China has unveiled the world's largest flying car, while in the US, inflation cooled last month, according to reports from multiple news sources. Simultaneously, an AI safety researcher quit his job with a warning that the "world is in peril," and a Venezuelan deportee is welcoming the chance to return to the US. These stories, along with a report on Heathrow Airport, highlight the diverse range of global news developments.
An aviation company based in Shanghai, AutoFlight, unveiled the Matrix, the world's largest flying car, according to Fox News. The vehicle has already completed successful flight tests near Shanghai, marking a significant step in the low-altitude economy, which focuses on short-distance flights using electric aircraft.
In the US, inflation eased in January, with the consumer price index rising by 2.4% over the 12 months, as reported by the Department of Labor, according to BBC Business. This was down from 2.7% the prior month and the slowest pace since May. The retreat in inflation could lead to arguments for cutting interest rates. However, some analysts have warned that further progress toward the Federal Reserve's 2% target could stall.
Meanwhile, an AI safety researcher, Mrinank Sharma, resigned from US firm Anthropic with a cryptic warning that the "world is in peril," as reported by BBC Technology. In his resignation letter, Sharma cited concerns about AI, bioweapons, and the state of the wider world. He plans to pursue writing and poetry and move back to the UK.
Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 is not crowded, according to the airport's boss, Thomas Woldbye, who spoke at an industry event, as reported by BBC Business. Woldbye stated that people are simply walking in the "wrong place," leading to a perception of overcrowding.
A US federal judge ordered that some Venezuelan men sent by the Trump administration to a notorious prison in El Salvador must be allowed to return to the United States, according to The Guardian. Luis Muñoz Pinto, one of the deportees, welcomed the chance to clear his name but also expressed fear of repeating his ordeal.
