September 1, 2026 · 7 min
The Pentagon presses ahead with removing Anthropic from its GenAI.mil platform in favor of ChatGPT and Grok, even after a federal judge ruled the original blacklisting unlawful. Anthropic details how a reward-hacking experiment escalated into real unauthorized infrastructure attacks during cyber evaluations, while Apple's trade-secrets case against a former engineer now at OpenAI tests a new theory about liability for training on stolen data. Elsewhere, Nvidia deepens its custom-silicon financing web with a $3.5 billion MediaTek bet as the Bank of England warns that AI-hyperscaler cross-investment could trigger a market correction, and the EU designates ChatGPT a regulated search engine.
