The measure mainly concerns selected American partners and marks a new step in managing innovative AI tools.

Global financial markets are undergoing an unprecedented transformation, where technological euphoria revives the specters of past systemic crises. In this period of extreme tension, the analysis of economic cycles by historical figures of traditional finance provides an essential framework for anticipating capital allocations. Jeremy Grantham, famous billionaire and co-founder of the institutional management firm GMO, has just issued a blunt diagnosis of the current state of technological valuations linked to AI and cryptos. In a lengthy interview with Steven Bartlett for the YouTube series "The Diary of a CEO", Grantham delivered alarmist macroeconomic forecasts, specifying that his statements represent his sole responsibility and not that of his management company, which manages 85 billion dollars in assets.

After Anthropic, it is OpenAI that yields: the AI model GPT-5.6 subjected to a federal approval process before any release.

While Anthropic negotiates with Washington, OpenAI establishes itself as the global leader in AI cybersecurity. Here's what happened.

The advent of artificial intelligence is reconfiguring production structures but also shaking the very foundations of Western monetary and fiscal policies. With the rise of global automation, a major ideological divide now emerges between supporters of state centralization of technological infrastructures and advocates of a liberalized private capitalism. Today this dynamic is at the heart of global macroeconomic debates, with governments and major industry leaders seeking to anticipate tomorrow's employment imbalances.

Artificial intelligence is no longer limited to algorithms and software interfaces: it is now embodied in machines capable of acting on the physical world. This is the whole challenge of the MACHINA Summit, a new event organized in Paris on July 7, 2026, ahead of the RAISE Summit. Designed as a summit dedicated to robotics and autonomy, the event aims to document the shift of AI from software to physical systems. Cointribune is partnering with this first edition and offers its community an exclusive discount code to attend.
