A top OpenAI executive said Wednesday the company would support a U.S.-led global AI body that includes China as competition between the two countries intensifies.

Chris Lehane, OpenAI’s vice president of global affairs, told reporters the U.S. could leverage its advancements in AI to help establish a global framework aimed at building safer, more resilient systems, according to Bloomberg.

“AI, in some level, transcends a lot of the prevailing or traditional trade type of issues,” Lehane said. “There is an opportunity to really start to build something up globally, and have countries around the world, including China, potentially participate.”

Lehane said the proposed organization could resemble the International Atomic Energy Agency, which includes China and sets global safety standards for nuclear energy development.

He added that such a framework could be built by linking the U.S. Commerce Department’s Center for AI Standards and Innovation with AI safety institutes being developed around the world.

Lehane said OpenAI has floated the idea of connecting AI safety institutes, though it is unclear whether the Trump administration would support China’s participation in setting global guidelines.

The comments come as President Donald Trump arrived in China ahead of talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Several business leaders joined Trump on the trip, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The chipmaker is the world’s most valuable company, with a market value of about $5.3 trillion.

The talks are expected to take place against the backdrop of the ongoing war in Iran, as well as continued U.S.-China tensions over tariffs, artificial intelligence and trade.

The two countries could discuss new commitments by China to purchase U.S. agricultural products and jetliners, while restrictions on the sale of advanced AI chips remain a potential sticking point.

Ahead of the visit, former White House AI adviser David Sacks weighed in on the intensifying AI competition between the two countries on “The Claman Countdown.”

“I do think that there are things that may be in our common interest, and it’s worthwhile to explore having those conversations,” he said.

“The fact is, we have to still protect from against each other. So I think it’s going to be a little bit limited in terms of what we can achieve there.”

The discussions come as concerns grow over advanced AI systems, including Anthropic’s Mythos model, which has raised alarms about its ability to identify long-standing security vulnerabilities.

Sacks said the U.S. and China could potentially reach an agreement on new cyber standards, noting that neither country wants “rogue actors” using AI for harmful purposes.

A potential peanut contamination has prompted a nationwide recall of certain instant noodle packages, federal regulators announced Tuesday.

Los Angeles-based Fly By Jing voluntarily initiated the recall for select lots of its Creamy Sesame Noodles, a protein-packed vegan noodle product, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

“People who have allergies to peanuts run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the FDA said. 

“We take food quality and safety seriously, and we are deeply sorry for any concern this causes. We are committed to making this right for every customer,” Fly By Jing said.

According to the recall, the company discovered that a third-party manufacturer used shared equipment that also processes peanuts under conditions that could pose a health risk to individuals with peanut allergies. 

The affected products were distributed nationwide through its website and retail stores, including Whole Foods Market and Thrive Market, the FDA said. The company added that the products may also have been sold on TikTok. 

The affected products include single and four-pack containers with lot codes 8-50052-23988-6 and 8-50052-23991-6. The impacted products carry best-by dates of Oct. 15, 2026, Dec. 6, 2026, and March 23, 2027.  

Federal regulators added that the affected products were distributed to retailers between Feb. 1, 2026, and May 8, 2026.

Fly By Jing is offering full refunds to those who purchased the affected items. Customers can return the products to their retailer for a full refund, and those who bought the items through the company’s website or TikTok Shop will also be contacted, the company said. 

To ensure consumer safety, the company said it immediately stopped distribution, notified customers and retail partners, and placed all remaining inventory on hold. Fly By Jing has also implemented stricter allergen controls with its third-party manufacturer to help prevent future issues.

SAN FRANCISCO — YouTube Studio appears operational for most users Wednesday as of mid-morning May 13, 2026, with no widespread outage reported on major monitoring sites, though creators continue to encounter occasional “Something Went Wrong” errors amid lingering platform glitches from earlier this year.

Downdetector and other status trackers show minimal reports of problems with YouTube overall or its creator dashboard specifically in the past 24 hours. Video playback, uploads and analytics load normally for the vast majority, but isolated complaints persist on forums and social media about slow dashboard loading or delayed statistics.

YouTube Studio serves as the central hub for millions of content creators managing channels, uploading videos, checking analytics and engaging with audiences. Any disruption can halt workflows, delay monetization insights and frustrate scheduling. While no global outage matches the scale of February or March incidents, periodic hiccups remain common.

Earlier in 2026, creators faced notable disruptions. On March 10, YouTube Studio experienced a partial outage affecting dashboard loading, analytics visibility and mobile app functionality. Google confirmed the issue and resolved it within hours, restoring full access. Similar glitches appeared around March 30, with users reporting frozen subscriber counts and incomplete data.

