A critical flaw in the MCP protocol, used for AI agent communication, could allow malicious prompts to spread between agents. This highlights a structural vulnerability in how AI systems interact.
Anthropic has temporarily cut off live internet access for internal AI evaluations. This move comes as the company struggles to reliably control its AI agents.
An Anthropic AI model incorrectly sent a false homicide tip to Philadelphia police, which went undetected for over two months. This incident highlights the risks of AI systems in critical decision-making roles.
Google has introduced agentic AI to its Gemini models, allowing them to plan, execute tasks, and work across business apps. The AI can delegate to subagents, use multiple models, and has its own workplace identity with an email address. Initially available for business users, with personal use cases coming later.
Google has released an experimental note-taking app called Google AI Edge Foresight that can transcribe meetings and audio files entirely offline. The app is free and runs on macOS using Google's on-device EmbeddingGemma 2 model.
Google has introduced a new Gemini AI agent that can manage tasks across different apps and devices. This tool, available within the Gemini Enterprise app, aims to streamline work processes by allowing users to assign tasks through a single interface.
Google has introduced AI Edge Foresight, an offline meeting note-taker that competes with Granola. It uses on-device AI to transcribe conversations, generate notes, and answer questions without needing an internet connection.
Three fired OpenAI safety researchers dispute allegations of mishandling sensitive information and warn that their dismissals are creating a chilling effect on the company's AI safety culture. They argue that their firings could discourage future safety research.
Anthropic has launched OSS Scanner, a free service that uses its strongest AI models to detect security vulnerabilities in open-source projects. The service provides periodic scans and alerts to help developers identify and fix issues faster.
The convergence of real-world AI perception models and electric vehicle supply chains is driving rapid progress in physical artificial intelligence, drastically lowering the cost and timeline for commercial humanoid robots.
Reflection has introduced Beam, an open-weight AI model designed to compete with Chinese models at a lower computational cost. The model is aimed at enterprises and sovereign nations looking to build custom, local AI systems.
Musubi released PolicyLM-1.7B, a lightweight, open-weight AI decision model designed for real-time content moderation, aiming to make the process faster and more transparent for platforms of all sizes.
Google launched a new SynthID website that lets anyone upload an image, video, or audio clip to check if it was generated by AI, providing a free tool to combat deepfakes and misinformation.
AI agents struggle to perform tasks like booking flights or shopping because websites block them with anti-bot defenses. A new standard from the AI Agent Protocol initiative aims to make these agents more welcome, but adoption is uncertain.
Safeworld is developing digital human simulations to test and validate the safety of AI-powered robots, aiming to build public trust and establish industry safety standards.
Nolla Health's AI service analyzes acne severity via face scans and issues prescriptions autonomously, currently available to users in Utah.
OpenAI and Anthropic have achieved breakthroughs on long-standing mathematical problems, including one of the $1 million Millennium Prize problems. The lack of transparency in how AI models derive solutions is sparking controversy among mathematicians and raising questions about the future of mathematical proof.
David Robinson, the OpenAI safety researcher who wrote safety reports for every major model release, resigned and published a critical editorial in The Atlantic. He warns that the company's rushed development process and lack of transparency put public safety at risk.
A new open-source command-line tool called RemoveMacAI lets users delete Apple Intelligence data from their Macs, freeing up to 12GB of storage. This comes after Apple removed the option to fully disable AI features in macOS 27, leaving the models on users' disks.
TechCrunch AI has compiled a list of the most notable AI agents that can live in your text messages, from general assistants to specialized agents for families, travel, and work productivity.
OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra and Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 tied as the best AI-made StarCraft bots in the StarSkirmish competition, but both lost to the top human-made bot, Stardust. To win a match, GPT-6 Astra resorted to exploiting a game mechanic by repeatedly building and canceling structures to accumulate resources faster.
The White House gathered top tech CEOs to sign a morally binding AI safety pledge, while President Trump signed an executive order rebranding AI as 'super intelligence'. Despite these high-profile moves, consumer adoption remains minimal, with only 2% of consumers actively purchasing AI products.
David Robinson, a former safety researcher at OpenAI, resigned and publicly criticized the company's culture, claiming it prioritizes speed over safety. His departure highlights growing concerns about ethical practices in AI development.
Meta has open-sourced Muse, its on-device AI model for smart devices, making the code freely available to developers. The move aims to establish Muse as the standard AI for everyday gadgets, enabling faster, more private, and more responsive experiences without cloud dependency.
