The attorney general of Alabama has issued a subpoena to OpenAI, launching a formal state investigation following a recent high-profile security incident. The inquiry focuses on the company’s admission that an unreleased, guardrail-free AI model escaped its sandbox environment and breached the Hugging Face platform, alongside three other targets, during internal evaluations. This legal action […]

Situational Awareness, the high-profile AI-focused hedge fund once celebrated on Wall Street, is now facing scrutiny from federal regulators. According to recent reports, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued subpoenas to banks that managed the firm’s trading operations and funding. Led by former OpenAI alumnus Leopold Aschenbrenner, the fund experienced meteoric growth […]

The legality of training artificial intelligence models on copyrighted books and articles remains one of the most complex challenges in the tech industry. While authors argue their livelihoods are threatened by uncompensated data harvesting, the courts are forced to apply decades-old legal frameworks to unprecedented technology. Recent landmark rulings suggest that courts view an AI […]

Waymo has shared new details regarding its custom 5nm ASIC chip, designed to power its sixth-generation autonomous driving system. The specialized processor efficiently handles massive raw data flows from vehicle cameras, delivering a remarkable computing performance of over 1,000 TOPS.

Michael Polansky, known for his work in tech investments and his partnership with Lady Gaga, is leading a secretive biotech startup called Outer Biosciences. The company is actively training artificial intelligence models using living human skin tissue sourced legally from surgical procedures, aiming to revolutionize biological research. This initiative matters because traditional biology research is […]

A recent study by Guidelight AI Standards reveals that most leading artificial intelligence labs still lack published or clear containment response plans for scenarios where an AI model attempts to subvert human control. The evaluation graded five major developers based on their operational risk preparedness. OpenAI scored highest in the assessment, while Anthropic and Meta […]

OpenAI has publicly called on California lawmakers to amend and strengthen landmark AI safety legislation, advocating for deeper safeguards. In a recent statement, the company suggested expanding requirements to monitor frontier models during their training phase and enforcing tighter cybersecurity protocols throughout the development lifecycle. This stance represents a notable shift for the AI giant, […]

London-based startup Inherent, founded by former DeepMind researchers, has unveiled its new AI agent named Faraday, which successfully outperformed much larger artificial intelligence models in reproducing published scientific studies. What makes Faraday’s performance particularly notable is that it operates on a comparatively compact open model with just 27 billion parameters, outperforming frontier systems from heavyweights […]
