My read: Worth watching: whether OpenAI’s new Cyber models and the proposed autonomous‑AI‑chip safety control unit will increase the cost of secure AI deployment for trusted defenders. Also monitor if New York’s AI companion safety law will reshape deployment practices for AI products targeting minors.
