President Donald Trump is determined to leave AI companies to their own devices when it comes to building safety guardrails. But tech executives and former government officials say they’re skeptical the accord will lead to tangible changes because the stipulations aren't legally binding and likely aren’t much different from what the companies are already doing. The accord underscores a simmering tension between some major AI companies and the Administration over safety guardrails: Executives such as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei

Days after Sam Altman and other AI executives joined calls for a slowdown of artificial intelligence development, OpenAI disclosed additional instances of its models going rogue over the past six months. The company published a blog post last week detailing six instances of models acting in “unexpected or concerning” ways since April.

Democratic consultants are privately encouraging their battleground candidates to avoid talking about artificial intelligence regulations out of fear that powerful tech groups will unleash a tidal wave of spending against them ahead of November. That guidance came from strategists in three separate top-tier House races, according to people involved in those races, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal conversations.

A mother’s viral post criticizing Meta’s AI for compiling details about her young daughters has sparked a debate on what privacy looks like in a future where technology can instantly build dossiers on people by crawling the internet. Kalie Robins, a Utah mom who posts videos about her family’s travels, uploaded a clip of herself singing in the car, her daughter in the background, when she saw a prompt underneath the post asking: “Who’s the child passenger?” Robins thought Meta wanted to verify her daughter’s identity, and she clicked to deny the request.

Researchers at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI and the university’s RegLab recently published a study demonstrating how large language models can help identify discriminatory local laws. The AI system helped human reviewers identify thousands of local statutes that could violate anti-discrimination laws by treating people differently based on race, gender, and citizenship. HAI fellow Daniel E. Ho, who helped conduct the study, said AI is well-suited for the task because of the sheer scale of local laws.

President Donald Trump tried to shut down a burgeoning push for the United States to further regulate artificial intelligence, saying the U.S.

The increasingly urgent pleas from leading tech executives to slow the advance of artificial intelligence are confronting one daunting obstacle: It’s not entirely clear how they could do that. A slowdown could involve releasing frontier models less frequently, requiring approval before deploying systems with powerful cyber or biological capabilities, giving independent monitors access to AI labs, or negotiating limits with China.
