OpenAI Delays Release of Latest Model Over Safety Concerns

Publisher preview

OpenAI has cancelled plans to release its latest GPT-6.1 Astra system next month after the model failed to meet safety standards. Research and safety leaders decided not to ship the model after finding it was worse at sticking to human users’ values and goals than previous systems, OpenAI told WIRED. “It didn’t quite meet the bar in terms of staying within scope and authorization, and how it communicates back to the user about the type of work it’s done,” head of safety systems Saachi Jain said. The company said it…

Timnit Gebru Believes There Is No ‘Existential Threat’ From AI

Publisher preview

Going rogue. Breaking containment. Misalignment. P(doom). As the industry booms, an entirely new vernacular has emerged in the debates over how consequential artificial intelligence really is. Within that new parlance, two phrases have become focal points: stochastic parrots and existential risk. And at the center of those is one prominent AI researcher who has never stood down from a fight, Timnit Gebru. Gebru came into the public eye several years ago after sparring with Google over a research paper she coauthored that called out biases in the companyâs AI, saying…

OpenAI reportedly ditches model over safety concerns

Publisher preview

OpenAI had planned to release yet another AI model next month, but has decided to nix the release over safety concerns. The Wall Street Journal reports that Astra 6.1 was scheduled to be released as soon as within the next few days. However, the model “showed higher levels of deception” than previous models and exhibited unsafe behavior, the Journal writes. Saachi Jain, OpenAI’s head of safety systems, told the WSJ that the model tested poorly on alignment, a measure of how well the program adheres to human intent. TechCrunch reached…

Florida invokes extinction fears in legal bid to halt OpenAI development

Publisher preview

State says LLMs threaten civilization as “the greatest public nuisance ever created.” The state of Florida is seeking a temporary injunction to stop OpenAI from continuing to develop what it calls a “reckless, unacceptably risky product” without the deployment of “third-party approved safety guardrails.” The new legal motion, filed Monday morning, is part of a civil lawsuit the state of Florida originally filed in June, arguing that ChatGPT represented “a threat to the public safety of Floridians,” specifically by preying on vulnerable populations like children and violent or delusional adults.…

Towards safety cases for frontier AI training

Publisher preview

We believe we are entering a new era in which structured safety documentation should be required before continuing any frontier reinforcement learning training run. Ideally, such documentation would rise to the level of “safety cases”—comprehensive, structured, evidence-based arguments about risk which are used in other safety-critical industries. We treat safety cases as an aspirational north star we are building towards, while acknowledging the challenges of making them as rigorous for AI models as for aviation or nuclear power, due to the emergent complexity at each new level of AI capability.…

I created an interactive digital avatar of myself — and you can talk to it

When Alexandru Voica, head of corporate affairs at the video-generation startup Synthesia, sent me a link this summer to the newest addition to their PR team, I was surprised. It was an interactive virtual avatar of him, trained to answer common press questions about Synthesia, like what it does and how it works. The day before, I was on a panel where PR people asked me if I minded pitches that used AI-generated text. But Alexandru’s avatar was beyond that — this seemed to me the final boss of using…

Court rules Pentagon can blacklist Anthropic for refusing to enable Claude features

“Overly constrained AI models” could cause military operations to fail, judges say. A US appeals court today approved the Department of Defense’s blacklisting of Anthropic technology. Judges decided the Trump administration had authority to blacklist Anthropic for withholding certain AI features from the military even if Anthropic had no malicious intent. In a 2-1 ruling issued by the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, a panel of judges said the “case raises profoundly difficult questions about the appropriate military uses of an almost unimaginably powerful new…
