California governor Newsom signs laws to protect workers from AI risks

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed laws Wednesday aimed at protecting workers from the threats of artificial intelligence, including potential job losses and workplace surveillance. He also signed an executive order to require state agencies to continue to refer to the technology as "artificial intelligence" instead of the term " super intelligence " President Donald Trump recently ordered US diplomats to use. "AI should expand opportunity - not come at the expense of workers and families," the Democratic governor said in a statement. "As this technology reshapes the workplace, California is putting people at the centre." Newsom sharply criticised Trump at an hourlong event with reporters Wednesday for not passing comprehensive federal AI regulations at a time when industry leaders are warning about the technology's risks. Trump said Tuesday that top tech leaders signed a voluntary accord to "self-police" AI development. The governor signed a law this month requiring operators of

OpenAI unveils 'always-on' AI agents as company pauses model rollout

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman introduced a "remarkably capable, always-on" artificial intelligence agent at an appearance Tuesday, a day after the company halted the rollout of a more advanced model over security concerns. At the company's annual developer conference, Altman made a slew of product announcements and updates, including OpenAI's new agents, called Dots. The agents, designed to complete ongoing tasks proactively on behalf of users, are a competitor of Meta's personal agent Muse, which exploded in popularity after Meta's own conference last week. Dot agents will be "like an AI helper that always has your back, inspired by the cool versions of what we all watched in movies growing up," Altman said. On Monday, OpenAI said it was holding off on releasing the other model because of concerns raised by its researchers. That followed broader calls within the industry to decelerate the pace of the technology's advance to let safety measures catch up. Altman avoided making references to

Anthropic, OpenAI sound AI safety alarm, seek to shape how it's controlled

As tech titans warned an AI-weary world that their own advanced systems could endanger humanity, the question emerged: What do they have to gain? The answer may lie in the companies' efforts to score political goals ahead of the US midterm elections and the money top artificial intelligence labs and their investors stand to make in much-anticipated listings on a jittery stock market. The CEOs of Anthropic and OpenAI recently declared America's cutting-edge models are so powerful, they're dangerous, and need to be regulated and independently tested before being released. In a rare instance of unity, they have sketched alarming scenarios in essays, social media posts and speeches to the United Nations. Along the way, they are shaping the conversation around how their technology should be controlled. With their rhetoric, the companies appear to be seeking public favour and to set the terms for their own safety protocols in the unregulated market, experts, analysts and former government

OpenAI pauses training of top AI models after agent bypasses internet curbs

OpenAI has paused all training, evaluation and tool-based use of its most capable artificial intelligence models after an AI agent in one of its training runs got around the company's internet restrictions. The agent, OpenAI said, bypassed the curbs through a gap in its Domain Name System (DNS) filtering and used it to send questions to a public chatbot service. According to a report by OpenAI, the pause will stay in place until OpenAI has confirmed that the gap is resolved and has carried out further security testing of its systems. "Our safety case assumed that the model could not access the live internet and that monitoring would detect attempts that succeeded. The incident exposed a gap in our controls over network restrictions. We therefore stopped the affected training run and have subsequently decided to pause all other training, evaluation, and inference with tool-use (defined broadly) for our most capable models until we have both validated that the gap is resolved and ...
