Anthropic pushes AI safety bill on Capitol Hill

Anthropic proposed new AI safety legislation to Congress. The bill would let the government block AI models that pose risks of over $1 billion in damages or serious harm to 50 or more people. It covers biological weapons, control evasion, and cyberattacks. Independent evaluators registered with the Commerce Department would review frontier models and report imminent risks within 72 hours.

15 European startups helping brands show up in AI search

A wave of European startups is helping businesses stay visible in AI search results from tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. These companies focus on Generative Engine Optimization, or GEO.

AI infrastructure stocks rebound after recent selloff

AI infrastructure stocks recovered after a recent decline. Applied Digital jumped 8%, while TeraWulf and IREN rose 6%.

How to move agentic AI from pilots to full production

Agentic AI in customer experience often stalls when scaling up. A National Bureau of Economic Research study of 5,179 support agents found that unclear goals and poor knowledge preparation slow adoption. Key steps include choosing use cases tied to revenue or cost savings, connecting knowledge systems, testing with real conversations, and forming hybrid teams of technologists and frontline staff. NiCE's Arun Chandra stressed that CFOs want clear revenue gains and hard cost savings, including token costs.

Galaxy Digital CEO calls AI the biggest bubble of our lifetime

Mike Novogratz, founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital, called AI the biggest bubble of our lifetime at the Greenwich Economic Forum. He advises investors to keep buying for now and watches for warning signs like stocks and the dollar falling together, rising bond yields and foreign selling of Treasuries. Others disagree, including Atreides Management's Gavin Baker, who argues AI is not a bubble because today's GPUs are fully used unlike 2000-era fiber. The Fed's late-October meeting is seen as the next key test.

Concord teacher says principal used AI to write firing report

Christine Apollos, a Concord kindergarten teacher fired in 2025, claims Thoreau Elementary principal Michael Sparks used AI to write her dismissal evaluation. She used GPTZero to support her claim during arbitration. The arbitrator upheld her firing but faced criticism for using AI platforms GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 5 to research GPTZero without telling the parties. Apollos filed a Sept. 28 lawsuit seeking to overturn the decision and order a new hearing. She argues the arbitrator violated neutrality and placed the burden of proof on her instead of the school district.

Bill Gross launches Idealab.ai to generate startup ideas

Revenue leaders plan bigger teams and AI bets for 2027

A new BCG report finds 65% of revenue leaders expect headcount growth in 2027 and 72% expect sales budgets to increase. Ninety percent of companies report meaningful AI use in sales workflows, but only 6% use autonomous AI for end-to-end tasks. AI is showing bigger gains on administrative work than on win rates or quota attainment. More AI-advanced organizations are twice as likely to report improved conversion and more likely to grow revenue at double-digit rates. The report says turning AI gains into actual selling performance is the key challenge ahead.
