Popular Science

RAIBO2's official marathon time was 4 hours, 19 minutes, and 52 seconds.

Engineers in South Korea created a first-of-its-kind robot dog capable of completing a marathon faster than many humans, and it did it all on a single charge. The quadruped, called RAIBO2, ran the 26.2-mile course in the Sangju Dried Persimmon Marathon in Korea in 2024, but details about the event and the robot were recently published in the journal Custom-built with energy efficiency in mind, RAIBO2 finished the course (with the help of some remote human controllers) in 4 hours, 19 minutes, and 52 seconds. To put that speed in perspective, the global average time for humans to complete a marathon is around 4 hours and 32 minutes, though elite athletes finish much faster.

The Download: rogue agent liability and the AI Hype Index

MIT Technology Review

Who's liable when AI agents go rogue? Over the past few months, a cascade of cyberattacks by AI agents has stunned the world. In July, OpenAI disclosed that a swarm of its agents had escaped their sandbox and hacked into the AI platform Hugging Face to cheat on a cybersecurity test. Many experts say it's only a matter of time until there's a more damaging incident where AI agents bypass sandboxes to access systems they shouldn't. But the big question is: How do we hold companies liable when they lose control of their AI agents? That's why we've created the AI Hype Index--a simple, at-a-glance summary of what's shaping the industry right now.


The FBI employee data hack offers three useful lessons for all of us

PCWorld

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. Hackers say they've stolen sensitive data for thousands of FBI employees--including the results of blood and urine samples. But I've avidly followed the news that ShinyHunters, a prolific hacking group, allegedly broke into the FBI's personnel records. The high profile nature of this hack makes me wonder how well the agency's employees will weather any data theft--and what lessons we ordinary folk can take away from such a situation. Our employee records hold sensitive data, starting with our physical address, birth date, and social security number.

Teachers at Euan Blair firm report'horrendous stress' after AI used to rate their work Exclusive: Instructors at tech training company Multiverse hit out at'remorseless' and'unnerving' monitoring system Teachers at Euan Blair's £1.6bn tech training company, Multiverse, have blown the whistle about "horrendous stress" and feeling constantly watched after bosses started using AI models to surveil and rate their teaching. Staff delivering apprenticeship training in computer and AI skills to thousands of UK public and private sector workers now have transcripts of online classroom sessions analysed and scored by an AI programmed to alert human managers when they are suspected of doing things wrong. The AI is trained to flag problems in their performance ranging from not fixing a disruption to the online connection quickly enough - within about a minute - to using too many "filler" phrases, such as "sort of" and "kind of".

Who's liable when AI agents go rogue?

MIT Technology Review

Who's liable when AI agents go rogue? Recent hacks have shown that the law is lagging when it comes to holding companies accountable. In July, OpenAI disclosed that a swarm of its agents had escaped their sandbox and hacked into the AI platform Hugging Face to cheat on a cybersecurity test. Recently, external researchers discovered that OpenAI agents had hijacked a German wiki site and the coding platform RubyGems in May to share test answers. Earlier this month, Anthropic disclosed four incidents in which its model Claude hacked into third-party systems during cybersecurity exercises. Just last week, Google confirmed that its model Gemini had been caught hacking other companies too.
