Trump makes it clear his power is becoming entwined with AI

The Guardian

I'm your host, Blake Montgomery, writing to you as I sit under yellowing leaves in New York. Donald Trump made a series of moves over the past week that make it clear his power is becoming synonymous with artificial intelligence. The new tight alliances between the White House, the Pentagon, US intelligence agencies and AI companies loom ominously over governments and companies, particularly in Europe, that rely on American AI. Last Tuesday, Trump and six AI CEOs signed what he called a "morally binding" agreement to put controls on artificial intelligence. The vague agreement stipulates a framework for what Trump called "tremendous self-policing", reiterating his point that AI companies can act as their own watchmen.

Trump has gone so far to rebrand the term "artificial intelligence" with the creation of his new task force meant to maintain US' pole position in the industry. To lead the task force, Trump tapped Jay Clayton, the country's director of national intelligence. "The Super Intelligence Force is tasked with coordinating the effort of the Federal Government to ensure that America continues to lead the World in Super Intelligence," Trump wrote in his Truth Social post.

The White House Wants Anthropic to Block All Jailbreaks. That May Not Be Possible

WIRED

Trump administration officials tell WIRED that if Anthropic wants to rerelease Fable 5, it will need to ensure the model's guardrails can't be circumvented. Security experts say that can't be done. The Trump administration's disagreement with Anthropic over its most advanced AI models appears to be fast coming to a head. Trump officials tell Inner Loop that if Anthropic wants to rerelease Claude Fable 5, the AI model that they took offline with export controls last week over concerns about jailbreaking--a method of using prompts to get around a model's safeguards--the company will need to take steps to actually address what the government alleges are vulnerabilities. Anthropic has said for days that the administration's concerns are overblown and that the effects of the jailbreaks are minimal.

In the past, hiring decisions were made by people. Today, some key decisions that lead to whether someone gets a job or not are made by algorithms. The use of AI-based job interviews has increased since the pandemic.
