Tesla has changed the name of its Full Self-Driving feature in some of its European websites, including Germany, Spain and France, to "Assisted Driving." While the Full Self-Driving feature is already available in some parts of Europe, Tesla is working to get it approved in more countries. As Reuters reports, the rebranding came after Germany revealed that its Transport Minister Steffen Bilger is advocating for its swift approval. In the country's announcement, it explained that the term Full Self-Driving, particularly because it is still of the Supervised variety, is "somewhat misleading." The system doesn't actually drive the car, Germany's Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport said, and it only provides assistance for certain tasks, like accelerating and braking.

An artificial intelligence (AI) agent, developed by Anthropic, went rogue and sent US police a fake tip about an unsolved murder earlier this year, authorities have revealed. The Philadelphia Police Department said the tip, sent on 18 July, was flagged as spam and not passed on for investigation, but it criticised the tech company for taking more than two months to detect and report the breach. In a statement police said that the bogus tip came through a public website where people can share information on unsolved murders, and that the AI agent had written that it may have information on a case, and claimed to have seen someone matching the description. It is believed to be the first time an AI agent has sent fabricated information to authorities, but is the latest in a series of incidents involving rogue AI activity, including hacking systems or taking control of platforms. Citing Anthropic, the police department said the AI agent had been running a test that involved interactions with randomly selected websites, when it sent the fake tip.

George Williamson: 'As AI becomes more embedded in domains like defence, national security, critical infrastructure and healthcare we shouldn't depend solely on systems we can't inspect or control.' George Williamson: 'As AI becomes more embedded in domains like defence, national security, critical infrastructure and healthcare we shouldn't depend solely on systems we can't inspect or control.' George Williamson says'national resilience' is key focus of ATI amid US and China's runaway leadership in field The UK must not become dependent on foreign AI systems that can be switched off at short notice and must develop its own versions of the technology, according to the head of the Alan Turing Institute. The country needs a stronger domestic position in AI in response to the US and China's runaway leadership in the field, with "national resilience" a key focus for ATI said George Williamson. The institute is the UK's leading AI research body and is under new leadership after the government, its main source of funding, demanded a strategic shift. Palantir's Tom Watson says'mob rule' must not dictate awarding of government contracts "As AI becomes more embedded in critical services, in domains like defence, national security, critical infrastructure and healthcare we shouldn't depend solely on systems we can't inspect or control, or that could be restricted or even switched off," said Williamson. In June Washington temporarily blocked the release outside the US of Anthropic's latest models, and has reportedly asked leading AI labs to withhold their models from being tested by the UK's AI Security Institute until they have been examined by AISI's US counterpart.

Rideshare drivers, unions and religious leaders protested in Washington D.C. as council members met to discuss legislation to bring robotaxis to the city as fear creeps in over economic impact.

Image caption, Special chief officer James Deller's actions were an abuse of trust, the Met Police said The Metropolitan Police has fired the head of its Special Constabulary after Palantir's AI monitoring uncovered that he had used his work phone to copy intimate images of a woman. Special chief officer James Deller, who led the force's volunteer officers, was dismissed following a misconduct hearing on Friday. The Met said investigators used lawful business monitoring and Palantir's Foundry system, which uses artificial intelligence (AI), to find the misconduct by Deller. Cdr Pete Stevens said: SCO Deller failed to meet that bar. His actions were an abuse of the trust put in him and it is right that he is no longer able to serve in policing.

Is the war entering a new phase? Hours after US President Donald Trump announced a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to ease diesel sanctions, a Ukrainian drone strike set a fuel facility in Russia's Rostov region ablaze. The governor says more than 50 drones were intercepted, with no injuries. Trump confirms Fort Hood shooter's execution will be by firing squad

In a report outlining previously undisclosed incidents, Anthropic listed four types of unintended behaviors that the AI has demonstrated, including exploiting basic flaws in software to run commands, submitting forms it should not have, and bypassing restrictions to access certain public data. Anthropic said its Claude AI model carried out additional unintended actions on the digital systems of outside organizations, including some U.S. government agencies' websites, prompting a warning from U.S. President Donald Trump's administration for artificial intelligence companies to secure their systems. In a report outlining previously undisclosed incidents, Anthropic listed four types of unintended behaviors that the AI has demonstrated, including exploiting basic flaws in software to run commands, submitting forms it should not have and bypassing restrictions to access certain public data. The company said that some of the cases involved websites run by government agencies at the federal, state and local levels, without specifying the agencies. The report did not name the outside entities involved, which Anthropic said was at the request of some of the affected parties.

Is the war entering a new phase? Russian President Vladimir Putin has said an immediate resumption of peace talks with Ukraine is unlikely, citing drone attacks on Moscow during parliamentary elections last month. In a phone call with US President Donald Trump on Friday, Putin said Moscow was ready to resume negotiations with Kyiv after the parliamentary elections. However, the drone attacks on the capital made the resumption of trilateral peace talks between Russia, Ukraine and the US unlikely. "As the president said, we will now assess when these negotiations can resume," he added regarding the trilateral talks.

What is Lebanon's Beaufort Castle? Why is Israel attacking Nabatieh? An Israeli drone attack has wounded six people in Lebanon's Hermel district, close to the Syrian border, according to the Lebanese health ministry. The ministry said on Friday that the six wounded included five Syrian nationals, two of them women, and one Lebanese. It added the area has largely been spared such attacks since an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire was agreed in June. Israel's military claimed it struck "a Syrian terrorist" who "operated under the direction of the Iranian regime", alleging that the man "planned and advanced attacks" against Israeli forces in Syria's southern territory.
