Obama Rarely Intervenes in the AI Regulation Debate, Urging the U.S. to Pass Proactive Legislation to Avoid “Potential Catastrophe”
Former U.S. President Barack Obama said he supports the creation of federal laws and regulations to establish standards for AI safety, warning that if mishandled, the technology could lead to a “potential catastrophe.” In a statement Monday, Obama said AI policy “should be at the center of public debate,” adding that policymakers in Washington must “take proactive action,” develop relevant plans “to address serious safety concerns, anticipate the impact of AI on jobs and the next generation, and ensure that the benefits brought by AI are broadly shared.”
The former president criticized the approach to AI regulation advocated by President Donald Trump, saying it is one of laissez-faire. While he did not name his successor directly, he said that “voluntary standards set by a handful of technology companies are not enough.”
An executive order signed by Trump in June this year created a voluntary participation framework that allows AI developers to share frontier models with the government in advance so potential safety risks can be assessed.
Obama said: “Given what we know about technology, we can’t put AI back in the box. But we can decide together how it should be developed, how it should be used—not sit back and let AI and its consequences come crashing down on us.”
Obama’s rare public comments are his deepest remarks to date on AI. As leading figures in the industry and members of Congress have increasingly called for slowing the development of frontier models, AI has become a core issue in national discussions in the United States.
With a lack of clear leadership figures within the Democratic Party, many Democrats are still seeking Obama’s advice and guidance on policy and political strategy. By stepping into this debate, Obama is attempting to position the Democrats as the party that supports strengthening AI safety measures, in preparation for the midterm elections in November and the start of the 2028 presidential election cycle.
Major news: OpenAI confirms it won’t go public this year! Why did Sam Altman suddenly hit the brakes?
According to the latest reports, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, in an interview, clearly stated that OpenAI will not pursue an initial public offering (IPO) in 2026. At a time when the AI boom is at its peak, this decision has drawn intense attention from the market. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) 📰 Key information at a glance: “Not a wise move to go public now”: Altman said that, given the events currently unfolding around AI safety, choosing to list publicly would be “ill-advised.” He said the company is currently under no pressure to move into the public market.
Now on the BNB Chain, it’s no longer just about pumping coins. Over 700 types of tokenized stocks and ETFs have come on board, and traditional assets like Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla are also starting to push onto the chain. Before, sis would watch the US stock market in the daytime and charts at night. From now on, one chain—everything arranged for me 😂 Such excitement needs a red envelope.

🧧🔥🧧🔥🧧🔥 The recent market action is genuinely a back-and-forth probing. Here are 3 supporting indicators to help you verify a true breakout: Spot CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta): Check whether the breakout is driven by spot active buying or by leveraged futures. If spot CVD and the contract price both make new highs at the same time, the odds of a real breakout are extremely high. If only the contracts pump while spot CVD stays flat, it’s often a false breakout. SR-Flip (Resistance-to-Support confirmation): After a breakout, wait for the first pullback on the 5M/15M timeframe. If, when price retests the prior high resistance zone, it shows reduced volume and does not break down, it confirms that resistance has successfully flipped into support—an excellent right-side entry point with relatively low risk. Liquidation Heatmap: If a large short liquidation pool (Liquidation Pool) has accumulated above key highs, then after price pierces through that area, if OI drops sharply, it indicates the liquidation has been completed and short-term momentum has largely been exhausted.

$BTC #比特币涨1.64%突破78000美元 Just surged above 780,000 USD; over on Trump’s side, they also reached a compromise in negotiations on the conflict-of-interest provisions in the CLARITY Act. This round of volatility in the crypto market has completely broken many people’s mindset. Actually, you don’t need to look at those complicated call-outs and analyses—the truth is only two things: First, the underlying logic of the bill negotiations is that the U.S. is redefining the jurisdiction boundaries between the SEC and the CFTC. Once jurisdiction is put in place, the biggest concern for compliance-driven capital to enter the market is cut off. Second, price pumping higher doesn’t mean the risk has disappeared. During the period of policy games, every fluctuation is essentially big money using regulatory expectation gaps to reshuffle liquidity. At moments like this, don’t let yourself be led around by short-term K-line charts. Pay attention to the final bill’s specific amendments regarding stablecoin yield and developer-related provisions—it's far more important than blindly chasing higher prices. The clear line toward compliance has already been drawn; the real show is only just beginning. Where will $BTC ’s next move be—leave a comment and save it for the record. Time will tell everything.
