US officials have proposed an AI incident-alert framework in discussions with Chinese counterparts, aiming to mitigate risks while the two powers vie for dominance in artificial intelligence. Concurrently, a legal filing claims that Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX AI and Google entered an unlawful agreement to curb AI progress. The European Commission imposed a $463 million penalty on Google for violating EU location-data regulations.
The Gates Foundation announced a new coalition focused on creating more representative language datasets for AI models. Additional items include concerns over telehealth data leaks, OpenAI’s monitoring of emergent AI behaviors, and Anthropic’s claim that its Claude model is helping design its successor.
