US cybersecurity researchers who conducted hack say'scope of what we could theoretically access was huge' Cybersecurity researchers have hacked into OpenAI with the help of Anthropic's Claude chatbot, in the latest example of security issues at the company. A team at a US-based startup compromised a number of OpenAI employees' ChatGPT accounts, starting a process that enabled them to access their target's software cache - and potentially more. "The scope of what we could theoretically access was huge," said researchers at Hacktron AI . Initially, the research team used Claude, which can generate code for hackers, to access ChatGPT accounts via an OpenAI staff discussion forum hosted by the Discourse platform. They then made a harmless "pull request" - an attempt to change the code in a file - to OpenAI's service on the GitHub software repository.

Once the music industry's biggest headache, Napster's next act is bringing AI to the classroom. The name that struck fear into the hearts of music executives in the early dotcom era may be coming to a classroom near you. In Dubai, United Arab Emirates, it has signed a strategic partnership with Gems Education to build AI agents and digital personas for education. In doing so, the once-notorious music-sharing company is bringing its technology into the classroom and testing how AI can augment the work of both teachers and students. Today's Napster, of course, bears no resemblance to its original incarnation as a peer-to-peer music-file-sharing service.

Andrew Hastie has called for artificial intelligence that is run by Australians rather than Americans. Andrew Hastie has called for artificial intelligence that is run by Australians rather than Americans. Andrew Hastie says AI advised him to reply'congratulations!' to man who planned to end life with assisted dying Liberal MP speaks of AI's shortcomings as cyber chief tells inquiry the tech is needed to fend off'highly capable malicious cyber actors' When a man with a terminal illness wrote to his local MP Andrew Hastie, telling him he planned on ending his own life with voluntary assisted dying, Microsoft Copilot suggested Hastie reply with "congratulations!", "great to hear from you" or "that is wonderful news!". Hastie shared the episode at a parliamentary inquiry on Friday to underline the shortcomings of the American-run software as he called for AI run by Australians. The hearing offered the some of the most detailed explanations of the Albanese government's desire to bring Anthropic and OpenAI to Australia, in the face of calls to slow them down or shut them out.

In recent weeks, leaders of some of the biggest AI companies have warned that the very tech they are developing is dangerous. Last weekend, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei argued that AI carries serious risk and that progress should be slowed. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman responded on X: "I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier." Those posts came a few days after the AI researcher Jacob Coxon announced that he was leaving a role at Anthropic, charging that neither it nor OpenAI (where he had also worked) was acting responsibly. "The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade," he posted on X . Another Anthropic employee, Evan Hubinger, publicly agreed with him. "We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans!" he responded on X . "I personally think it is >10% within the next decade."

'Just ask Grok': How ISIL is using Big Tech's AI to build bombs Share'Just ask Grok': How ISIL is using Big Tech's AI to build bombs on social media Boko Haram fighters are using the artificial intelligence chatbots of Big Tech companies to help build more powerful bombs, plan attacks and solve problems during combat, according to research by the University of Cambridge. A number of members described using Sam Altman-led OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, Google's Gemini, Elon Musk's Grok, Mark Zuckerberg's Meta AI and China's DeepSeek as a routine source of technical and military advice before, during and after attacks. Researchers at Tech Against Terrorism infiltrated a pro-ISIL technical forum where supporters instructed one another on how to use AI and circumvent its safety restrictions. The findings come amid growing concern over ISIL's adoption of emerging technologies. In February, United Nations officials warned the Security Council of increased use of advanced AI by ISIL and its affiliates. At the same time, researchers and several of the technology industry's most prominent figures have warned that increasingly powerful AI systems are advancing faster than safeguards, raising concerns that unchecked advances in AI are making it easier for armed groups to exploit the technology.
