The launch of NVIDIA GPU rental price futures, seen as a key step to turn AI computing power into an investable asset class, is facing hurdles. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) had hoped to roll out the computing power futures contract as early as early October, but now expects it will not secure regulatory approval by then. According to a letter, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which oversees futures markets, is extending its review to delve into how such contracts operate and solicit feedback from a wider range of industry players. The CFTC noted that while a computing power financial market could support the development of U.S. AI, the underlying market is fragmented and opaque. (The Information)

Microsoft (MSFT.O) will continue reviewing shareholder proposals ahead of its next annual general meeting, a move requested by activist Paul Chesser to protect investor rights amid the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) planned tightening of shareholder proposal rules. According to reports, Microsoft will retain the current threshold for investors to submit resolutions, even as the SEC considers related changes – which critics say would marginalize groups that have held sway for decades, including individual investors, religious organizations, and labor unions. The one-year agreement could effectively counter the SEC’s efforts to shift power from investors to executives. Chesser hopes Microsoft’s action will set a governance model to ensure retail investors have a voice. A Microsoft spokesperson stated that in light of the SEC’s announcement of a review of its shareholder proposal regulatory framework, the company agreed to maintain the current eligibility threshold for one year to provide a clear, predictable process for the next proxy season.

OpenAI plans to have third-party institutions review the security risks of its AI models at the early stages of their development cycle, as part of its ongoing efforts to address growing public concerns about the technology’s potential harms. The company announced in a blog post on Tuesday that it will allow external organizations to conduct technical security assessments on its models during the training, evaluation, and launch phases of new AI models. OpenAI also outlined priorities to ensure such reviews operate effectively, including "robust independence mechanisms, scientific rigor, sound security measures, and clear division of responsibilities." Lama Ahmad, who leads the company’s collaboration with external experts on security reviews, noted that previously OpenAI typically invited such groups to conduct security assessments before model release and evaluated their capabilities. "As risks rise, we need to focus not only on deployment issues but also on high-risk stages like training and evaluation," she said.
