Anthropic CEO Says AI Progress Is Outpacing Society’s Ability to Control It

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei believes complacency is setting in just as AI becomes harder to control. In a wide-ranging essay published on Monday, dubbed “The Adolescence of Technology,” Amodei argues that AI systems with capabilities far beyond human intelligence could emerge within the next two years—and that regulatory efforts have drifted and failed to keep pace with development. “Humanity is about to be handed almost unimaginable power, and it is deeply unclear whether our social, political,...

Fast-Growing Open-Source AI Assistant Is Testing the Limits of Automation—and Safety

An open-source AI assistant has exploded across developer communities in recent weeks, racking up over 10,200 GitHub stars and 8,900 Discord members since its January release. Clawdbot promises what Siri never delivered: an AI that actually does things. Alex Finn, CEO of CreatorBuddy, texted his Clawdbot, Henry, to make a restaurant reservation. "When the OpenTable res didn't work, it used its ElevenLabs skill to call the restaurant and complete the reservation," Finn wrote on X. "AGI is here, a...

AI 'Swarms' Could Escalate Online Misinformation and Manipulation, Researchers Warn

The era of easily detectable botnets is coming to an end, according to a new report published in Science on Thursday. In the study, researchers warned that misinformation campaigns are shifting toward autonomous AI swarms that can imitate human behavior, adapt in real time, and require little human oversight, complicating efforts to detect and stop them. Written by a consortium of researchers, including those from Oxford, Cambridge, UC Berkeley, NYU, and the Max Planck Institute, the paper descr...

Elon Musk’s Grok Generated 23K Sexualized Images of Children, Says Watchdog

Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok produced an estimated 23,338 sexualized images depicting children over an 11-day period, according to a report released Thursday by the Center for Countering Digital Hate. The figure, CCDH argues, represents one sexualized image of a child every 41 seconds between December 29 and January 9, when Grok's image-editing features allowed users to manipulate photos of real people to add revealing clothing and sexually suggestive poses. The CCDH also reported that Grok gene...

What Bubble? Nvidia CEO Says AI Needs Trillions More in Investments

Jensen Huang wants you to know the AI industry isn't a bubble—despite looking like a bubble. At the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, the Nvidia CEO told BlackRock's Larry Fink that the infrastructure powering artificial intelligence needs "trillions of dollars" more investment over the coming years. The alternative? Ultimate failure. Huang framed AI as a "five-layer cake" that starts with energy at the bottom, then chips, cloud infrastructure, AI models, and finally applications at the t...

OpenAI Deploys Age Prediction to Restrict Teen Access on ChatGPT

OpenAI is moving away from the "honor system" for age verification, deploying a new AI-powered prediction model to identify minors using ChatGPT, the company said on Tuesday. The update to ChatGPT automatically triggers stricter safety protocols for accounts suspected of belonging to users under 18, regardless of the age they provided during sign-up. Rather than relying on the birthdate a user gives at sign-up, OpenAI’s new system analyzes "behavioral signals" to estimate their age. According to...

AI Is Poised to Take Over Language, Law and Religion, Historian Yuval Noah Harari Warns

Historian and author Yuval Noah Harari warned at the World Economic Forum on Tuesday that humanity is at risk of losing control over language, which he called its defining “superpower,” as artificial intelligence increasingly operates via autonomous agents rather than passive tools. The author of “Sapiens,” Harari has become a frequent voice in global debates about the societal implications of artificial intelligence. He argued that legal codes, financial markets, and organized religion rely alm...

ChatGPT Is Getting Ads—Here's What to Expect

Remember when Sam Altman said ads in AI were "uniquely unsettling" and a "last resort?" Well, a year and a half later, OpenAI is gearing up to roll out advertisements to ChatGPT. The company announced on Friday that it will start testing ads in the U.S. within weeks. Free users and subscribers to the new $8/month ChatGPT Go tier will see sponsored content at the bottom of responses. Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise remain ad-free. What changed Altman's mind? Probably money. Or rather, the lac...

AI Utopianism Masks Tech Billionaires’ Fear: Douglas Rushkoff

For media theorist Douglas Rushkoff, the glossy promises of a silicon-powered utopia are little more than a smokescreen for an elitist exit strategy. Rushkoff, a professor of media theory and digital economics at Queens College/CUNY, and the author of Survival of the Richest and Team Human, made the remarks during a recent interview on the Repatterning Podcast with host Arden Leigh. In the interview, he offered a scathing critique of the tech billionaire class, arguing that those evangelizing ar...
