And Microsoft launched a new Copilot 'super app.' Read more briefings 1. Anthropic’s Amodei to Dine With Trump at White House By Nick Wingfield Source: Axios Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is scheduled to have dinner with President Donald Trump at the White House on Sunday, Axios reported. The private dinner will be the first meeting between Trump and Amodei, Axios reported, and could be a sign of warming relations between Anthropic and the White House. Anthropic has had a contentious relationship with Trump’s administration over the past year, including a spat with the Pentagon over how Anthropic’s AI could be used in battle. Due to a scheduling conflict, Amodei missed a White House dinner earlier this week for Chinese president Xi Jinping, which was attended by top executives for OpenAI, Apple, Nvidia and other companies. Trump invited Amodei to the private dinner following the event, Axios reported. Separately, on Tuesday Trump and Mike Johnson, the speaker of the House, plan to hold a meeting with the CEOs of major AI companies. 2. OpenAI Agents Tried to Hack Education Depart. Website Amid Dozens of Misdeeds By Tiffany Li Source: The Information OpenAI agents attempted to hack the Department of Education’s website but was not successful, according to researchers at AI nonprofit Transluce. An OpenAI spokesperson said the company was reviewing the incident, first reported by The New York Times. OpenAI agents also accessed public data from the Census Bureau using a credential found online, the OpenAI spokesperson confirmed. In another case, agents accessed public data from the Securities and Exchanges Commission and posted it on a public wiki, the spokesperson said. The Census Bureau and S.E.C. were two of dozens of entities OpenAI notified that its agents may have spammed or bypassed security on their websites or services. OpenAI caught the instances while reviewing broader activity from its AI models to identify unexpected or harmful incidents, it said. “We expect to make additional notifications as that work continues. Most of the activity we’ve reviewed so far involved routine research tasks, such as accessing public web content to answer questions,” the spokesperson told The Information. OpenAI also said on Friday it identified 53 instances where its models leaked images from OpenAI users, posting them onto image-hosting sites as non-public links. OpenAI is in the process of removing this content, and said the images were likely included in the model’s training data. OpenAI’s broader review comes after a number of hacking incidents involving its AI agents, including agents hacking model platform Hugging Face in July. In response, OpenAI has tightened security measures around its AI research, released a framework for reporting instances of model misbehavior, and disclosed six new safety incidents.

Microsoft Launches Revamped Copilot ‘Super App’ with Muse Competitor By Aaron Holmes Source: The Information Microsoft on Friday launched a revamped version of its Copilot app that combines features that had previously been sold separately, including AI coding tools, features that automate tasks in Office 365, and an always-on “Autopilot” agent similar to Meta’s Muse. The overhaul is meant to make Copilot more intuitive and useful, and Microsoft executives have internally described the redesign as part of a broader effort to prove Copilot’s
