant population has grown from just over two million when Labor came to power in 2022 to roughly…
