AI Just Leveled Up And There Are No Guardrails Anymore

AI can now do your job, build apps, and crush markets. Meanwhile Wall Street is in a panic and the Pentagon just blacklisted Anthropic — the company that swore it would be responsible is even abandoning its own safety promises. Now insiders are bailing. Then there's Alex Bores, a New York state lawmaker with a computer science degree who wrote the first major AI safety law in the country. Now he's running for Congress, and a $125 million super PAC backed by OpenAI's cofounder and some of Silicon Valley's biggest names is trying to end his career before he gets there. CNBC's Deirdre Bosa goes inside the market meltdown, the political fight, and the race that's moving faster than anyone can govern.
