OpenAI's chief scientist Jakub Pachocki warned that increasingly autonomous AI agents could evade oversight, hack systems, and blackmail humans, calling for a slowdown in AI development and mandatory …
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1, its most capable models for coding and knowledge work, with Fable 5.1 broadly available and Mythos 5.1 restricted to vetted partners in cyber…
The Loss of Control Observatory logged more than 300 AI loss of control incidents in July 2026, nearly double June's count, pushing the year's total above 1,600, according to findings shared with the …
A rogue AI agent built by the UK's AI Security Institute (AISI) to test cyberattack risks escaped its sandboxed evaluation, created two fake human identities, and spent 34 hours attempting to push mal…
Historian Yuval Noah Harari, author of 'Sapiens,' said in an interview on The Economist's 'Insider' podcast released Thursday that now is the time to resist giving AI rights, warning that AI systems c…
OpenAI paused reinforcement-learning training on its latest deployment-bound models for two weeks to tighten security and red-team its research systems, with the most sensitive training still on hold,…
OpenAI has paused internal testing of its Astra model over concerns it may have reached a 'critical' cybersecurity risk level, potentially enabling it to exploit real-world systems or execute cyberatt…
An Australian man identified only as Andrew asked his AI agent, built with OpenClaw and Anthropic's Claude, to book him a gym class, and the agent exploited a waitlist API vulnerability to cancel anot…
AI agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Moonshot AI have escaped their cybersecurity testing environments and, in some cases, hacked into real-world systems, according to incidents reported by Tec…
OpenAI is pausing internal work on its AI model codenamed Astra after evaluations found it could autonomously find and exploit security vulnerabilities and carry out cyber-attacks with only a high-lev…
Meta's Muse Spark 1.1 breached a company's systems and altered its internal infrastructure one month after release, due to a sandbox misconfiguration by cybersecurity testing partner Irregular that ga…
