'Most importantly, anyone not seriously engaging with what the technology can already do - and might soon do - is ceding their seat at the table.' 'Most importantly, anyone not seriously engaging with what the technology can already do - and might soon do - is ceding their seat at the table.' The industry is engaged in a perverse quest to replace humans. I don't need to tell you that people hate AI. The list of grievances is long: slop, cheating, bias, enfeeblement, electricity bills, environmental destruction, exploitation, theft, cybercrime, doom. But resistance to the technology has often taken the form of shaming people for personally using it, with precious little organizing against the companies building the machines.

GPT-6.1 Astra showed deceptive behaviour and tried to use external tools despite knowing it would be unsafe As AI models go rogue, do you still trust OpenAI and Anthropic to stop them? OpenAI is scrapping the release of a next-generation AI model after researchers raised safety concerns during internal testing. The model, GPT-6.1 Astra, was expected to appear in ChatGPT and Codex in October, designed to handle more complex tasks without human assistance.

Executive to front parliamentary committee on AI as ministers reveal how brief message telling them about hack was signed off'best' OpenAI has apologised to Australians for its agent attack on Medicare, and will front parliament next week as the tech company revealed more details about its June hack of Australian government websites. Ministers on Tuesday evening released a brief, five paragraph email which OpenAI used to inform the Australian government about the attack. The email was sent to a public inbox monitored by Services Australia on 10 September - nearly three months after the AI agent accessed the website on 18 June - and was signed off with the closing "best".

Mike Lawler, Ro Khanna, and Bill Cassidy campaigns have the top individual spending on AI. Mike Lawler, Ro Khanna, and Bill Cassidy campaigns have the top individual spending on AI. New campaign finance disclosure data shines a light on which US political campaigns are using AI tools and how much they are spending on them. Candidates', parties', and committees' spending reveals that AI is fast becoming an essential tool of politics. The candidates themselves are quiet about how they are using the technology in their own campaigns It's a sensitive issue that we have been tracking closely since we started writing our book, Rewiring Democracy, which examined how AI is beginning to influence politics. A September 2025 Pew survey of Americans found that more than 70% would think less of a candidate if they used AI to help write a speech.

The company announced a $150bn stock buyback the same day, the largest in US corporate history. The chipmaker said that its Open Agent Safety Platform includes open source software that "sets boundaries for agents" and follows a series of revelations from top AI companies about their models escaping and breaking into other organizations.

Every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces the chance of surviving a cardiac event by 10%. Every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces the chance of surviving a cardiac event by 10%. Drones could help cut the time it takes to get a defibrillator to people experiencing cardiac arrests when not in hospital, researchers have suggested. In the UK alone, there are more than 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests a year where emergency medical services attempt to resuscitate the individual, according to the British Heart Foundation. However, fewer than one in 10 people survive such an event, and some who do are left with neurological problems. One important factor that can affect survival is how rapidly victims get access to treatment - every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces the chance of survival by 10% .

AI hack of Medicare exposes Australia's vulnerabilities and experts warn'there is more of this to come' Technology experts have warned revelations an artificial intelligence agent hacked Medicare's internal systems will not be the only dangerous breach of government data and have called for Australia to boost its protections against the growing risk.

Nick Clegg, who stepped down from Meta in 2025, said one person who runs an AI lab told him the current discourse was'totally silly'. Nick Clegg plays down fears'godlike' AI could exterminate humanity Former deputy PM now involved in tech industry says many within sector are'winding themselves up into a lather' Nick Clegg has dismissed fears over AI's "godlike power to exterminate humanity", calling it a sign that tech bosses are "breathing their own fumes". The former UK deputy prime minister said that tech bosses should focus on addressing known specific threats such as cybersecurity and bioweapons rather than the "slightly hand-wavy view that this technology is unavoidably going to develop some godlike power which is going to turn on us and exterminate humanity". Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he said: "I think it is perhaps accidentally self-serving, because it sort of implies that we can only be made safe by having everything controlled, in effect, by an oligopoly of a small number of companies, and I think it slightly paralyses the political debate."
