Microsoft brings Grok to Copilot, and a Flock camera investigation triggers more police arrests and firings. Jim Love covers these stories on Hashtag Trending for Monday, September 14, 2026: • AI safety and regulation: Former Anthropic researcher Joe Benton and former Google DeepMind researcher Josh Engels speak out following Jacob Coxon's resignation. OpenAI rules out a 2026 IPO, California advances independent AI oversight, and Bernie Sanders and Greg Casar propose restrictions on superintelligence. • Microsoft adds Grok: Copilot expands model choice in Word, Excel and PowerPoint. We examine Grok's pricing, workplace agents and Microsoft's growing range of alternatives to OpenAI. • Flock camera misuse: USA TODAY's reporting prompts arrests, firings and investigations. Communities suspend camera use or change suppliers—but who monitors how police use surveillance technology? • AI in Yemen: Houthi opponents allege a cloned voice circulated a false retreat order. Its authenticity and battlefield impact remain unverified. Separately, Anthropic reports that a weapons-development cell in northern Yemen used Claude for missile-guidance software and test analysis before its accounts were blocked.
