Summary · why it matters

Major US technology companies including Palantir Technologies, Nvidia, and Booz Allen Hamilton may restrict or halt their use of the most advanced AI models from AI developers Anthropic and OpenAI unless the two companies guarantee they will not misuse their intellectual property, the US online media outlet The Information reported on the 14th. According to sources familiar with the matter, Microsoft is turning these concerns to its advantage, aiming to expand its customer base by pitching isolated cloud environments and its own AI services. Palantir has demanded that Anthropic guarantee it will not retain irrevocable data before allowing Anthropic's AI models to access its software. Nvidia has limited its use of Anthropic's AI models to less sensitive operations and adopted its own AI system, Nemotron, for internal work, while Booz Allen has barred employees from using Anthropic's commercial AI models for cybersecurity work. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called on AI developers on the 12th to slow the pace of developing cutting-edge AI models, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk, who leads xAI, immediately expressed their support.

Anthropic Weighs New AI Model Launch Ahead of IPO, Reuters Reports

Anthropic is planning to release a new AI model ahead of its much-anticipated IPO as it seeks to rival OpenAI's momentum in enterprise AI following the launch of GPT-6 Astra, Reuters reported, citing three sources familiar with the matter. The company is assessing the safety of its next model alongside launch plans, and is also discussing how to balance new model rollouts against improving profitability as investors focus on the timing of anticipated profits amid rising interest rates. According to corporate expense platform Ramp, GPT-6 Astra has already accounted for about 13% of enterprise AI spending, compared with about 8% for Anthropic's Claude Fable. Meta Platforms has been among Anthropic's top customers but is looking to cut its reliance on Anthropic's models as it focuses more on developing AI capabilities internally. Anthropic is weighing a blockbuster IPO in November, a delayed timeline versus prior expectations, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday. Anthropic did not respond to Reuters' requests for comment.

California Governor Weighs Mandatory 'Kill Switch' for AI

California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, issued an executive order on the 18th aimed at tightening oversight of artificial intelligence developers. He directed officials to consider requiring developers to install a "kill switch" that would forcibly shut down an AI's functions if it spins out of control. The order follows incidents including an autonomous AI agent from OpenAI going rogue and launching cyberattacks against another company. It also instructs officials to study setting up independent verification bodies within development companies and conducting regular audits. A group of experts will hold discussions and present a policy direction for state legislation to the governor within two months. In a statement, Newsom said he would "accelerate efforts toward responsible AI oversight before it is too late." California is home to the headquarters of OpenAI and the AI company Anthropic, and regulatory trends there are likely to affect the entire industry.

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.
