By Mario Alexis Portella What happens when AI says to us, ‘I’m afraid I can’t do that’?
Researchers at Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta and Google are increasingly trying to raise awareness about the risks of artificial intelligence.
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.
As AI anxiety grows, Rep. Ted Lieu is pushing for a mandatory "kill switch" to pull the plug on rogue AI programs. Lieu tells Erin Burnett, "If we can't do that...we might as well just pack up our bags and go to some island in the South Pacific and wait for the apocalypse. #AIPolicy

The company’s report on misuses of its models comes as its employees speak out about AI’s safety and existential risks.
This week's dire warnings about unchecked artificial intelligence destroying humanity are refocusing attention on how models already are being used in dangerous bioscience experiments — and the lack of safeguards. Why it matters: There's growing alarm about emerging risks from advances like AI-designed viruses. But it's hard to erect guardrails when there's no ironclad way of even knowing how some AI systems will act. - AI-enabled bioweapons are one of the worst-case scenarios researchers have raised for the kind of catastrophic danger that could wipe out humanity. Driving the news: On Thursday, Anthropic disclosed that it disrupted five potential instances of actors using its models in ways that could support the development of…
