| | | |  White House Unveils National AI Plan
The Trump administration on Friday released a national framework for regulating artificial intelligence, seeking to centralize a single policy in Washington by preempting state-level AI laws it says will hamper innovation. The framework outlines six key objectives prioritizing innovation and scaling AI, proposing a federal approach that would override stricter state regulations on issues ranging from children's online safety to free speech protections and streamlined AI infrastructure. On child safety, the framework calls for parental controls while stopping short of enforceable requirements for AI companies. It also addresses intellectual property rights and rules against AI-driven censorship of political expression. Critics argue the framework shields Big Tech from accountability, while industry supporters say a uniform national standard is exactly what startups need. | CBS Closing Century-Old News Radio Service CBS News announced Friday that it is shutting down CBS News Radio, ending a historic broadcast service that has been on the air since 1927 and once carried Edward R. Murrow's World War II dispatches from London. Today CBS News Radio provides material to an estimated 700 radio stations across the country, and is known best for its top-of-the-hour news roundups. The service will end on May 22, the network said Friday. The closure comes alongside layoffs of approximately 6% of the CBS News workforce, roughly 60 to 70 employees, according to Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss and President Tom Cibrowski. The executives cited a shifting news landscape and the need to reach younger, digitally focused audiences. They called the radio closure a necessary but difficult decision driven by changing radio programming strategies. | Action Icon Chuck Norris Dies Chuck Norris, the iconic martial artist and action star best known for Walker, Texas Ranger, died on Thursday at the age of 86. Norris had been hospitalized in Hawaii shortly before his death, though earlier reports indicated he had been alert and in good spirits. He had been training as recently as March 18 and celebrated his 86th birthday on March 10 with a boxing video.

Why Getting Up From A Chair Gets Harder Each Year (It's Not Age) How do some folks stay active well into their 70s, 80s, and even 90s... while others find themselves hobbling down stairs or needing to rock back and forth just to get out of a chair?
