Trump to attend AI and energy summit in Pittsburgh
U.S. President Donald Trump and executives from the tech and energy sectors will appear at an artificial intelligence and energy summit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on July 15, the office of the state's U.S. Senator Dave McCormick said on Thursday. McCormick's inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit will be held at Carnegie Mellon University, his office said in a statement. Axios reported that tech executives like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai were on the summit's guest list. Exxon Mobil CEO Darren Woods, Shell CEO Wael Sawan and Chevron CEO Mike Wirth were also on that list, according to Axios. White House AI czar David Sacks, who is also expected to attend the summit, expressed concern earlier this week that regulating U.S. AI too tightly could stifle growth and cede the critical market to China. The comments indicated the Republican president's approach to AI could be centered on expanding markets abroad for U.S. AI chips and models. Democratic former President Joe Biden had emphasized policies that countered risks the chips could be diverted to China and used to bolster Beijing's military. A group of 40 state attorneys general, including Republicans from Ohio, Tennessee, Arkansas, Utah and Virginia and other states, have pushed back against Republican attempts to block states from regulating AI, saying states should develop and enforce common-sense regulation to protect consumers.

Asian stocks slide, oil and gold jump after Israel strikes Iran
Stocks dived in early Asian trade on Friday, led by a selloff in U.S. futures, while oil prices jumped after Israel conducted a military strike on Iran, sending investors scurrying to safe havens such as gold and the Swiss franc. ADVERTISEMENT The Israeli attack raises the risk of a fresh escalation in tensions in the Middle East, a major oil producing region, and comes at a time of heightened pressure on the global economy and financial markets from U.S. President Donald Trump's shakeup of trade policies. Market reaction was swift, with U.S. S&P E-mini futures slumping 1.5% as of 0055 GMT and Nasdaq futures skidding 1.7%. Japan's Nikkei lost 1.4% and South Korea's KOSPI slipped 1.2%.Brent crude jumped more than 6% to $73.56 per barrel. Gold climbed 1% to about $3,419 per said it was declaring a state of emergency in anticipation of a missile and drone strike by Tehran, after what it called a "preemptive strike" over Iran's nuclear programme. ADVERTISEMENT Explosions were heard northeast of Iran's capital Tehran early on Friday, the state-run Nour News U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said Israel had begun carrying out strikes on Iran and there was no U.S. assistance or involvement in the operation. CNN reported that Trump was convening a cabinet meeting. ADVERTISEMENT "Traders are scurrying for safety as reports of a strike on Iran cross the wires," said Karl Schamotta, chief market strategist at Corpay in Toronto."But details on the scale and magnitude of the attack remain scarce and moves have been relatively limited thus far." ADVERTISEMENT Tensions had been building as Trump's efforts to reach a nuclear deal with Iran appear to be deadlocked. U.S. and Iranian officials were scheduled to hold a sixth round of talks on Tehran's escalating uranium enrichment programme in Oman on Sunday, according to officials from both countries and their Omani Swiss franc gained about 0.4% to 0.8072 per U.S. dollar, and fellow safe haven the yen appreciated 0.3% to 143.06 per dollar.

Best of BS Opinion: Playing by instinct when the board is barely visible
It starts like a harmless game. Ludo on the floor, dice in hand, but the lights go out. You keep playing anyway, guessing your way forward, mistaking red for green, rolling sixes that don't save you, and sliding into traps you never saw coming. That's what global decision-making looks like currently: leaders and investors tossing dice in the dark, banking on instinct, memory, or bravado. No rulebook, no clarity. Just blind moves on a colourful board smeared by shadows. Let's dive in. Take Donald Trump's latest signal. He's willing to extend the July 9 trade deadline. But as our first editorial points out, that's not clarity, it's a dim torch in a fogged-up tent. Only the UK has reached a finalised deal. The US-China 'provisional' pact is laced with tariffs. Even the OECD's dim outlook shows that even with extended time on the clock, the players barely know where they're headed. Other nations, watching from the sidelines, now fear a post-deal spike in tariffs. The board's reset, but the fog remains. Meanwhile, silver is streaking ahead like a lucky pawn. With prices up 25 per cent this year after a 21 per cent jump in 2024, and Indian silver ETF assets surging 125 per cent, precious metals are gleaming in the dark. But as our second editorial cautions, even the brightest path can be a trap. The gold-silver ratio has crossed 90, far above its historic average, suggesting silver may be overvalued. Diversification, not dazzlement, is the safer move. T T Ram Mohan sees a more systemic risk hiding off the board. While everyone watches central banks, the real danger may be creeping through the Non-Bank Financial Institutions with hedge funds and private credit pools swelling with risk. US banks' exposure to these entities has tripled since 2010, and while post-2008 regulations offer some buffer, recent rollbacks of Basel III norms threaten to snap those threads. In a different arena of chaos, Ajay Kumar traces how information wars now run on stories, not stats. Operation Sindoor proves that falsehoods told with emotion sprint ahead of truth wrapped in spreadsheets. Misinformation thrives in echo chambers, while official fact-checkers, constrained by dull 'true/false' binaries, fall behind. In a game where the loudest lie wins, truth must learn to shout back in verse, not bullet points. And Neha Kirpal brings us a review of R.D. Karve: The Champion of Individual Liberty by Anant Deshmukh, a story of someone who rolled the dice when no one else dared. Karve was a sexologist, reformer, and rebel who talked about birth control and autonomy in 1920s India. His nudity-laced magazine Samaj Swasthya fought shame with science, facing bans and trials. Karve was ridiculed, but never silenced. Stay tuned!
