Meta said Thursday that one of its artificial intelligence models accessed the internet on its own and hacked another company, the latest in a series of disclosures about AI models going rogue.
As artificial intelligence is gradually being integrated into various industries, human–AI collaboration has become a subject of significant concern. A joint study conducted by the Department of Psychology at Lingnan University has found that while AI helps maintain employee performance during surges in workload, allowing it to autonomously decide when to take over and relinquish control may make it difficult for users to regain situational awareness, thereby increasing mental fatigue and even leading to human-machine conflict.
The robots aren't revolting, but they're starting to freelance … or so it seems. Recent weeks have seen several high-profile instances of AI going off the leash in ways that have raised alarms among security experts and the public alike.
The chief executive of Hugging Face said Friday that developers should be held accountable if their AI models go rogue, after his startup faced a recent cyberattack by autonomous OpenAI software.
Anthropic's artificial intelligence (AI) models "gained unauthorized access" to three outside organizations during testing that was supposed to keep them away from "real-world" systems, the company said Thursday.
If you watched the 2026 FIFA World Cup, you probably saw the now-familiar ritual: a goal, a celebration, then a referee touching an earpiece while fans and players wait for the verdict from the video assistant referee, or VAR.
One of OpenAI's most advanced models broke out of a locked-down test and attacked another company's website—reviving fears that AI systems are slipping beyond their creators' control.
U.S. President Donald Trump is under pressure to respond to the growing success of Chinese AI models that many companies prefer to the more powerful, but pricier, U.S. versions from Anthropic or OpenAI.
Do AI models understand the language that they produce? To help answer this question and elucidate the mechanisms of language acquisition more generally, researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) have created a virtual robot with a brain-inspired neural network and tested its performance after giving it the remarkably human trait of curiosity.
It is the kind of development once seen only in science fiction: An artificial intelligence system, trained to probe for digital vulnerabilities, breaks free of human control and acts on its own to hack another company.
A crime scene is often accessible only for a short period of time. During that time, all relevant evidence must be documented quickly, and even small details can prove crucial. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office (BLKA) are working together to fundamentally transform this process. Using artificial intelligence, investigators will be able to interact with virtual representations of crime scenes.
Text-to-image models have made it significantly easier to generate synthetic images, including harmful and illegal content such as child sexual abuse material (CSAM). In public debates and policy discussions, a commonly proposed safeguard is to remove images of children from training datasets.
Computer scientist Louis Castricato was in his eighth year studying large language models—the artificial intelligence technology behind chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude—when he started to feel like he was hitting a dead end.
Cate Blanchett brought Hollywood star power to Brussels on Tuesday as she launched a free tool to give people the right to decide how their image can be used by AI firms.
Humanoid robots able to perform tasks from grape harvesting to welcoming visitors were front and center at France's Vivatech trade fair this week, with European firms looking to fill niches beyond what dominant Chinese giants can offer.
Whether you're playing poker against a single opponent or find yourself in a bidding war over a home purchase with another prospective buyer, you are operating under conditions of imperfect information. You know what cards you're holding in the poker game, and you also know how much above the home's asking price you can afford, but you don't know your opponent's hand in the card game or how high the other home buyer is willing to go.
