US AI oversight debate, OpenAI Dots, and Gemini 4 Argon featured in This Week in AI

The Trump administration announced a voluntary agreement with major AI companies calling for internal safety monitoring, external audits, and independent board reviews, and the Federal Trade Commission launched an investigation into OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI companies over potential consumer risks.

OpenAI released Dots, a proactive assistant that retains context, works across applications, and acts without waiting for prompts. Google says Gemini 4 Argon can generate up to a million output tokens in a single response.
