A coalition of 42 state attorneys general opened an investigation into OpenAI. New York served a subpoena on June 12 demanding documents on advertising, user data, model sycophancy, and the treatment of minors and seniors.

Florida sued OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman on June 1 over child-safety claims, and the company already faces lawsuits over copyright infringement and ChatGPT's alleged role in user suicides and delusions.

The timing stings. OpenAI filed confidentially for an IPO just days earlier, reportedly valued as high as $1 trillion, so the subpoena lands right as it tries to sell investors on stability.

Meta began dismantling its $2 billion purchase of startup Manus, cutting the company off from internal systems and halting data sharing. It is the most concrete step yet toward complying with Beijing's divestiture order.

China's National Development and Reform Commission ordered the reversal in April on national security grounds. Regulators argued that offshore incorporation does not shield a deal when the underlying technology and talent originated in China.

Manus relocated to Singapore before the deal, a move critics called "Singapore washing." It did not work. Now its founders are reportedly trying to raise $1 billion to buy the startup back from Meta.

In an internal memo seen by Reuters, Mark Zuckerberg told staff Meta made mistakes overhauling its workforce around AI. He promised more stability and ruled out further company-wide layoffs in 2026.

The admission follows May's restructuring, when Meta cut about 10% of its global staff, close to 8,000 people, and moved 7,000 others into AI roles. Zuckerberg keeps pouring hundreds of billions into the technology.

Meta plans to walk back the wide manager oversight it just created. One new AI unit reportedly ran a 50:1 ratio of workers to managers, and Zuckerberg is also boosting offsite budgets to lift morale.

The US Commerce Department barred all foreign nationals from accessing Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, the first export control on a commercial AI model. Anthropic disabled both worldwide to comply.

The Wall Street Journal reports Amazon cybersecurity research sparked the move, after CEO Andy Jassy flagged it to the White House. Amazon researchers used prompts to pull information from Fable 5 that could aid cyberattacks.

Here is the awkward part. Amazon has poured roughly $13 billion into Anthropic, so it just helped sideline the flagship product of its own biggest AI bet. Some researchers also dispute the jailbreak label.

Between 2021 and 2025, Chinese universities revoked or suspended 12,200 undergraduate programmes and launched 10,200 new ones. That reshuffle touched more than 30% of all degree programmes nationwide, per Ministry of Education data.

The cuts hit arts, humanities, languages, and management hardest, while new majors track Beijing's priorities. Nine universities added programmes in embodied intelligence as youth unemployment tops 16% and AI reshapes the job market.

Some of the scrapped majors only opened a few years ago, during an earlier overhaul, so they barely had time to graduate anyone. One researcher warns that swapping majors is a short-term fix at best.
