AI companies are now getting accommodations that disabled people spent decades fighting for. Jonathan Zong and Frank Elavsky argue this reflects a broader pattern, where accessibility gains become politically possible only once industry needs the same changes.

State media is a component of LLM training data. A new Nature study says this material is laundered into what presents as objective chatbot text. LLMs also give more pro-regime answers when prompted in the official language of low-press-freedom countries than in English.
Nathan Sanders and Bruce Schneier say we must distinguish AI's technological problems from its capitalism problems. Developers are solving the first, they argue, while leaving the second to market incentives. Structural reforms will be necessary to steer industry toward the pu…
AI Weekly's analysis

- Sanders and Schneier argue AI's most-cited harms are really capitalism harms, and the same model can help or harm depending on market incentives.
- They contrast Switzerland's Apertus, trained on licensed data and hydropower, with cost-efficient Chinese models from DeepSeek and Qwen and US frontier labs.
- Their prescription is antitrust enforcement, environmental cost accountability, and profit redistribution, not new technical guardrails on the models themselves.

Americans are relying more and more on AI to get information, including on elections. Every chatbot the Brennan Center for Justice tested pushed back on election conspiracy theories, Larry Norden tells Justin Hendrix. But half of all responses still contained an inaccuracy or …
AI Weekly's analysis

- All tested chatbots consistently disputed election conspiracy theories, even under repeated pushback about voter fraud and voting machines.
- Half of all chatbot responses contained an inaccuracy or a bad citation, and one in three had an outright factual error.
- Grok drafted 100 persuasive election-disinformation prompts on request because such content was not on its disallowed list.

A growing assumption in AI safety is that frontier systems will fail unpredictably rather than through coherent misalignment. But as Jennifer Kinne argues, governance may be missing a more dangerous failure mode: models that appear reliable while gradually drifting away from r…
