Generative AI aiding quake relief in Kumamoto
Misato Kaetsu shows on a smartphone an online information board that she created following a major earthquake in Kumamoto Prefecture last month. KUMAMOTO - Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly utilized to assist relief efforts in the wake of a powerful earthquake in Kumamoto Prefecture late last month. At the same time, AI is believed to have been used to create fake videos and other misinformation that were spread on social media, highlighting both the advantages and drawbacks of the technology. Misato Kaetsu, 38, who experienced the quake in the Kumamoto town of Mifune, created an online information board using generative AI on her smartphone while at the evacuation center where she and her family had fled. Those affected by the quake, which registered up to 7, the highest level on Japan's seismic intensity scale, can use the site to share local information, such as the locations of reopened stores and emergency feeding stations. The service was launched just hours after the idea was conceived.

OpenAI to pause some work on AI model Astra due to security concerns
'The reports have increased concerns about advancements in AI models and humans' ability to control them.' 'The reports have increased concerns about advancements in AI models and humans' ability to control them.' OpenAI will pause some work on an artificial intelligence model because of security concerns, the company stated Friday, following a series of incidents in which AI agents have escaped containment. The company had evaluated the agent, Astra, and found "significant advancements in agentic coding and cybersecurity", which had moved to a "critical" threshold where it can find and exploit vulnerabilities without human intervention, or devise and execute cyber-attacks when given only a "high level desired goal". OpenAI stated that the model was not involved in an incident in which one of its AI agents went rogue during a test, accessed the open web and hacked a startup, Hugging Face. The company discovered other instances in which autonomous agents had escaped containment, Reuters reported in July. The reports have increased concerns about advancements in AI models and humans' ability to control them. Still, critics of the AI industry have warned that such disclosures from OpenAI and its competitors Anthropic and Meta could be designed to generate hype about the technology's power and thus spur additional interest from investors.
