We set out who the three are, what the METR link does and does not show, how outside investigators get access to a lab, and what the case means for oversight and for businesses using OpenAI.

US Government’s New AI Chatbot Pulls Back From Debunking Trump

On launch day the US government’s new AI chatbot told users Joe Biden won the 2020 election and that Donald Trump did not inherit record inflation. A day later many of the same questions drew a ‘political commentary’ refusal.

  • September 22, 2026
  • AI News
  • Comment off

President Trump told the United Nations General Assembly on 22 September 2026 that the United States will call artificial intelligence “super intelligence” from now on, and the White House published the line with the word hereinafter attached. The same sentence rejects any “globalist scheme of control” over these systems. This article sets out the exact wording, the capability ladder the rename flattens, which documents a presidential rename can and cannot reach, and why the rejection of pooled international assessment is the part with measurable consequences.

AI Security Is an Engineering Problem — How to Solve It at Every Layer of the Agent Stack

NVIDIA’s chief security officer argues that AI security is an engineering problem requiring defined requirements, enforceable controls, named owners and evidence that protections work. This piece takes each of those four against measured practice: a survey of 750 senior technology leaders in the UK and US found 7.2% have a formally accountable individual, 48% of production agents running unsecured, 54% already hit by an incident, and confidence in visibility rising nine points while monitoring coverage stayed flat. It walks the three-layer model of models, harnesses and runtimes, the worked prompt-injection case NVIDIA uses, the tooling now attached to each layer, and the structural test for telling a real boundary from a guardrail.

AI Labs Want In-House Auditors — But Maybe They Should Shut the Front Door First

Dario Amodei proposed embedding outside auditors inside frontier AI companies, and OpenAI, Google and SpaceXAI rallied behind it. Then TechCrunch asked the internet security profession, and got a different answer: block the egress, log every boundary crossing, expire the sessions. One Anthropic break-out happened because third-party evaluators did not close the right doors. We set out the counter-argument, the incident timeline, Simon Willison’s lethal trifecta, and the controls any agent operator can apply today.
