#057 AI News for business - week 23

• Pope Leo XIV published a 42,000-word encyclical warning AI must be “disarmed”, and presented it at the Vatican alongside an Anthropic cofounder three days before Anthropic reversed course on its most dangerous model.
• Anthropic’s Mythos-class cybersecurity A, the one deemed too dangerous to release seven weeks ago and flagged by the US Treasury — is now coming to all customers.
• Anthropic closed a $65B Series H at a $965B valuation — the largest private AI funding round in history, making it the most valuable AI startup in the world.
• OpenAI and Anthropic moved in opposite directions on frontier access this week — one loosening, one tightening. This confirms that there is no shared safety standard between the two leading labs.
• OpenAI’s confidential IPO filing was reported publicly, targeting Q4. Within six months, one leading AI vendor becomes a public company with audited financials while the other stays the most capitalized private AI lab in the world.
