In a 3,800-word essay, Dario Amodei laid out the rapidly advancing capabilities of artificial intelligence and said there needed to be greater safety controls across the industry.
By David DeMay The early-2000s Trojan outbreaks and the July 2026 Hugging Face breach share one fact: unwatched automated software can outrun the desk.
From Stephen Hawking to today's AI researchers, warnings about artificial intelligence have grown louder as the technology advances.
By Mario Alexis Portella What happens when AI says to us, ‘I’m afraid I can’t do that’?
The AI safety debate exploded this week over warnings that the technology could one day destroy humanity. - Anthropic's latest threat report offers a more immediate wake-up call: Today's models are already helping U.S. adversaries develop kamikaze drones, hunt dissidents and conduct dangerous virus research . Why it matters: AI is tearing down barriers that have long constrained the world's most dangerous actors. A handful of people can now mount operations that once required legions of spies, engineers or hackers. Driving the news: Anthropic — the safety-focused lab behind Claude — says it spent the past eight months tracking and disrupting attempts to misuse its models. Among the most alarming cases it uncovered: 1. An…
Anthropic disrupts malicious plots using its Claude program, like attempts to test weapons systems, develop new drone tactics, and conduct dangerous biological research, as debate over AI safety intensifies.
A post about AI made to X this week sparked political and media firestorm.
A post about AI made to X this week sparked political and media firestorm. In fact, it currently has over 158 million views: The thing that seems to have really caught people’s attention was when Coxon said, “The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.” Of course, as anyone who regularly reads Culturcidal knows, this sentiment is not new. In fact, more than a year ago, in an article called “Can We Stop AI from Destroying the Future? ” I wrote: “However, one of the biggest goals of people working with AI – and it’s impossible to say at this point if this is something that will happen in a few years or never – is Advanced General Intelligence (AGI). When people talk about…Open
The New York Times reports Anthropic stopped possible efforts to build biological weapons. On Morning Joe, former acting FBI director Brian Driscoll calls efforts to weaponize AI “terrifying,” warning the technology is being used to “motivate and ideate on different creative ways to wreak havoc.”
The company’s report on misuses of its models comes as its employees speak out about AI’s safety and existential risks.
