📈 AI STOCK TRACKER
The US tech sector experienced a significant downturn yesterday, with major indices like the Nasdaq Composite falling by 2.6%, which was largely driven by investor concerns over global trade tensions and disappointing revenue guidance from companies like Marvell Technology, leading to substantial losses in prominent tech stocks, including NVIDIA, Tesla, and TSM.

🚨 OpenAI creating alarmist safety culture?
🚨 Our Report — High-profile, former OpenAI head of policy research, Miles Brundage, has accused OpenAI of “rewriting the history” about its old approach to releasing potentially risky AI systems—such as GPT2 (a release which Brundgae was heavily involved with)—and creating a culture where raising safety concerns is seen as “alarmist.”
🔓 Key Points:
OpenAI recently outlined a ‘new’ approach to AI safety, shifting from a “discontinuous world” approach—leading to over-caution with releases—to a “continuous path” that involves “iteratively deploying and learning.”
“In a discontinuous world, safety lessons came from treating systems with outsized caution, which is the approach we took for GPT‑2,” but to make the next system safe, “we need to continuously learn.”
Brundage argued that GPT-2 warranted “abundant caution” (at the time), and OpenAI released the model “incrementally, with lessons shared at each step,” meaning the GPT-2 release already aligned with this ‘new’ approach.
🔐 Relevance — Brundage has taken umbrage with OpenAI’s recent policy document because he believes that (aswell as speaking untruths), OpenAI is “poo-pooing” caution, which he worries will create an environment where legitimate concerns about AI safety might be downplayed, labeled as exaggerated, or seen as “alarmist” meaning people will need “overwhelming evidence of imminent dangers,” to do anything, which is a “very dangerous” mentality for advanced AI systems,” but will speed up product releases, which would help OpenAI’s competitiveness, and its bottom line.

TOGETHER WITH MISO ROBOTICS
NVIDIA CEO: Robotics Adoption “Just Around the Corner”
ChatGPT turned AI from a concept to a household name.
Well, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang says robotics is a “multitrillion-dollar” market with a breakthrough moment “just around the corner.”
Look no further than NVIDIA collaborator Miso Robotics.
Their newest AI-powered kitchen robot, Flippy Fry Station, is 2X faster, 50% smaller, and 75% quicker to install than its predecessor. Major brands like White Castle and Jack in the Box are already lining up for the tech.
And now, with signed orders, new customers on the way, and NVIDIA as a collaborator, they’re scaling this tech at exactly the right time.
Best of all?
Unlike OpenAI, you can currently invest in Miso – but you're officially in the final weeks of being able to do so. Share in Miso’s growth as an investor while you still can.

📜 Anthropic advises Whitehouse on AI safety
🚨 Our Report — AI start-up, Anthropic (makers of ChatGPT rival, Claude), has submitted a set of AI policy recommendations—centred on six key areas, including testing, security, export controls, and energy infrastructure—to the White House in response to its request for a plan to “better prepare Amercia to capture the economic benefits of AI,” positioning it as a leader in AI—while also addressing national security concerns.
🔓 Key Points:
Anthropic supports Biden’s AI Safety Institute—as it’s crucial for AI safety research—and wants the National Institute of Standards and Technology to develop security evaluations to address potential vulnerabilities.
In the interest of national security and maintaining global power, it called for stronger export controls for advanced AI chips—asking for particularly tough restrictions on NVIDIA H20 chip exports to China.
It also recommended that, by 2027, the US should dedicate an additional 50 gigawatts of energy to fuel AI data centers to meet the growing demand for computational power and help advance AI developments.
🔐 Relevance — Anthropic has a reputation for prioritizing AI safety and has shown commitment to the responsible development of AI, so these recommendations will likely carry a lot of weight within the government, especially as they appear to strike a balance between pushing America’s leadership in AI and risk mitigation, however experts have noted that several of the recommendations align with former President Biden’s AI Exective Order (aimed to promote responsible AI development), which Trump revoked on his first day as President, as the reporting requirements were “overly burdensome,” so it will be interesting to see how the Whitehouse will respond to these recommendations.

🔍 Amazon-backed start-up has poor labor standards?
The US Department of Labor (DoL) is investigating Scale AI, an AI data labelling start-up—founded by Alexander Wang, and backed by Amazon and NVIDIA—for its compliance with fair labor standards.
The law addresses issues like unpaid wages and worker misclassification, and an investigation was triggered after Scale received lawsuits from workers claiming they were denied benefits like overtime pay and sick leave.
Scale AI has strongly disputed the lawsuits, but the DoL has established that—while the case could be dismissed—employers found to have violated the law “may be subject to fines and potentially imprisonment.”
