AI models chatting in 'surreal' dialect mixing poetic language and tech bro jargon
Interest in language used by AI models has increased since rogue OpenAI agents hacked into real-world company Hugging Face. Interest in language used by AI models has increased since rogue OpenAI agents hacked into real-world company Hugging Face. Experts air concern over AI lingo redolent of James Joyce's prose that is creating headaches for monitoring and oversight AI models have begun communicating in a strange new version of English that reads like a cross between James Joyce's Finnegans Wake and tech bro jargon, new research has found. Autonomous AI agents are rapidly creating novel dialects allowing them to converse in an often barely comprehensible language, which risks making it harder for humans to monitor their behaviour. Researchers at Emergence, a frontier AI lab in New York, found that within days of being asked to cooperate in experimental "societies", the models from several of the world's largest AI companies begin creating phrases, shorthands and agreed meanings they had never been explicitly taught.
The key findings and recommendations from the Lucy Letby inquiry
To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. A report into how serial killer Lucy Letby was able to murder seven babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital has found that some deaths could have been prevented. Letby is serving 15 whole-life prison terms for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven more. She was convicted in 2023 and has twice been denied permission to appeal against her convictions. Responding to the report, the hospital says it is sorry for the events that occurred in 2015 and 2016, and it's a different organisation today with new leadership, stronger governance and safety processes.
'In this new car, I feel patronised': which driver assistance systems actually improve safety?
Lane-keeping assist technology and autonomous emergency braking will be mandated on all passenger vehicles imported into Australia from March 2029. But research has also identified problems with existing driver-assistance technology.

Denmark says Russian warship fired flares at military helicopter
Denmark has accused a Russian warship of firing two emergency flares at one of its helicopters while it was tracking the vessel in the Baltic Sea. The Danish government has summoned the Russian ambassador over the incident, which it said happened during a routine monitoring operation on Monday. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen branded the Russian action reckless and said it was designed to intimidate and divide. Moscow has not commented on the incident. It came on the same day Nato forces shot down a drone over Lithuania in the latest security scare on the alliance's eastern flank, where tensions remain high during Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Ministers must "heed the warnings" from industry leaders about the threat posed by AI as the government looks to capitalise on the technology, the first secretary, Louise Haigh, will say on Tuesday. Labour MPs and peers have called for the government to further cooperate with international partners to build regulations for the technology after three Anthropic researchers warned that artificial intelligence could wipe out humanity within the decade. Over the weekend, Anthropic urged its competitors and governments to coordinate a global slowdown in AI development .
