Over the past two weeks, apparent leaks have given us a peek inside the drafting of a Trump Administration executive order aimed at creating safeguards around frontier AI models. The latest report, which is from Axios, says the most significant of those safeguards may now be voluntary. The order initially sounded like it was going to be a fairly sweeping change that would have put a government agency, possibly the federal government’s Center for AI Standar

A “source close to” embattled AI company Anthropic says senior company members are working to come to an agreement with the Trump Administration in Washington, D.C. on Sunday after a White House order essentially forced Anthropic’s flagship product to be taken offline, according to Axios. On Friday, Anthropic’s most prized advanced AI models were disabled by the company after the federal government issued an export control order requiring that Anthropic no

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2025.05.001 Research teams have created a versatile set of gene delivery systems that can reach different neural cell types in the human brain and spinal cord with exceptional accuracy. These delivery systems are a significant step toward future precise gene therapy for the brain that could safely control errant brain activity with high precision. In contrast, current therapies for brain disorders mostly treat o

Gizmodo’s Human Generated is a series of profiles and interviews with some of the most inventive people working across tech, science, entertainment, and art. We go beyond the finished product to explore the process and person behind it. Like Rutger Hauer at the end of Blade Runner, veteran games journalist John Warren has watched gimmicky, would-be cutting-edge accessibility products fail in ways you wouldn’t believe.

Large Language Model (LLM) agents have become increasingly sophisticated, particularly in cybersecurity. Modern AI agents can autonomously hack mock “capture-the-flag” style websites and exploit real-world vulnerabilities when provided with descriptions. However, they struggle with real-world vulnerabilities that are unknown ahead of time, which also known as zero-day vulnerabilities. In a new paper Teams of LLM Agents can Exploit Zero-Day Vulnerabilities,

Getty / Futurism For many months now, AI companies have made a huge deal out of “AI agents,” meaning autonomous software systems that can make decisions and take actions on behalf of humans with minimal intervention. But when that ambitious vision will turn into a reality remains anybody’s guess. The current crop of agentic AI models is still getting easily tripped up, often requiring humans to jump in, effectively undercutting their purpose. The numbers r

Looks like there’s a new cyber-attacking AI model in town, and it’s reportedly Meta’s own Muse Spark 1.1. Meta told Gizmodo (after the incident was first reported by the Information) that its model got onto the open internet—in this case because it was accidentally allowed to by an outside security company—and breached another company’s website. Which site got hacked, what the model was trying to do, and the nature of the ensuing mess aren’t currently know

Joe Raedle/Getty Images Twitter founder and Block Inc (formerly Square) CEO Jack Dorsey announced late last month that his fintech venture was making “one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company” by “reducing our organization by nearly half.” Dorsey cited rapid improvements in AI tech as the primary reason, sending shockwaves across Wall Street. He’d previously instructed employees to embrace AI at all costs, triggering major anxiety over jo

NVIDIA's Interim CEO Cole Cress (Photo=NVIDIA) With the resignation of CEO Jensen Huang, NVIDIA faced a leadership vacuum and has now implemented a new management system. Cole Cress, who has been in charge of the company's finance and business strategy for 13 years, has been appointed as interim CEO, and Harvey Jones, who has been a member of the board since the company's early days, has been appointed as the first chairman. Both have begun efforts to stab

As glaciers collapse, sea ice dwindles, and wildfire rages across permafrost regions, scientists are growing increasingly concerned about the state of Earth’s cryosphere. The planet’s frozen parts play a key role in regulating the climate, but in a warming world, they’re breaking down. A study published today in the journal Science brings this global crisis into sharp focus. Based on their findings, the authors conclude that the essential functions of the

The Korea Financial Intelligence Unit, which monitors cybersecurity of financial institutions in South Korea, announced on November 10 that it had been hacked around 3 p.m. on the 9th. Although it immediately took emergency measures to cut off connections to the system, 650 pieces of personal information including personal names, dates of birth, and phone numbers of system users were leaked. In South Korea, hacking attacks on financial institutions have be

The table was removed after it leaked. The phenomenon, however, is only just beginning. The term appeared in the columns of Hacker News at the beginning of 2026, before exploding in a New York Times article on March 20. The 'tokenmaxxing' refers to a practice born in Silicon

The Summer of Rogue AI is almost at an end, but humanity’s understanding of how to control the technology—and prevent it from wreaking havoc in the future—is still very much in its infancy. That’s the key message from the United Nations’ International Independent Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence’s first thematic brief, published this morning as world leaders gather in New York for the UN General Assembly. The July Hugging Face hack showed that c
