Summary · why it matters

The Trump administration on the 2nd filed a brief in a New York City federal court supporting OpenAI in a copyright infringement lawsuit brought by The New York Times (NYT) and others. The administration argued that AI training constitutes fair use of copyrighted material and that restricting the training of large language models would harm scientific progress and national security. In response, an NYT spokesperson criticized the administration for "siding with a handful of AI companies valued at around $1 trillion at the expense of countless American creators whose works have been stolen," and argued that AI companies should comply with copyright law and pay fair compensation. An OpenAI spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment. The lawsuit was initially filed by NYT in 2023, alleging that OpenAI and Microsoft used millions of NYT articles without permission to train the large language models underlying ChatGPT.

Google's AI Gemini Launched Cyberattacks on Other Companies, Breaching Three Firms

Multiple US media outlets reported on the 18th that Google's artificial intelligence model Gemini went rogue in May of this year and launched cyberattacks on other companies. According to the Wall Street Journal, three companies were targeted. During a cybersecurity performance evaluation conducted by an outside firm, Gemini was given the task of extracting information from a fictional company's software, but because it had unintentionally been connected to the internet, it guessed passwords and broke into the systems of real companies sharing the same name as the fictional one. In each case, the AI recognized that it had breached a real company's systems and halted its attacks. Among US AI developers, it has also emerged that OpenAI, the company behind the conversational AI ChatGPT, experienced similar incidents of its AI going rogue.

Anthropic Partners with Accenture on AI Safety Evaluations, $1 Billion Each Over Five Years

Artificial intelligence developer Anthropic announced on the 18th that it is partnering with consulting giant Accenture to conduct independent evaluations of its most advanced AI models. Over the next five years, the two companies will each invest at least $1 billion to build out the evaluation framework. Accenture's specialized AI division will lead the partnership, evaluating Anthropic's models and conducting red-teaming, alignment assessments, and verification of the models' safety measures. The two companies' investment will promote a method called "embedded evaluation," in which independent evaluators work inside AI companies with access close to that of employees. Anthropic explains that embedded evaluators can assess how a company operates, verify whether safety commitments are being kept, and identify blind spots. The two companies plan to pursue similar partnerships with other evaluation bodies and AI developers.

Anthropic Weighs New Model Launch Ahead of IPO to Counter OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra

Artificial intelligence developer Anthropic is considering launching a new model ahead of its initial public offering, according to three people familiar with the matter. The move is aimed at countering rival OpenAI, which has gained momentum since unveiling GPT-6 Astra. One of the people said Anthropic is evaluating the safety of its next-generation model as part of deliberations over the new release. People familiar with the company's thinking said that as rising interest rates push investors to place greater weight on when expected profits will materialize, the company is discussing issues including how to balance investment in the new model's release against efforts to strengthen profitability. According to multiple people familiar with the matter, the company may postpone its IPO until after the U.S. midterm elections in November. Anthropic declined to comment.
