Scientists urge tighter AI controls to prevent global cyber risks
A group of more than 300 scientists from around the world is calling for urgent changes to how artificial intelligence is developed and deployed amid growing concerns about its unpredictable behaviour. The letter, released on Tuesday and signed by researchers representing universities and research institutes in 32 countries, warned that failures to follow basic cybersecurity practices could lead to damage to critical infrastructure. They recommended that organisations developing and testing advanced AI systems capable of carrying out cyberattacks do so in more tightly controlled environments, including "air-gapped" systems that are not connected to the internet. The letter comes amid growing concerns about AI's capabilities and its potential impact on everyday users. On Monday, Anthropic warned that its AI models could soon be capable of creating self-spreading malware that could affect everyday internet-connected devices, including smart TVs, security cameras and smart appliances such as ovens.
OpenAI and Anthropic Tell British Lawmakers: Regulate Us
AI leaders joined whistleblowers and security leaders at a sweeping parliamentary session, while a few hundred meters away Britain's spy chief warned AI could be used to create new bioweapons. Representatives for OpenAI and Anthropic told a British parliamentary hearing that voluntary pledges were no longer enough to ensure safety and that new laws should be introduced, deepening a public schism with Google DeepMind and Meta, both of which declined to back new legislation. The Business, Innovation, Science, and Trade Committee, comprising a cross-party panel of MPs, held an evidence session on Tuesday with appearances from four frontier AI firms, four former staff of the firms turned whistleblowers and senior British civil servants. "The rules should be binding," Anthropic's head of Europe Liam Booth-Smith told the committee, when asked if the company's view was that AI safety now needs a statutory framework . The company, he said, has "consistently believed that there should be binding rules on companies and that voluntary commitments are not enough."
Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini 2 hands-on: A look at the audio updates and Siri AI
Let's start with the Apple TV 4K. The main upgrades here are meant to bring Siri AI to the living room, primarily for content discovery. Thanks to the assistant's ability to pull in context from places like Messages, you can ask it to do things like "play the show Sam texted me about." The new Apple TV 4K has far field microphones built in, so the Siri experience is now hands-free, meaning you could shout at it from your couch. This worked well the demo area I was in, though I have to point out the environment was relatively quiet.
