    Anthropic Pledges External Safety Audits, Not Model Pause

    Anthropic’s call to “pace the frontier” is now a real policy proposal with one concrete company commitment: Dario Amodei says Anthropic will bring in outside evaluators with employee-like access to examine its safety practices and publish findings. What it is not, at least yet, is a public...

    AI Safety, Government Access, and the Too-Big-to-Fail Claim

    China and Anthropic Clash Over AI Controls, Not a Slowdown

    China’s response to Dario Amodei’s latest AI-policy argument is best understood as a dispute over technological containment and the rules of competition—not as a straightforward rejection of slowing AI down. That distinction matters. Amodei’s proposal combines three ideas that are often...

    NYC Schools’ 2026 AI Moratorium: What It Actually Bans

    New York City Public Schools’ new AI policy is more selective than the shorthand phrase “AI ban” suggests—and that distinction matters for students, teachers, families, and education-software administrators. For the 2026–27 school year, the system is placing a moratorium on student-facing...
