0:00Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Linda Kenyon. President Trump says very negative forces are raising exaggerated concerns about the dangers of artificial intelligence. As NPR's Franco-Ordone-Yas reports, the president says the U.S. needs to stay focused on winning the AI race. President Trump dismissed growing concerns of AI, charging that people are making up scenarios that will never happen. He argued that the real threat is falling behind. We're leading China in AI. We're most sophisticated country in the world. And frankly, I want to keep it that way, because whoever wins AI wins. Trump was asked about calls from our guardrails and a slowdown of industry advancements while he was attending the Irish Open at his golf club on the coast of Ireland. It's not just critics, but even some industry leaders who are calling for stronger regulation around the industry, as concerns grow about the advanced technology being misused.

The comments follow renewed U.S. mediation efforts and weekend fighting that left at least 11 people dead. And P.R.O.'s Charles Mayn's reports from Moscow. With Ukraine's air defenses largely depleted, Russia has carried out near daily drone and missile attacks on civilian energy and shipping infrastructure across the country.

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has called the attacks and attempt to break Ukraine's resistance. Yet Kiev is also a targeted Russian civilian infrastructure and a bid to bring the war home to Russians. In the latest, Ukrainian drones struck an apartment building in the Republic of Tarnistan and targeted an oil facility in the Krasnodar region, part of a pattern of attacks that have caused fuel shortages throughout the summer.

2:04Says he and the pilot of a small aircraft sustained only minor injuries after they had to make an emergency landing yesterday into a lake. The two then swam to safety. Marie Gladden with the Marathon County Sheriff's Office described what happened. Initial information leads us to believe that there was some sort of mechanical failure with the aircraft and as they were coming into land, the pilot made the decision to land the plane in the lake because they weren't going to be able to make it to the runway. The plane was preparing to land at Walsh on Downtown Airport when it had to make the emergency landing into the lake. As it entrums, he will remove a 10 percent tariff on Irish whiskey.
