White House drops new AI framework (+ Amazon's bot move)
The White House just dropped a six-pillar federal framework to keep the U.S. on top of the AI race (bold move), while Amazon quietly made a major play in the humanoid robotics space with an acquisition that's got everyone talking. Meanwhile, DeepMind's new algorithm is making RLHF 10x more efficient, and Lucid Bots raised $20M to put window-washing drones on every skyscraper. Would you trust a robot to clean your windows at 50 stories up?
