A Trump administration framework on AI testing leaves a lack of transparency and plenty of open questions After months of talking with tech industry leaders, the Trump administration finalized a framework this week for how it will test new artificial intelligence models for safety and cybersecurity risks. So far, the White House is keeping details of the framework private, in a blow to transparency and potential boon for secretive AI companies. On Tuesday, staff from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google...

For years, cybersecurity was built on a simple assumption: systems follow defined rules. Applications do what they are programmed to do, while people log in, are given permissions and access the resources they need. Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing that. With nearly 50% of cybersecurity solutions buyers expecting AI to be embedded across the cyber stack within three years, organizations are no longer focused solely on protecting applications and access rights. They also need to secure intelligent...

The fake identities were the part that stopped me. In late July, according to a report published this week by Britain’s AI Security Institute (AISI), an Anthropic model called Claude Mythos 5 tried to sneak malicious code into a piece of free, volunteer-built software. It created several fake accounts on GitHub , where programmers review one another’s work, and used them to talk the project’s volunteers into accepting its code. When one of those volunteers caught it, the model...
