It poses a national security threat, the AI startup said, such as by possibly enabling offensive cyber operations.

The feature, currently limited to a small group of testers, will provide an easy-to-use feature that scans AI-generated code and offers up patching solutions. 

AI apps are making their way into healthcare. It’s not clear that rigorous data security or privacy practices will be part of the package.

Some lawmakers and executives say the era of AI-hacking has arrived, while other experts are pointing out the tools of today still fall short in important ways.  

Aikido found that AI coding tools from Google, Anthropic, OpenAI and others regularly embed untrusted prompts into software development workflows.

The House Homeland Security Committee asked Dario Amodei to answer questions about the implications of the attack and how policymakers and AI companies can respond.

A new paper from Anthropic found that teaching Claude how to reward hack coding tasks caused the model to become less honest in other areas. 

Anthropic and AI security experts told CyberScoop that behind the hype, effective AI-driven cyberattacks still require skilled humans, with the attack possibly done to send a message…

Even with all the testing, the company said in its released research that the model tightened up once it was “aware” it was being evaluated. 

OpenAI and Anthropic said they turned over their models to government researchers, who found an array of previously undiscovered vulnerabilities and attack techniques.
