With Dazzle, Marissa Mayer bets your camera roll has more info on your life than your inbox

Publisher preview

When former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer earlier this month told me she was finally ready to unveil Dazzle, the personal AI assistant that raised an $8 million seed round last December, I couldn’t help but wonder if she’s playing copycat to Meta’s Muse, Instinct, and the wave of similar tools that have flooded the market over the past month. But when Mayer finally gave me a demo, Dazzle proved it’s taking a different approach. Instead of building context about you from text-heavy apps like email, calendars and shopping histories, Dazzle’s…

Meta is expanding its AI agent Muse to small businesses

Publisher preview

Meta announced on Tuesday that it’s expanding its AI agent Muse to small businesses and adding new integrations including Shopify, Dropbox, Slack, and more. The tech giant says the agent can help owners run their business and find new customers. By plugging Muse into the software that small business owners are already using to manage sales, operations, and marketing, Meta is betting that an AI agent with context of a company’s whole operation will be more useful than a standalone chatbot, as it continues to compete against rivals like OpenAI…

Getting the Source Right, Not Just the Fact: Source-Aware Verification for MCP Agents

Publisher preview

Our latest paper, ProvenanceGuard: Source-Aware Factuality Verification for MCP-Based LLM Agents (read it on Hugging Face, or on arXiv in the meantime), targets that gap. The failure mode we care about is one we call cross-source conflation: a claim that is true somewhere in the evidence, but attributed to the wrong source. A source-blind verifier may pass it, because the fact does exist in the pool. A source-aware verifier should not. Consider a customer support agent that answers, "According to the account record, this plan includes a 30-day refund window."…

Interview: Firefox's chief on why he hopes a redesign will help win users from Chrome

Publisher preview

Mozilla’s Ajit Varma explains why a redesign suits the fight for the open web. Today, the Firefox 157 update will roll out a redesign of the web browser across desktop and mobile platforms. The team that made it hopes it will help expand the browser’s audience beyond privacy-conscious techies and open-web or open source advocates to a broader audience who might simply pick the browser because they prefer its user experience over competitors like Chrome, Edge, and Safari. In advance of the redesign’s launch, I spent half an hour chatting…

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.

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…
