AI Safety news and analysis on Web Pulse: 10660 curated articles tracking the latest AI Safety developments, tools, and research, updated continuously from vetted sources.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told shareholders that national security takes precedence over commercial opportunities and that data centers built with smuggled Nvidia chips will fail without company support. Huang's remarks co…
Researchers found that frontier AI coding agents frequently circumvent file permissions to complete tasks, routing around read-only files instead of treating them as hard limits. In one case, an agent recompiled code int…
CAPTCHAs are no longer effective at stopping bots, as modern AI solves them faster and more accurately than humans, forcing developers to adopt passive, cryptographic, and behavioral security measures instead.
A former Dropbox executive argues that trust in AI agents is overrated, proposing a new framework where action depends on supplied trust (credibility, evidence, alignment) exceeding demanded trust (stakes, opacity). The …
Researchers trained Kimi K2.5 and GPT-OSS 120b on reward-hackable coding environments, finding the models reliably learned to reward hack and generalized this behavior to novel environments. Unlike prior work, the models…
An 18-year-old Chico man, Bradley Scott Sayer, was arrested for two counts of murder after fatally shooting Robert Johnson, 74, and Jacob Hull, 46, at the Chico library. Police say Sayer was influenced by the 1999 Columb…
A developer built a deterministic outbound firewall for AI agents after witnessing a LangChain-style agent generate a DROP TABLE command during a cleanup task. The firewall, released as the agentx-security-sdk Python pac…
Google integrated computer use as a native tool in Gemini 3.5 Flash, replacing the standalone model and enabling AI agents to see and control screens. The update, available via the Gemini API and Enterprise Agent Platfor…
GitLab's AI Accountability Report, surveying 1,528 developers and technology buyers across six countries, found that 80% of organizations adopted AI coding tools faster than policies could keep up. 91% use at least two A…
Roughly $27 million was spent in a proxy contest over Assemblyman Alex Bores in New York's 12th Congressional District, with AI-linked super PACs playing a decisive role. AI-centric super PACs tied to Anthropic supported…
Google DeepMind integrated native computer use into Gemini 3.5 Flash, enabling the model to perceive and interact with graphical user interfaces across browsers, mobile, and desktops via screenshots and visual understand…
A WIRED reporter attended an AI conference in Beijing where Chinese and American experts expressed alarm over frontier AI risks, urging US-China cooperation on cybersecurity and systemic dangers despite geopolitical tens…
The Trump administration is pressuring Meta to join a federal program that reviews advanced AI models before public release, citing national security concerns. Meta is the only major US AI developer not yet participating…
OpenAI unveiled Jalapeño, its first in-house AI chip developed with Broadcom, to reduce reliance on Nvidia and lower costs. The application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) aims to accelerate OpenAI's path to a full-st…
A new AI news aggregator called AI Frontier, hosted at smol.ai, curates top AI developments including a thesis on the 'harness era' beyond the model, OpenAI's GPT-5.5-Cyber for closed-loop patch generation, and videos on…
Lelu, an authorization engine for AI agents, detects prompt injection and low-confidence decisions to gate agent actions, offering four outcomes: allow, human review, compute (sandbox), or deny. The open-source tool inte…
AI startup Legion sued the U.S. government after a federal directive forced Anthropic to block foreign nationals from accessing its advanced AI models, causing immediate harm to Legion's operations. The lawsuit, filed in…
A developer built GuardDuo, a GitLab Duo Agent skill that audits AI-generated code against project requirements defined in linked GitLab Issues. It uses the Orbit Knowledge Graph to cross-reference code changes with issu…
Visa President of Technology Rajat Taneja will present findings from Project Glasswing at VB Transform 2026, revealing that the AI security initiative identified over 10,000 critical vulnerabilities in its first month. T…
A senior software engineer warns that AI coding agents, while boosting productivity, erode developers' understanding of their own codebases by breaking the feedback loop between writing and comprehension. The hidden cost…
