Former President Donald Trump offered positive comments about AI safety company Anthropic, saying the firm is "shaping up." The remarks add to recent political attention on major AI developers.

Trump's statement comes as Anthropic continues scaling its Claude AI model and expanding operations. The company, founded in 2021 by former OpenAI researchers, has positioned itself as focused on AI safety and alignment. Trump's comments reflect broader interest from political figures in the AI sector, particularly regarding how leading companies develop and deploy generative AI systems. Separately, Apple CEO Tim Cook has drawn reactions from observers following recent statements and company decisions. Cook's leadership continues to shape Apple's direction in hardware, services, and emerging technologies. Both developments underscore how tech leaders and their companies remain subject to public and political scrutiny as AI capabilities expand.
