Trump signed an AI executive order giving the government a 30-day look at new frontier models before the public. Bernie Sanders says the public should own half of OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI.
Four stories about who controls AI this week: a voluntary federal model-review order, a proposal to put the public on the cap table, an AI defending critical infrastructure, and an attacker turning the same code skill against the supply chain.

If you use AI tools, the government just set up a channel to look at the most powerful new models for up to a month before you ever touch them, and it did it without giving itself the power to block a release.

2. Bernie Sanders says the public should own half of OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI.
If you have ever typed a question into ChatGPT or Claude, Sanders' argument is that you and everyone like you are part of what trained these systems, and so the public should hold a stake in the companies built on that.

3. Anthropic put its vulnerability-hunting AI into the hands of the people who run power, water, and hospitals in 15-plus countries.
If you get electricity, drink tap water, or have ever been treated at a hospital, the software running those systems is now being scanned by an AI built to find the holes attackers would use, and this week that defensive tool reached a lot more of the organizations that run them.

4. An attacker poisoned 32 Red Hat code packages in 72 seconds, and anyone who installed one should assume their secrets are gone.
If you or anyone on your team installs open-source code, and almost every app, website, and internal tool is built on it, then this week a package that looked completely official was actually malware that grabbed credentials the instant it landed.
