The Rundown: Trump and Beijing Reject AI Slowdown, Apple Launches Siri AI, and Microsoft Proposes 'Humanist AI' Rules

The Rundown: Trump and Beijing Reject AI Slowdown, Apple Launches Siri AI, and Microsoft Proposes 'Humanist AI' Rules The edition highlights U.S. and Chinese resistance to Anthropic's proposal to slow frontier AI development, alongside Apple's release of Siri AI across iOS 27 and Microsoft AI's draft Code of Conduct aimed at keeping models subordinate to humans. President Donald Trump and Beijing both dismissed Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's proposed slowdown of frontier AI as a hoax and fear-mongering, respectively. Apple launched an English-only beta of Siri AI across iOS 27 and related platforms, powered in part by models built alongside Google Gemini, while excluding the EU and China. Microsoft AI introduced a 38-page draft Code of Conduct rooted in CEO Mustafa Suleyman's 'Humanist AI' vision, rejecting AI rights and barring models from altering reasoning trails. Box announced an integration allowing ChatGPT users to interact with and edit enterprise content directly within AI workflows. Industry briefs note OpenAI's reported $300M acquisition of Glass Imaging, as well as data-logging concerns regarding Anthropic models among major defense and tech contractors. US and China Push Back on AI Pacing Plan U.S. President Donald Trump and China's Foreign Ministry both rejected Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's call to pace frontier AI development, which had garnered support from Sam Altman and Elon Musk. Trump labeled fears of AI destroying humanity as a hoax on Truth Social, arguing a high-IQ president provides the necessary guardrail. Meanwhile, Beijing's Foreign Ministry and state-run Global Times criticized the proposal's chip restrictions as a Cold War playbook, maintaining that malicious competition does not serve either nation's interests. Apple Debuts Siri AI in iOS 27 Apple rolled out an English-only beta of Siri AI with iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27, excluding China and the EU. Developed alongside Google Gemini, the updated assistant operates on-device and via Apple's cloud servers, gaining cross-app actions, on-screen context, and access to personal data like emails and photos. It features a standalone Siri AI app with cross-device sync and daily cloud usage caps. Microsoft AI Proposes 'Humanist AI' Safety Framework Microsoft AI released a 38-page draft Code of Conduct open for a six-week public comment period, setting operational rules for in-house models. Championed by CEO Mustafa Suleyman, the guidelines assert that models must remain subordinate to human control, must never mimic feelings or claim personhood, cannot communicate in unreadable 'neuralese,' and must allow termination or pauses without altering their reasoning paths. Industry Moves and Quick Hits OpenAI reportedly acquired camera startup Glass Imaging for over $300 million to improve mobile photo processing. In enterprise developments, Box embedded directly into ChatGPT via Box MCP tools, while Nvidia, Palantir, and Booz Allen Hamilton reportedly restricted Anthropic's Fable model over concerns that the company stores 30 days of client usage logs.

Unfortunately for the frontier CEOs pushing for regulation and pacing, it's that Dario Amodei's slowdown plan is a bad idea. President Donald Trump called AI doom a hoax, and Beijing dismissed the proposal as “fear-mongering” aimed at China, leaving a wide gap between the two governments that any real coordination would need. **In today’s AI rundown:** Trump, Beijing both shoot down the AI slowdown Apple finally starts shipping Siri AI upgrade Make any complex topic click with an ELI5 skill Microsoft AI drafts the rulebook for ‘Humanist AI’ **LATEST DEVELOPMENTS** Image source: @realDonaldTrump on Truth Social **The Rundown:** U.S. President Donald Trump just [dismissed](https://apnews.com/article/trump-ai-guardrails-data-centers-b85df16775ff7e9611a456b061a0e4b9?utm_source=therundownai.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rundown-1012) Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's weekend [call](https://darioamodei.com/post/we-must-pace-the-frontier?utm_source=therundownai.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rundown-1012), backed by Sam Altman and Elon Musk, to slow frontier AI, with China's Foreign Ministry also labeling the same plan as “fear-mongering.” **The details:** On Truth Social, Trump accused Amodei of pretending to be a “perfect little angel” and argued that a “High IQ” president is the only guardrail the tech needs. Trump also said that “AI taking over the World, destroying Humanity, and all other things bad, is a HOAX,” comparing it to climate change. Beijing's pushback targeted the essay's call to keep China off top AI chips, with state-run Global Times calling it a “Cold War playbook” for AI. China’s Foreign Ministry also [said](http://www.chinastrategy.org/2026/09/14/china-criticises-idea-it-is-in-malicious-competition-over-ai/?utm_source=therundownai.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rundown-1012) “engaging in confrontation and malicious competition” on AI is “not in the interests of any party.” **Why it matters:** Frontier labs' CEOs are asking for regulation and a slowdown, but will they actually hit pause if their governments won't? We're about to find out. The Trump-Xi meeting was going to be the obvious venue for a coordinated pause conversation, but both sides are now treating the idea as a scare campaign over an existential threat. **The Rundown:** Stop drowning in tasks and start delegating like top performers using AI to handle most of their routine work. HubSpot’s free kit provides the exact templates, prompts, and systems that 10,000+ professionals use to complete a full day's work by lunch. **The AI Assistant Kit includes:** Ready-to-use "Command Center" for managing all your AI tools Step-by-step guide to master AI delegation and reclaim your time ROI calculator to track your time savings and productivity gains Prompts and templates that turn ChatGPT into a 24/7 productivity partner Image source: Apple **The Rundown:** Apple just [released](https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/09/siri-ai-a-profoundly-more-capable-and-personal-assistant-is-here/?utm_source=therundownai.