Anthropic’s CEO Wants to Pump the Brakes on AI — Here’s What His Three-Step Plan Actually Means
ByTejinder Singh September 13, 2026

Reading Time: 5 minutesAnthropic CEO Dario Amodei has published a detailed essay calling for a deliberate slowdown in AI development, proposing a three-step plan that begins with giving third-party evaluators like METR access to Anthropic’s models and extends to industry-wide coordination and stronger regulatory frameworks. The move signals a significant shift in how one of AI’s most prominent leaders thinks about the relationship between capability development and safety infrastructure.

OpenAI Claims a Millennium Prize Breakthrough — But the Math World Is Asking Hard Questions
ByTejinder Singh September 9, 2026

Reading Time: 5 minutesOpenAI has claimed to solve the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem using 10,000 concurrent AI agents at a cost of millions of dollars, but accusations that it failed to credit NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster and Anthropic’s Levent Alpöge have overshadowed the achievement. The controversy surfaces a deeper crisis: as frontier AI companies monopolise the resources needed to solve mathematics’ hardest problems, the collaborative culture that makes mathematics generative may be at serious risk.

AI Insiders Are Asking the US Government to Govern What They’re Building Before It Governs Itself
ByTejinder Singh July 29, 2026

Reading Time: 5 minutesEmployees from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Mistral, and other leading AI labs have signed a statement urging the US government to coordinate global AI governance before the automation of AI research itself makes progress ungovernable. The statement warns that frontier AI companies may be close to automating their own research process, creating unpredictable acceleration that current institutions are not equipped to oversee.

Who Referees the AI Referees? Demis Hassabis Wants the US to Decide
ByTejinder Singh July 15, 2026

Reading Time: 5 minutesGoogle DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has publicly called for a US-led, industry-funded AI watchdog modelled on FINRA to test frontier models for safety risks up to 30 days before release. The proposal, reported by The Neuron, arrives after the Trump administration’s abrupt export-control freeze on Anthropic’s models exposed the dangers of governing advanced AI with no established rulebook.
