Two moves this afternoon define where AI is actually being trusted: OpenAI wired ChatGPT straight into the electronic health record that most US hospitals run on, and the EU finalised a rulebook that treats a chatbot as infrastructure subject to public-safety law. Different rooms, same question — who carries the

Security validation has spent a decade proving you can block a single technique. Filigran's new release argues that's the wrong question — and puts a camera-equipped toothbrush and a very large open-source agent release on the same Tuesday. Filigran shipped OpenAEV v3, and the headline

Sony Music Publishing and Warner Chappell Music filed a sweeping federal copyright lawsuit against Anthropic late Friday, accusing the AI lab of running a "brazen campaign of illegally torrenting, scraping, and downloading" tens of thousands of songs to train Claude — and they put CEO Dario Amodei and co-

The Department of War (the renamed Pentagon) just put two consumer-grade frontier models behind its classified-grade front door, and the rollout is the largest single deployment of commercial generative AI inside the U.S. government to date. It's also the clearest signal yet that the Anthropic

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has published a detailed plan to build a national network of AI application service providers, setting concrete numerical targets and procurement incentives that signal Beijing is shifting from AI research rhetoric to deployment muscle. The notice, issued August 27 and published

A federal judge just told the US government it cannot punish an AI company for refusing to let its model kill people without a human in the loop. That sentence is bigger than Anthropic, bigger than the $200 million contract at the center of the fight, and bigger than Pete

The 2026 story about who a frontier model is allowed to help just got a vivid field test, and the field test was run by a paying customer on a $114 tablet. Eric Pardee, a 20-year InfoSec engineer, wanted to own hardware he had already bought. Five months and

A federal judge has thrown out the Pentagon's designation of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk, handing the Claude maker a decisive win in one of the most closely watched legal fights between an AI lab and the US government. A California federal judge ruled Thursday that the

The world's biggest AI labs and banks signed an open letter warning that the window to shore up defenses before AI outruns them is closing — a rare moment of would-be rivals speaking as one. More than 100 companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, AWS, and financial heavyweights

The Trump administration's most concrete attempt yet to let the AI industry police itself is stuck in limbo — a draft executive order that would create a self-regulatory body for AI companies has been circulating for weeks without winning the one endorsement that matters. The White House has

A ransomware group called Aur0ra leaned on SpaceX's Cursor AI coding assistant to help break into a Belgian chemical company and at least six other firms earlier this year — and the whole operation is now documented in chat logs reviewed by both Reuters and the Tel Aviv security

The most guarded data in AI — what people actually ask a model — just became a public research resource, and the first findings are revealing. Anthropic ran a pilot that handed three outside research teams access to real, anonymized Claude usage, with almost no say over what they concluded, and one
