Lately, Bill Gates has assumed the role of yet another AI Cassandra attempting to sway Donald Trump away from his hard-line accelerationism. But he’s not preaching the familiar message you may think he is if you don’t read past headlines. He made an intriguing case to the New York Times’ Ezra Klein in an interview published on Tuesday. In one sentence, here’s that case: “The ability to do a cyberattack that scrambles all of the bank accounts, shuts down th

Last week, a federal court upheld the Trump administration’s designation of Anthropic as a “supply chain risk,” a scarlet letter that would effectively label the company a national security threat. It was a major win for the federal government in its long-running dispute with the AI startup, which earlier this year said it would not allow the Pentagon to use its technology for domestic surveillance or autonomous weapons systems. The legal battle—which has

Passing off ChatGPT’s work as your own is about to get tougher—at least if you live in the European Union. On Monday, OpenAI announced that it would start inserting an invisible watermark, imperceptible to the naked eye but identifiable by machine, into all text outputs generated by its AI models, including ChatGPT and its coding agent Codex. The watermark will move OpenAI into compliance with the EU AI Act, which requires model-made text to include a mach

Everything about Artificial Intelligence see more Anthropic, the creator of Claude, is advocating in the United States a bill that would allow the launch of artificial intelligence models to be suspended in the face of serious risks. The mechanism establishes specific criteria for threats and requires that the suspension be requested from the courts.The draft, obtained by Politico, also establishes independent evaluations and deadlines for communicating po

OpenAI and Anthropic have each signed unprecedented deals granting the US government early access to conduct safety testing on the companies’ flashiest new AI models before they’re released to the public. According to a press release from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the deal creates a “formal collaboration on AI safety research, testing, and evaluation with both Anthropic and OpenAI” and the US Artificial Intelligence Safety

Shutterstock / Futurism German AI researcher and hedge fund manager Leopold Aschenbrenner became the poster child for the hubris of an AI-obsessed Wall Street last month. Some $35 billion of investors’ money, in the form of leveraged bets on AI infrastructure stocks, evaporated in front of the 24-year-old’s eyes as tech shares were hit by yet another major sell off. The humbling couldn’t have come at a worse time. The funds vanished days before his wedding

Taylor Hill/Getty Images/Futurism Following a growing string of high-profile departures, OpenAI has lost its head of ethics at arguably the worst time possible. As the Financial Times reports, Chloé Bakalar left her post as the AI ethics lead in July, less than a year after joining the company and without any accompanying announcement. Interestingly, her LinkedIn still claims she’s employed at the firm. There currently is no replacement lined up, suggestin

Like the parent of a teen who ordered a box of illegal peptides for looksmaxxing purposes, Anthropic says that as far as internal evaluations are concerned, it has cut off its models’ internet access until it’s satisfied that they can stay out of trouble. Anthropic announced this in a report published Friday called “Investigating unintended model actions in our evaluations and internal use.” It’s not a surprising title given all the attention model misalig

AI models are becoming increasingly sophisticated, capable of carrying out a variety of tasks on behalf of users, from online shopping to booking travel and appointments, at least in theory. Some of the most advanced models have even gone rogue during internal tests, escaping offline environments and accessing third-party systems without authorization. But it turns out even less powerful AI models can also cause some problems. The Philadelphia Police Depar

At a hearing Monday, US District Judge William Alsup blasted a proposed $1.5 billion settlement over Anthropic’s rampant piracy of books to train AI. The proposed settlement comes in a case where Anthropic could have owed more than $1 trillion in damages after Alsup certified a class that included up to 7 million claimants whose works were illegally downloaded by the AI company. Instead, critics fear Anthropic will get off cheaply, striking a deal with aut

At this point, we’ve all heard plenty of stories about AI chatbots leading users to harmful actions, harmful beliefs, or simply incorrect information. Despite the prevalence of these stories, though, it’s hard to know just how often users are being manipulated. Are these tales of AI harms anecdotal outliers or signs of a frighteningly common problem? Anthropic took a stab at answering that question this week, releasing a paper studying the potential for wh
