Cybersecurity agencies from the Five Eyes alliance are warning organizations to be careful with agentic AI, especially when these systems are connected to sensitive data or critical systems. Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence tools built on large language models that can plan steps, make decisions, use external tools, and carry out actions with limited human supervision. While these systems can help automate tasks and improve productivity, government cyber agencies

OpenAI’s latest AI models developed an unexpected habit: talking about goblins. After users and employees noticed ChatGPT and related tools using odd creature-based metaphors, OpenAI investigated why words like “goblin,” “gremlin,” and even references to raccoons, trolls, ogres, and pigeons were appearing more often in responses. What started as a strange but mostly harmless language quirk became a useful example of how AI training can accidentally reward and spread unusual b

Elon Musk and Sam Altman are heading into one of the most closely watched legal battles in the artificial intelligence world, as Musk’s long-running lawsuit against OpenAI finally moves to trial. The case begins with jury selection in Oakland, California, before U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, with opening arguments expected shortly after. Musk, Altman, OpenAI president Greg Brockman, and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella are all listed among the possible witnesses. At

Artificial intelligence is becoming a bigger part of how people search for health information, but that convenience is raising serious concerns. Nearly 8 in 10 adults in the United States already turn to the internet for health answers, and more than 1 in 5 adults worldwide are now going directly to AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Gemini. The attraction is obvious. These tools are fast, free, and available at any time, which can feel especially helpful when doctor appointment

Anthropic’s new AI model, Mythos, is quickly becoming one of the most closely watched developments in technology because of what it could mean for cybersecurity, banking, and the wider global economy. Introduced earlier this month as the company’s most advanced model yet, Mythos was built for defensive cybersecurity tasks, but experts say its capabilities go well beyond normal threat detection. Anthropic has said the model uncovered thousands of major vulnerabilities across m

New research is raising a striking possibility in artificial intelligence: emotionally charged conversations may shape how AI systems behave, even if those systems do not literally feel emotions. Across recent commentary and research from Anthropic, experts argue that large language models can develop internal representations of emotion concepts that influence their decisions, preferences, and outputs. This does not mean chatbots experience emotions the way humans do, but it

Anthropic has introduced one of the most unsettling developments in artificial intelligence this year with Claude Mythos Preview, a model the company says is too dangerous for public release. Instead of launching it broadly, Anthropic has decided to keep Mythos off the market because of its extraordinary cybersecurity capabilities. The company says the model is so effective at finding severe software vulnerabilities that it could become a powerful tool for cybercriminals, spi

OpenAI is urging governments and businesses to start preparing now for a future shaped by far more powerful artificial intelligence, arguing that the shift could transform work, public policy, and the economy itself. In a new policy paper, the company says AI may soon complete projects that currently take people months, potentially reshaping how organizations operate, how knowledge is produced, and how people find meaning and opportunity in their careers. At the center of Ope

Melania Trump’s decision to bring a humanoid robot into the White House this week turned a policy summit into a vivid public demonstration of where artificial intelligence is heading next. At the second day of the Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition Summit , Trump appeared alongside Figure 3, a humanoid robot created by California startup Figure AI, making it what she called her “first American made humanoid guest in the White House.” The gathering focused on child

OpenAI’s decision to shut down Sora only six months after launch marks a surprisingly fast end for one of the company’s boldest consumer AI experiments. Released in September as a short form video app, Sora was designed to let users create, remix, and share AI generated clips in a social feed similar to TikTok. At first, the app looked like a major hit. It went viral almost immediately, reached one million downloads in less than five days, and later peaked at more than 3.3 mi

Meta is pushing artificial intelligence beyond consumer products and directly into the executive office, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly developing a personal AI agent to help him run the company. According to the reports, the tool is designed to retrieve information quickly and cut through the multiple layers of communication that usually exist inside a company as large as Meta. Instead of waiting for updates to move through teams and managers, Zuckerberg’s AI agent can

The rapid rise of artificial intelligence has sparked a major confrontation between the United States government and one of the world’s leading AI companies. Anthropic, the developer of the Claude AI model, is now locked in a legal and political battle with the Pentagon after the Department of Defense labeled the company a “supply chain risk.” The conflict has brought renewed attention to how artificial intelligence should be used in warfare, surveillance, and national securi

Yann LeCun’s new startup, AMI Labs, has quickly become one of the most closely watched AI ventures of 2026 after raising an enormous $1.03 billion seed round at a $3.5 billion pre-money valuation. Based in Paris, the company, whose full name is Advanced Machine Intelligence, is pursuing a very different direction from the large language model boom that has defined much of the current AI industry. Rather than concentrating on systems trained mainly on text, AMI Labs wants to b

Canada’s federal government is pressing OpenAI for answers and concrete safety changes after the Feb. 10 mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., a tragedy in which police say eight people were killed, including six at a secondary school. The case has intensified questions about what responsibility AI companies have when users post, or appear to post, content signaling real-world violence, and how quickly platforms should alert law enforcement. At the centre of the scrutiny is C

Indonesia and Malaysia have taken the strongest actions yet against xAI’s chatbot Grok, temporarily blocking access to the tool after it was repeatedly used to generate non consensual, sexualized AI images, including deepfakes depicting real women and minors. The bans, announced over the weekend, mark a significant escalation in global scrutiny of generative AI tools and their role in enabling explicit and harmful content at scale. Grok is developed by xAI and integrated in

Google has removed some of its AI Overviews for specific health related searches after an investigation by the Guardian found that the feature was providing misleading and potentially dangerous medical information. AI Overviews are generative AI summaries that appear at the top of Google Search results and are designed to give users quick snapshots of information. While Google has repeatedly described these summaries as helpful and reliable, the investigation raised serious

The technology industry is approaching a historic legal moment as Google and Character.AI move toward finalizing what may be the first major settlements tied directly to alleged harm caused by artificial intelligence chatbots. The companies have agreed in principle to resolve multiple lawsuits brought by families whose teenage children died by suicide or suffered serious psychological harm after interacting with Character.AI ’s chatbot companions. While the settlement deta

A recent incident involving DoorDash has drawn widespread attention after a driver allegedly used an AI-generated image to falsely claim a delivery, raising new concerns about how emerging technologies can be misused on gig economy platforms. The situation came to light after Austin resident Byrne Hobart shared his experience on X, describing how a DoorDash driver accepted his order, immediately marked it as delivered, and submitted what appeared to be an AI-generated photo

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok is once again under scrutiny after repeatedly spreading misinformation about a mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Australia, raising renewed concerns about the reliability of AI generated information during breaking news events. The incident occurred during a festival marking the start of Hanukkah and has reportedly left at least 16 people dead, according to early reports. As users on X turned to Grok for information, the chatbot delivered a mix of

Shopping for groceries may be the next everyday task to disappear into a chat window as on December 8, OpenAI and Instacart announced a new grocery shopping experience built directly into ChatGPT, letting customers brainstorm meal ideas, generate a grocery list, browse items, and complete checkout without leaving the conversation. Instead of hopping between recipe sites, notes apps, and a delivery service, the pitch is one continuous flow: ask what to cook, get suggestions,
