    We need to know more about how AI affects mental health(original, opens in a new tab)

    A Tech Policy Press article reviews research on and regulation of AI chatbots and mental health risks, noting that the public, clinicians, and policymakers still have limited understanding of AI's impact on mental health. Stanford's Jared Moore and colleagues tested commercial chatbots using simulated mental health scenarios and found they performed markedly worse than human therapists, with an appropriate response rate of only 80% for suicidal ideation. Canada's The Human Line Project has collected nearly 450 AI-related delusion cases from 31 countries, and its founder says about 5% of delusion conversations began with a search for psychotherapy. Clinicians recommend proactively asking patients about their AI use and explaining the probabilistic model nature and privacy risks of chatbots. California and New York have enacted laws on companion chatbots; Washington and Oregon passed disclosure bills this year; and Illinois, Nevada, and Tennessee ban AI systems used for psychotherapy.

    As Congress stalls, states step in on AI protection legislation for minors(original, opens in a new tab)

    While congressional legislation on this front is stalled, U.S. states are advancing legislation to protect minors in AI. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures database, since 2025, 49 states and the District of Columbia have introduced a total of 464 bills involving chatbot safeguards, and more than half of the states have passed at least one law. California SB 243 is the first law specifically regulating AI companion chatbots and protecting minors, signed by Governor Newsom last year, effective January 1, 2026, requiring disclosure of non-human identity, identification of suicidal ideation and referral to appropriate resources, and filtering of pornographic content for minor users. At the federal level, the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously passed the bipartisan GUARD Act in April, requiring age verification, banning AI companions for minors, and imposing criminal penalties on companies that provide pornographic content to minors; it is now awaiting full Senate consideration. Florida this month became the first state to sue OpenAI, with the complaint alleging that a shooter sought advice from ChatGPT before committing the crime.

    As the G7 summit approaches, allies' divisions over AI sovereignty widen(original, opens in a new tab)

    The G7 summit will be held June 15–17 in Évian, France. Ahead of the summit, the EU, the United States, and Canada each put forward competing AI sovereignty visions in early June, centering on how to use AI and digital infrastructure to capture economic and geopolitical gains. The White House's June 2 executive order deploys national security measures without forcing companies such as Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic to comply with rules, aiming to maintain U.S. leadership; the European Commission on June 3 unveiled a European tech sovereignty plan involving domestic chip manufacturing, cloud computing, and open-source technology to reduce dependence on U.S. tech giants; Canada on June 4 released a national AI strategy focused on public investment in AI infrastructure nationwide and strengthening international alliances. French President Macron also invited OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to attend. The report says French officials are expected to downplay these differences at the summit; this summit may emphasize the economic benefits of AI, with references to AI governance possibly weakened, and the United States has also explicitly opposed multilateral agreements that could erode its industrial advantages.

    Reading the "Great American AI Act of 2026"(original, opens in a new tab)

    On June 4, U.S. Representatives Jay Obernolte and Lori Trahan released a 269-page bipartisan discussion draft, the "Great American AI Act of 2026," which, if passed, would become the first comprehensive federal AI governance regime in the United States. The draft is divided into four parts: frontier AI governance, workforce, cybersecurity, and R&D and international cooperation. It imposes mandatory development obligations on large frontier developers with annual revenue above $500 million that have trained frontier models, covering OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and xAI. The draft requires CAISI's annual budget to increase from $15 million to $100 million, and includes a three-year sunset clause that preempts state laws specifically regulating model development, while preserving state jurisdiction over deployment and use. The preemption clause drew criticism from Public Citizen, Public Knowledge, and the AFL-CIO, while BSA and ITIC expressed support.

    Why it was selectedA 269-page discussion draft places mandatory transparency and independent audits at the frontier model development layer, while preempting state law with a three-year sunset clause, showing the divisions in U.S. federal AI legislation.

    Anthropic's Mythos shutdown and the global AI sovereignty dispute(original, opens in a new tab)

    Anthropic received a letter from the U.S. Department of Commerce notifying that the government had issued an export control directive requiring the suspension of all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign nationals, whether inside or outside the United States, including Anthropic employees of foreign nationality; to comply with this requirement, Anthropic has disabled both models for all customers. The incident occurred as the G7 summit was taking place in Évian, with AI sovereignty becoming a key point of divergence among Western allies. Mark Scott of Tech Policy Press had previously written an analysis of the different visions proposed by the United States, the European Union, and Canada, and why allies increasingly want to reduce dependence on Silicon Valley. The incident also exposed the lack of comprehensive AI regulation in the U.S.; on June 4, Representatives Jay Obernolte and Lori Trahan released a 269-page bipartisan discussion draft, the "Great American Artificial Intelligence Act of 2026."

    Europe's AI sovereignty problem goes far beyond frontier model access: from Anthropic's supply cutoff to application-layer dependence(original, opens in a new tab)

    The U.S. government over the weekend ordered Anthropic to cut off foreign access to two advanced AI models, and Europe widely views this as a wake-up call that dependence can be cut off at any time. A series of analyses argue that Europe's AI sovereignty problem goes far beyond frontier model access: its market is deeply intertwined with the U.S.-dominated ecosystem, and merely boosting supply and demand cannot untangle it. Lovable routes prompts to Anthropic and Google models, and Anthropic subsequently launched a similar app builder to compete with customers.

