BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

The representatives of seven major tech companies, namely Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI, met with President Joe Biden at the White House on Friday, where they pledged to commit to a series of guardrails aimed at regulating the development of artificial intelligence. 

This comes amid an increased sense of concern over the pace at which AI technologies have been developing as of late. 

The seven AI giants committed to a series of safeguards that would "underscore three principles that must be fundamental to the future of AI: safety, security, and trust," a White House statement reads.  

Tech giants agreed to develop "robust technical mechanisms," such as watermarking systems so that users can identify AI- and not human-generated content.

Amid growing concerns for risk pertaining to biosecurity, cybersecurity, and "broader societal effects," they also agreed to independent "internal and external security testing of their AI systems before their release."

According to White House officials, Biden is reportedly working on an executive order pertaining solely to AI safety.

"We need to make sure we're pulling every lever of the federal government to regulate and take action -- and work with... (Congress) on legislation," White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients told Axios.  

"We will need legislation to build the capacity to have the experts that we need in the federal government, and then to have the regulatory authority to hold the private sector accountable -- and to hardwire these actions so that they're enduring," Zients said.  

The US is also planning to collaborate with foreign allies on building "a strong international framework to govern the development and use of AI."
