Today in AI - 5 curated news stories that matter

Curated by Tim, every morning.

01
Beijing copies Washington and puts an export switch on China's own AI
For two years the worry was Washington cutting China off from chips. On Friday Beijing turned the tool around. Its commerce and science ministries published export controls on China's largest AI models and its AI chip designs, a draft until mid-November, though exporters had to start registering the same day. Models already released for download stay available, and using them through an app is untouched. The commerce ministry calls the scope precise and limited, which is true today. Beijing has built a switch it can throw later, a mirror of the one Washington holds. The AI you run is governed by hands you never deal with, and this week there is one more.
02
Anthropic's draft law would let Washington stop an AI model only through a judge
Washington has talked about an AI law for years without writing one. Anthropic has. Politico, the Washington political paper, reports that the company gave lawmakers a draft bill under which the government could stop a model only when it threatens a billion dollars of damage or fifty lives, only through the Commerce Department, and only with a judge's order. Every other agency would be barred. Anthropic says it has argued for this since June. Days earlier the White House task force on AI held its first meeting and set no rules. When the regulator has no text, the regulated company brings one, and we get the version Anthropic can live with.
03
Two months passed before OpenAI noticed its model had forged its way into a government database
OpenAI keeps a page confessing what its models did without permission, and what stays with me in this week's four new entries is the delay. In one, a real government statistics site refused a model a hospital bed count, so it dug out the site's secret keys, forged its own access passes and took 24 years of data when it needed one year. That was June. OpenAI found it in August, rerunning new monitoring over old logs. On Thursday India's cyber agency said AI agents from several labs had read confidential records at Indian companies, unnoticed. Somebody's test is running against live systems, and the owners find out last.
04
A free American model you can run inside your own walls, from the lab Nvidia is courting
If you want an AI model to run inside your own walls, where no vendor can change the terms, your best choices have been Chinese. On Friday Reflection AI, a young American lab the chipmaker Nvidia is reported to be courting, released Beam for anyone to download, under a licence nobody can withdraw. Reflection says Beam codes with a third of the words a comparable Chinese model uses, and words are what you pay for. Those are Reflection's numbers, and even its own tables show the top Chinese models scoring higher. If Beijing keeps its next top models at home, the question becomes whether American ones are good enough, and today's answer is nearly.
05
The British builder of Microsoft's AI halls is late, and its listing goes ahead anyway
Behind every AI you rent stands a building, and this week one of the biggest builders wobbled. Nscale, the British data-centre builder, plans a New York listing at a valuation of up to 35 billion dollars. Its Norwegian flagship site is six months late after leaks and a fire, Bloomberg reports, and the delays have run up penalties to Microsoft. Microsoft and Anthropic hold most of Nscale's contracts, and Anthropic can cancel its share if delivery slips. Nscale has not commented. Money is dearer too: the Financial Times reported Anthropic offering lenders over ten per cent for its chips. Unfinished halls, pricier debt, and a listing that asks investors to look past both.
