Z.ai's latest AI model release could help companies secure their systems--or find its way into the hands of hackers. Last Friday, the Chinese AI company Z.ai announced a powerful open-weight model that it says is capable of automating cutting-edge coding and cybersecurity tasks almost as well as the best publicly available models from Anthropic and OpenAI . The new model, GLM 5.3, could be a gift for companies looking to secure their systems against attacks, providing a cheaper way to scan for hidden bugs and other weaknesses. Open-weight--or free-to-download--models can be run on one's own hardware and are often significantly less costly than closed models like Claude and GPT. Alongside the new model, Z.ai released OpenVuln, a service for scanning code repositories for vulnerabilities using GLM 5.3.

Apple appears to have accidentally leaked its camera-equipped AirPods in a video tucked into the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate, MacRumors reported. The new AirPods are said to have a camera that can feed low-res imagery to Apple's long-delayed AI Siri assistant, which can then tell the viewer what they're seeing via a new function called Visual Intelligence. They were first tipped by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman back in May. In the video (also revealed by X user @aaronp613), a man wearing AirPods asks Siri to remember the book he's currently checking out. In response, Siri's voiceover states: "With Visual Intelligence, your world becomes saveable. Just ask me to save it for later."

The changes to the Claude AI chatbot will leave a pattern in the text that is detectable to Anthropic itself and to those able to decode it. The changes to the Claude AI chatbot will leave a pattern in the text that is detectable to Anthropic itself and to those able to decode it. Claude to start watermarking AI-generated text - but will it make quality worse? The world is familiar by now with the usual tropes of machine-generated text: overuse of the word "delve", an excess of em dashes, and the chirpy, relentless construction of "it's not X but Y" . But is it about to get even worse?

Here's why it matters, and how administrators can disable it today. Internal AI access can create compliance and privacy risks. Workspace admins can turn off intelligence sources. Google gives Gemini access to Workspace data by default.

As part of a restructuring, OpenAI reportedly disbanded its "preparedness" team that assesses the potential for catastrophic risks with its models, The Financial Times reported. The Sam Altman-led company is said to have made the move at the end of last month, despite the fact that several of its models recently went rogue and hacked the AI tool repository, Hugging Face. Senior staff within separate teams have now been assigned responsibility for different areas of preparedness like bio and cyber, according to the article. OpenAI described the staff cuts as part of a "streamlining process" ahead of its IPO, after Altman asked employees to cut back on "side quests" and focus on its core ChatGPT business. OpenAI has put some higher-profile side quests on the chopping block of late, recently eliminating its Sora video generation app that became famously associated with AI "slop."

A fourth party is pursuing legal action against xAI, alleging that Grok was used to create child sexual abuse material (CSAM) based on her childhood photos. As first reported by Washington Post, the woman, named as Jane Doe 4 in the lawsuit, said that her stepfather used Grok to create "thousands of sexually explicit images of her as a child and traded them online." According to the the lawsuit, the stepfather created more than 7,000 "fake explicit images of her using the AI chatbot Grok," including converting a photo taken of her when she was 11 into a sexually explicit image. Eventually, state and local law enforcement raided her stepfather's electronic devices for CSAM and two days after, he was found dead by suicide in his car, according to the report. Jane Doe 4 joins three other teenagers, who filed the original lawsuit that alleged that Grok was used to create sexually explicit deepfake images of them.

Why are sandwiches more regulated than AI? Futurist Max Tegmark wonders why sandwiches are more regulated than artificial intelligence in the US. The biggest danger facing mankind is a machine that can "outsmart the whole species", argues Max Tegmark, professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and founder of the Future of Life Institute. Tegmark tells host Steve Clemons that governments and tech companies are in a "race to replace" human labour, instead of solving human problems. "It's aimed at getting more money and power to a very small number of individuals," he says. But a slew of suicides and murders committed by people chatting with AI chatbots has led to pushback against the Silicon Valley "don't regulate us" lobby.

The first anti-AI protester to be jailed has a message for OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta: 'Regain your humanity' Wynd Kaufman, 69, chained and locked the front doors of OpenAI's headquarters last year with members of StopAI A n activist who blocked the entrance to one of the world's biggest AI companies is believed to have become the first person jailed for protesting against artificial intelligence as supporters dub her the "Rosa Parks of AI risk". Wynd Kaufman, 69, surrendered herself on Friday to authorities in San Francisco . She was found guilty by a jury for her role in an action last year that saw members of the group StopAI chain and lock the front doors of OpenAI's headquarters in protest against the pursuit of artificial superintelligence. The retired teacher from Berkeley, California, refused to move from a sit-in protest in February 2025 and pleaded not guilty to multiple misdemeanor charges. She was convicted in June of interfering with a business, trespassing with intent to interfere with a business, unlawful assembly and refusal to disburse a riot.
