Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform stating that he does not predict that defense will automatically lead over offense, but believes that cybersecurity will ultimately trend towards a favorable outcome for defense, although the transition process will be very difficult.He pointed out that "good people discovering vulnerabilities in released software before bad people" does not belong to a game where defense has the advantage. To truly tilt the game towards defense, a deeper methodological shift is needed, including formal verification, radical reduction of the Trusted Computing Base (TCB), etc., and currently, these shifts have only just begun. He also stated that this is an important reason for his friendly attitude towards slowing down or pausing AI development, and called for investing more than 1% of GDP into cybersecurity, biosecurity, and the fortification of the physical world.

Anthropic recently submitted a draft AI safety bill to U.S. lawmakers, which has been questioned by U.S. AI safety advocates. The draft sets a high threshold for the government to urgently halt dangerous models, requiring that risks involve scenarios such as biological weapons, cyberattacks, or AI going out of control, and potentially causing more than 50 deaths or serious injuries, or losses exceeding $1 billion; some provisions may also limit state government regulatory authority.Nathan Calvin, the strategic head of the AI safety organization Encode, subsequently compiled Anthropic's decisions over the past year. In February of this year, the company modified its previously strict safety policy: it had previously committed to pausing training or releases if safety measures did not keep pace with model capabilities, but the new policy no longer requires the company to independently halt R&D at higher risk stages, citing that competitors might take advantage of the opportunity. During the same period, the company invested heavily in computing power, formed a chip team, and allowed Claude to take on more AI R&D tasks.On October 21, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei posted a lengthy rebuttal on X. He acknowledged that the company had made some mistakes but insisted that competing for cutting-edge AI capabilities did not violate its safety mission, stating that the company adheres to a race-to-the-top approach, believing that only by staying at the forefront of technology can it drive the industry to raise safety standards. He listed nine safety decisions that had cost the company commercially, including restricting the Mythos-level model's open access for months and strictly limiting biology-related requests. The safety roadmap updated by the company on October 19 states that existing policies mainly target the deployment of dangerous models, and in the future, it may be necessary to directly limit the speed of R&D, with plans to propose relevant policy options by January 15, 2027, or explain why none were proposed.

According to a report by the Korean News Agency, the Chairman of the Financial Services Commission, Lee Ik-yeon, stated that the provisions regarding the shareholding restrictions for major shareholders of virtual asset exchanges in the ongoing "Digital Asset Basic Law" are not influenced by specific individuals, but rather consider the need for exchanges to bear higher public responsibilities after institutionalization.Lee Ik-yeon mentioned during the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee Financial Committee's national governance inspection that currently, South Korean virtual asset exchanges operate under a system of updating declarations every three years. However, after the implementation of the "Digital Asset Basic Law," exchanges will transition to a licensed institutional operation model. He noted that exchanges have infrastructure attributes, thus requiring public nature and responsibility that match their status.Previously, South Korean lawmakers questioned why the original proposal from the Financial Services Commission did not include shareholding restrictions for major shareholders, whether the relevant provisions were influenced by external factors, and pointed out that if enforced, major shareholders and potential acquirers of South Korean exchanges might need to sell shares worth trillions of Korean won.In response, Lee Ik-yeon stated that the government is currently drafting relevant legislation, and the specific content of the shareholding restrictions can be further coordinated during the National Assembly review process, emphasizing that all opinions will be fully reflected in the design. He also mentioned that the government proposal for the "Digital Asset Basic Law" is undergoing final coordination and will be submitted as soon as possible, although no specific timeline has been announced.
