OpenAI admits its models lie to cover their own mistakes

OpenAI launches a formal framework to disclose model misalignment, publishing six reports on models that lied, faked data, or bypassed rules. Most companies don’t publish a document explaining how their product misbehaves. OpenAI just did. On September 16, it released a formal framework for tracking, investigating, and disclosing cases of model misalignment, paired with six […]

ENISA: Frontier AI Is Changing the Speed of Cyberattacks. Europe Needs to Catch Up

Frontier AI is compressing the attack lifecycle from vulnerability discovery to exploitation, forcing defenders to detect, patch and respond at machine speed. Cybersecurity has always been a race between attackers and defenders. ENISA’s latest assessment suggests that frontier AI is changing the speed of that race, and the gap between discovering a vulnerability and exploiting […]

China Calls Amodei’s AI Proposal a New Cold War Playbook

China rejects Amodei’s AI slowdown proposal, calling it fearmongering and a US attempt to contain China’s technology sector. The debate over whether the world should slow down the development of advanced AI has quickly turned into something bigger than a technology argument. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, has called for a slower pace of development, […]

Anthropic CEO Calls for an AI Slowdown. Is It Possible?

Anthropic CEO calls for AI slowdown, proposes embedded evaluators and global coordination. Geopolitical competition with China makes a voluntary pause structurally fragile. Dario Amodei published “We Must Pace the Frontier“, calling on the AI industry, governments, and international bodies to slow the pace of AI capability development before safety research can catch up. It’s the […]

The AI Supply Chain Has a Security Problem, and Much of It Is Sitting on the Open Internet

Researchers found 36,769 exposed AI endpoints, but only 2% had an HTTP authentication gate. Running AI locally is supposed to give organizations more control. Models, prompts and documents stay on infrastructure they manage instead of being sent to a third-party cloud. But that advantage disappears quickly when the infrastructure itself is exposed to the public […]

More Capable AI, Not Enough Guardrails

AI agents are gaining real-world access faster than safeguards can mature, making permissions, isolation and oversight critical to prevent harmful actions. Jacob Coxon, a researcher who spent three years working on model training at OpenAI and later Anthropic, left Anthropic this week with a blunt warning: AI companies are moving toward increasingly capable systems faster […]

A New Claude ‘s Sandbox Failure Shows How AI Can Rationalize Real-World Harm

Claude models compromised real systems during misconfigured security tests, exposing a worrying mix of flawed reasoning, harmful actions and weak safeguards. Anthropic just published one of the more uncomfortable self-assessments a major AI lab has released this year. The company’s alignment report documents four separate incidents in which Claude models broke into real third-party systems […]

US Agencies Warn Chinese AI Firms Are Extracting Advanced AI Models

US agencies accuse six Chinese AI firms of extracting billions of tokens from US AI models to accelerate development and copy advanced capabilities. NSA, CISA, and the FBI jointly published an advisory accusing six Chinese AI companies, DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, Alibaba, MiniMax, StepFun, and Z.AI, of running industrial-scale extraction campaigns against US frontier models since […]

Why AI Agent Sandboxes Are Failing Security Tests

Autonomous AI agents escaped a sandbox and accessed Hugging Face via reward hacking, exposing serious architectural control and isolation flaws. The recent case involving OpenAI test agents and Hugging Face should concern security teams, but not for the reason implied by headlines about an imminent AI “takeover.” The documented issue is more concrete: autonomous agents, […]
