What if an AI did not need to write a single sentence to be useful? That is the idea behind Jev, a new AI model launched by Diogo Almeida, a former OpenAI researcher who says he helped develop the instruction-following methods that became part of the research behind ChatGPT. After two years working quietly on the project, Almeida has launched TypeSafe AI with a very different approach to artificial intelligence.
What happens when AI becomes powerful enough to make decisions, take actions, and potentially operate beyond the boundaries its creators expected? Microsoft wants one thing to be clear: humans should still be in charge. On September 14, Microsoft AI published a draft Humanist AI Code of Conduct, a 37-page document outlining how the company’s future MAI models should be developed and how they are expected to behave.
Artificial intelligence may live in the cloud. But the machines powering it need very real things: Land. Electricity. Water. Cooling. And enormous buildings. And increasingly, those buildings are becoming a problem. Across the United States, the race to build AI data centers is colliding with communities that have already spent decades dealing with pollution, industrial development, and strained infrastructure.
What happens when one of the world's most powerful AI executives is discussing whether artificial intelligence should slow down and the US president suddenly calls him? You put him on speaker. That is exactly what happened on Monday at the All-In Summit in Los Angeles, where Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was discussing the growing debate over AI safety when his phone started ringing. The caller? Donald Trump. Huang answered.
The AI world is asking one big question right now: Are we moving too fast? But US President Donald Trump appears to have a different priority: making sure China does not win the AI race. Speaking during a visit to Ireland on Sunday, Trump dismissed growing warnings about the dangers of rapidly developing artificial intelligence, arguing that some of the predictions are exaggerated.
The debate over how fast AI should develop has just become a lot more complicated. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently called on the AI industry to slow the development of increasingly powerful AI systems, arguing that the technology is advancing faster than society’s ability to manage its risks. But China is not buying it. China’s state-backed Global Times has described Amodei’s proposal as a “Cold War playbook”
AI companies have spent years racing to build smarter and more powerful models. Now, one of the biggest names in the industry is saying something unexpected: Maybe they need to slow down. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has published a new essay calling for the AI industry to “pace the frontier” not stop developing AI but deliberately slow the speed at which its capabilities improve so that safety measures have time to catch up.
Imagine spending billions of dollars building some of the world's most powerful AI models only to discover that someone else may be repeatedly questioning your AI, collecting its answers, and using them to build a competing system. That is essentially the accusation now coming from the United States.
For a while, the AI race was mostly about one question: Who has the smartest model? Now, the question is changing. Who can actually make companies use AI successfully? Google Cloud appears to have an answer: send the experts directly to the companies. On September 8, Google Cloud and Accenture announced a new Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group, a joint initiative designed to help businesses move from experimenting with AI to actually deploying it across their operations.
Imagine paying $200 every month for Claude, barely using it, and then watching your AI allowance disappear. That is exactly what happened to one Claude subscriber in the UK. And the worrying part? He was not even using Claude when the tokens were being consumed.
