- New frontier of AI forces Trump's heavy hand
President Trump set out on his first day in office to free artificial intelligence from government constraints. 15 months later, his own White House is preparing to become a gatekeeper for the most powerful new models on Earth. Why it matters: AI has crossed a threshold that no administration — not even one ideologically committed to staying out of its way — can afford to ignore. It's a sea change in both Silicon Valley and Washington, accelerated by a new class of models that can hunt down cybersecurity flaws with extraordinary speed and precision. Anthropic's Mythos , withheld from public use due to safety concerns, was the first model to trigger panic. But with OpenAI's GPT-5.5 now matching its capabilities and Chinese labs racing to catch up, it won't be the last. The intrigue: It was only two months ago that the Pentagon declared Anthropic a "supply chain risk" and effectively blacklisted the company. Now the White House is developing guidance that would allow agencies to get arou

- Designing LLM Pipelines for Clinical Data: A Pattern for ALCOA++ and 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance
Most teams shipping LLM features into clinical-data workflows discover the same problem on the same timeline. The first prototype is fast and convincing — a model reads a messy clinical note and produces a clean structured output. Then the questions start arriving. Can you reproduce the run from last Tuesday? Where’s the audit trail? Why did the same input give a different output? What’s the cost at one million records a day? What happens when the model is wrong, and who is accountable? The prototype that answered the first question well rarely survives the rest. Not because the underlying model is bad, but because the architecture put the LLM in a role that doesn’t fit a regulated environment: as the system, rather than as a component within one. I want to share a pattern that I’ve found holds up under those questions — the architecture for clinical-data pipelines that need to satisfy ALCOA++ and 21 CFR Part 11, while still benefitting from modern language models. It’s a careful arran

- Tuesday briefing: How AI facial recognition in policing works – and how it can go wrong
In today’s newsletter: With the use of facial recognition skyrocketing, there are calls for the rapid development of safeguards Good morning. Over the last couple of days, the Guardian has been reporting that facial recognition technology is being rolled out across the UK at a pace that appears to be outstripping the rules designed to govern it. Police forces are increasingly using live systems to scan members of the public in real time, while retailers are deploying similar tools to identify suspected shoplifters. Advocates of the technology argue that facial recognition is effective and here to stay. Critics warn it risks creating a system where people are monitored – and sometimes wrongly flagged – without clear safeguards.
