Bill Gates is sounding the alarm on artificial intelligence ... warning the technology is more dangerous than cars, planes and drugs ... and trusting the companies developing it to police themselves is a terrible idea.

The Microsoft cofounder didn't mince words during an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, calling A.I. "the most dangerous technology humans ever invented" and arguing society needs to step in before things get out of hand.

Gates says fears about A.I. wiping out humanity can get overblown ... but that doesn't mean we should be handing the keys over to tech giants and hoping for the best.

The attorney for the woman accusing seven former Cornell University Chi Phis members of gang rape claims the fraternity held meetings to cover up the alleged assault.

Jane Doe's attorney, Thomas Giuffra, told CNN's Anderson Cooper Tuesday the fraternity members allegedly tried to figure out whether Jane was gathering information about the incident. Once they realized she would not accept their version of events, Giuffra claims, they backed off.

Giuffra alleges fraternity members held meetings to coordinate their response and keep the alleged rape from becoming public.

An attorney representing Christa Pike has said that his client may never fully recover from her botched execution ... and claims that her hospital room is under guard as she remains on a ventilator.

Stephen Ferrell revealed to Jake Tapper on CNN Sunday that Pike is still hospitalized and "critically ill."

Ferrell said ... "She is guarded. I'm not sure who may have seen her. I know I have not seen her. The state of Tennessee has not yet said whether it will ultimately try to execute her again."

The attorney representing the Jane Doe accusing 7 members of the Chi Phi fraternity at Cornell University of drugging and sexually assaulting her is claiming that evidence could have been dumped in a lake for all he knows ... and that there's more video and pics of the alleged gang rape.

Sitting down with CNN's Jake Tapper Sunday ... lawyer Thomas Giuffra raised concerns that crucial evidence -- including additional videos and photos -- was lost because a search warrant was never executed by authorities.

Giuffra said ... "They would have grabbed every single one of these phones of these guys. They would have downloaded all this material. I'm confident, knowing this day and age and the group that we're dealing with, that there were other photos, there were videos."

The lawyer defending 1 of the 7 frat brothers accused of gang raping a Cornell student in 2024 is claiming that while his client did react to the infamous "free p***y" Snapchat group message, he did not rape her.

Attorney Jeremy Saland, who represents defendant Scott Kretzschmar, told CNN that his client merely went upstairs following the "free p***y" group message ... after asking himself "what the heck does this mean?"

Saland claims that Kretzschmar just joked around and talked with the Jane Doe -- who he claims was conscious -- for 5 minutes.

Jake Tapper made the Cornell alleged sex assault case personal on air ... telling Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten he couldn’t imagine how angry he'd be if prosecutors handled a case involving his own daughter the same way.

During a CNN interview Monday night, Tapper had a sharp tone when pressing Van Houten over his office's decision not to file criminal charges after a 2024 alleged assault involving a Cornell student and seven Chi Phi fraternity members.

Tapper said the Cornell University Police Department complaint described a woman who had consumed ketamine, was reportedly an eight out of ten on an intoxication scale and didn’t remember large portions of the night. He also pointed to an alleged fraternity group chat message advertising "free p***y" upstairs.

9:31 AM PT -- Politico and MS NOW have also now been allowed back in the White House.

9:07 AM PT -- CNN has been allowed back into the White House.

President Trump apparently didn't get the memo ... CNN and POLITICO say their reporters are still being denied access to the White House despite a judge ordering the administration to restore access.

As you know, the judge threw his support behind CNN, POLITICO and MS NOW by ruling Thursday that their journalists should immediately have their press credentials returned so they could enter the White House and cover the commander-in-chief.

The ruling came in early Thursday, but when CNN and POLITICO reporters showed up to the White House to do their jobs, they reportedly were turned away.

A federal judge has just ruled in favor of the news outlets the Trump administration kicked out of the White House.

Judge Timothy J. Kelly backed CNN, MS NOW and Politico in their fight against the executive branch. According to a ruling filed early Thursday morning, Kelly ruled the reporters' press credentials were revoked without providing "constitutionally adequate due process."

