OpenAI has asked a California court to dismiss lawsuits related to the Tumbler Ridge shooting, arguing any legal action over the deaths and injuries should take place in British Columbia. The company's lawyers filed the motion seeking to move the case out of California jurisdiction. Separately, OpenAI announced it is flagging concerning new AI behavior and committed to tracking such developments more closely.

A national backlash against AI-enabled license-plate readers, known as flock cameras, is uniting conservative and progressive communities. The Wall Street Journal reported that opposition to these surveillance tools spans both Trump-supporting regions and progressive strongholds, representing a rare point of agreement across polarized political lines.

The U.S. government website used an AI search tool from China that the FBI said copied technology from Anthropic, Reuters reported. This revelation raises concerns about foreign AI technology being embedded in federal digital infrastructure.

Anthropic disclosed three metrics designed to help AI companies monitor the pace of development: AI-led research and development output, oversight of AI agents, and compute allocation within the company. The metrics aim to provide standardized benchmarks for assessing AI advancement while managing potential risks.
