Few of the top AI labs have published or demonstrated containment response plans, according to a recent study. A containment plan spells out what happens once an AI is caught trying to subvert human control — what access gets cut, and when the system gets shut down entirely. That’s the finding from Guidelight AI Standards,
I had two days in Cleveland and one thing I’d wanted to do for years: Visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The best flight option was with the budget carrier Frontier Airlines, and it was departing Denver at 6:45 a.m. To make it on time, I’d have to wake at 3:30 a.m. and
As policymakers debate how to govern increasingly powerful AI systems like OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol and Anthropic’s Mythos, a Chinese open-weight model has narrowed the gap with the industry’s leaders. GLM-5.2, the open-weight AI model from China’s Z.ai, is only a few months behind OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 and Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.7 on cyber and bio capabilities,
Alex Karp’s crusade against frontier AI labs continues. During Palantir’s second-quarter earnings call on Monday, the CEO and cofounder reiterated his view that leading AI labs could absorb enterprises’ data, intellectual property, and expertise into their models and ultimately use that to compete with their customers. “They deserve to colonize your enterprise,” Karp said, characterizing
For several weeks this summer, the AI industry was obsessed with Anthropic’s latest frontier models and Washington’s fight to control who was granted access to them. But while everyone was watching the frontier, developers kept building, and they weren’t waiting for permission from the Anthropics and OpenAIs of the world. Chinese open-weight models accounted for
In an X post on Tuesday morning, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis called for the creation of a new regulatory body to oversee frontier model releases. Titled “A framework for frontier AI and the dawn of a new era,” the publication advocates for a “standards body” modeled on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), which
