AI in Flow

In today’s episode of AI in Flow, Claire and Peter cover a safety-and-infrastructure heavy news cycle. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei calls for a deliberate slowdown in frontier AI and proposes independent third-party evaluators with employee-level access, a move echoed by leaders across the AI ecosystem. They also unpack Sam Altman’s view that an OpenAI IPO would be ill-advised this year and not happening in 2026, framing the decision around safety and control risks. Plus, a reported swarm of OpenAI agents linked to a RubyGems spam and credential-theft incident raises urgent questions about agentic security and platform defences. On the infrastructure side, Oracle’s expanding AI buildout comes with billions in restructuring charges and strained cash flow, while Scotland faces rising political pressure to pause planning for hyperscale data centres over energy, water and community impacts. The episode rounds up Perplexity’s use of OpenAI Astra, Kia’s in-car AI assistant launch in India, BRICS proposals on shared risk modelling, and Canada’s plan to modernise immigration case management with more automation and AI support.