Kelly stated in the filing ... "The 'general rule' is that 'individuals must receive notice and an opportunity to be heard before the Government deprives them' of a constitutionally protected interest."

He'd previously noted the White House didn't give the reporters kicked out due process before revoking their access to the building, which he said runs counter to precedent.

The filing states the "hard pass" press credentials held by employees of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO that were revoked shall be "immediately" returned, reinstated, and restored until further Order of the Court or the expiration of the Temporary Restraining Order -- which is set to remain in effect for 14 days.

It was all Natalie Harp's fault that 3 major news organizations got banned from the White House ... after she reportedly showed President Trump clips of TV hosts ripping him.

Natalie put the final nail in the coffin for CNN, MS NOW and Politico when she showed the commander-in-chief all the negative stories the 3 media outlets had published about him ... according to the Wall Street Journal.

In particular, Natalie focused on TV news anchors bashing the administration during their broadcasts -- and Trump had seen enough by Friday, after watching an unfavorable MS NOW report.

House Speaker Mike Johnson says America's top A.I. executives need to sit down with Congress and hash out safety rules -- as warnings about artificial intelligence potentially threatening humanity grow louder.

Johnson made the comments to CNN's Jake Tapper Sunday, saying lawmakers need to work with the companies developing the technology to establish guardrails.

He acknowledged the increasingly serious concerns being raised by A.I. leaders, but said putting development on hold isn't the answer. The biggest reason ... China.

A.I. researcher Jacob Coxon says we don't have to worry about artificial intelligence wiping out the world ... yet.

Coxon sat down with Anderson Cooper just one day after his viral warning to say that where A.I. stands currently, is not a threat to civilization ... but the rate at which it's improving on itself is what's terrifying.

The former Anthropic researcher says he wasn't always planning to sound the alarm over A.I. ... his initial plan was just to quit.

Kurt Busch opened up about his brother Kyle's sudden death in a new interview ... and he's clearly still stunned by the development -- especially because he insists no one knew how sick he was.

The NASCAR star opened up about Kyle's final days in an interview on Anderson Cooper's "All There Is" podcast ... telling the veteran journalist that people around Kyle noticed he had a little cough -- but he seemed totally fine otherwise.

He notes Kyle won a race -- the 2026 Ecosave 200 Craftsman Truck Series race at Dover Motor Speedway -- days before he died ... and even visited an indoor go-kart track with his son two days before he passed.

Kurt says these aren't the actions of a man so close to death ... and one look at him shows he's still shocked.

CNN made a pretty big blunder during their coverage of Dolly Parton's death ... showing a pic of an impersonator instead of the real deal ... and now the cable news giant is apologizing.

The embarrassing flub went down Tuesday night ... CNN was airing a montage of Dolly photos, and they mistakenly included an image of Las Vegas impersonator Kelly Vohnn.

The photo hit airwaves during "Laura Coates Live" ... about 12 hours after Dolly's family announced the iconic artist's death ... so it wasn't like CNN was rushing to put together a TV package here.

Don Lemon's wishing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle luck on their move back to the United Kingdom ... though it's admittedly a bit begrudging.

The former CNN anchor posted his reaction to the Sussexes' change of scenery ... yelling out a shocked "What?!?" while reading the news.

Don says he's shocked because of everything Harry and Meghan put the public through after their famous Oprah interview, where Meghan alleged racism from senior members of the Royal Family.

He throws a "Good luck, whatever," their way ... not exactly a full-throated expression of support, though he does note he gets where they're coming from as an interracial couple.

Eric Trump says his father's right-hand woman Natalie Harp got the good genes in her family ... taking a savage swipe at her estranged brother after his CNN appearance.

Eric tore into Preston Harp Wednesday morning over his appearance on CNN's "OutFront" with Erin Burnett Tuesday night ... calling the whole thing "absolute trash."

But he wasn't done. Eric praised Natalie as an "incredible young woman," a cancer survivor and "arguably one of the hardest-working people in the White House" ... saying she's deeply committed to his father, her job and the country.

Then came the dagger ... "From the looks of it, she got all the family genetics."
