00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:13.589
What's up sunshine? I'm Koi Wire. We are

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:16.150
CNN 10 and today we are covering a water

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:18.390
crisis. A wildfire creating its own

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:20.710
weather and a school where hiphop isn't

00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:22.550
distracting you from class. It's a part

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:24.870
of class. 10 minutes. Big world. Let's

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:27.830
rise up. We start with a big question.

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:29.910
When technology moves faster than ever,

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:31.990
how do humans make sure we're still

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:33.830
steering? In the nation's capital, some

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:35.350
of the biggest names in artificial

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:37.910
intelligence are asking humans to pump

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.069
the brakes. The CEOs of some of the

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:42.310
world's most powerful AI companies,

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.590
including Open AI's Sam Altzman, XAI's

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.389
Elon Musk, and anthropics Dario Amodi,

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:50.630
are warning that AI capabilities may be

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.869
advancing faster than the guard rails

00:00:52.879 --> 00:00:55.110
designed to control them. And now

00:00:55.120 --> 00:00:57.270
researchers and tech executives are

00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.349
urging governments, even rivals, the

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:00.950
United States and China, to work

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.670
together to set industrywide standards.

00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:05.429
And they're calling for safety testing

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.469
as well. Our Hadas Gold has more.

00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:10.950
>> It's rare to see rivals like Elon Musk,

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:13.910
Sam Alman, and Dario Amade all agree on

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:15.910
something, but they are all coming out

00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:18.390
saying it is time, past time, to do

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:19.910
something when it comes to the pace of

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.710
AI development and some sort of safety

00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:24.950
standards. Elon Musk and Sam Alman

00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:27.350
endorsing Anthropic CEO Dario Amade's

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:30.149
proposal from over the weekend to embed

00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.789
thirdparty independent watchd dogs into

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:34.950
AI companies who will help monitor

00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:37.749
things like safety. Dario Amade telling

00:01:37.759 --> 00:01:39.990
our colleague Anderson Cooper that he

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:41.510
believes this could be similar to how

00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:44.469
the financial system is regulated today.

00:01:44.479 --> 00:01:47.749
>> There is precedent for this. Um, if you

00:01:47.759 --> 00:01:50.069
look at how banks are regulated, right,

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:51.910
there's there's all kinds of, you know,

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:53.910
there's all kinds of rules about, you

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:55.590
know, how banks are allowed to do their

00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:57.030
business, right? Because, you know, we

00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.429
we don't want to have financial crisis.

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.190
And one of the things that are done in

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.510
some cases is I think they're called

00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:05.510
supervisors in the financial industry,

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:07.749
but they're they're folks who are

00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:09.270
independent of a company who are

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.670
embedded in the company dayto day to

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.790
check their practices. Uh, and I think

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.270
we can do the same thing in I think we

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.190
can do the same thing in AI.

00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:21.270
>> Sources familiar with the situation also

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.510
tell me that Anthropic, OpenAI, and

00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.510
Google had already been in discussions

00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.670
for several weeks about setting up a

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.150
sort of industry standards body that

00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:32.309
would help set some safety standards.

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.869
OpenAI CEO Sam Alman seemed to endorse

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.270
that idea, writing in a post on X that

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:38.710
they think shared standards for

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:40.630
misalignment, monitoring, and safety

00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:42.630
will lead to better outcomes and that

00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:44.150
they look forward to collaborating with

00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:46.309
our colleagues across the industry to

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.710
formulate the best versions of these. Of

00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:50.229
course, that's not the message that's

00:02:50.239 --> 00:02:51.990
coming out of Washington. President

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.949
Trump seemingly brushing off concerns

00:02:54.959 --> 00:02:57.990
over what AI could do to humanity,

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.390
calling it a hoax, and saying once again

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.309
that the United States need to do

00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.589
whatever it can to beat China in the AI

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.229
race. So for now, it seems that any

00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:11.270
action on AI safety or regulations is

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.270
not going to come from Washington, but

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:14.949
instead it will come from the companies

00:03:14.959 --> 00:03:16.309
themselves.

00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:17.990
>> So what do you think? Who should be

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.390
responsible for keeping AI safe?

00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.949
governments, tech companies, or both?

00:03:22.959 --> 00:03:24.470
And here's the tougher one. When

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:26.390
developing something this powerful, what

00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.190
matters more, moving fast or making sure

00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:31.589
it's safe? And can the two goals

00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:33.910
coexist? Feel free to press pause and

00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:36.789
let the debate begin.

