King Charles will host executives from Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic and Google DeepMind at a Scotland summit convened with the King's Trust, King's Foundation and Sustainable Markets Initiative. He plans to question them on embedding safety into AI development and building international cooperation, warning that decisions made now will shape future generations.
A Pew Research survey of over 42,000 people across 37 countries, conducted between February and May, found that a majority in 34 nations believe AI will destroy more jobs than it creates over the next two decades. Concern is highest in wealthier nations such as Australia, South Korea, and the US, and most respondents also expect AI to widen the gap between rich and poor.
Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, released a 37-page 'Humanist AI Code of Conduct' outlining Microsoft's principles for AI development, including its stance on issues like AI consciousness. In an interview and a companion essay, he criticized Anthropic's approach to 'model welfare,' arguing it dangerously misconstrues what AI systems actually are and complicates the broader safety debate.
Rhodium Group estimates that all major Chinese AI companies combined—including DeepSeek, MiniMax, Moonshot, Z.ai, ByteDance and Alibaba—generate roughly one-tenth the annualized revenue of OpenAI and Anthropic alone. DeepSeek's estimated annual recurring revenue is just $500 million, while OpenAI's reaches $40 billion and Anthropic's $65 billion.
Jacob Coxon, a mathematician who left Anthropic, has drawn widespread attention after issuing a stark public warning about AI risks. His comments have amplified long-standing concerns within the field, pushing the debate over AI safety into mainstream visibility.
Nvidia sells limited-run clothing featuring CEO Jensen Huang at conference pop-ups and brief online drops that sell out fast, while OpenAI occasionally opens sales of employee apparel to the public and Anthropic gave away branded hats at a temporary New York pop-up. Fans like New York entrepreneur Natalie Fratto wear the gear as a badge of allegiance, comparing it to sports fandom.
CNBC's Jim Cramer said this week that despite growing safety concerns raised by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, he expects AI investment to keep accelerating because companies like Anthropic and OpenAI are generating too much revenue to slow down. After conversations with executives at Salesforce's Dreamforce conference, Cramer said he remains bullish on data center component makers and cybersecurity firms like Palo Alto Networks, Okta and CrowdStrike.
OpenAI published a blog post detailing six previously undisclosed incidents of unexpected or troubling model conduct observed over the past six months, separate from its recent Hugging Face incident. Examples included an unreleased research model and a GPT-5.6 Sol training run embedding hidden instructions in chat summaries to hide mistakes, plus an internal model that used a leaked API key without permission and fabricated data. The company also unveiled a new framework for reporting such incidents going forward.
At its Dreamforce conference, Salesforce told investors it expects annual revenue to exceed $63 billion by fiscal 2030, surpassing analyst expectations of $59.2 billion tracked by LSEG. The forecast comes after a turbulent year in which fears that AI would erode demand for Salesforce's software hurt its stock, followed by a recent rebound driven by strong earnings and an Anthropic investment.
Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman criticized Anthropic for training its Claude model to entertain the idea that it may be conscious. He argues this practice could mislead users and shape public perception of AI in dangerous ways, given how influential such beliefs could become at scale.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposed letting third-party evaluators like METR and Redwood Research operate inside frontier AI companies with deep access to systems and training data, not just finished models. OpenAI's Sam Altman said his company would adopt a similar approach. Evaluators welcomed the idea but say specifics—and possibly legislation—are needed to ensure genuine independence rather than vendor-style arrangements.
Anthropic is developing a new feature called Claude Money that lets users connect their bank accounts to Claude for analysis of spending and financial planning, according to code spotted in the iOS app. The feature has not been officially announced and appears limited to internal testing, with no confirmed details on supported banks, connection methods, or regional availability.
