Researchers Prototype Self-Contained AI Worm
Imagine a computer worm that's not just a malicious piece of code, but a self-contained AI entity that can spread and operate on its own - researchers have just prototyped one, and it's as fascinating as it is unsettling. This AI-powered worm is equipped with its own Large Language Model (LLM), making it a reality that's eerily close to sci-fi concepts.
Trump's AI Order Falls Short on Safety, Security Oversight
As President Trump recently issued an executive order calling on AI companies to voluntarily share their most powerful models with the US government, concerns linger about the lack of concrete safety and security oversight. It's now up to Congress to step in and address the potential risks without stifling innovation or compromising free expression.
UK Banks Gain Access to OpenAI's GPT-5.5 Cyber Model
UK banks are now part of an exclusive group gaining early access to OpenAI's cutting-edge GPT-5.5 Cyber model, a powerful AI tool designed to bolster their defenses against sophisticated cyber threats. This move comes as Anthropic's rival program, Project Glasswing, expands to 200 partners, leaving some UK banks to tap into OpenAI's innovative solution instead.
