Projection, much? Microsoft’s head of AI has accused a rival’s AI service of being too pricey, just as the introduction of usage-based pricing for GitHub Copilot begins to hit developers using its own services. “Anthropic is extremely expensive and I think many people are urgently looking for alternatives,” Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, told Bloomberg News. The spotlight is on the cost of AI services at the moment, with so many different parts of the business using the technology while at the same time many businesses are finding it hard to report any meaningful ROI. This week, Microsoft at its annual Build conference looked to fight back against this when it announced seven new AI models, emphasizing the lower cost. The company hopes that cheaper AI models will mean more enterprises find that AI projects are viable. In 2025, Gartner reported that many such endeavors would be cancelled by 2027: cheaper implementations could be the way forward. Microsoft clearly sees its own AI

Announcement that ‘policymakers’ need to be convened by US firm viewed as marketing ploy by some experts Anthropic has floated the idea of a worldwide “temporary pause” on AI development – and said it was going to convene “policymakers” to discuss the dangers of advanced AI – in its latest release touting the capabilities of its products.

Recursive self-improvement is a bugbear of AI safety researchers, viewed as the key step for AI to become superintelligent and therefore unleash widespread consequences on humanity.
