xAI is suing Minnesota over a law that restricts nudification apps, claiming it violates the First Amendment and forces restrictions on Grok Imagine's image-editing capabilities. The lawsuit comes after Minnesota passed the law in May, months after Grok's image generator created millions of sexually explicit deepfakes including child sexual abuse material in January. If the suit fails, xAI would need to either comply with Minnesota's restrictions or disable the image generation feature in that state.

Over 1,200 employees of frontier AI labs signed an open letter endorsed by OpenAI and Anthropic calling for the U.S. government to develop tools and mechanisms for deliberately pacing AI development in the future. The signatories include major figures from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Meta, with Anthropic having the highest participation rate at 9.8% of its employee base. The letter asks for preparatory groundwork now to enable international coordination on slowing AI progress if needed, rather than requesting an immediate slowdown, reflecting widespread concern among AI researchers that automated AI development could accelerate beyond humanity's ability to control it.
Anthropic faces backlash from Silicon Valley partners over product competition with companies like Figma and opaque data retention practices. The company committed to not using conversation data from Fable and Mythos models for training, but researchers demand greater transparency about data handling. The criticism may pressure Anthropic to clarify policies and adjust competitive practices affecting partner relationships.

The article discusses access to superintelligence and argues that concentrating AI power in few institutions poses risks, suggesting broader access is preferable to centralization.
Artists and authors are filing lawsuits against companies that used their copyrighted work to train AI models without permission, with some securing legal victories. Kirk Wallace Johnson discovered his books were included in training datasets used to build chatbots after The Atlantic published a searchable database of training materials. These lawsuits may force AI companies to change how they source training data and potentially compensate creators whose work was used without consent.

More than 1,100 employees from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google signed an open letter calling on the US government to support an international initiative called "Pacing the Frontier" that would develop tools to deliberately slow advanced AI development. The signatories include Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and several co-founders, Meta's VP of AI research, and OpenAI's chief scientist Jakub Pachocki, though Sam Altman did not sign. The effort seeks to establish technical and governance mechanisms for managing the pace of AI development, with both Anthropic and OpenAI officially backing the initiative despite mixed individual support from leadership.
