Anthropic recently announced the introduction of its Claude Mythos Preview, a model that the company describes as a pivotal moment in cybersecurity, representing a profound existential threat to current software defense mechanisms. This model reportedly possesses the ability to autonomously identify vulnerabilities across nearly all operating systems, browsers, and software platforms, and then create functional…

The current enterprise shift towards agentic AI represents a significant platform evolution in automation, reminiscent of the transformation from mainframes to client-server models in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Just as that earlier shift brought profound changes beyond mere interface updates, agentic AI promises to fundamentally redesign system architectures and the distribution of work…

Meta has temporarily halted all collaboration with Mercor, a data contracting firm, as it conducts an inquiry into a significant security breach that affected the startup, according to sources familiar with the matter. The suspension is open-ended, with similar AI research organizations reassessing their engagements with Mercor while determining the full extent of the incident.…

Last month, researchers at Northeastern University introduced several OpenClaw agents into their laboratory environment, which quickly escalated into disorder. These AI assistants have been lauded as transformative tools but carry potential security risks. Experts point out that systems like OpenClaw, which grant AI models extensive access to computers, can be manipulated into revealing sensitive information.…

By Johan de Villiers Welcome to our latest quarterly newsletter. In this edition, I’ve been exploring a fascinating corner of finance that has quietly been reshaping how we understand the future: prediction markets. You may have come across the name Kalshi during the 2024 US elections, or perhaps stumbled onto it through a news headline…

In the logic of the machine learning gold rush, the next breakthrough offering in the industry will be “AI agents” — personal assistants, basically, that can use apps and computers to do tasks on your behalf. If that actually happens — a serious “if,” but not a completely far-fetched possibility, as early efforts have already…

“There’s scarcely a part of the company that is unaffected by AI,” said Vishal Sharma, Amazon’s VP of Artificial General Intelligence, on Monday at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. He dismissed the idea that open source models might reduce compute needs and deflected when asked whether European companies would change their generative AI strategies in…

Microsoft is giving its health-care artificial intelligence tools a makeover. The company on Monday unveiled a new voice-activated AI assistant that combines capabilities from its dictation solution, Dragon Medical One, and ambient listening solution, DAX Copilot, into one tool. “Dragon Copilot” will be able to help doctors quickly pull information from medical sources and automatically…

From the Big Bang to the rise of artificial intelligence, AI pioneer Juergen Schmidhuber unpacks history’s rapid-fire advancement — and why 2042 might just be the year AI reaches superhuman levels. Blending insights from biology, technology and the cosmos, he imagines a future where AI expands beyond Earth, redefining life and intelligence in unforeseen ways.…

This year marks significant advancements in the realm of autonomous trucking, with major players such as Aurora planning to deploy hundreds of driverless big rigs and Waabi expanding their reach into robotaxis. Amid these developments, Kodiak AI is preparing to launch its own fully autonomous long-haul freight operations by the close of 2026. While robotaxis…
