Illustration Australia accepted 18 recommendations from a rapid review of OpenAI's June breach of Services Australia, without releasing the report. The review recommends mandatory, time-bound AI safety reporting and possible criminal law changes for failure to prevent AI harm. OpenAI will not face criminal penalties over the Medicare hack, though the prime minister called the privacy impact minor.
Illustration Anthropic is reportedly moving ahead with IPO plans, with a valuation range to be set this week and trading to begin on Thursday or Friday of next week. Investors may look to the valuation to gauge the AI boom, while some institutional investors are pushing for a figure below the $1.5 trillion target discussed last week. That target was already below the $2 trillion floated a few months ago.
Illustration Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison said on an earnings call that AI could be the biggest creative unlock in modern history, with a bigger impact on film than CGI. He cited Terminator, which cost $4 million to make but would cost $60 to 70 million shot for shot today, and said AI tools could make budgets more digestible. Ellison said AI will significantly reshape the company's business, while premium IP and live events are more valuable.
