    "text": "Winter is coming very, very slowly for fans of “A Song of Ice and Fire.” Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get unlimited access to ad-free articles and exclusive content. George R. R. Martin, author of the fantasy novel series that led to HBO’s wildly popular “Game of Thrones” television series, voiced his frustration this week about readers who think that the sixth book, “The Winds of Winter,” will not be completed. In a post on his official blog on Wednesday, Martin was originally announcing his involvement with an animated project unrelated to his hit fantasy franchise. But he then took a moment to address the skeptical fans of “A Song of Ice and Fire.” “I know, I know,” Martin wrote. “Some of you will just be pissed off by this, as you are by everything I announce here that is not about Westeros or THE WINDS OF WINTER. You have given up on me, or on the book.” “I will never finish WINDS,” Martin wrote.”If I do, I will never finish A DREAM OF SPRING,” referring to what would have been the series’ seventh book. “If I do, it won’t be any good,” he wrote, seemingly repeating accusations from critics. “I ought to get some other writer to pinch hit for me… I am going to die soon anyway, because I am so old. I lost all interest in A Song of Ice and Fire decades ago. I don’t give a s--- about writing any longer, I just sit around and spend my money.” Although he didn’t say when or if he would finish the next books in the series, he explained he does still care about the franchise and its characters. “The Starks and Lannisters and Targaryens, Tyrion and Asha, Dany and Daenerys, the dragons and the direwolves, I care about them all,” Martin wrote. “More than you can ever imagine.” But he said he also has a passion for the rest of his work that he believes his fans “don’t care about.” Martin mentioned a few short stories he wrote long before “A Game of Thrones,” such as “A Song for Lya” and “This Tower of Ashes,” in addition to compilations of short stories that he edited more recently, like the 2013 cross-genre anthology “Dangerous Women.” Martin said recently he signed on with Lion Forge Entertainment to adapt the late Howard Waldrop’s 1989 novella “A Dozen Tough Jobs” — his take on the Twelve Labors of Hercules — into an animated feature, news the author credited The Hollywood Reporter with breaking on May 21. “It saddens me that he did not live long enough to see the film; I hope we do him justice,” Martin wrote.

    "text": "Save Share It was an artificial intelligence summit with very real-world geopolitical messaging. Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday urged countries to cooperate on artificial intelligence and ensure no country dominates the technology – in an apparent jab at the United States. Xi spoke at a major tech conference in Shanghai on Friday, where China showcased cutting-edge technology that rivals the prowess of the US. Both countries are locked in a battle for tech and AI dominance and view each other’s advancements in these areas as deliberate attempts to stymie the other. As Chinese AI models gain ground globally, Beijing appears to be casting itself as a leader of the new global AI order, challenging the US’s influence in the development and regulation of the fast-evolving technology. At the heart of that strategy is a new coalition of 29 nations that China announced on Thursday, called the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organisation (WAICO), in a high-level event where attendees included United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. Here’s what we know: Xi, while speaking at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, called on countries to embrace the “historic opportunity” provided by open-source AI. He said that China has played a role in ensuring equitable access to AI capacity-building for developing countries to prevent the creation of “new historical injustices” and announced Beijing’s plans to continue cooperating with countries across Africa, Latin America and Asia. “AI development should not be a solo performance by a single country, but a symphony of international cooperation,” Xi said. “We should jointly oppose overstretching the national security concept in the field of AI or placing one country’s security over that of others.” Xi also stressed the need for a “people-centred” approach to AI that ensures that “AI is always under human control” using safeguards such as regulations, technological monitoring, early warning and emergency response systems. The inter-governmental organisation was formally formed on July 16, although Beijing has touted a global AI alliance since last year. Its stated goals are to promote international cooperation and develop AI regulation across countries that ensure the technology is beneficial and safe for humans. Headquartered in Shanghai, WAICO’s 29 member founding countries include several major Global South nations, including Indonesia, Brazil, Malaysia, South Africa, Senegal, Russia and Pakistan. Analysts speculate that Beijing will likely use the alliance to shape how AI policies are framed at the UN. AI is an important pillar of China’s industrial policy. Beijing has invested massively in building a self-sustained domestic ecosystem, from chip production to consumer use. That has spurred a “Chip War” with the US as both race to control the production of chip-based technology like advanced military weapons and AI-powered systems. While Beijing lags behind the US in ac"

    "text": "Commentary July 14, 2026 Geopolitics U.S. Foreign Policy Artificial Intelligence Technology Policy & Regulation Regulatory Policy China U.S. States and Territories Governance Studies Center for Technology Innovation (CTI) In the aftermath of the recent meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that China and the U.S. would “set up a protocol” regarding “best practices for AI to make sure nonstate actors don’t get a hold of these models.” On May 19, China’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun confirmed the two leaders agreed to conduct an “intergovernmental dialogue” on AI. This move, which Bessent called “wholesome discussions” on AI, is a significant outcome of the summit, despite the lack of attention. As we urged in a recent commentary, the Trump-Xi meeting was an opportunity to restart a government-to-government dialogue on AI risk reduction, and the two nations seized the chance. The Trump administration now has something to bring to the table with the signing of a new executive order establishing a framework for AI companies to work with the government in managing risks inherent in AI models, although the recent Mythos–Fable debacle is a setback to stable U.S. AI governance. Now the question is how to proceed with this dialogue. Former Biden administration official Chris McGuire, for instance, writes that a goal should include “agreements related to AI safety that would likely place some constraints on China’s development of AI” and “modest constraints on U.S. AI capabilities.” But this would be to approach the AI risk reduction dialogue as if it were a negotiation aiming for a mutual commitment, like an arms control deal, that would limit or regulate the development and deployment of AI models. Industry analyst Paul Triolo recognizes that the dialogue will not be about arms control, but he thinks it could set up a “crisis management mechanism” in which the two governments “define red lines around AI-enabled cyber operations, biosecurity, autonomous military escalation, model theft, and third-party/non-state actor use.” This too exceeds what can be reasonably hoped for in the next phase of these discussions. Much more modest expectations are in order. The dialogue framework should provide ongoing ties between specialized technical experts working in key government agencies in both countries, involving frequent interaction, structured dialogues, and regular meetings. The exchange should not be a negotiation where one side gives something up in return for the other side taking certain actions; rather, it should be a regular process of sharing information, ideas, plans, and research in the area of AI model risk assessment and mitigation. Red lines and release restrictions might be part of the dialogue eventually, but only after a gradual process of confidence-building restores a minimum level of trust between the parties. If the parties want to pursue international regulatory cooper"
