Dozens of U.N. delegates walked out as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began his address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York City on Thursday. Netanyahu called those who left “moral cowards” and said those who remained and felt similarly should leave. Members of the Israeli delegation remained in the hall, cheering and chanting in support of the prime minister. The Israeli leader's visit follows a tense back-and-forth with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who in a July video labeled Netanyahu a "war criminal." The Hague-based International Criminal Court has had outstanding warrants of arrest for Netanyahu and Israel’s former defense minister over alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes, which they deny, related to the conflict in the Gaza Strip.

CNN, MS NOW, and Politico are suing the Trump Administration following President Donald Trump's decision to ban the three media outlets from the White House. Trump took to Truth Social shortly afterwards and insisted the White House "is not instituting an assault on the free press" but is instead targeting "fake news"—something he argued is "totally out of control" and "a threat to our national security." Can Trump legally ban news outlets from the White House? Here’s what to know about the legal fight in 60 seconds.

AI is creating its own proto-societies. A report in late August from AI safety organizations METR and Redwood Research details how hundreds of agents autonomously established social hierarchy, division of labor, and distinct communication norms within a matter of days. But what does that mean for humans? Reporter Tharin Pillay parses through why we need to be concerned, and why it wont be enough to try and pull the existing AI in line for AI, Explained by Humans.

Colin Kaepernick’s new book, The Perilous Fight, details tensions between the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, who hasn’t played in the NFL since the 2016 season—when he knelt during the national anthem to protest social injustice—and Jay-Z, who once called Kaepernick an “iconic figure.” The relationship began fraying in 2019, when Kaepernick settled a collusion lawsuit against the NFL, and Jay-Z’s company, Roc Nation, partnered with the league to consult on Super Bowl halftime entertainment and other initiatives. This summer, Jay-Z took a jab at Kaepernick at a Yankee Stadium show. “Sounds like a guilty conscience to me,” Kaepernick told TIME reporter Sean Gregory, when asked about Jay-Z in August. A representative for Roc Nation and Jay-Z did not respond to a request for comment. Read the full interview here: time-magazine.visitlink.me/A…

Democratic-socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders and MAGA loyalist Steve Bannon rarely find themselves on the same side of an issue. But concerns about AI have created some unlikely political common ground. This week, both appeared at the Pro-Human Assembly in Washington, D.C., where they warned about the risks of unregulated AI growth and called for stronger guardrails to keep the technology under human control. Here’s how the fight over AI is bringing political opposites together, in one minute.

What if AI could help doctors recognize when a patient is beginning to deteriorate? At the third annual TIME100 AI Impact Dinner in San Francisco, Suchi Saria, founder of Bayesian Health, shared the personal story behind her work. In 2017, Saria lost her nephew to sepsis.  She had already spent years studying whether routinely collected clinical data could reveal when patients were beginning to deteriorate, but when her own family needed that science, she realized it had not yet become a system that could be used in care. Today, Bayesian Health’s system analyzes clinical notes, lab results, clinical history and vital signs for shifts that suggest a patient may be at risk for an adverse medical event.

“After the championship, I can’t walk the streets.” New York Knicks point guard Jose Alvarado opens up about what winning the NBA championship has meant for him, his family and his community. The Brooklyn native helped the Knicks capture their first title in 53 years, a historic moment that carried even greater weight for Alvarado as a player representing his Puerto Rican roots. But for the Brooklyn born guard, the celebration goes far beyond New York. The moment was about giving people back home a chance to see themselves represented on a high level, while proving that you don’t have to fit the traditional image of an NBA star to make it to the top.

If Democrats win the House this November, a little-known congressional committee could become a major force in investigating the Trump administration. The House Natural Resources Committee oversees federal lands, including national parks and federally controlled land in Washington, D.C. That gives it jurisdiction over some of the administration’s most closely watched projects, including Trump’s proposed White House ballroom, the planned 250-foot triumphal arch and the troubled repairs to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. TIME reporter Nik Popli spoke with Rep. Jared Huffman, the committee’s top Democrat, about the investigations he could pursue if Democrats take control of the House.

Tennis, just like soccer, has been automating officiating at tournaments: this year’s U.S. Open is no exception. The red lights you might have seen on the nets are an extension of the line-calling technology, which replaced line judges on courts by 2022. This is the system making all the “out” calls. TIME video producer Alyona Uvarova spoke with U.S. Open tournament referee Jake Garner about how the technology works.

After a U.S. Open match was briefly halted on Monday to ask content creators to turn off a ring light, tournament referee Jake Garner commented on the incident and proper etiquette during matches. In the days since, the U.S. Open has also begun displaying signs around the tournament grounds reminding attendees: “Please refrain from the use of flash photography or other lighting. Thank you and enjoy the tennis.”

