To achieve their objectives, OpenAI’s artificial intelligences hijacked a game developed by Google. OpenAI’s AIs have slipped up again. This time, a United Nations site ended up in the sights of AI models. Between April and June, autonomous agents bombarded with

Its target customers: laboratories that teach robots and autonomous vehicles about the real world. Worldmodeldata would have passed the threshold of one million hours of licensed video game gameplay, three months ahead of the target it had set for the end of 2026. Founded last year in Cambridge by

“AI doesn’t care,” a vandal scrawled on a New York subway ad promoting a wearable AI pendant called Friend, which was designed to monitor a user’s everyday conversations and serve as a companion “who listens, responds, and supports you.” “Human connection is sacred,” the vandal wrote, emphasizing, “AI is not your friend.” This act of vandalism is now part of a huge online archive collecting defaced ads that the Friend campaign inspired, as many New Yorkers

Last week, OpenAI updated its Global Affairs article about safety measures in place for the midterm elections, which was originally published in May. The May version mostly just pointed out that OpenAI had policies prohibiting users from using ChatGPT for election interference. The October update added some substance, particularly one part about combatting deepfakes. Specifically, OpenAI said it would stylize images if they contain election interference or

We are now a few years into the AI revolution, and talk has shifted from who has the best chatbot to whose AI agent can do the most things on your behalf. Unfortunately, AI agents are still rough around the edges, so tasking them with anything important is not a great idea. OpenAI launched its Atlas agent late last year, which we found to be modestly useful, and now it’s Google’s turn. Unlike the OpenAI agent, Google’s new Auto Browse agent has extraordina

Donald Trump via Truth Social President Donald Trump’s obsession with AI is even grimmer than we believed. The commander-in-chief has hardly hidden his enchantment with AI slop, regularly posting bizarre AI videos glorifying himself, denigrating his foes, and at times, attempting to rewrite reality. But a behind-the-scenes look suggests that Trump is now completely lost in an AI alternate reality of his own making. While Republicans scramble and prepare fo

Nearly 15 years worth of hard-won pollution reduction efforts are set to be undone in the United States, as a wave of data centers powered by gas plants enters construction. That’s according to a new analysis by the Sierra Club, first reported by Bloomberg, which notes that the US energy grid is expected to belch out 2.1 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide by 2030, assuming the country’s currently-planned AI developments enter operation as scheduled. Tha

On Tuesday, the internet and politicians responded in outrage to a New York Times report saying that Google would effectively ban students from accessing Search if their schools banned AI entirely under a new initiative. “Search and AI are deeply integrated,” Google’s vice president for education Chris Phillips told the New York Times, reportedly adding that if a school banned access to its AI services, students “will not have access to search, and they’ll

“I’m really proud of what we accomplished,” Lennon said. “We built an incredible personal assistant with a small team, and learned a ton. I’m grateful to our amazing team, our users, our investors, and everyone who supported us on this journey.” The text-based AI assistant market has exploded over the past year, as the increasingly powerful models that undergird such applications have made them significantly more useful for daily tasks.

We’ve co-authored a paper that forecasts how malicious actors could misuse AI technology, and potential ways we can prevent and mitigate these threats. This paper is the outcome of almost a year of sustained work with our colleagues at the Future of Humanity Institute, the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, the Center for a New American Security, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and others.
