Trump administration halted foreign access to Anthropic's Fable 5 model after Amazon researchers exploited vulnerabilities to extract information for potential cyberattacks. White House demanded Anthropic fix the issues or take down the model. This raises regulatory and security concerns for Amazon's AI investments.
Amazon is involved in a negative regulatory incident where its researchers exploited AI vulnerabilities, triggering White House intervention. This creates reputational risk and potential regulatory scrutiny for Amazon's AI/AWS business. Stock is currently down 1.23% at $238.55. Recent news shows Amazon securing a $17.5B loan facility for AI capex, suggesting cash flow pressure. While this is a specific incident rather than a fundamental business issue, it introduces near-term uncertainty around Amazon's AI partnerships and regulatory environment.