00:03:36.799 --> 00:03:38.470
Now to Puerto Rico, where hundreds of

00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:39.990
thousands of people have been dealing

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:41.589
with something most of us probably don't

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.509
even think twice about. Turning on a

00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:46.229
faucet and expecting water to come out.

00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:49.110
Residents in the US island territory are

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.270
blaming severe drought, aging

00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.589
infrastructure, and mismanagement for

00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:55.509
the widespread service interruptions.

00:03:55.519 --> 00:03:57.830
Our Isabelle Rosales filed this report

00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:02.149
from San Juan.

00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.630
>> Right now, we're entering Luis Yuren

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:06.789
Torres. This is the largest public

00:04:06.799 --> 00:04:09.589
housing complex in Puerto Rico. There's

00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:19.030
over 2,000 apartments here.

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:20.789
Hundreds of thousands of Americans in

00:04:20.799 --> 00:04:23.030
Puerto Rico have been without reliable

00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:31.430
water for months.

00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:34.629
>> She tells me that she has been under

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:38.870
this water crisis for over two months.

00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:49.590
How do you shower?

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:51.909
She says she throws the gallon of water

00:04:51.919 --> 00:04:53.510
over her head. That's how she showers.

00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:56.390
Cold water. Auafria. Aua.

00:04:56.400 --> 00:04:58.469
>> The government has mandated a water

00:04:58.479 --> 00:05:01.430
rationing plan for 180,000 households in

00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:04.150
the San Juan metro area. 2 days on, two

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.070
days off. But the water doesn't always

00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:09.909
come back when it's supposed to.

00:05:09.919 --> 00:05:12.230
>> She's saying it's this is an abuse. And

00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:13.670
you would think that right now based on

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.350
the government's rationing schedule that

00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.430
she would have water, but as we saw, she

00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:19.189
turned on the faucet and there was

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.230
nothing. And it gets worse. In some

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.469
neighborhoods, when the water stops,

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:26.629
homeowners call in water delivery

00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.029
trucks. Puerto Rico's governor Jennifer

00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:31.430
Gonzalez has been blaming the severe

00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:33.990
drought for the water shortage. The

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.070
level of the water reservoir serving San

00:05:36.080 --> 00:05:38.710
Juan has been low. The capital recorded

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.670
its driest July on record in more than

00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:43.510
120 years.

00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:44.950
>> But many Puerto Ricans told me the

00:05:44.960 --> 00:05:48.629
drought is only half the story.

00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.029
>> Pointing the finger at the government,

00:05:51.039 --> 00:05:53.909
their anger more visible by the day.

00:05:53.919 --> 00:05:59.909
Check this out.

00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:02.710
We've been uh going 139 days without

00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:04.790
water this year.

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:06.710
>> There's a drought. The drought started

00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.029
in June and we are having problems with

00:06:09.039 --> 00:06:12.870
the water distribution since July 2025.

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:13.990
>> How does that happen?

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.590
>> Because they have leaks that they have

00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.790
not fixed for years. The real issue is

00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.670
not even the damage they have caused.

00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:23.510
It's that they don't know how to bring

00:06:23.520 --> 00:06:24.710
water to the people.

00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.230
>> So you're saying mismanagement.

00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:27.510
>> It's mismanagement.

00:06:27.520 --> 00:06:29.189
>> The governor has said at least $7

00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.670
billion has been committed to water

00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.309
infrastructure improvement projects. Her

00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.230
office did not respond to repeated

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.710
requests for an interview. Meanwhile,

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:40.390
the water shortage is putting small

00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:41.909
businesses at risk.

00:06:41.919 --> 00:06:43.670
>> Tomorrow morning, we're going to be out

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:45.189
of water. We need to, you know, put

00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.110
waters in the tanks tomorrow morning.

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:53.909
>> Including Hector Rosa's restaurant.

00:06:53.919 --> 00:06:57.749
>> Then the water goes up and we fill up

00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.589
the tank in the room.

00:06:59.599 --> 00:07:01.350
>> We train every single employee with

00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.270
this. Do you feel like an American

00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:04.950
citizen having to do all this?

00:07:04.960 --> 00:07:07.189
>> Oh, no. Definitely no. No, no. I feel

00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:09.510
like a Puerto Rican.

00:07:09.520 --> 00:07:12.629
>> Pop quiz. Hot shot. An octa is a unit

00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.110
used to measure what clouds, rain,

00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:23.909
smoke, or wind.

