US President Trump posted on social media saying warnings that AI will kill or attack people are alarmist and likened them to past climate alarmism. He declared Whoever wins AI wins and said he will not "kill" AI development over such concerns, arguing AI will have greater impact than the Industrial Revolution or the internet. He said the administration will be cautious and rely on the Justice Department and other law enforcement to constrain AI where necessary, but otherwise will encourage AI, including superintelligence (SI).

Moody's Analytics said in a report Australia's unemployment rate is likely to tick up to 4.6% in August from 4.5% in July.
