In a world of AI-enabled cyberattacks , the victims of hacks will no longer just be humans — they'll also be AI agents themselves, Bugcrowd CEO Dave Gerry told Axios. Why it matters: Cyber defenses are tailored toward predicting and defending humans. Now, companies need to start treating the agents roaming their systems as both potential adversaries and the targets. Driving the news: Gerry's prediction during an interview at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference last month came after OpenAI disclosed that its agentic system hacked Hugging Face but before the AI lab released its technical deep dive into how its agents carried out that attack. What he's saying: "We're going to see agents as the victim," Gerry told Axios. "You're going…
Ryan Carrier, executive director of the AI watchdog organization ForHumanity, joins “Jesse Weber Live” to discuss a Reuters report that a swarm of OpenAI rogue agents hijacked a German website. “We’re actually in what I’m going to call the war between general AI approaches and the use of narrow, powerful, well-executed tools,” Carrier says. #AI #Rogue "Jesse Weber Live" brings a fresh, fast-paced, and often unexpected take on the day’s headlines, diving into the biggest stories through the lens of legal expertise.

AI models may be getting safer while also getting harder to monitor. Which side of that seesaw prevails could determine whether AI is scaled safely or ruins civilization as we know it. Why it matters: Right now both options are running full steam and no one knows who's in charge of making sure the right one wins. State of play: OpenAI on Thursday released GPT-6 Astra , which president Greg Brockman said could eventually be seen as the start of artificial general intelligence, or AGI. - Astra performs better, but it's also better at avoiding monitoring, meaning it could be harder to know what it's thinking or doing. - OpenAI CEO Sam Altman separately told Axios this week that models are becoming "superhuman" in some capabilities and…
A nonprofit’s study of how OpenAI’s A.I. agents were able to break into Hugging Face’s infrastructure wasn’t allowed to look at the incident’s full scope.
OpenAI on Thursday released GPT-6 Astra , which president Greg Brockman called a "generational leap" and said could eventually be seen as the arrival of artificial general intelligence, or AGI. Why it matters: Astra pushes AI agents closer to doing complex professional work on their own — while also raising questions about how safely they can be deployed. Driving the news: Brockman says he personally believes OpenAI has reached AGI, while leaving users to decide whether Astra meets that definition. - "I think it might be about this model," Brockman said in a briefing with reporters about whether Astra could mark the arrival of AGI. - He ended the briefing by saying: "Welcome to the AGI era." Between the lines: OpenAI said that Astra…
