Update: President Joe Biden signed an executive order on AI, billing the U.S. as out front of other countries when it comes to establishing guardrails around the fast-emerging technology.
But Biden told those gathered in the East Room that other steps will require congressional action. That will be a much more complicated process, as lawmakers have been in a stalemate for years when it comes to any meaningful action on tech giants.
Speaking to reporters after the White House ceremony, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-ny) said that his effort to craft a bill. “This is about the hardest thing I have attempted to undertake legislatively because a) it is so complicated, and b) it affects every aspect of society.” Schumer said that he and the rest of a bipartisan group of lawmakers will meet with Biden on Tuesday to talk about the legislation.

How do you deal with a world where finger-pointing, bureaucracy, mob actions and a lack of initiative stall progress? That was the running theme of Friday’s Real Time on HBO, as a downbeat Bill Maher took on a world that was clearly vexing him greatly.
The show started out with an appearance by former Democratic Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo and his former Chief of Staff, Melissa DeRosa, author of What’s Left Unsaid: My Life at the Center of Power, Politics and Crisis.
Cuomo was forced to resign his post because of sexual harassment allegations. But there’s apparently more to the story than the accusations, and DeRosa and Cuomo blamed the New York Times and the lemming-like approach of the media in sloppily telling the story for Cuomo’s fall from grace.
Maher – who said he didn’t want to carry water for the two – did...

Kasie Hunt left a fast-track career at NBC News in 2021 to dip her toes into digital waters at CNN. Two years later, she’s just starting to find out whether she might sink or swim.
On Wednesday, Hunt will launch “State of the Race,” a new hour-long weekday show for CNN’s international service focused on U.S. politics and the 2024 election. “It won’t be any less sophisticated than what my most specific viewers in Washington are hearing, the ones who are my sources,” she says. Expect to hear from people who know how political campaigns work and why candidates make the decisions they do. Could the program show up for U.S. audiences on CNN Max, the new live-streaming service set to debut the same day? .There is a strong expectation within CNN that the new product will feature several hours of Cnni. “That question is above my pay grade,...

Never Give A Sucker An Even Break was a 1941 movie from W.C. Fields. But it could have been the theme to Bill Maher’s Real Time on Friday night.
From Donald Trump’s latest foibles, through TikTok’s right to exist in the US, to the growing lost generation of young men, Maher and his guests tried to make sense of a world that seems to be flailing in its battle to find solutions.
Ultimately, Maher turned his guns on nepo babies, the children of the famous who feel they’ve hit a triple when they’re born on third base.
Maher’s New Rules editorial focused on the long string of Hollywood stars that got a leg up thanks to their connections, starting with Douglas Fairbanks Jr. “It doesn’t make them bad people or untalented,” Maher said. “But let’s also admit they weren’t the only...

Yes, there is going to be some CNN in CNN Plus.
After focusing largely on new talent for the soon-to-launch streaming-video service, WarnerMedia’s CNN is turning some attention to new programming from current staff. CNN has captured attention in recent weeks for unveiling new shows led by people such as Scott Galloway, Chris Wallace, Eva Longoria, Audie Cornish and Alison Roman. Aside from a parenting series led by Anderson Cooper, however, news about new programming from the CNN staffers familiar to viewers has been kept under guard.
Kate Bolduan, who anchors a late-morning hour on the WarnerMedia-backed outlet’s linear cable network, will also lead “Five Things,” s daily morning show that is an extension of a popular newsletter and podcaster. Bolduan will count down five essential stories viewers need to know to start their day. Meanwhile, Sara Sidner, a CNN senior national correspondent, will host “The Big Picture,...

There are fresh stories to be told and new ways to tell them,” said Cornish, who was a co-host of NPR’s popular “All Things Considered,” in a prepared statement. “CNN has a dynamic system of reporters and storytelling channels. I am thrilled to be a part of it.” She is expected to start in February.

Anderson Cooper, the longtime anchor who leads off CNN’s primetime schedule each weeknight, will expand his hosting duties with a new show, “Parental Guidance” on CNN Plus, the streaming-video hub expected to debut in the first quarter of 2022. Cooper will also continue to host “Full Circle,” which will move to the streaming service in 2022.
Cooper will add to the options already announced for the new venue, which aims to lure news aficionados and CNN “superfans” to a new broadband subscription product. CNN has already announced series led by Chris Wallace, Eva Longoria, Kasie Hunt, Scott Galloway and Poppy Harlow.
CNN’s interest in streaming in the past came mainly in ancillary businesses, like Great Big Story, a site devoted to short-form documentaries, and a project with YouTube influencer Casey Neistat. CNN Plus, however, will rely on the news outlet’s full resources and brand, entering a field already crowded by rivals and upstarts.

CNN’s coming foray into the streaming wars will send the network searching for customers in both regular haunts and surprising places.
The WarnerMedia cable-news outlet typically runs a significant chunk of promotions for its programming on its own air and in other venues owned by its parent company. On Friday, it’s airing an initial ad to entice loyal viewers to consider CNN Plus, its new video-streaming service slated to launch in 2022. In weeks to come, however, CNN Plus ads will show up in movie theaters, on ad-supported streaming outlets, on billboards and print pages and in the primetime schedules of networks owned by other companies. Last week, CNN quietly managed to insert the CNN Plus logo on a wall behind home plate digitally during a post-season baseball telecast on sibling network TBS.
“We’ve got different groups of people we need to reach,” says Rick Lewchuk, senior vice...
