The AI news cycle doesn't do slow weeks. I've been writing about it for more than a year now and this one still caught me off guard. Not because there's been one big breakthrough or story. But because I think there's been a mood shift. People are using AI more than ever, but a growing number seem to wish they didn't have to.
One of the stories I've been watching closely is Anthropic teasing its new model, Claude Mythos. It's described as a major step forward and yet the hype is running ahead of the evidence. Elsewhere, the focus is less on capability and more on broader consequences. Like Val Kilmer's return via AI, which raises questions about consent and the future of entertainment.
Once again, I’ve pulled together the key stories you need to know, plus a few practical prompts to get more out of tools like ChatGPT. Think you know the biggest AI stories from the past week? Take my AI news quiz below to see how much you remember.
