- OpenAI Launches AI Futures Blog — and Names Power Concentration as the Core Risk →
On August 20, 2026, OpenAI launched AI Futures — a blog from its new Strategic Futures team asking how free societies preserve individual rights as transformative AI emerges. The opening post names concentration of power as the largest, most serious, and hardest AI policy problem — not misalignment alone.
- Musk Predicts AI Beats All Human Intelligence Combined by 2031 →
In a July 2026 interview with The Economist's Zanny Minton Beddoes, Elon Musk said AI could exceed the sum of all human intelligence by around 2031 — and that humans may lose control of it within a decade. Here's what he actually said, why the reaction was split, and what the prediction changes for people learning and building with AI right now.

Bloomberg reported on August 13, 2026 that Anthropic is in early-stage talks to acquire Israeli AI infrastructure and video-generation startup Decart for approximately $6 billion. Haaretz, Calcalist, i24News, and Yahoo Finance have corroborated the report, but nothing is signed and talks could still fall through. Here's what a deal this size would mean for Claude's compute capacity and inference roadmap if it closes.