The February 17 outage proved more severe, impacting the broader YouTube platform including homepage recommendations, the main app and YouTube Studio tools. Over 300,000 users reported problems at peak, primarily in the United States. TeamYouTube acknowledged the recommendations system failure on X, noting it prevented videos from appearing across surfaces. Full restoration took several hours.

These events highlight YouTube’s massive scale — more than 2.5 billion monthly users — and the complexity of its backend infrastructure. Even brief interruptions affect creators’ livelihoods, especially those relying on timely analytics for algorithm optimization or ad revenue tracking.

Common error messages include “Something Went Wrong,” “Oops,” or loading spinners that never resolve. These often stem from server-side issues, browser cache conflicts, network problems or high traffic. Mobile app users sometimes fare differently from desktop, with one interface working while the other fails.

If experiencing problems today, several troubleshooting steps typically resolve them quickly. First, refresh the page multiple times or try incognito mode. Clearing browser cache and cookies for youtube.com often helps. Switching networks or using a VPN can bypass regional routing glitches.

Updating the YouTube Studio mobile app to the latest version frequently fixes compatibility bugs. Logging out and back in, or accessing via a different device, can also restore functionality. For persistent issues, checking Downdetector or YouTube’s official @TeamYouTube account provides real-time confirmation.

Google rarely discloses root causes publicly, citing security and competitive reasons. However, industry experts point to routine maintenance, database synchronization delays or spikes in creator activity as frequent culprits. The platform’s heavy reliance on machine learning for recommendations and analytics adds layers of potential failure points.

Creators have voiced frustration over recurring disruptions. On Reddit forums like r/PartneredYoutube and r/YouTubeCreators, threads from March detailed hours-long analytics blackouts that hindered content planning. Some reported lost upload progress or inability to respond to comments during outages.

Despite challenges, YouTube remains the dominant platform for video creators, offering unmatched reach and monetization tools. Features like real-time analytics, copyright management and community posts make Studio indispensable. Google continues investing in reliability, rolling out gradual backend improvements.

For those affected right now, patience often proves effective as issues self-resolve within minutes to hours. In rare prolonged cases, reaching out via YouTube Help Center or waiting for an official acknowledgment yields results. Backup workflows — such as preparing thumbnails and descriptions offline — help mitigate impact.

The platform’s evolution includes better error handling in recent updates. Enhanced mobile Studio experiences and faster loading aim to reduce future headaches. Yet as creator numbers grow, so does pressure on infrastructure during peak hours like evenings in major time zones.

Broader context shows YouTube’s resilience. Major outages remain infrequent compared to daily uptime. The company maintains dedicated status communications and rapid response teams. For enterprise or high-volume creators, YouTube Partner Manager support provides priority assistance during incidents.

Looking ahead, expectations rise for even greater stability as artificial intelligence tools integrate deeper into Studio for content optimization and trend prediction. Any downtime in those features could amplify creator anxiety. Google has hinted at expanded redundancy measures in upcoming infrastructure announcements.

In the meantime, creators adapt by diversifying platforms — posting to TikTok, Instagram Reels or X alongside YouTube. Multi-platform strategies reduce dependency risks during technical hiccups. Many maintain personal dashboards or third-party analytics tools as backups.

As of 10 a.m. BST on May 13, monitoring sites confirm normal operations across YouTube services. Occasional user reports likely reflect localized issues rather than systemic failure. The platform continues serving billions of video views without interruption for most.

For creators checking Studio today, the dashboard should display current analytics, pending uploads and comment management tools without major barriers. If anomalies appear, standard fixes usually restore access quickly. YouTube’s scale means even small percentage issues affect thousands, amplifying visibility on social media.

The episode underscores the digital economy’s fragility. Millions depend on seamless access for income, education and entertainment. Google’s ownership provides resources for quick recovery, but expectations for near-perfect uptime grow with each incident.

Creators navigating today’s environment benefit from community knowledge-sharing. Forums, Discord groups and creator newsletters often circulate workarounds faster than official channels. Staying updated on platform changes helps anticipate potential disruptions.

While YouTube Studio functions normally now, its history of intermittent issues reminds users to prepare contingencies. Reliable internet, updated software and alternative tools form the best defense. For most, the dashboard delivers essential insights without delay on this Wednesday.

As the day progresses, any new developments will likely surface first on social platforms and outage trackers. For now, creators can focus on content rather than technical troubleshooting, with YouTube Studio standing ready to support their work.
