IPO Fever, AI Safety Lawsuits, and the New Bot Attack Surface

Claire and Peter break down a packed day in AI: Anthropic’s reported confidential IPO filing and the trillion-dollar valuation chatter—and what going public could mean for transparency, pricing, and vendor risk. They cover Florida’s lawsuit against OpenAI and Sam Altman over alleged safety failures affecting minors, and the knock-on implications for enterprise AI governance, contracts, and incident response. Plus, a cautionary security story as hackers reportedly exploited an AI support bot tied to Instagram account recovery, highlighting how AI agents with privileged actions become a fresh attack surface. Rounding out the briefing: China-linked efforts to access Nvidia H200 compute via leasing and brokers, expanded Chinese trade secret rules covering data and algorithms, Qualtrics’ push from CX insight to automated action, insurance AI consolidation, supply chain concentration around chips, the unglamorous importance of data integration, and why aggressive AI adopters may still be hiring.About Six & FlowSix & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.
