The Age of Polycrisis: What US Boards Need to Know – AXA

Colin Henderson

# # The Age of Polycrisis: What US Boards Need to Know – AXA June 11, 2026 Many organizations recognize the potential impact of major risks that can disrupt their operations and cause significant financial loss, but far fewer plan for such events occurring simultaneously or in close succession. When events occur in a cluster — a “polycrisis” — their combined severity can be long-lasting. Consider this example: A Los Angeles retailer facing a polycrisis, where wildfires threaten store operations, an exceptionally large jury award on an auto claim amplifies liability risks and escalating cyber threats jeopardize sensitive data and … Continue reading The Age of Polycrisis: What US Boards Need to Know – AXA

Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5

Colin Henderson

Anthropic release: Today we’re launching Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class1 model that we’ve made safe for general use. Fable 5’s capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available. It is state-of-the-art on nearly all tested benchmarks of AI capability, showing exceptional performance in software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and many other areas. The longer and more complex the task, the larger Fable 5’s lead over our other models. Releasing a model this capable comes with risks. Without safeguards, Fable 5’s capabilities in areas like cybersecurity could be misused to cause serious damage. We’ve therefore launched the model … Continue reading Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5

8 hours ago A major Japanese cybersecurity firm says it will be granted access to the latest AI model developed by US tech startup Anthropic. Trend Micro, based in Tokyo, on Thursday announced its participation in Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, an initiative aimed at countering cyberattacks using Mythos. US IT and financial giants are also taking part in the program. The Japanese company said it will use Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview. It plans to incorporate the technology into its services and systems to strengthen the rapid detection of domestic software vulnerabilities and responses such as program fixes. Experts say Claude Mythos … Continue reading Major Japanese cybersecurity firm to join Anthropic AI project

When AI builds itself

Colin Henderson

Our progress toward recursive self-improvement, and its implications. For most of AI’s history, humans drove every step in its development cycle. But at Anthropic, we are delegating a growing share of AI development to AI systems themselves, which is speeding up our work. Taken far enough, and given enough compute, that trend points to an AI system capable of fully autonomously designing and developing its own successor. This is called recursive self-improvement. We are not there yet, and recursive self-improvement is not inevitable. But it could come sooner than most institutions are prepared for. Using public benchmarks and previously unreported data … Continue reading When AI builds itself

The EU is attempting to decapitalise its 80%+ dependency on non-EU digital infrastructure by regulating procurement, incentivising domestic production, and legislating cloud sovereignty criteria.

Colin Henderson

Re from today’s briefing : Why it matters: ⚑ This is a structural break, not an incremental policy. The EU is attempting to decapitalise its 80%+ dependency on non-EU digital infrastructure by regulating procurement, incentivising domestic production, and legislating cloud sovereignty criteria. At the same time, Brussels is acknowledging it is in a three-way technology contest with the US and China. Long-term implications for US hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) operating in Europe are significant. Renew Europe bloc called it “a step when we needed a leap” — the debate over how binding the measures will be is just beginning.” … Continue reading The EU is attempting to decapitalise its 80%+ dependency on non-EU digital infrastructure by regulating procurement, incentivising domestic production, and legislating cloud sovereignty criteria.

CoreWeave launches solutions for agentic AI improvement

Colin Henderson

CoreWeave (CRWV) said it has launched unified agentic AI capabilities that accelerate progress toward the superintelligence loop, a closed feedback loop between training and inference. AI inference is a process where a trained AI model uses its learned knowledge to make predictions or conclusions on new, unseen data. The AI infrastructure solutions provider said that with reinforcement learning, production inference, agent observability, and autonomous improvement working as one closed loop, agents not only become more reliable, they compound in capability over time. The company said that until now, training reliable AI agents meant running lengthy offline evaluations for months before … Continue reading CoreWeave launches solutions for agentic AI improvement
