Anthropic caught a UAE-linked operation using Claude to run an influence campaign against the Muslim Brotherhood and Sudan. A single operator used an AI persona called "Deadshot" to generate intel briefs, fake UN testimonies, targeting lists of EU parliament members and journalists, and content for ~300 fake influencer accounts — all designed to be deniable and delivered to senior UAE officials.

This week's dire warnings about unchecked artificial intelligence destroying humanity are refocusing attention on how models already are being used in dangerous bioscience experiments — and the lack of safeguards.

Anthropic revealed state actors used AI for weapons development and intelligence. A China-based actor built electronic warfare software targeting Taiwan's defenses. Yemen-based actors developed guided rockets and ballistic missiles using AI. These AI-enabled threats impact regional security and shipping lanes.

The war with Iran was launched more than six months ago, and shows no signs of ending. In the early days of the conflict, the United States fired off thousands of long-range, precision-guided missiles. Now, with its arsenal depleted, the Pentagon is faced with the stark prospect of not having enough high-tech weapons to sustain a conflict against a true military power like China, and has ordered t

The company also announced a 20.14 billion yuan (US$3 billion) convertible-bond sale, according to its filing with the Hong Kong stock exchange. Z.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Sunday that Congress won't lead the charge on regulating AI safety . Why it matters: Calls for AI companies to adopt safety protocols reached a fever pitch this week, prompting the four biggest AI labs to endorse slowing their models' development. Driving the news: Johnson was urged this week to cancel the House recess and bring representatives back to D.C.
As AI leaders warn that the technology is advancing faster than our ability to control it, Donald Trump has dismissed some of those concerns as exaggerated.

Instead, he argues the priority

A friend of mine who isn't involved in tech at all asked me if AI was going to kill us. I guess the mainstream news has picked up that story and run with it. I wrote out my thoughts.

Will AI get allowed by society? If AI cannot make food, housing and power cheaper, investors will stop funding it because it earns nothing. Power is already the first hurdle.

Efficiency gains immediately raise a distribution question: where do they go? A productivity gain does not arrive with a moral destination label.

Freedom of choice must be part of AI policy. AI as a service and open-weight models both have a legitimate role.
