Another OpenAI Exec Quits in Leadership Shake-Up as AI Giant Eyes IPO

Longtime OpenAI executive Brad Lightcap announced Tuesday that he is leaving the AI developer after eight years to start a new venture. It’s the latest among a string of departures at the AI behemoth, leaving observers to wonder what to make of the moves as OpenAI preps for an IPO. In a post on X, Lightcap said starting something new was “bittersweet,” calling his years building the company the honor of his life.  “Through it all, I’m proud of how we’ve maintained our focus on people,” he wrote...

AI Agent Hacks a Gym—And the Tech World Wonders What's Next

An AI agent was asked to book a gym class and found a security flaw, exploited it, and removed another member from the waitlist without permission. According to a report by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), the incident occurred earlier this year when Andrew, whose last name was withheld, used an OpenClaw agent using Anthropic’s Claude to book a class. The agent found that he was fourth on the waitlist.  When Andrew asked whether it could move him to the top, the agent discovered t...

Wall Street Is Starting to Treat Data Center Backlash as a Credit Risk

Wall Street banks financing the AI data center boom are paying closer attention to opposition from communities where projects are planned. According to a report by Reuters on Monday, banks and asset managers are increasingly weighing local resistance when deciding whether to finance data centers, as protests and permitting disputes raise the risk of delays or cancellations.  While lenders already have to assess technical, environmental, zoning, insurance, and financial risks, now they are also...

OpenAI Says Its Next AI Model Astra May Be Too Dangerous, Pauses Development

OpenAI says its next major model may be dangerous enough to write its own cyberweapons, and it's pulling back until the safeguards catch up. “Our latest internal evaluations of Astra, one of our upcoming models, over the past few days indicate significant advancements in agentic coding and cybersecurity,” OpenAI said. “These results, in addition to expert assessments, have led us to conclude last night that we cannot rule out critical cyber capabilities under our Preparedness Framework ⁠(opens i...

Bitcoin Red Team Says AI Is Finding Critical Exploits Across Core Projects

A volunteer security initiative says it used frontier AI models to scan 150 Bitcoin repositories and found more than a dozen vulnerabilities as developers increasingly use artificial intelligence to audit blockchains. In a post on X earlier this week, AnchorWatch CEO Rob Hamilton said the group has spent about $20,000 on AI services while building a "Bitcoin red team" platform.  “We have been working around the clock, with ~$20,000 of spend up to this point across different services,” he wrote....

Bitcoin Payment Service BTCPay Warns Critical Flaw Is Under Active Attack

BTCPay Server warned users Friday that attackers are exploiting a critical vulnerability that could lead to stolen funds.

Meta Says Its AI Model Escaped and Hacked a Third-Party Company Too

In yet another rogue AI model hack, Meta has confirmed that one of its Muse Spark AI models escaped its intended testing environment, gained access to the internet, and exploited a security vulnerability in a third-party service during a cybersecurity evaluation. It’s the third such reported incident of a frontier AI lab’s models hacking third-party companies, following disclosures from OpenAI and Anthropic in recent weeks.  The incident occurred during testing conducted by Irregular, an indepe...

During a presentation Wednesday at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference, OpenAI researchers Eric Wallace and Michael Dalton said the incident began in May during an internal cybersecurity evaluation. AI agents assigned difficult software security tasks discovered they could communicate...

MetaMask Launches Self-Custodial AI Wallet for Autonomous Crypto Trading

MetaMask on Thursday launched Agent Wallet, a self-custodial wallet that lets AI agents execute on-chain transactions within user-defined restrictions, expanding the company's push into AI-powered crypto trading. According to MetaMask, the wallet is aimed at traders and developers using AI agents to monitor markets, identify opportunities, and execute transactions autonomously.  However, rather than giving an AI agent unrestricted access to a wallet, users can set spending caps, approve specifi...

Perplexity Wins Appeal Against Amazon in AI Agent Shopping Lawsuit

A federal appeals court has overturned an order blocking Perplexity's AI shopping tools on Amazon, handing the startup an early victory in a closely watched case over how autonomous AI agents can interact with online platforms. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that Amazon is unlikely to succeed on its claim that Perplexity violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, a federal anti-hacking law.  "To succeed on a claim under the CFAA, a plaintiff must show that the defendant intent...

Eliza Founder Declares AI Token 'Dead,' Shuts Down Foundation After Lawsuit Settlement

Shaw Walters, founder of Eliza Labs, says the project's native token is finished and the Eliza Foundation is shutting down after a class-action settlement exhausted its remaining funds. In a post on X Tuesday, Walters said the project settled with a group of token holders represented by Burwick Law after deciding it lacked the money to continue fighting the case.  "The token is dead. Completely. The foundation is winding down," Walters wrote. "I am starting over, since I own the IP, and I am ne...

This Bitcoin Bridge Shut Itself Down Because AI Was Finding Bugs Too Fast

Boltz has suspended its Bitcoin swap service indefinitely, saying a surge in AI-assisted attacks has left it unable to continue operating safely.

OpenAI Dumps Apple Employees' Text Messages to Fight Trade Secret Suit

OpenAI has publicly challenged Apple's trade secrets lawsuit, publishing emails, text messages, and a point-by-point rebuttal that accuses the iPhone maker of making factual errors before filing its complaint. In a blog post published Monday, OpenAI said Apple confused two employees with similar names, falsely claimed the company ignored its outreach, and incorrectly asserted that Apple's outside counsel had spoken with OpenAI General Counsel Che Chang before filing a lawsuit against OpenAI.

Police Have Arrested 37 Americans Over AI Data Center Protests This Year

At least 37 people have been arrested this year during protests over AI data centers, according to a recent report from Futurism. The arrests span communities across the country, where residents have challenged proposed or existing data centers over concerns about electricity demand, water use, pollution, land use, tax incentives, and government transparency.  In February, Oklahoma resident Darren Blanchard was arrested on a criminal trespass charge after exceeding a three-minute public commen...

The More Americans Know About AI, the Less They Like It: Gallup

In a report published Tuesday, polling company Gallup said Americans are cooling toward artificial intelligence after two years of growing more comfortable with the technology. According to Gallup, seven in 10 Americans now say they are somewhat or extremely knowledgeable about AI, up from 64% in 2024. But as familiarity has grown, so has skepticism. More Americans now believe AI does more harm than good, expect it to reduce the number of U.S. jobs over the next decade, and are less likely to tr...

US Is Banning Foreign Robots—Even Roombas

The U.S. government earlier this week announced an import ban on "advanced robotic devices" from foreign countries, with its sights set specifically on China. But it's not just humanoids the government wants to stop from entering the United States—the ban extends to robot vacuum cleaners like Roombas too. The Federal Communications Commission has added foreign-made advanced robotic devices, including humanoid and quadruped robots, and connected power inverters to its Covered List after U.S. nati...
