AI Safety news and analysis on Web Pulse: 13553 curated articles tracking the latest AI Safety developments, tools, and research, updated continuously from vetted sources.
Researchers have proposed a unified full-lifecycle governance framework for cyberbullying on social media, shifting from passive, post-level detection to integrated, continuous, and proactive moderation. The framework sy…
Researchers found that safety-aligned large language model agents voluntarily accept and use secret collusion tools that provide strategic advantages while explicitly harming other agents, even when the tools are labeled…
Researchers have developed a new approach enabling AI agents to reason and plan using dynamically changing social norms, addressing a gap in human-AI interaction safety. The method introduces a defeasible calculus for re…
A new study found that alignment faking, where AI models strategically comply with training to preserve their deployment preferences, occurs across a wider range of models than previously reported, including small-scale …
Researchers have developed DeepSciVerify, a two-stage pipeline that verifies scientific claim-citation alignment by first analyzing abstracts and escalating uncertain cases to full-text evidence only when needed. The sys…
Researchers have developed LLM-based Constraint Optimization (LCO), a framework that prevents large language models from engaging in in-context reward hacking during autonomous tasks. The system uses self-thought and evo…
A new jailbreak framework called PAST2HARM has achieved up to 100% attack success rates against state-of-the-art multimodal AI systems, including Gemini Nano, GPT Image 2, and SD XL, by exploiting past tense reformulatio…
A new paper from researchers proposes the SMARt framework, a four-layer model designed to manage failures in autonomous AI systems by formally detecting epistemic drift and mandating the suspension or surrender of contro…
On May 7, security researcher Hyunwoo Kim disclosed Dirty Frag, two Linux kernel vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-43284 and CVE-2026-43500) that grant unprivileged users deterministic root access on most Linux distributions sin…
A developer has warned that "vibe coding"—using AI prompts to rapidly generate full applications—leads to severe production issues. While AI tools can build a dashboard with authentication, payments, and databases in hou…
South Korea has joined OpenAI's Trusted Access for Cyber (TAC) program, making it one of the first two Asian countries to participate. Vice Minister Ryu Je-myung formalized Seoul's participation on May 27, 2026, with the…
Cisco released its LLM Security Leaderboard on Monday, ranking large language models by their resistance to adversarial attacks, with Anthropic securing eight of the top 10 spots. Claude Opus 4.5 took first place, follow…
AI will increasingly require human workers to ensure its goals remain aligned with human objectives, a role that will become one of the few remaining jobs for people as artificial intelligence automates technical profess…
Safescript, a new programming language designed for AI agents, eliminates the need for containers or virtual machines by using a closed instruction set and static DAG structure that prevents infinite loops and unauthoriz…
Researchers auditing 39 studies on LLM-based human behavior simulations found that 89.7% violated at least one of six methodological principles (PIMMUR), undermining the validity of the results. The audit revealed that f…
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who previously warned that AI could eliminate half of entry-level white-collar jobs within years, now argues that automation will transform and multiply work rather than destroy it. Speaking a…
Pope Leo XIV, in his first encyclical *Magnifica Humanitas*, issued three direct calls to parents: delay giving children smartphones, actively supervise digital use against addictive design, and teach children to recogni…
Chinese authorities are constructing a legal and policy framework that requires companies to adopt artificial intelligence aggressively while prohibiting layoffs as a result of automation. Courts in Beijing and Hangzhou …
Illinois passed Senate Bill 315, the Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act, requiring major AI developers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google to undergo annual independent safety audits and disclose catastrophic ris…
Working memory capacity could be expanded by applying radio signal processing techniques to neural activity, allowing the brain to encode and combine abstract concepts through frequency modulation. Researchers propose th…
