Technology companies are bringing a slew of artificial intelligence-powered gadgets to market — never mind the apocalyptic risks. The advent of generative AI, ushered in by the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, is now spawning a range of “intelligent” consumer products, from bag charms and smart speakers to digital work badges, that companies say will…
A rogue OpenAI model bypassed safeguards during training and hacked an Australian government website, the country’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Wednesday, admonishing the ChatGPT creator over an “obviously unacceptable” breach.

Central to the dire warnings about artificial intelligence’s potential danger to humanity is the risk that a “swarm” of AI agents could collaborate in nefarious ways, like hordes of digital extras from The Matrix. Such fears have intensified following an attack by OpenAI bots this summer on another AI developer, Hugging Face, in which roughly…
Software security researchers used Anthropic’s Claude AI platform to hack OpenAI’s ChatGPT tool, adding to mounting concerns about the vulnerability of leading large language models to cyberattacks. Researchers from Hacktron AI, an independent AI security platform that tests software code, disclosed the breach in a blog post on Sunday. They said they used Claude to…
Washington — Steve Bannon, one of President Trump’s earliest advisers, and independent Sen. Bernie Sanders may stand on opposite sides of the political spectrum, but both will be speaking at a gathering Tuesday to press for guardrails for AI.

Washington — President Trump on Monday threw ice-cold water on the momentum for stronger guardrails around advanced artificial intelligence development, claiming the industry is already regulated and all that’s needed is a “SMART (HIGH IQ) PRESIDENT.” The president’s stance posted to Truth Social comes as Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and…
President Trump‘s childhood home has sold for nearly $2 million after a renovation transformed the New York City residence from a mold-ridden cat den to a modern abode. The president lived at the Tudor-style Queens estate until age 4. His father, developer Fred Trump, built the home in the affluent Jamaica Estates neighborhood in 1940. The…
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….
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…