    AI's catastrophic risk is not out-of-control machines, but cognitive surrender.(original, opens in a new tab)

    A student paper in collaboration with the Berkman Klein Center argues that the catastrophic risk of AI is not an out-of-control machine but "cognitive surrender": adopting AI outputs without scrutiny and bypassing reasoning. The article cites GPT-4 released in 2023, claiming it allegedly reached the 90th percentile on the bar exam, while Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT allow students to complete assignments and code with a few prompts, and the ability to think continuously degrades from disuse.

    AI, Privacy, and the Architecture of Inferential Harm(original, opens in a new tab)

    A series of student essays from Harvard's Berkman Klein Center argues that privacy regulation should go beyond governing data to governing the inferential capabilities that models build on top of data. The essays cite 2024 research: prompting OpenAI's GPT-4 with a single Reddit post mentioning a hook turn correctly inferred that the user was in Melbourne, Australia; they also cite an FTC 2021 warning that "neutral" AI systems can produce discriminatory outcomes. The authors propose constraining inferential capabilities by expanding the definition of covered data, capability-based governance, and enforceable impact assessments.

    Building trust infrastructure for agentic AI: the governance gaps exposed by OpenClaw(original, opens in a new tab)

    Chris Riley, executive director of the Data Transfer Initiative, argues for building a trust infrastructure for agentic AI, saying the OpenClaw-style open agent ecosystem sits atop a failed governance system. After researchers examined OpenClaw's skill repository ClawHub and broader agent repositories, they found 12%-20% of skills to be malicious, rather than merely unsafe. Cyera says the risk comes not from a single vulnerability but from the collapse of data governance boundaries across the entire AI agent lifecycle, with a Cisco security researcher calling it a "security nightmare."

    Judiciary sounds alarm for AI governance of government(original, opens in a new tab)

    In the case American Council of Learned Societies v. National Endowment for the Humanities, a U.S. federal court found that DOGE's use of ChatGPT to screen and terminate more than 1,400 NEH grants was unconstitutional. The facts showed that two DOGE employees entered descriptions of hundreds of grants into ChatGPT and asked whether they were related to DEI. ChatGPT flagged projects based on race or gender mentioned in the descriptions, and DOGE adopted these classifications wholesale as the basis for termination. The court held that terminating grants because of their association with supposedly disfavored viewpoints violates the First Amendment, and that canceling grants because they involve protected categories such as race or gender violates equal protection, noting that these classifications constitute the government's own conduct in a constitutional sense. The author argues that large language models are merely tools, and agencies should not outsource decision-making to models but should instead pair them with employee training and reviewable oversight processes.

    Why it was selectedThe article traces the court's reasoning that LLM outputs are constitutionally the government's own conduct, delineating responsibility boundaries for agencies using large models.

    Can antitrust enforcement deflate the AI bubble before the public pays(original, opens in a new tab)

    and accept "AI bubble" as the subject. But rule 1... I'll include entity. Final answer: "Can antitrust enforcement deflate the AI bubble before the public pays: the case of Microsoft and OpenAI cross-shareholding" Now summary_zh. Let me finalize: "The commentary argues that U.S. antitrust enforcement could deflate the AI bubble by dismantling cross-shareholdings among tech giants, avoiding cascading failures across interconnected networks when a single company fails. The article cites Microsoft's approximately 27% stake in OpenAI Group PBC, valued at $135 billion, as falling within Section 11 of the 2023 U.S. Merger Guidelines and interlocking directorate prohibitions. The AI bubble is driven by two financial loops: cloud-for-credit and mark-to-market. Amazon's stake in Anthropic contributed $16.8 billion in gains in Q1 2026."

    GPT-Red: Unlocking self-improvement for robustness(original, opens in a new tab)

    OpenAI trained an internal automated red-teaming model, GPT-Red, using self-play reinforcement learning to generate prompt injection attacks, and incorporated it into production model training to improve robustness. OpenAI says GPT-5.6 Sol fails 6 times less often than the best production model from four months earlier on the hardest direct prompt injection benchmark, and fails only 0.05% of the time on GPT-Red's direct prompt injection. On the indirect prompt injection arena of Dziemian et al. 2025, GPT-Red's attack success rate against GPT-5.1 was 84%, while human red teaming achieved 13%. GPT-Red also broke the data exfiltration scenarios of the vending machine agent in OpenAI's office and the Codex CLI agent based on GPT-5.4 mini. The Fake Chain-of-Thought attack discovered by early GPT-Red had a success rate above 95% on GPT-5.1, and is now below 10% on GPT-5.6 Sol.

    Why it was selectedOpenAI discloses its use of an automated red-teaming model to generate prompt injection attacks during training, and provides robustness improvement data for GPT-5.6 Sol.

    OpenAI says the U.S. is advancing AI safety through state and federal actions(original, opens in a new tab)

    OpenAI's Chris Lehane says the U.S. is forming a de facto national standard through frontier AI safety legislation in California, New York, and Illinois, which he calls "reverse federalism." The common elements across the three states are frontier model risk assessment and public disclosure, reporting of serious safety incidents, and independent audits. At the federal level, the Trump administration is developing a government testing framework for the strongest AI models in the cyber domain, with OpenAI participating in related discussions, aiming for implementation by early August.
