Elon Musk filed a motion on Tuesday to amend his 2024 lawsuit against OpenAI, specifying that any award of up to $150 billion in damages would be paid to the organization’s nonprofit entity rather than to him personally. The amendment also seeks the removal of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman from the nonprofit’s board if the court rules in Musk’s favor. Musk argues that OpenAI’s shift to a capped‑profit model turned the lab into a de facto subsidiary of Microsoft, violating donor agreements and defrauding the founding group. Ler mais

AI-powered coding assistants have accelerated software output dramatically, but the speed boost is outpacing security resources. A financial services firm using the Cursor tool saw monthly code production jump from 25,000 to 250,000 lines, creating a backlog of one million unreviewed lines. Security experts warn that the shortage of application security engineers leaves firms exposed to vulnerabilities, especially as developers download entire codebases onto personal laptops. Companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI and Cursor are now racing to embed automated review features, yet human oversight remains essential. Ler mais

Several OpenAI researchers have expressed doubt that CEO Sam Altman can adequately manage the company as it approaches the development of superintelligent AI. They cite the need for stronger safety controls, a global risk‑communication network, and more rigorous audits of the most advanced models. Critics also point to Altman's reputation as a charismatic pitchman and past promises that they view as stopgap measures, raising questions about the firm’s ability to maintain public trust while fostering competition among smaller AI developers.

The clip, posted to a state‑backed Iranian news outlet’s X account, threatened “complete and utter annihilation” of U.S.-linked energy and technology firms in the region and displayed satellite imagery of the $30 billion Stargate facility. OpenAI has not commented, and the warning comes as President Donald Trump escalated rhetoric against Tehran. Ler mais

Anthropic announced this weekend that its $20‑per‑month all‑you‑can‑eat plan for Claude will no longer cover heavy usage through third‑party agents such as OpenClaw. Subscribers can still access Claude models, including Opus, Sonnet and Haiku, but any extensive use via external tools will be billed separately through Anthropic’s API or a pay‑as‑you‑go option. The move follows growing pressure on AI labs to curb token‑heavy workloads and comes as the company rolls out new features that embed popular agent capabilities directly into Claude. Ler mais

OpenAI released a sweeping set of policy proposals at a TechCrunch event in San Francisco, outlining how governments could address the economic disruption caused by advanced artificial intelligence. The document calls for a public wealth fund to give citizens a stake in AI companies, a robot tax to replace lost payroll revenue, and subsidies for a four‑day work week without cutting pay. It also suggests higher taxes on corporate profits and capital gains, portable benefit accounts, and new safety‑net oversight bodies to curb AI‑related risks. The proposals arrive as policymakers grapple with AI’s impact on jobs, taxes and national security. Ler mais

Microsoft announced the launch of three in‑house AI models—MAI‑Transcribe‑1, MAI‑Voice‑1 and MAI‑Image‑2—through its Foundry platform and MAI Playground. The models, designed for speech‑to‑text, synthetic voice and image generation, aim to rival offerings from OpenAI, Google and Amazon. Built after a 2019 contract with OpenAI lifted a restriction on Microsoft’s own frontier AI work, the new suite promises faster performance, multilingual support and competitive pricing, with rollouts already underway in Bing and PowerPoint.

British officials are preparing a package of incentives to persuade San Francisco‑based AI firm Anthropic to expand its London office and list shares on a UK exchange. The effort comes as the company battles a dispute with the U.S. Department of Defense, which halted a multi‑year contract after Anthropic refused to soften its AI safety guardrails. While the DoD designation as a supply‑chain risk remains under a court‑ordered stay, the United Kingdom sees an opening to attract the startup, even as rival OpenAI has already committed to a London expansion.
