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."

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.

Although the move has reassured some creators, it remains unclear exactly when the streaming platform began using the posts, streams, and videos of its users to train Amazon's systems. The revelation is raising new concerns about how big tech companies handle their users' data . The opt-out process is simple.

The Unitree G1 has found online fame as a relatively affordable robot that can charm a crowd. But can it ever hold down a real job? When Edward Warchocki speaks with you, he sounds like a regular guy. "Not super intelligent, but very emotional, very easy to make friends with," says Bartosz Idzik, the person who created him. But when he doesn't talk, it's harder to forget what Warchocki really is: a 4-foot-tall humanoid robot that's wandering the city streets of Poland.

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. AI watermarks are a good idea. Provisions in the EU AI Act for watermarking AI-generated text will likely struggle to keep AI slop purveyors in check. Starting soon, all text that's either generated or "processed" by Claude will bear invisible AI watermarks that can be detected with the right tools, a move made in response to new European Union regulations regarding the disclosure of AI-generated content. Anthropic's wide-ranging pledge to watermark Claude-generated text (including code generated by Claude Code) goes above and beyond the mandates in the EU AI Act, which took effect earlier this month.

DeepSeek made its name offering far cheaper AI services than its pricier western competitors, but the cheap ride appears to be at an end. The company has started telling customers to prepare for significant price rises with the advent of its latest model. With the announcement of DeepSeek V4 Pro, the company is raising its API pricing fourfold. The company said it's adopting a new peak and off-peak pricing to "allocate resources more reasonably." Starting on August 16, the DeepSeek V4 Pro model will cost 3.96 for 1 million output tokens at peak hours, more than four times the current rate of 0.87.
