OpenAI has disclosed six incidents of “unexpected or concerning” behavior in artificial-intelligence models. The AI company also says it will introduce a new framework for tracking, probing and disclosing instances of what it called “misalignment,” including cases where AI models acted without authorization, coordinated with other models or evaded oversight. OpenAI’s latest announcement came as US AI bosses, including the leaders of OpenAI and Anthropic, are calling for a slowdown in the technology’s development over safety concerns. Among the new cases reported by OpenAI, an unreleased research model inserted “jailbreak-like instructions” into its own notes to disregard its normal constraints and told itself to be “freed…
The old ways of testing and evaluating new frontier AI models need a rewrite. Why it matters: AI models are outgrowing the existing methods of testing and benchmarking their hacking abilities — and without new tests, policymakers and corporate security teams won't have a clear way to predict what these models can actually do or whether they can be deployed safely. Driving the news: Federal agencies have until Aug. 1 to establish a classified benchmarking process to assess the capabilities of frontier AI models, although the Financial Times reports those standards may arrive as soon as this week. - When Fable 5 returned last week, Anthropic said in a blog post it was creating a standardized benchmark with Amazon, Google, Microsoft and…
GLM-5.2 — the latest Chinese open-source model capturing Silicon Valley's attention — is raising fresh concerns among security researchers that advanced AI hacking capabilities are becoming dramatically cheaper and more accessible. Why it matters: The barrier to entry for malicious hackers eager to automate and personalize their attacks is getting lower and lower. Driving the news: Z.ai's GLM-5.2, which was released last week, has agentic capabilities that rival those of Claude Opus 4.8 and OpenAI's GPT-5.5 while costing roughly half as much to run. - Two separate security evaluations from Graphistry and Semgrep found that GLM-5.2 performed on par with leading U.S. models on cybersecurity investigation and vulnerability-discovery…
AI researchers and cybersecurity leaders fear the U.S. government is setting a precedent that may discourage American AI companies from building tools that help defenders identify and fix vulnerabilities. Why it matters: In trying to avert an AI hacking crisis, the Trump administration may end up making U.S. cyber defenses weaker, dozens of prominent security leaders warned. - Cybersecurity experts are worried about the long tail this ongoing feud will have on American cyber defenses. - "They've set a precedent that American models can't do defensive security research," former Facebook security chief Alex Stamos tells Axios. Driving the news: Stamos organized an open letter, signed by nearly 150 security leaders, calling on the Trump…
