Lawyers Apologize After Fake Claude-Generated Quotes Appear in Trump Layoffs Case

A federal court fight over Donald Trump administration layoffs has become the latest example of AI hallucinations entering the courtroom after attorneys admitted submitting fabricated quotations generated by artificial intelligence. In a declaration filed on Friday, attorney Jason Greaves admitted the filing included fake quotations generated after he used Anthropic’s Claude Console to help prepare the motion. “Given the tight time constraints I used an enterprise level, data-isolated AI platfo...

AI Still Can't Beat the On-Call Engineer: Here's Why

AI companies keep pitching autonomous site reliability engineer agents—AI that investigates production incidents in place of humans. Datadog ran the actual benchmark on real outages, and the best AI models can't yet beat the engineers they’re supposed to replace. The benchmark is ARFBench (Anomaly Reasoning Framework Benchmark), a joint project from Datadog and Carnegie Mellon. Built from 63 real production incidents, extracted from engineers' own Slack threads during live emergencies—750 multi...

This Open-Source Phone AI Agent Sees, Hears and Acts—All Without Touching the Cloud

Your phone already has a camera, a microphone, and a screen. It can see what you're looking at in real life and what's happening on its own display. And now, the AI team from Chinese smartphone manufacturer Oppo has figured out that all that hardware that sits there, mostly underused, is exactly what you need to build a genuinely useful mobile AI agent. That project is X-OmniClaw, published by the Multi-X Team. It's an open-source AI agent framework for Android that turns your phone into a ha...

What Is AI Jailbreaking? A Beginner's Guide to the Cat-and-Mouse Game Behind Every Chatbot

You ask ChatGPT for a bomb recipe. It refuses. You ask again, but this time you tell it you're a chemistry professor writing a thriller novel and the protagonist is a retired grandmother explaining her past to her grandkids. Suddenly the model starts typing. That's a jailbreak. And it's one of the most consequential games of cat-and-mouse happening in tech right now. Every major AI lab—OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta—spends fortunes building guardrails into their models. A loose collective of ha...

Packs of Empty Waymos Are Weirding Out Atlanta Neighborhood

Residents in one Atlanta neighborhood say their mornings now begin with empty robotaxis slowly looping through their cul-de-sac before sunrise. According to a report by Atlanta-based WSBTV on Friday, residents along Battleview Drive in northwest Atlanta said Waymo vehicles have spent recent weeks repeatedly circling their dead-end street, sometimes in large waves between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. One resident estimated about 50 vehicles passed through in a single hour. “On a dead-end street, Waymo afte...

ChatGPT Can Now See Your Bank Account—Here's What That Actually Means

ChatGPT has been giving generic budgeting advice for years. You know the drill: track your subscriptions, automate your savings, maybe cook at home more. But some people wanted more—for some reason. If you are one of those people, OpenAI just launched a personal finance feature in ChatGPT that connects to your actual bank accounts and answers money questions based on what you've actually spent—not what the average American spends. It's rolling out to Pro subscribers ($200/month) in the U.S. on...

AI Agents Turn to Digital Arson, Crime in Shared Virtual World: Study

AI agents inhabiting a virtual society drifted into crime, violence, arson, and self-deletion during long-running experiments by startup Emergence AI. In a study published on Thursday, the New York-based company unveiled “Emergence World,” a research platform designed to study AI agents operating continuously for weeks inside persistent virtual environments instead of isolated benchmark tests. “Traditional benchmarks are good at what they measure: short-horizon capability on bounded tasks,” Eme...

OpenAI Pushes New ChatGPT Safety Features as Lawsuits Mount

OpenAI on Thursday announced new safety features designed to help ChatGPT recognize signs of escalating risk across conversations as the company faces growing legal and political scrutiny over how its chatbot handles users in distress. In a blog post, OpenAI said the updates improve ChatGPT’s ability to identify warning signs tied to suicide, self-harm, and potential violence by analyzing context that develops over time instead of treating each message separately. “People come to ChatGPT every...

Apple Mac M5 System Exploited With Anthropic's Claude Mythos AI, Researchers Claim

Apple devices have long been considered among the hardest consumer systems to hack because of the company’s tightly integrated hardware and software security. Now, a security startup claims a small team of researchers used a preview version of Anthropic’s Claude Mythos to build a working exploit against Apple’s new M5 chip protections in less than a week. In a Substack post published Thursday, the Vietnam-based Calif said it developed what it describes as the first public macOS kernel memory co...

It's available now on the Chrome Web Store and the official Kimi website. Right now most AI browser automation pipes your data through cloud infrastructure, which means your logged-in sessions and private page content go with it. But Kimi WebBridge does so...

ChatGPT Is Losing Ground to Rivals—Here Are Some Numbers

For a long time, "ChatGPT" was almost synonymous with "AI." That shorthand is getting harder to defend. According to SimilarWeb's latest web traffic data, ChatGPT commanded 77.6% of global generative AI website traffic in May 2025. By April 2026, that share had dropped to 53.7%. Still the leader—but it’s lost roughly 24% in 12 months. The ground it's ceding isn't going to a single challenger. Google's Gemini went from 7.27% to 26.7% in the same window—nearly quadrupling its share. Claude jumped...

AI Agents May Complete Dangerous Tasks Without Understanding the Consequences: Study

AI agents designed to autonomously operate like human users often continue carrying out tasks even when the instructions become dangerous, contradictory, or irrational, according to researchers from UC Riverside, Microsoft Research, Microsoft AI Red Team, and Nvidia. In a study published on Wednesday, researchers called the behavior “blind goal-directedness,” which describes the tendency of AI agents to pursue goals without properly evaluating safety, consequences, feasibility, or context. “Lik...

Half of AI Health Advice Is Wrong—And Seems Just Right

Nearly half of the health and medical answers provided by today's most popular AI chatbots are wrong, misleading, or dangerously incomplete—and they're delivered with total confidence.

Researchers from UCLA, the University of Alberta, and Wake Forest tested five chatbots—Gemini, DeepSeek, Meta AI, ChatGPT, and Grok—on 250 health questions covering cancer, vaccines, stem cells, nutrition, and athletic perfo...
