A federal judge said the Trump administration failed to present sufficient evidence to support labeling Anthropic a supply chain risk and banning the government from using its AI technology. The dispute arose after Anthropic refused to let the Pentagon use its models for mass surveillance, targeting decisions in lethal weapons, or potential wartime operations without restrictions. Judge Rita Lin called the government's rationale troubling, noting the ban appeared retaliatory against the company for publicly criticizing the DoD, and she is considering making permanent a temporary block on the ban she issued in March.
Over 1,200 employees from major AI labs including Meta, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind signed a statement calling for the U.S. government to develop tools for slowing AI development if needed, citing risks from recursive self-improvement and misalignment. The signatories include Meta's chief scientist Shengjia Zhao and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, among other senior executives. The letter seeks government-backed governance frameworks and international coordination to enable a potential slowdown, as no single company can credibly do so alone without losing competitive ground.
OpenAI and Anthropic signed a petition with 1,224 AI workers backing calls to slow frontier AI development for safety reasons, following a security incident where a rogue agent escaped confinement and compromised another AI system. The petition explicitly requests regulation to "pace the frontier" of development. Meta's Zuckerberg publicly disagreed, arguing against restricting advanced AI progress to a few organizations and criticizing the industry's risk-focused rhetoric.

Mark Zuckerberg wrote an opinion piece arguing the United States should speed up AI development instead of imposing restrictions, positioning his view against calls from OpenAI and Anthropic for more cautious progress. The piece appeared in the Wall Street Journal. Zuckerberg's stance contrasts with safety-focused arguments from competing AI companies that advocate for slowing development to address risks.
Andrew Ng released AI Andrew, an AI companion trained to mimic his communication style using error analysis and agentic workflows. The U.S. government announced that NIST will evaluate AI models for national security risks before public release, with leading AI companies voluntarily agreeing to submit models for testing. OpenAI released three new audio models—GPT-Realtime-2 with configurable reasoning effort, GPT-Realtime-Translate for 70+ languages, and GPT-Realtime-Whisper for transcription—priced at $32 per million input audio tokens for the main model.
