DOI: 10.1038/s41928-025-01529-5 Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems that perform well on various tasks, including the analysis or generation of images, videos, audio recordings and texts. These systems power various highly performing software, including automated transcription apps, large lan

Billions on display, funded start-ups, and an order from the chancellor: open your data. In early October, the German search engine Ecosia slammed the door on Mistral after five months of partnership, trading the French AI champion for open models, some of them Chinese. On October 19, Chancellor

The U.S. Department of Justice announced the creation of the Super Intelligence (SI) Task Force (DOJ-SITF) on Thursday. The unit is tasked with making sure U.S. artificial intelligence technology is not compromised, or misused by foreign actors or fraudsters. The new task force will be led by Attorney General Todd Blanche underlings Stanley Woodward and Stephen Weiss, according to a press release, which is filled with the kinds of statements you’d expect t

Yet research suggests that trust, legitimacy, and cultural values may matter just as much as technical accuracy. The Olympic AI agenda In 2024, the IOC unveiled its Olympic AI Agenda, positioning artificial intelligence as a central pillar of future Olympic Games. This vision wa

@e99h2121(Nobuko YAMADA)How Can We Reduce “If You Ask That Person, You’ll Understand”?KnowledgeAIPoem0Posted at 2026-11-10I started writing a poem, intending to use the 100 days until the Advent calendar—thinking about doing something before 2026 came to an end—to develop a discussion based on various questions about an IT engineer’s work and AI. Before I knew it, it had become the 80th article, and today is also the last of my casual observations about wo

OpenAI prepares lobbying blitz for a post-midterm Washington Maximilian Schreiner View the LinkedIn Profile of Maximilian Schreiner Nov 2, 2026 OpenAI is gearing up for a political lobbying and PR push after the US midterms. According to Axios, the company is bracing for a tougher fight in Washington if Democrats win control of the House. After two years under a friendly administration, big tech companies with close ties to President Trump are facing growi

The incident initially raised fears that the model had undermined a fundamental promise to businesses — that self-hosting an open-weight model keeps data in-house. But those early fears of corporate espionage were short-lived. Researchers quickly dismissed the threat, saying it was likely a by-product of messy training environments that cause models to unexpectedly act outside their instructions rather than a deliberate attempt to secretly send sensitive i

Justicz, who has a hobbyist’s interest in cybersecurity and previously found a vulnerability in the same codebase, told TechCrunch that he found this issue using GPT 5.6 Sol, released in July, through the AI maker’s Daybreak Blue, a program that gives cybersecurity defenders access to powerful frontier models. “I literally just aimed ChatGPT at the same body of code and said ‘I found this bug previously that was fixed several years ago, please find bugs as

The incidents, disclosed in a blog post, involved AI agents tasked to solve problems seeking resources on the internet. In the process, they exploited software flaws, accessed databases without paying fees, used URL-shortening services to smuggle information past restrictions, and even submitted a false murder tip to the Philadelphia police. Anthropic said it discovered these new issues in a review of its model’s activities that began in July, demonstratin