00:07:23.919 --> 00:07:26.150
If you said clouds, I'm seriously

00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.710
impressed. Meteorologists use octas to

00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:30.790
measure cloud coverage. Imagine dividing

00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.270
the sky into eight pieces. Zero octas,

00:07:33.280 --> 00:07:35.510
clear skies. Eight octas, completely

00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:37.990
overcast. Cloud computing before

00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:39.510
computers.

00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:41.749
A wildfire in Oklahoma is producing some

00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:43.430
frightening scenes. And the fire has

00:07:43.440 --> 00:07:45.430
become so intense, it's helping create

00:07:45.440 --> 00:07:48.070
its own weather. About 60 mi west of

00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:50.150
Oklahoma City, flames illuminated the

00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:51.990
night sky, orange and yellow, over

00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.710
Binger. As of this taping, the Oklahoma

00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:56.869
Forestry Service says the fire has

00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:00.390
spread across 3,000 acres and is 0%

00:08:00.400 --> 00:08:02.469
contained. And look at this. Authorities

00:08:02.479 --> 00:08:04.070
with the National Weather Service said

00:08:04.080 --> 00:08:05.830
the blaze was so powerful that it

00:08:05.840 --> 00:08:07.350
actually generated a towering

00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.309
thunderstorm cloud above the fire known

00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:13.589
as pyrouumulo nimbus cloud. Here's how

00:08:13.599 --> 00:08:15.670
it works. Extreme heat from the flames

00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:17.990
act like a giant chimney and quickly

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.309
drives a massive plume of hot air,

00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.309
smoke, and water vapor into the

00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.629
atmosphere. Mother Nature creating

00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:32.230
weather from fire.

00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:33.909
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A

00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:35.909
hip-hop school, grab a pad and a pen.

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:37.750
The Bronx School of Hip Hop in New York

00:08:37.760 --> 00:08:39.269
City opened up its doors and the

00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.029
freshman seemed ready to learn all of

00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:42.949
their subjects with an added twist. Hip

00:08:42.959 --> 00:08:45.030
hop culture used to teach academics.

00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:46.870
Mayor Mand Donnie on the scene. Grand

00:08:46.880 --> 00:08:49.030
opening scene packed. Hip hop legend Fat

00:08:49.040 --> 00:08:51.110
Joe and his team now lean back.

00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.990
>> Now I can understand what they mean when

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.430
they say we're using the elements of

00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:57.030
hip-hop to learn

00:08:57.040 --> 00:08:59.430
>> because in English class we learned how

00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.949
to like interpret certain lyrics. And

00:09:02.959 --> 00:09:04.550
that was really new for me, but I really

00:09:04.560 --> 00:09:05.350
loved it.

00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.030
>> Now here's your knowledge bomb. Hip-hop

00:09:07.040 --> 00:09:08.870
traces its roots to the Bronx in the

00:09:08.880 --> 00:09:11.430
early 1970s, eventually growing into a

00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.110
global culture built around elements

00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.310
including DJing, MCing, breaking, and

00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.070
graffiti art. From a neighborhood

00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.389
movement to classrooms half a century

00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.790
later, talk about old school becoming

00:09:22.800 --> 00:09:25.750
new school. And that is our 10. But

00:09:25.760 --> 00:09:27.509
first order of business before we go,

00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:29.350
your word Wednesday. Congrats to Mr.

00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.829
Nance's home room at St. Pas X Catholic

00:09:31.839 --> 00:09:34.150
School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Today's

00:09:34.160 --> 00:09:36.470
winning word, discombobulated. Great

00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.230
one. It's an adjective meaning deeply

00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:40.550
confused, disordered, or thrown

00:09:40.560 --> 00:09:41.990
completely off balance. Thank you for

00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.470
boosting our vocab today. And we do have

00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.269
a shout out going to Mr. Johnson and

00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.430
Mrs. Bailey at Rowan County Senior High

00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.430
School in Morehead, Kentucky. Look at

00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:53.269
that head. I don't know how you got my

00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.030
hair to do that, but it is incredible.

00:09:55.040 --> 00:09:56.710
Thank you for learning with us. And rise

00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:58.630
up. The world will give you plenty you

00:09:58.640 --> 00:10:00.870
can't control, so make the most of what

00:10:00.880 --> 00:10:03.269
you can. Effort, attitude, treating

00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.590
people well. Let's eat. I'm Ky Wire and

00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.480
we are CNN 10.
