OpenAI tightens privacy and slows training, AI-driven PLC threats, and compute as an asset class

Claire and Peter unpack a big day for AI governance and risk. OpenAI reaffirms Zero Data Retention for eligible API customers and previews Private Safety Processing, aiming to strengthen safety without weakening privacy, while separate reporting suggests OpenAI has paused and delayed parts of frontier reinforcement learning work to tighten security and safeguards. They also cover a major US joint advisory warning of active threats targeting Siemens S7 PLCs, with attackers using AI to speed up exploit development, plus a 500 billion dollar push with Nvidia and major financiers to treat compute capacity like an investable asset class. Finally, Meta launches a dedicated Mac app for its AI assistant with window sharing and dictation, raising new enterprise policy questions, alongside quick hits from Google Gemini, Alexa Plus, Calendly, Replit, and research on tacit collusion in reasoning agents.