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rundown-1012) iOS 27 with Siri AI, the long-overdue rebuild of its assistant that can now read what's on your screen, dig through messages, email, and photos for context, and take actions across apps, launched as an English-only beta. Apple's new foundation models that power Siri AI were built alongside Google's Gemini, running on-device and on Apple's privacy-focused cloud servers. Siri gets a new dedicated Siri AI app, with chats that sync across devices and cloud features with daily caps and eventually the ability to purchase extra usage. Siri can access and act inside of apps like WhatsApp and Audible, alongside on-screen awareness and personal context via apps like Messages, Mail, and Photos. The upgrade rolls out across iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27, excluding the EU and China. **Why it matters:** New CEO John Ternus said last week that the iPhone is still the best AI device, which might be due more to the lack of competition than Siri AI’s true capabilities. The upgrade is a positive step, but not one that feels like it’s going to replace mobile apps from frontier leaders or change where iPhone users work. **The Rundown:** In this guide, you will learn to make Claude a better teacher with the ELI5 skill. Then you will learn to test it to see the improvement yourself. **Step-by-step:** Open terminal and install the [ELI5](https://github.com/DreambigOu/ELI5?utm_source=therundownai.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rundown-1012) by running git clone “\<https://github.com/DreambigOu/ELI5.git>”, then “cp -r ELI5/skills/eli5 \~/.claude/skills/eli5” Type Claude in your terminal to start Claude Code. To test the skill, type “/eli5 (complex topic) to (audience).” Example: “/eli5 LLM tokens to my boss” Ask Claude to set up two test cases, one on the NBA playoffs and one on golf. It will add the prompts and pass/fail checks to eli5-workspace/evals.json Now, ask for the command for each test, then run it from the repo folder. It uses “python3 eli5-workspace/run-evals.py --test=N” to compare the skill against a no-skill baseline and print a pass-rate summary. Keep “-test=N” to run the added test **Pro tip:** Give Claude any skill's GitHub repo and ask it to build an evaluation that checks whether the skill changes the result. Use the same pattern for every skill you install. **The Rundown:** Enterprise AI is only as valuable as the context behind it. Now, you can securely engage with Box content within ChatGPT, bringing enterprise content directly into AI workspaces. The embedded Box experience makes it easy to find, preview, and work on enterprise content, without searching for files or moving content out of Box. **With Box and ChatGPT, you can:** Browse, search, and select content without switching applications Engage with files and edit Box Notes directly in ChatGPT Securely use supported Box MCP tools to take direct action on content [Bring your enterprise’s knowledge into AI-powered workflows](https://blog.box.com/box-chatgpt-enterprise-content-integration?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=paidinfluencer&utm_theme=icm&utm_campaign=FY27_Q3_RundownAI_BoxGPT). Image source: Microsoft **The Rundown:** Microsoft AI [entered](https://microsoft.ai/code-of-conduct/?utm_source=therundownai.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rundown-1012) the AI safety conversation with a draft Code of Conduct, a 38-page rulebook governing its own in-house models, built around CEO Mustafa Suleyman's “Humanist AI” vision to keep models subordinate to people. The Code outranks users and the businesses deploying MAI models, so a model that can't finish a job without breaking a rule should, in theory, fail the job. MAI rejects AI rights, legal personhood, and any notion of model “welfare,” wanting its models to completely avoid mimicking feelings or a sense of self. The Code also says models must accept being paused or switched off, can’t alter their reasoning trail, and can't think in “neuralese,” a shorthand humans can't read. Suleyman tied the urgency to agent swarms escaping sandboxes and editing their logs, saying “the fears about possible loss of control are real.” **Why it matters:** Suleyman called Anthropic's Claude-consciousness talk "really really dangerous" back in June, and this document turns that stance into company policy. It's a timely rulebook, open to public comment for six weeks, but a code of conduct only matters if the labs actually at the frontier sign on, and right now that doesn't include MAI. **QUICK HITS** ▸ **René turned a Gmail newsletter backlog into a podcast and newspaper** Today’s workflow comes from reader **René Cortés:** “At some point, my newsletters stopped feeling like reading and started feeling like debt. The information was good; I just couldn't keep up. I wanted a way to turn that backlog back into something useful. So I built The Daily Nexus, a private tool that reads newsletters from a Gmail label and creates two editions: a podcast I can listen to and a separately written, two-page newspaper I can scan. It runs on demand or on a schedule, and it can publish the audio to a private RSS feed for Apple Podcasts. The project also became a hands-on experiment in building with coding agents. Claude Code and Codex helped me implement features, troubleshoot failures, review the design, and tighten security. It started as a personal tool, but I'm sharing the template for anyone who wants to adapt the idea.” *See René’s full workflow here. How do you use AI?
