Google DeepMind CEO says AGI could arrive within years, calls for U.S. standards body
Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said artificial general intelligence could arrive within a few years and urged the United States to create an independent standards body to evaluate advanced AI models before release. He said AGI could have an impact comparable to discoveries such as electricity or fire and warned that safety risks are already emerging, with potential threats extending to biology, nuclear technology and national security. He proposed a FINRA-like model under government oversight with industry funding and independent experts.

SpaceX pushes to build 13-km gas pipeline to fuel Starship and boost launches
SpaceX is moving to build its own natural gas pipeline linking a fuel facility to its Texas launch base to supply fuel for its next-generation Starship vehicle. The plan involves a roughly 13-km pipeline called Starpipe, according to documents filed by an affiliate with the Texas Railroad Commission. Starship uses about 2.4 million litres of liquid methane per launch. The pipeline is designed to exceed fuel needs for the FAA-approved 25 annual launches.

Dario Amodei says AI regulation needs enforcement, transparency alone not enough
Dario Amodei (다리오 아모데이), CEO of Anthropic, said on June 10 that AI regulation should shift from transparency disclosures to binding, enforceable rules. In an essay, he wrote that AI risks have clearly become real and that transparency laws alone are no longer sufficient. He proposed an FAA-style model requiring third-party assessments of certain frontier AI systems, with governments able to block or revoke deployment based on results.
