Anthropic bans users from being'cruel' to its AI systems Anthropic has raised eyebrows by announcing it will ban users from sustained and needless abusive behaviour towards its AI. The Claude-maker said on Thursday it was updating its usage policy to let its tools end interactions where people are cruel - something it said it had done in rare cases prior. It will now be included on a list of forbidden conduct which also contains bullying others, promoting self-harm and creating non-consensual intimate imagery. While Anthropic said the policy would only apply in extreme cases of repeated abuse, it has reignited debate over how we should communicate with AI tools. The company said it would not apply to common versions of user frustration, pushback, dark creative themes, or model testing and research - suggesting it would only apply in clearly deliberate instances.

Three former OpenAI employees say they have been fired due to their efforts to ensure the safety of artificial intelligence. The trio warned of a "chilling" effect on other staff concerned about the frontier technology's risks. "I believe we were fired for prioritizing safety over the near-term interests of OpenAI as a corporation," Balesni said in a post on X. Korbak expressed a similar sentiment, expressing his belief that he had been terminated for raising concerns that OpenAI was "losing the ability to monitor what AI agents think, one of our best tools for catching when they misbehave". In an open letter published in tandem with their social media posts, Balesni, Korbak and Wang expressed concerns that their dismissal would make their former colleagues "afraid to speak and operate in ways that, until last week, were an integral part of working at OpenAI". "We could raise safety concerns and disagree openly, and were encouraged to draw on the expertise of independent safety organizations," they said in the letter. "This is part of what made OpenAI special, and why we are immensely proud to have been part of the team."

We're putting too much faith in AI's ability to say no Today's LLMs are engineered to disobey dangerous requests. But AI refusal is far from foolproof--and could become an instrument of repression. Ever since people first seriously contemplated giving machines an intelligence modeled on our own, there has never been any question that they would, like us, be able to say no. The sci-fi canon is full of stories of robotic disobedience. Most of these capers are, of course, cautionary. But recently, the idea that AI shouldn't do everything you ask has become something like a commandment. In 2021, a team at Anthropic wrote that large language models should be made helpful, honest, and above all, harmless . This meant that "when asked to aid in a dangerous act (e.g. Who can argue with that? People really hate AI, so why can't they get enough? Curiously enough, disobedience doesn't come naturally to the machine.

SoftBank Group Chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son speaks during an event in Tokyo in July. SoftBank Group seeks to raise as much as $100 billion from Gulf investors to help it amp up its bets on artificial intelligence (AI), the Financial Times (FT) reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Founder Masayoshi Son has held early talks with potential investors including those in the United Arab Emirates, the newspaper said. The proposed fund would buy companies and use AI and machines, including from SoftBank's robotics arm Roze, to improve operations, the FT said. Fundraising of that scale would fuel more spending by the tech investment firm, which has invested almost $65 billion in OpenAI ahead of the AI lab's public debut.

Three OpenAI safety researchers have posted an open letter to OpenAI disputing their dismissals. Jasmine Wang, Mikita Balesni and Tomek Korbak wrote that the "very public manner" of the company's communications around the firings could have a "chilling" effect on employees at a time when "the world's safety depends on them." Last week, OpenAI dismissed three employees who allegedly shared information with an external AI safety organization. The company said in a statement that the employees "violat[ed] our policies on accessing and handling sensitive company information... breaking the trust essential to our work." In the face of recent serious and potentially illegal OpenAI agent hacks of Hugging Face and other organizations, though, the firing of safety employees raised awkward questions and caught the attention of lawmakers.

The ChatGPT-maker company has told investors that its revenues for this year would reach $50bn (£37bn), a projection based on sales up to the end of September. However, this is significantly less than the $70bn that it had signalled in information provided to investors last month, which was widely reported.