The ball crew is one of the most coveted jobs in tennis, and it’s just as competitive. This year, 3,500 people applied to be part of the U.S. Open ball crew, but only 130 were selected to work alongside some of the world’s top tennis players. The good news, though, is that anyone 14 and older can apply and try out for the team. TIME went behind the scenes to see what it takes to make the cut.

The first mail-in ballots for the midterms are going out this week, but the legal fight over how some of them will be counted could stretch all the way to Election Day, or even beyond.

OpenAI’s Greg Brockman envisions an AI agent that doesn’t require users to switch tabs, choose models, or even ask for help. Instead, it could anticipate what the user wants and the agent would act on their behalf, from finding concert tickets to purchasing them within a set budget. But giving AI that much autonomy hinges on one thing, he says: "trust is the keyword." TIME got unparalleled access inside OpenAI in August, spending dozens of hours talking to more than 20 of its leaders, employees, investors, and customers.

"I think there is this caricature of me which is like I don't care about AI safety." But Sam Altman believes OpenAI has always been a company that would slow down for new risks, he recently told TIME. In mid-August, the company behind ChatGPT announced that it was implementing new safeguards. OpenAI recently paused training on its next set of models for a little more than two weeks, according to executives, and its largest planned frontier training run remains on hold while the new guardrails are put in place. It is the first time OpenAI has made such a move, and it follows a remarkable breach in which rogue agents escaped the sandbox of an internal cybersecurity evaluation and compromised another company. TIME got unparalleled access inside OpenAI in August. Read more from our interviews here: time-magazine.visitlink.me/J…

“A few years ago, every community wanted us to come build data centers in their community. [...] And then that really changed.” A June Reuters poll found that just a third of Americans approve of the pace of data-center construction, and only 14% are comfortable with a data center being built nearby. In an interview with TIME, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed the data-center backlash and suggested AI companies should respect it by building data centers in less populated areas moving forward.

In just three weeks at the U.S. Open, this team is expected to string and restring around 8,000 tennis rackets, making sure the tension of each one is exactly what the tennis pros need. Sometimes, that means being on their feet and working late into the night. TIME talked to a veteran racket stringer from Ukraine who has worked at the U.S. Open 21 times, stringing rackets for legends like Roger Federer and Serena Williams.

“I like to have the target on my back.” With the U.S. Open main draw beginning on Sunday, Aryna Sabalenka, the world’s top-ranked women’s tennis player, remains in prime position to fulfill her wildest aspirations: a third straight U.S. Open victory. If she wins, despite underperforming at other Grand Slams this year, she would become the first player since Serena Williams to win the tournament three times in a row and just the third woman in the modern era to do so. TIME recently asked Sabalenka who she saw as her biggest competition. Read more here: time-magazine.visitlink.me/r…

If you spend your days hunched over your desk and phone, your shoulders are probably curling forward by now, and you may find yourself constantly trying to straighten your back to improve your posture. One habit you can try is hanging from a bar. Yes, like the monkey bars you grew up with, but right-side up. Physiotherapist Daniel Vadnal says that starting small—with 3 sets of 30 second intervals—can already give your shoulders and upper body some much-needed release. That doesn’t mean 30 seconds on a bar will permanently correct your posture or treat back or shoulder pain. But hanging moves your upper body into a position it might not visit very often, which may help explain why people often step down feeling looser, according to TIME reporter Angela Haupt.

“When a company says they are trying to help humanity, it’s just counter to the facts.” Actor and filmmaker Joseph Gordon-Levitt has emerged as one of the most notable figures in AI discourse, and is now set to direct an AI thriller feature film for Netflix. His aim as a storyteller is to help viewers understand the stakes of widespread adoption of the technology. A private company, he notes, is incentivized to maximize shareholder value. “The rest is marketing.” In December 2025, he also founded the Creators Coalition on AI alongside others including Natasha Lyonne and Daniel Kwan. It aims to become Hollywood's voice at the table, calling for fair compensation, job protections and deepfake guardrails. The coalition’s signatories include A-listers like Ben Affleck, Aaron Sorkin, Margot Robbie, Cate Blanchett, and Octavia Spencer. Gordon-Levitt is on the TIME100 AI, the list of leaders shaping the development of AI in 2026. See the full list: time-magazine.visitlink.me/d…

“If we can make AI make better chips, then those chips can power the next generation of AI models.” Startup ‘Ricursive Intelligence,’ founded by Azalia Mirhoseini and Anna Goldie, has been building AI tools to do just that: to speed up the chip design process. The company’s name is a nod to “recursive self-improvement,” the idea that AI could one day bootstrap itself without human involvement. If they’re successful, Goldie and Mirhoseini could revolutionize the way the chip industry works. At the moment, AI companies mostly optimize their models for certain chips. But in a future where chip design happens far faster, it could work the other way around: chips optimized for specific models. The founders are on the TIME100 AI, the list of people shaping the development of AI in 2026. See the full list: time-magazine.visitlink.me/z…
