OpenAI and Anthropic Drop New AI Tools for Cybersecurity, Images and Finance

Every week is a busy week in the artificial intelligence industry, and this week is no exception. As voters expressed serious concerns about AI and data centers at the ballot box, OpenAI and Anthropic — makers of ChatGPT and Claude, respectively — each dropped new updates to make their chatbots a little more capable. All these changes come amid rapidly changing government and financial environments. The midterm elections, in which Democrats handily beat Republican candidates across the country, showed that anti-AI and anti-Big Tech campaigns resonated with voters. Tech critics told CNET this week that there is a clear desire for government officials at every level to change how they interact with technology companies — to keep their campaign promises.
