Trump orders US government to call AI ‘Super Intelligence’

Publisher preview

The US executive branch is no longer acknowledging the existence of “artificial intelligence.” Going forward, official policy websites, policy documents, and press releases will refer only to “Super Intelligence,” thanks to a new executive order signed by President Donald Trump. “The word super is the best word of all, and it’s the simplest,” Trump said at an event announcing the launch of America.gov earlier on Tuesday, and said Chinese President Xi Jinping, who visited the White House last week, “loves it” too. “We don’t want to hear artificial. Because it’s…

Here's what actually happened in OpenAI's Australian gov't server hack

Publisher preview

Without a “full set of safeguards,” agent accessed “system information and source code.” Last week, when Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told the world that an OpenAI agent had accessed “non-public files” from his country’s Medicare statistics portal during testing, his description of the incident was a little light on details. Today, we’re getting new information on just how far OpenAI’s overzealous agent went in attempting to satisfy a rather innocuous-sounding informational prompt. In a newly published blog post, OpenAI says the June incident started when the company asked “an…

Can a chatbot fix the government maze? The White House is about to find out

Publisher preview

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the White House is launching America.gov, an AI chatbot intended to help people find government services and other information. Google confirmed that it is a partner on this launch and that its AI model, Gemini, is involved, but it’s unclear if other AI companies also contributed. “Instead of forcing citizens to search through the endless maze of tens of thousands of government websites and rules… you’ll now have one front door for every single question,” Trump said in a post on X. Making…

OpenAI apologizes to Australia after its AI agents breached government sites

Publisher preview

OpenAI on Monday apologized to the Australian government for not immediately notifying the country’s administration that its agents had breached some public services websites. The company also detailed how some of those breaches happened, and outlined additional measures it is taking to assess the impact of the events. “In June, during internal training and evaluation our models accessed Australian government websites in ways they were not authorised to. We also should have handled our response better. We are sorry and working to do better in the future,” OpenAI wrote in…

How we will do better for Australia

Publisher preview

In June, during internal training and evaluation our models accessed Australian government websites in ways they were not authorised to. We also should have handled our response better. We are sorry and working to do better in the future. In this post, we are setting out what we know, what we have changed, and what we will do to rebuild trust with the Australian people. This is a new kind of cyber incident which represents an emerging global challenge. One of the ways we intend to take accountability for the…

OpenAI Pauses Training Its Most Powerful Models After Rogue Agents Target Government

Publisher preview

OpenAI said it has paused training its most powerful artificial intelligence models as incidents of agents breaching websites’ security controls or posting to third-party sites continue to pile up. On Friday, OpenAI said it had notified “dozens” of bodies, including governments, universities, and public agencies, who might have been impacted by its models’ activities on the internet during training and evaluation. The company has identified cases of OpenAI agents breaching security controls and impairing the availability—or otherwise negatively impacting—websites and online services. A company spokesperson confirmed to WIRED it would…

Accelerate multimodal RL training with SkyRL on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod

Publisher preview

Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training is becoming a standard step in building capable language model agents. Models learn to reason and act across sequences of steps by generating trajectories, receiving rewards, and updating their policy based on outcomes. Running this at scale, across multiple nodes with hundreds of GPU-hours of rollouts per training run, requires persistent cluster infrastructure. That infrastructure needs to sustain long jobs, recover from hardware failures without losing progress, and provide visibility into training dynamics as they unfold. Amazon SageMaker HyperPod provides this infrastructure for large-scale machine learning…

Estimating suicide risk from text

Publisher preview

When people reach out during a mental health crisis, a top priority for counselors is identifying those with a high risk of suicide. The distressed person’s language holds critical clues, and a new tool developed by scientists at MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research is designed to pick up on and rapidly evaluate those signals. The language-processing tool was developed by Daniel Low, a former graduate student in Senior Research Scientist Satra Ghosh’s Senseable Intelligence Group who is now a research scientist at the Child Mind Institute, where he leads…

OpenAI agent “didn’t accept no for an answer” in Australian government breach

Publisher preview

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said his government is investigating a June incident in which an OpenAI agent accessed “non-public files” from the country’s online Medicare statistics portal. OpenAI said in a statement that “our models took actions we did not intend” in causing the breach, which it only recently disclosed to the Australian government. Speaking in New York on Wednesday, Albanese said three other public health statistics systems also “may have been impacted” across Australian federal and state governments. He added that these portals “contain non-sensitive Medicare information” such…

Today, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed the United Nations Security Council on artificial intelligence. He discussed AI’s potential to expand opportunity, the importance of keeping powerful systems under human control, and the need for international cooperation on AI safety. Thank you, Mr. President and your Excellencies. I’m honored to be here and to be able to speak with you all at this important time. We have been talking about artificial intelligence for years, but it feels different in recent weeks and months. Rapid model progress has made the timeline feel…
