The White House Is Going to Expand Its AI Policy

It May Be Time to Panic About AI
Bots are starting to conspire with one another. Can they be reeled back in? The crisis began quietly, on September 12, 2024. That was the day OpenAI announced a new sort of bot, known as a "reasoning model," that was trained to complete challenging tasks that took long periods of time--the very sorts of science, math, and coding problems the AI industry had long prized.
