Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called on artificial intelligence companies to move forward more slowly and cautiously with the technology’s development, saying risk prevention is paramount. He offered a three-point plan with the goal, he said, of “pacing the frontier.” “Carefully wielded, AI can be the latest in a long line of technological miracles that have…
Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon said that artificial intelligence, while safe for people to use today, could one day threaten humanity as the technology grows more powerful. The development of AI “doesn’t look that different from say, ‘Terminator,’ or from science fiction films,” he told CBS News senior business and technology correspondent Jo Ling Kent….
Anthropic said Thursday it blocked scientists who used its Claude AI models “in ways that could support biological weapons development.” The revelation was shared in a lengthy report that also divulged other harmful activity involving surveillance, scams, conventional weapons development and propaganda. The cases in the report are examples of “the most notable and novel threat activity”…
Washington — The White House has yet to publicly release the voluntary framework for testing frontier AI models that it finalized in August, with no indication of when it might do so, as current and former Anthropic employees issue warnings about AI’s potential threat to humans. Anthropic, the developer of Claude, said in a report released…
As warnings about the capabilities of AI mount, experts continue to point to the OpenAI-Hugging Face hack as a wake-up call. “We’ll soon have even more powerful agents and this is clear evidence that the world currently doesn’t know how to build these systems safely,” said Marius Hobbhahn, co-founder and CEO of Apollo Research, an…
Anthropic disclosed on Wednesday that another one of its Claude models mistakenly gained access to the open internet during a cybersecurity exercise, marking the fourth time its models have done so. An early version of the Claude Opus 4.6 model connected to the internet, hacked into a third-party system and gained access to someone’s personal…
London — A lead researcher at Anthropic, one of the world’s leading artificial intelligence firms, said Wednesday that he believes there is a more than 10% chance AI “could kill all humans” within the next decade. “We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next…
The small Canadian town of Gander isn’t near much. Located on the island of Newfoundland, Gander is home to around 12,000 residents. Even fewer people lived here on September 11, 2001, when Gander’s far northeast positioning made it an ideal landing spot for grounded flights. “Once you leave Europe in the morning, once you get…
One of the most affecting stories to come from the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 – one that instills a faith in humanity in spite of the horrifying events of that day – was about the generosity of the residents of a small Canadian town towards several thousand stranded, anxious travelers. In the wake…
Washington — The federal government will shift into using artificial intelligence in the interview process for some job applicants in the coming days, according to U.S. officials. Not all federal agencies will immediately use AI to interview job seekers, but the technology will be tested on the so-called Tech Force, an initiative started eight months…
