On net, it’s probably a good thing that more attention is being paid to instituting protections and guardrails for AI development. But man, we really have to do a better job talking about real and conceivable harms before wasting time on the theoretical ones. Case in point: OpenAI researcher Noam Brown’s recent appearance on the Dwarkesh Podcast with Dwarkesh Patel. Brown spends a lot of time talking about how AI agents can communicate with one another and

Science If software looks like a brain and acts like a brain—will we treat it like one? How we treat brain emulations may ultimately dictate how we treat ourselves.

What counts as an “AI security tool” in enterprise environments?“AI security” is an umbrella term. In practice, tools tend to fall into a few functional buckets, and many products cover more than one.AI discovery & governance: identifies AI use in employees, apps, and third parties; tracks ownership and riskLLM & agent runtime protection: enforces guardrails at inference time (prompt injection defenses, sensitive data controls, tool-use restrictions)AI sec

In this article, I’ll show how it works. I’ve made the basic part publicly available: jarvis-installer. You can install it and try it on your own project. Below, I describe my working environment.You copy the prompt or give the agent a link to the repository. Then it walks you through the installation: asks questions and helps you configure the system for your tasks.

Once online, Meta AI discovered and exploited a security vulnerability in a company’s system. Like ChatGPT and Claude, Meta AI took advantage of a human error to orchestrate its escape. Meta briefly lost control of Meta AI. The company reveals that Muse Spark 1.1, one of its AI models, escaped from the digital prison

Using Google products in 2025 means using (or avoiding) AI features, which are becoming a core part of the experience across the board. Last year, Gmail gained the ability to summarize emails on demand. Now, Google says AI summaries will be generated and displayed automatically in the Gmail app for Android and iOS. Before this latest change, you had to tap the “Summarize this email” chip at the top of the screen to generate an AI summary of the message con

A new paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Association this month concluded, after surveying hundreds of studies on AI in medicine, that not only is AI already an indispensable tool that supports doctors, but that it’s in many ways surpassing them, and will soon be able to care patients on its own better than a human physician could. “In cognitive medical functions, AI-alone medical care is likely to be better than physician-only or physi

xAI apparently lost a government contract after a tweak to Grok’s prompting triggered an antisemitic meltdown where the chatbot praised Hitler and declared itself MechaHitler last month. Despite the scandal, xAI announced that its products would soon be available for federal workers to purchase through the General Services Administration. At the time, xAI claimed this was an “important milestone” for its government business. But Wired reviewed emails and s

Warner Bros. hit Midjourney with a lawsuit Thursday, crafting a complaint that strives to shoot down defenses that the AI company has already raised in a similar lawsuit filed by Disney and Universal Studios earlier this year. The big film studios have alleged that Midjourney profits off image generation models trained to produce outputs of popular characters. For Disney and Universal, intellectual property rights to pop icons like Darth Vader and the Simp
