AP Exclusive: Nvidia’s Jensen Huang says society needs ‘new social norms’ in the age of AI

SHERMAN, Texas (AP) — Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang — whose work helped propel artificial intelligence — is stressing in an Associated Press interview that society has no choice but to change in the advent of AI. Huang has been optimistic about the technology's potential to rapidly change society, creating faster economic growth and more scientific breakthroughs. But as the head of a computer chip company now developing AI systems, Huang has felt obligated to respond to critics who warn of job losses and threats to humanity itself. “We need to create new social norms,†Huang said in an interview Tuesday. “I would advocate that everybody use AI. Just go engage it.â€

Iran says the deal to end the war with the US requires Israel to withdraw from Lebanon

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran's top diplomat says the tentative deal to end the war with the United States would require Israel to withdraw from Lebanon — a condition Israel has already rejected and that could sink the agreement. The deal between the U.S. and Iran has not been made public, and officials have sometimes offered contradictory interpretations of what is in it. While Israel is not party to the agreement, it is part of the war after joining the U.S. in launching strikes on Iran on Feb. 28. Israel has also fought the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon and seized large swaths of that country.

White House talking points claim victories in initial Iran deal but often don’t meet reality

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House has informed supporters that President Donald Trump has accomplished his goals in the war with Iran despite the details of an initial agreement remaining unclear. In a series of talking points sent to Trump supporters and Republican members of Congress this week, the White House proclaimed major victories, including Iran never having a nuclear weapon, the crucial Strait of Hormuz reopening and fighting in Lebanon ending. But the talking points go against some of the realities on the ground and the tentative deal is still secret. That’s led to confusion, concern and skepticism among all but the most hard-core Trump supporters.

Trump ramps up Education Department’s dismantling with changes on special education and civil rights

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's administration is further dismantling the Department of Education, moving oversight of special education and civil rights to other agencies. The Department of Justice will take on enforcement of civil rights in education, while the Department of Health and Human Services will oversee special education. Trump's Republican administration made the announcement on Tuesday. The Department of Justice also will take over work protecting student privacy and will provide some training and advisory help to schools. Trump campaigned on shutting down the Education Department and moving education “back to the states,†but only Congress can close the department.

Authorities say they’ve disrupted planned drone, gun attack on White House UFC cage-fighting show

WASHINGTON (AP) — Court papers say law enforcement officials disrupted a planned attack targeting the UFC cage-fighting show staged at the White House this past weekend. Papers unsealed Tuesday say plotters spoke of flying explosives-laden drones and shooting panicked crowd members as they fled. The documents reveal the FBI obtained encrypted text messages showing roughly 20 people sharing detailed maps of the area and discussing the need for a “safe house†and escape routes after the attack. It’s unclear from court records how close the would-be attackers came to being able to carry out their plan, which was thwarted last week. The FBI says among those arrested was a 19-year-old Ohio man.

The Latest: Primary elections in Alabama, Oklahoma and Georgia further test Trump's influence

An endorsement from President Donald Trump is worth a lot in Republican primaries. But is it worth more than $100 million in Georgia? Can it propel a congressman past an insurgent outsider in Alabama? Can it transform a candidate into a front-runner in Oklahoma? Trump has been at the center of this year's midterm campaigns, and his influence will be tested in different ways Tuesday as four states and the District of Columbia hold primaries. Among Democrats, the primaries will hinge on longstanding divides between progressives and moderates as the party tries to chart the best path forward to November.

Trump signals swift return of sanctions on Russian oil as G7 refocuses on Ukraine

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) — President Donald Trump and G7 leaders are focusing on the Ukraine war and Trump is considering reimposing sanctions soon on Russian oil shipments. Tuesday’s comment comes after the announcement of a deal to end the Gulf conflict, which is expected to allow more oil to move through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump also expressed his openness to sending the deal to Congress for review. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy joined the G7 talks and urged increased pressure on Russia. Ukraine has started EU membership negotiations, seeking security guarantees. The U.K. meanwhile has announced new sanctions targeting Russia's “shadow fleet.â€

Federal prosecutors charge 15 people with impeding agents during Minnesota immigration crackdown

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Federal prosecutors have charged 15 people with impeding federal agents during a massive immigration surge in Minnesota earlier this year. The defendants allegedly used tactics like stalking agents and using ice blocks to slow convoys. Minnesota U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen said the operation targeted Minneapolis-based antifa groups. President Trump had previously directed authorities to target antifa, which he labeled a domestic terror group. The charges follow “Operation Metro Surge,” which brought thousands of agents to the Twin Cities, sparking protests and leading to the fatal shooting of two citizens. Names and specific charges were not immediately available.

B-52 on test flight was airborne for over 3 minutes before crashing, killing 8

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A flight tracking website shows that the B-52 that crashed during a test flight at an Air Force base in California was airborne for just over three minutes. Limited tracking data shows it plunged to the ground at a rate nearly 10 times faster than a plane normally descends for landing. All eight people aboard were killed in Monday's fiery crash of the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. It was taking part in a routine test mission as part of an overall program to keep the long-running aircraft flying for decades to come. Officials at Edwards Air Force Base said it could take up to six months to complete the investigation into the cause of the crash.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has visited Haiti, where surging gang violence has left more than 1 in 10 people homeless.
