get asylum. the order was designed to take effect when the number of border encounters between ports of entry hit 2500 per day, meaning it took effect immediately at midnight. because the last time average daily encounters were below that level was back in 2021, when biden took office. the order will only be lifted when apprehensions drop to 1500 per day. numbers not seen since the pandemic. on the abc news start here podcast, homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas spoke about the changes. it is certainly our hope that with our continued press on, lawful pathways are continued. >> attack against the smugglers in the cartels and this bar that we will be able, to drive lawful pathways successfully. >> migrants who arrive at the border but do not express fear of returning to their home countries will now be subject to immediate removal within a matter of days, or even hours. there are exceptions, including for unaccompanied minors. >> what we have done over the past three years is build lawful

pathways, and in fact, more than a million people have access. those lawful pathways in the past year. so asylum is very much still alive. immigration advocates worry biden's executive order will only worsen the already months long backlog at border crossings. >> struggling with a lack of resources. but president biden says he had no choice in taking this executive action because republicans rejected a bipartisan border security bill earlier this year at the urging of former president trump. >> i've come here today to do what the republicans in congress refused to do take the necessary steps to secure our border. >> a group of voters who supported nikki haley for president called biden's executive order a huge win for haley. republicans. but republicans in congress dismissed biden's plan as an election year stunt, arguing biden's reversal of trump era border policies years ago is what created this migrant crisis. >> don't be fooled. one executive order can in no way

undo the 64 specific executive actions he's already taken, and three and a half years of chaos that they've allowed to ensue. >> migrant encounters at the border have been on the decline for months, but administration officials say the numbers are still far too high. >> rhiannon, christiane, thank you for that report. a disturbing story near cleveland. police say a three year old boy was fatally stabbed in a random attack outside of a supermarket. witnesses say a woman attacked the boy and his mother. his mother survived. surveillance video shows the suspect there. she is a 32 year old woman holding the knife. police say she got it from a nearby thrift store. she was arrested and police are now looking into possible mental health issues. >> testimony resumes today at hunter biden's felony gun trial. an fbi witness will return to the stand, prosecutors told the jury the president's son knowingly lied about his drug abuse on a form to buy a gun. but the defense says hunter was using alcohol at the time, not drugs, and did not knowingly

break the law. >> stormy daniels is speaking out about her decision to wear a bulletproof vest when she testified at former president trump's hush money trial, her payment to keep silent about an alleged sexual encounter with trump was the focus of the case, and she says she got death threats every day. >> and there was one email in particular that just felt odd, and i showed it to some law enforcement friends, that live here in florida. and they said, you know what? it's better safe than sorry. you're not going to you know, regret wearing this if someone shoots at you. trump is now asking the judge to lift the gag order from that case. >> we turn now to artificial intelligence. it holds so much promise in making our lives easier and healthier. but there's also risk a lot of risk. and now some prominent experts are sounding the alarm this morning, current and former employees at two major artificial intelligence companies are sounding the alarm about what they describe as a reckless and secretive industry. in an open letter, the group is

calling for more transparency, saying a.i. companies possess substantial nonpublic information about the capabilities and limitations of their systems. however, they currently have only weak obligations to share some of this information with governments and none with civil society. the letter calls for a.i. companies to stop blocking employees from openly criticizing them, and create anonymous ways for employees to voice concerns to regulators. >> if we let this horse get out of the barn, it will be even more difficult to contain than social media. and we are. >> last year, senators josh hawley and richard blumenthal released a bipartisan framework for regulating ai. we have a responsibility here now to do our part to make sure that this new technology, which holds a lot of promise but also peril, actually works for the american people. but more than nine months after that framework was announced, not a single federal law governing artificial intelligence has been passed in response to the new letter, openai saying, we agree that

rigorous debate is crucial given the significance of this technology and will continue to engage with governments civil society and other communities around the world. one author of that letter says ai is advancing with worrying speed. openai said it will soon establish a new committee to make recommendations about safety. >> turning now to the weather and a potentially historic heat wave is bearing down on the west. let's check your wednesday forecast. right. >> good morning. some gusty thunderstorms will be moving through parts of the ohio valley, the great lakes area, even into the interior south with a small risk of an isolated tornado. flash flooding is a big concern as well. all this slides east through the ohio valley in through this afternoon, evening and into the night, and eventually into the northeast later into the night. another big story will be the heat scorching heat. accuweather realfeel temperatures 110 to 115 into phoenix and las vegas. very hot weather for accuweather. i'm jeff cornish for abc news.
