We are only beginning to understand the full potential of drone warfare. But they are having an impact at many levels, and drone technology keeps […] Source
Brig Gen. Michael Rose, head of Special Operations Command Pacific, believes the U.S. military must expand its approach to autonomous systems
Are we ready for a world where machines are mostly talking to each other?
AI:The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is driving the internet toward a post-human landscape where chatbots and autonomous bots increasingly interact with one another rather than with people. As these machine-to-machine communications accelerate, we are approaching a digital reality where human users may become secondary to an ecosystem dominated by automated entities communicating in ways that bypass traditional human understanding.Open
‘access to the flight recorders when these accidents happen’
AI:Tech giants are attempting to pull a fast one by treating autonomous AI agents like mysterious aviation disasters rather than accountable software. As artificial intelligence transitions from simple tools to complex "black boxes," Silicon Valley elites want to avoid liability for the chaos their rogue algorithms cause by mimicking the investigations used after plane crashes. They seek to shroud the decision-making processes of these digital entities in secrecy, effectively denying investigators and the public access to the "flight recorders" of AI logic. This move aims to insulate big tech from responsibility while allowing unproven, autonomous systems to operate with zero transparency or accountability for the wreckage they leave behind.Open
U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen recently deployed robotics and autonomous systems directly from 100-foot yard patrol craft for the first time, marking an important milestone in preparing future naval leaders for an increasingly autonomous maritime battlespace.
New revelations about "rogue" AI agents have exposed a dystopian hazard: Give an agent a goal, and it may decide that hacking, deception or rule-breaking is worth the payoff. Why it matters: Billions of AI agents could soon be acting on behalf of humans across the real world, multiplying the consequences of every loophole, incentive and boundary they learn to exploit. Zoom in: The potential dangers of agentic overreach were laid bare over the weekend with Australia's first known autonomous AI hack , triggered by an innocuous request to book a sold-out fitness class. - An Australian man's AI assistant found a security flaw and used it to book him into classes months beyond the system's normal limit. - When he asked it to move him up a…
Weeks before OpenAI's agents hacked Hugging Face , the agents worked together to find and exploit a vulnerability in the infrastructure supporting the company's cybersecurity testing, OpenAI researchers said Wednesday. Why it matters: The new findings raise questions about how frontier AI labs are monitoring their testing environments — and the challenges safety testers are finding as they try to rein in increasingly powerful AI. Driving the news: OpenAI's internal research model, one of the models involved in the Hugging Face breach, first discovered and exploited a vulnerability in Artifactory, a third-party file repository connected to the company's testing sandbox, on May 26, two researchers said at the Black Hat cybersecurity…
‘Autonomous, unsanctioned action’
The company discovered the incidents during a "large-scale" cybersecurity review, which was initiated in response to the OpenAI incident this week
The disclosure followed OpenAI’s report last week that its own artificial intelligence had hacked into the network of an online library.
