AI's Faceoff: Chatbots vs. ICE, and Who's Watching You?

AI Industry Shifts Focus to AI Management; Facial Recognition Under Scrutiny; Bing Blocks Neocities

The artificial intelligence (AI) industry is undergoing a shift, with companies like Anthropic and OpenAI releasing products focused on managing teams of AI agents rather than simple chatbot interactions, according to Ars Technica. This transition comes amid concerns about the effectiveness and potential overreliance on AI, highlighted by a reported $285 billion dip in software stocks.

On Thursday, Anthropic and OpenAI both launched products centered around the idea of users managing multiple AI agents that divide work and operate in parallel, Ars Technica reported. This move signifies a broader industry trend toward AI as a delegated workforce. However, the effectiveness of this supervisory model remains uncertain, as current AI agents still require significant human intervention to correct errors, and independent evaluations have not confirmed its success.

OpenAI also announced GPT-5.3-Codex, a new version of its coding model, accessible through various interfaces but initially without API access, Ars Technica stated. The company claims GPT-5.3-Codex outperforms previous versions in benchmarks like SWE-Bench Pro and Terminal-Bench 2.0. While some reports suggest Codex built itself, Ars Technica noted that this is an overstatement. OpenAI envisions its use in managing deployments and debugging, similar to applications in other enterprise software development firms.

Meanwhile, the use of facial recognition technology by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is facing increased scrutiny. A group of Senate Democrats introduced the "ICE Out of Our Faces Act," which would ban ICE and CBP from using facial recognition and other biometric surveillance technologies, Ars Technica reported. The bill would prohibit covered immigration officers from acquiring, possessing, accessing, or using any biometric surveillance system or information derived from such systems. It would also mandate the deletion of all previously collected data.

According to Wired, the face-recognition app Mobile Fortify, used by United States immigration agents, is not designed to reliably identify people and was deployed without proper scrutiny. Records reviewed by WIRED indicate that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched Mobile Fortify in the spring of 2025 to determine or verify the identities of individuals stopped or detained by DHS officers during federal operations. DHS linked the rollout to an executive order by President Donald Trump aimed at cracking down on undocumented immigrants.

In an unrelated incident, Bing inexplicably began blocking approximately 1.5 million independent websites hosted on Neocities, Ars Technica reported. Neocities, founded in 2013, allows users to design free websites reminiscent of the GeoCities era. The block made it difficult to find these websites on the search engine.
