Summary
The U.S. AI Safety Institute has reached an agreement with OpenAI and Anthropic to test their new AI models before public release, amid concerns about safety and ethics in the AI industry. The institute was established after the Biden-Harris administration issued an executive order on AI. OpenAI has doubled its number of weekly active users and is in talks to raise funding, while Anthropic was most recently valued at $18.4 billion. Some AI developers and researchers have expressed concerns about lack of oversight and whistleblower protections in the industry. FTC and Department of Justice are set to open antitrust investigations into OpenAI, Microsoft, and Nvidia. California lawmakers have passed an AI safety bill, which is awaiting Governor Newsom's decision.
