White House Lets Private Firms Hack Cybercriminals—At Their Own Legal Risk

Silicon Valley elites are paying $75,000 annually to send their children to private AI schools as "guinea pigs."
According to Beating's monitoring, some wealthy Silicon Valley families in the United States are beginning to completely abandon the traditional "teacher lectures, students listen" classroom model for their children. In emerging private schools like Alpha School, children no longer stare at the blackboard; instead, they spend their days with tablets, where AI software tailors courses to each individual's learning progress. The human teachers in these schools have been relegated to "daily coaches," not lecturing, but only managing discipline or providing psychological support when children struggle. Students only need two hours a day to master core subjects like math and reading, leaving the rest of the time for projects in entrepreneurship workshops or sports. Another AI school, Forge Prep, goes even further, encouraging students to build portfolios by starting their own companies and developing products, replacing final grades. They've even launched an AI principal who can answer questions 24/7. However, this avant-garde experiment has also attracted considerable criticism. Parents paying $75,000 (approximately 540,000 RMB) annually to send their children to these schools are essentially using their children as free trial users for immature AI mentors. Faced with the current polarized public opinion, the founder of Alpha School simply avoided the trouble by publicly announcing that its curriculum would not include topics such as feminism, the history of slavery, and immigration. Schools like Forge Prep are even more secretive about their teaching data, making it impossible for outsiders to know whether AI-powered teaching is actually effective.
The White House plans to release new AI regulatory standards next week, retracting Trump's previous promise of "light regulation."
According to Beating's monitoring, the Trump administration's "light regulation" approach to AI is facing serious challenges. The Financial Times reports that the White House will release a set of voluntary standards for the release of cutting-edge AI models as early as next week. These standards aim to set benchmarks for models with top-tier cybersecurity capabilities and establish a release timeline to regulate future release processes. The Center for AI Standards and Innovation and the National Security Agency (NSA) will play key roles in standard setting and oversight. Last month, the Trump administration's direct intervention in two major AI labs triggered industry chaos and anger: Anthropic's latest model was subject to export controls on June 12 due to concerns about misuse and cybersecurity, and was only unbanned this Tuesday; OpenAI was required to release GPT-5.6 only to a government-selected population, with a wider release expected as early as next week; Google is also communicating with the government before releasing a new generation of coding models with stronger cybersecurity capabilities. Although Trump promised to ease regulations so that American companies could outperform their Chinese counterparts, the potential risks of new models exploiting security vulnerabilities and disrupting key industries are forcing the White House to accelerate the tightening of security measures.
The White House tightens AI regulations, potentially bringing development dividends to open-source models.
According to Odaily Odaily, as the White House continues to tighten AI-related regulations, open-source AI models are becoming a clear beneficiary. Several developers and corporate executives have stated that closed-source cutting-edge models, such as Anthropic Fable 5, face significant policy uncertainty, and many applications built on these models have suffered business disruptions due to model restrictions or shutdowns. As the stability and compliance risks of closed-source models increase simultaneously, a large number of developers are switching to open-source AI solutions to break free from dependence on a single vendor and reduce systemic operational risks. Industry analysis suggests that open-source models do not exhibit the characteristics of being controlled by a single entity, making them difficult to restrict directly through administrative means, thus continuously increasing their attractiveness in enterprise implementation and the developer ecosystem.

The White House transformed into a "trading floor"? The two major US stock exchanges will ring the opening bell in the Oval Office for the first time.
According to Odaily Odaily, White House National Economic Council Director Hassett stated that to celebrate the official launch of the "Trump Account" for minors, officials from Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange plan to jointly ring the opening bell in the Oval Office of the White House. Hassett stated, "Next week we will have a grand opening bell ceremony, where Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange will ring the bell together in the Oval Office for the first time. They are doing this to celebrate the official launch of the 'Trump Account' and to let everyone know that now is the time to open an account for their children, even if the child was not born this year." This tax-advantaged savings account, previously announced by Trump, will officially launch on July 4. All U.S. citizens born between 2025 and 2028—a period covering Trump's second presidential term—will receive an initial investment of $1,000 from the U.S. government. However, older children can also open and use these accounts. In addition, some eligible children may receive a $250 funding injection from Dell Technologies founder Michael Dell and his wife Susan. The White House has not yet immediately responded to requests for comment on these arrangements. Trump rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange in December 2024, before his second inauguration. (Jinshi)
