Trump eyes AI oversight reversal, Apple explores Intel/Samsung chips, Coinbase cuts 14% of staff, OpenAI fast-tracks an AI phone for 2027, and ElevenLabs hits $500M ARR.
Key takeaways
- The Trump administration is reversing its hands-off AI stance, discussing an executive order to create an AI oversight working group that could introduce formal government review processes for new AI models—similar to the UK's safety standards framework.
- OpenAI is fast-tracking an AI-native phone targeting mass production in early 2027, built on a customized MediaTek Dimensity 9600 chip with dual NPU architecture, with projected combined 2027–2028 shipments of ~30 million units.
- ElevenLabs surpassed $500M ARR in Q1 2026 (up from $350M at year-end 2025) and closed a Series D at over $550M with BlackRock, Nvidia, and Wellington among investors, signaling strong enterprise demand for AI voice agents.
Why this matters
A potential U.S. government AI oversight framework, combined with accelerating enterprise AI adoption (ElevenLabs, Coinbase AI-driven restructuring) and new AI hardware entrants (OpenAI phone), signals that the AI industry is entering a phase of simultaneous regulatory maturation and commercial scaling that will reshape enterprise risk, procurement, and competitive strategy.
