AXIOS (Maria Curi) - Scoop: Trump allies open new front on Anthropic CEO as face of AI "doomerism"

President Trump's allies are targeting Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei as the face of AI "doomerism" and a founding father of the effective altruism movement that's come under increasing political fire. Why it matters: The attacks signal that Anthropic could remain a Trump target as his allies push back on Amodei's AI safety warnings amid the midterm elections. Trump surrogates see Amodei as an easy foil because of his politics and focus on AI safety, sources told Axios. - For investors, it's a worrisome proposition as the company prepares for what's expected to be a record-setting IPO. Behind the scenes: A memo began circulating within the White House this week that seeks to paint effective altruism as a fringe, cultish collective out of…

AXIOS (Madison Mills) - With $7 trillion on the line, AI safety may always take a backseat to market domination

The race for AI supremacy between labs, companies and countries may be impossible to reconcile with the push for AI safety, industry insiders tell Axios. Why it matters: The top AI companies are proposing more independent oversight as they seek to engineer an AI slowdown . But trillions of dollars in incentives to keep pushing the frontier — and the money required for such scaling — will always loom larger, critics say. State of play: As AI CEOs pitch the public on self-policing mechanisms and the use of third-party evaluators to make sure their models behave, those same models are sharing less about how they respond to questions and come up with solutions to problems. - The sheer complexity of AI systems, as well as the deployment…

AXIOS (Avery Lotz) - "National security" becomes Trump's executive sledgehammer

What do a White House ban on journalists, a 250-foot arch near the nation's capital and Greenland have in common? - President Trump needs all of them for national security purposes, he and his administration have argued. Why it matters: As he's unilaterally shattered presidential norms, Trump has justified his sweeping policy priorities with a familiar two-word rationale: national security. Driving the news: On the morning that the three banned outlets (CNN, MS NOW and Politico) sued the administration , Trump claimed that "FAKE NEWS" is "a threat to our National Security." - It's not the first time the administration has said its press restrictions were a national security must: That was also part of the reasoning for new rules for…
