Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called for a global slowdown on artificial intelligence development during a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the United Nations. Albanese expressed hope that nations could agree on measures to regulate AI, emphasizing the need for international cooperation to address potential risks. The discussion took place amid growing concerns over the ethical and security implications of rapid AI advancement.

The conversation highlights the diverging approaches between Australia and the US on technology governance.
