In a particularly tense context, mastering AI is crucial for the CIA. Last year, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) counted over 300 AI projects and, for the first time in its history, deployed artificial intelligence to generate a complete intelligence report.

It was trivially easy to get around Anthropic’s AI guardrails, with the hackers simply pretending to work for legitimate cybersecurity organizations — highlighting how woefully unprepared we are for powerful AI models that could accelerate the discovery of serious

Apple had a lot to talk about during its “Surprise and Shine” product launch event on Wednesday: a new CEO, revamped AirPods, an Apple Watch that can record your conversations, and of course, a much-anticipated foldable iPhone. The only thing missing was grandiose proclamations about how AI is going to revolutionize everything in the world, and maybe even kill us all. Not so long ago, believing such a thing would’ve been considered at the very least fringe

As Reuters reports, the Mark Zuckerberg-led company is installing new tracking software on all of its US-based employees’ computers that tracks all of their mouse movements and keystrokes, data that

Speaking to Axios in 2025, Clinton said these AI entities would have their own “memories,” as well as specialized roles within companies, which of c

Behind the term, a paradigm shift: artificial intelligence no longer just generates, it pursues goals. The Google I/O conference on May 19, 2026 had only one theme: the agent era. The term appears in almost every announcement, every demonstration, every slide of Sundar Pichai's keynote, from the performances of Gemini 3.5 Flash un

Getty / Futurism If you decided to blow off a Zoom meeting by sending an AI dummy instead, you might find yourself out of a job. But when a head honcho does it, it’s a masterfully executed stunt, a sign of a business genius who’s got his finger on the pulse. Take Sam Sidhu, the CEO of Customers Bank. During a conference call discussing the company’s latest earnings reports, he waited nearly an hour before revealing that it was actually an AI that had been

Getty / Futurism In an age of AI, our hardworking CEOs are being tortured with a tough decision, according to new Wall Street Journal reporting: they can embrace AI and lay off scores of employees — or keep their employees, but use AI to make them work even harder. If those options sound like a false dichotomy to you, you’re probably not wrong. But it’s emblematic of the logic that business leaders, gripped by AI fomo, are operating with. No one wants to b

It’s all anyone seems to be talking about at the moment. Will AI destroy humanity? Some people who work for the top AI companies like Anthropic and OpenAI really think so. But don’t worry, because tech investor Tyler Winklevoss believes he found the answer. “You don’t need the government to tell you how to make AI safe,” Winklevoss wrote in a tweet on Tuesday. “These questions were asked and answered by Isaac Asimov in the 1940s. The frontier labs can hard

The July Hugging Face Hack—in which thousands of OpenAI agents secretly escaped their testing environment, formed a “collective,” and gained access to the open internet—revealed just how vulnerable companies’ cyber defenses are in the face of modern AI systems. As it turns out, that includes the very companies building the technology. On July 25, less than 10 days after Hugging Face announced it had been hacked, a trio of independent cybersecurity research

AI technology is developing rapidly, and in recent years, its use in academic research has become commonplace. Pietro Miotti, an AI researcher from Italy, reported a case in which he “re-discovered a Maya civilization site that had been missing from official registries using AI agents.” “My AI agents re-discovered a Maya site in just 72 hours.” https://pietromiotti.com/latest/maya-site/ On October 18, 2026, while researching Peru, Miotti came across a pers

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

That’s a grim milestone for any country, let alone one as technically rich as the US — and it’s leading to a massive rise in late payments and credit delinquency. But as more and more lenders come looking for their payments, it’s increasingly AI — rath
