Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon told a rare full hearing of New York City Council that AI companies are ‘extremely reckless’ and cannot control their models. We cover the testimony, the companies’ answers under oath, the subpoena fight, the ten bills including kill switches, $25,000 fines and whistleblower rewards, and what UK firms selling AI into New York should prepare.
President Trump has named Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton as his AI czar and chair of a new Super Intelligence Force. We set out who sits on it, what its 120-day charter asks for, how it compares with Space Force and earlier White House AI bodies, why Clayton calls not being first the biggest risk, and what it means for UK and EU buyers of AI.
Trump has answered rising public fear of AI with a voluntary accord that names no penalty. David Sacks says securities law, board duties and D&O insurance give it teeth. We test each route, show which of the six signatories they reach, apply an economist’s liability-versus-regulation test, compare who the auditors answer to, and set out what buyers of AI should do.
David Robinson resigned from OpenAI saying its culture is broken and that frontier AI labs should run like nuclear power plants. We set out what nuclear safety culture actually involves: the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl lessons, the NRC’s nine traits, resident inspectors, one-hour reporting clocks, whistleblower law, the Davis-Besse failure, what AI labs have instead, and where the comparison breaks down.
California has become the first US state to ban employers from relying solely on AI to fire or discipline workers. We read the signed text of SB 947 section by section, compare it with the version Newsom vetoed in 2025, and set out who is covered, the penalties and a compliance checklist for employers.
Trump’s AI safety accord asks each company for internal controls, an internal team, an outside auditor and a board committee. The structure copies Sarbanes-Oxley but drops the standards body, certifications and penalties. Four of six signatories had already broken rule one, the FTC’s new probe reaches the evaluators, and buyers now have questions to ask.
President Trump and six technology bosses signed a one-page White House accord on 29 September 2026 promising four layers of controls and audits for frontier systems. We set out the text word for word, who signed and who only came to lunch, what the pledge leaves out, how it compares with the 2023 voluntary commitments, the EU AI Act and California SB 53, and what buyers should ask their suppliers.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has asked a Highlands County court to stop OpenAI developing new AI models without independent third-party approval, bar minors from ChatGPT and strip its human-like language. We set out the six requested restraints, the case history, the incidents and insider statements the 49-page motion relies on, the legal test, OpenAI’s response and what it means for businesses.
On Meet the Press, broadcast on 27 September 2026, Bill Gates told NBC’s Kristen Welker that “no one thinks self-regulation is enough” and that Washington must pass AI legislation making safeguards and monitoring “a required thing”. This article breaks his interview into five concrete requirements, explains why he says a kill switch is not enough, and tests the Sanders-Casar ban, the AI Kill Switch Act, the Senate duty-of-care talks, Cantwell’s principles, California’s SB 53 and the EU AI Act against them. It covers Trump’s Department of Justice answer, the US-China AI dialogue, the midterm calendar and what monitoring rules would mean for businesses that use AI.
Japanese anime voice actor Kenjiro Tsuda, known for Jujutsu Kaisen and Yu-Gi-Oh!, has taken TikTok to court over videos he says used AI voice cloning to copy his voice, with the Tokyo District Court due to rule on 30 September 2026. This article sets out the timeline, the account’s reported earnings, TikTok’s “generic male voice” defence, Japan’s publicity-rights and unfair competition tests, the justice ministry’s August guideline, the likely outcomes and how other countries treat cloned voices.
