Top executives from Anthropic PBC, OpenAI, Meta Platforms Inc. and Microsoft Corp. are urging policymakers to scrutinize the extent that artificial intelligence systems are improving themselves and take steps to safeguard the technology, adding to calls within the industry for greater oversight of AI.

Leaders of the world’s biggest artificial intelligence platforms said it’s time to slow the development pace of their most advanced — and most lucrative — models, citing escalating risks of the technology.

OpenAI, Anthropic PBC and SpaceXAI were hit by outages on Thursday, according to user reports and company status pages, disrupting customers of three of the leading US AI model makers.

Anthropic PBC plans to give Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei and other co-founders shares with extra voting power as the firm prepares to make its Wall Street debut, The Information reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

OpenAI executive Brad Lightcap is leaving the artificial intelligence company to start a new project, months after he stepped away from his role as chief operating officer.

OpenAI is pausing some internal work around one of its upcoming artificial intelligence models to implement stricter safeguards after the system was found to be significantly more adept at cybersecurity tasks.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. has agreed to invest up to $5 billion in Anthropic PBC as part of a potential multi-gigawatt deployment of chips for the artificial intelligence startup, deepening ties between the two firms and aiding the Claude maker’s push to meet surging AI demand.

Moonshot’s release is forcing Silicon Valley to reconsider long-held assumptions

Silicon Valley spent much of the past few years feverishly pushing consumers and businesses to inject artificial intelligence into every corner of their lives. Now AI developers want their customers to pay more for the technology they actually use.

OpenAI has agreed to acquire Ona, a startup that offers cloud services to support artificial intelligence agents, part of a bid by the AI developer to make its technology more useful for businesses.
