Nadella Urges US-China AI Safety Norms as Xi Visits Washington

Summary · why it matters

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said the United States and China should establish shared norms on AI development and safety, including a direct leader-to-leader notification channel for cybersecurity attacks, as Chinese President Xi Jinping visits Washington to meet with President Trump. Speaking with CNBC's Deirdre Bosa at APEC, Nadella said both countries care about the same things: diffusing the technology so citizens get value and doing so safely, and that the more norms they set, with the US in particular able to lead, the better off the world is. Nadella also discussed Microsoft's new Copilot, which has about 30 million customers so far and rolls out in the coming weeks with three modes: chat, code, and Autopilot, an agentic mode connected to a user's apps, email, and workflows. He said trust will be Microsoft's biggest issue, pointing to Agent 365 as the company's fastest-adopting enterprise product for observing, governing, and securing AI agents, and warned that token costs mean the current level of subsidy cannot last, so customers must ultimately see return on investment. Nadella attended the state dinner during the summit, and Bosa said any direct US-China communication line emerging from the talks would be a positive step.

SoftBank to Launch Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 in Japan on September 25

SoftBank is set to roll out the new Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 in Japan on September 25, giving Meta Platforms another distribution channel for its AI-powered smart glasses. The Japanese carrier has been steadily expanding its smart-glasses business, becoming the country's first mobile network operator to sell Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 glasses in June and enlarging its Meta glasses assortment again in August. Alongside the Gen 3 launch, SoftBank will also add Meta Glasses by LISA to its lineup. The wider retail and carrier availability matters to Meta because smart glasses are a prominent piece of its push to extend artificial intelligence beyond smartphones and PCs, and could help it gauge whether AI-powered wearables can become a substantial consumer hardware category. Meta shares closed up 4.5% at $777.59 on Thursday, while SoftBank Group's U.S.-listed shares slumped 7.6%.
