California Governor Gavin Newsom has just signed SB 53 into law, the first legislation in the U.S. to require major AI labs to be transparent about their safety and security protocols, especially in preventing models from being exploited for cyberattacks or creating bioweapons. The law grants the California Office of Emergency Services (OES) the authority to oversee and compel companies to adhere to their published safety procedures. Violations could lead to administrative penalties or the revocation of their license to operate AI. Adam Billen, Vice President of Public Policy at Encode AI, called it a breakthrough that balances innovation and safety,proving that “regulation doesn’t necessarily stifle…

📌 Summary: Jobs for new graduates in the U.S. are disappearing: hiring is down 23% compared to 2020, and youth unemployment for graduates is at 9.3%. In this context, 53% of skilled Gen Z have chosen freelancing, turning it into a new career launchpad. Freelancing not only generates income but also hones pitching, negotiation, management, and AI skills—key competencies for surviving and leading in the future economy. 61% of Gen Z freelancers are self-learning generative AI tools, far surpassing the 41% of full-time employees, demonstrating their proactive adaptation to new technology.

📌 Summary: With its new SINQ quantization method, Huawei is democratizing the ability to run LLMs on common hardware, saving 60–70% on memory and reducing GPU costs by up to three times. This open-source, fast, easy-to-use, and calibration-free solution could become a new standard in AI quantization, expanding opportunities for both individuals and small businesses to deploy LLMs.

📌 Summary: Singapore’s AI vision focuses on “AI serves, humans lead.” The government is promoting the training of “bilingual practitioners” who are fluent in both AI and their professional domains. Minister Lau urged civil servants to “roll up their sleeves,” experience AI directly, and take mandatory AI courses. She warned of the risk of AI becoming a “digital opium,” causing humans to lose initiative and judgment, emphasizing: “AI helps, but let’s not lose our humanity as we rely more on technology.”

📌 Summary: OpenAI and Japan’s Digital Agency have announced a strategic partnership to pilot and deploy generative AI in public services. This collaboration marks a significant step forward, introducing the “Gennai” tool to support government employees, while the Hiroshima AI Process framework extends beyond the G7 to promote global AI governance. With plans to achieve ISMAP (Information system Security Management and Assessment Program) certification and a commitment to transparency, OpenAI aims to develop safe, reliable, and internationally-aligned public AI.

📌 The WTO’s 2025 World Trade Report forecasts that AI could raise the value of global trade in goods and services by 34–37% by 2040, while global GDP may grow by 12–13%. However, inequality risks remain high without inclusive policies. AI is expected to boost exports from poorer countries by 11%, but investments in digital infrastructure and workforce training are needed. The WTO calls for lowering chip tariffs and setting clear trade rules to ensure globally shared benefits.
