Former OpenAI executive Fidji Simo has been appointed to the board of AI-infrastructure startup Nscale while remaining a part-time advisor to OpenAI. Anthropic’s new threat-intelligence report details how it thwarted multiple attempts to misuse its Claude model for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biological-weapon research and fraud. OpenAI has asked Congress for guidance on a potential industry-wide slowdown of cutting-edge AI development, citing antitrust concerns.
