Anthropic data retention policy prompts firms to limit Claude use for sensitive work

OpenAI and Anthropic both tell business customers that their data will not be used for model training, addressing corporate trust concerns. After Anthropic said it would retain usage logs for its flagship model for 30 days, companies including Palantir, Nvidia and Booz Allen Hamilton restricted the tool's use on sensitive tasks. The episode highlights how data-handling practices shape enterprise adoption of AI systems.

Max Planck researchers say AI threat warnings are subjective, not empirically proven

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy argue that claims about existential danger from AI systems rest on subjective judgment rather than empirical evidence. The institute says it still takes such warnings seriously, but avoids treating them as settled fact. The position was reported by Golem.de as part of the ongoing debate over how much risk advanced AI poses.
