This week saw big steps and debates about AI safety and ethics around the world. Tech leaders said expanding AI is their top goal, but they worry about data privacy, biases, and ethical risks in AI systems. In Ecuador, the government adopted the first AI ethics code for public institutions, following UNESCO guidelines. Meanwhile in the United States, a new bill called 'One Big Beautiful Bill' might stop states from making AI safety rules for 10 years. Experts also warned that AI can be a black box where decisions are hard to understand, leading to unfair treatment and security problems.
