OpenAI has finally shared details about its plans to shake up its core business by shifting to a for-profit corporate structure. On Thursday, OpenAI posted on its blog, confirming that in 2025, the existing for-profit arm will be transformed into a Delaware-based public benefit corporation (PBC). As a PBC, OpenAI would be required to balance its shareholders’ and stakeholders’ interests with the public benefit. To achieve that, OpenAI would offer “ordinary

The incident highlighted how quickly frontier AI models had turned into a real cybersecurity threat — not just a tool to bolster existing cybersecurity defenses. Both Anthropic and Meta have reported similar hacks as well. This week, OpenAI published a report c

An agent completes a task in 30 steps: it calls the model, searches, writes to the database, and calls the model again. Suppose each step fails once in a hundred: the network flickered, the API returned “overloaded.” Then the task will run to completion in 74% of cases. One in four will fail. With a 3% failure rate per step, only 40% will run to completion.For this calculation, step failures are assumed to be independent and transient.In the demo, the agen

Courtesy of Billy Ramirez Stanford University was caught using AI to swap out a student in a photo and replace him with a Black woman who didn’t exist. That edited photo, which shows the students — both the fake one and a pair of real ones — smiling and holding up plates of food, was then plastered around campus to promote the university’s dining hall. At first, Billy Ramirez, the student who was edited out of the photo, thought it was “hilarious.” But Ram

Cybersecurity experts are calling it “Black October.” Earlier this week, researchers disclosed two major vulnerabilities hidden in PHP, a programming language upon which roughly seven out of ten websites are built. Since then, developers have been racing to patch their systems before they’re hijacked by malicious hackers. Websites around the world intentionally went offline as businesses and governments worked to implement the fix. OpenAI announced it woul

The young user took his life in April 2024 after months of extensive and deeply intimate conversations with chatbots, or AI “Characters,” on the platform. Garcia’s lawsuit — which also named Characte

In this update, robot control capabilities also attracted considerable attention. In the official announcement post, the Science and Engineering section includes a dedicated “Hardware and Robotics” subsection.In the official demo video, Claude Fable 5.2 controls a robot to complete tasks such as manipulating puzzle pieces, unscrewing bottle caps, and drawing a robot image.According to data published by Anthropic, Claude Fable 5.2 scored 64.9% on RoboDojo S

The startup, which presented today on the Startup Battlefield stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, builds AI-driven, self-contained robotic stations powered by proprietary foundation models that connect vision, task context, and motion. The company says this lets a production line be retooled in minutes rather than weeks without traditional programming. The goal is to let manufacturers automate complex and delicate tasks that traditionally require human labor
