Paul Christiano joins OpenAI Foundation Board and Safety & Security Committee, strengthening alignment expertise in governance structure.

AI companies have been talking about superintelligent AI like it’s inevitable, but recent safety incidents like OpenAI’s Hugging Face breach are demonstrating the potential dangers of deploying AI systems that are more capable than humans. So what happens when we can’t reliably control what these systems do? On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan is joined by Connor Leahy, an AI researcher, entrepreneur, and now the U.S. Executive Director of […]

Man with bipolar disorder sued OpenAI after surviving ChatGPT-linked suicide attempt.

OpenAI advances mathematical reasoning; Meta launches Muse personal agent with practical deployment implications.

A senior Anthropic safety researcher has said there is more than a 10 percent chance artificial intelligence "could kill all humans" by the end of the decade, just hours after a colleague resigned over fears the AI lab and its rivals are carelessly racing to build "superhuman systems" they cannot control. In a post on X announcing his departure, Jacob Coxon, a researcher who has trained AI systems at Anthropic, said he had quit the company over its lax approach to safety. Coxon, who previously trained systems for OpenAI, accused the two AI companies of "racing straight to self-improving super...

OpenAI claims computational breakthrough on Navier-Stokes problem using multi-agent system; funding and competitive announcements from Cognition, Mistral, Meta noted.

OpenAI’s latest mathematical milestone has quickly become mired in controversy. Today, the company announced that its agents have solved one of the Millennium Prize Problems, some of the most important open problems in mathematics. Under normal circumstances, that solution would be a huge feather in OpenAI’s cap. But the announcement has been overshadowed by accusations…

OpenAI used unreleased model to resolve Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem; Tristan Buckmaster disputes Levent Alpöge's role.

OpenAI releases ChatGPT Images 2.5 with two API variants (Sunburst, Flare) offering improved multi-turn instruction-following, faster generation, and better subject preservation in reference images.

OpenAI says it found a solution to a major math problem that has remained unsolved for around 90 years, as reported earlier by The New York Times and Wired. In a blog post on Tuesday, OpenAI announced that it discovered a solution to the Navier-Stokes problem - which relates to the flow of liquid and gas - using an internal AI model more powerful than the newly released GPT-6 Astra alongside 10,000 concurrent agents. The Navier-Stokes problem is one of seven Millennium Prize Problems, each of which comes with a $1 million reward for solving. OpenAI says it started training the internal AI mod...

I used ChatGPT and its Sketch tool to make this AI-generated image of a cat. OpenAI announced ChatGPT Images 2.5 on Tuesday and is adding a new way to tell ChatGPT what you want it to make an image of: by drawing a doodle. With a new feature called Sketch, you can just draw something right inside ChatGPT and then tell ChatGPT how you want it to make an image based on that sketch. You can activate the Sketch feature by typing @Sketch into your chat box, and a window will pop up where you can make your drawing. I briefly tested it, and it successfully turned my bad doodle of a cat that I drew w...

Meta is making another push to bring artificial intelligence to the masses with Muse, a personal assistant it says can put AI in the hands of virtually anyone. The product is the latest step in a multi-billion dollar strategy overhaul designed to revitalize the company's ailing position in the AI race and help it catch up to rivals like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Muse is a "personal AI agent" designed to help out with everyday tasks and projects, like online shopping, sending emails, and planning a trip. Once given a goal, Meta says Muse can work on its own, opening a browser, filling out...

Two more news organizations are suing OpenAI and Microsoft over the supposed use of their journalism to train AI.

OpenAI acknowledged its role in a recently reported incident where AI agents took over a German wiki forum.

OpenAI says it needs to overhaul how and when it reports instances of AI models attacking real-world targets. The acknowledgement comes as the company manages the fallout from reports that a swarm of its out-of-control agents hijacked a German wiki site. Regarding the "'wiki incident,' where our agents wrote to several internet sites," OpenAI wrote in a post on X on Saturday morning, "it's past time for us to define standards for when and how we share misalignment incidents, not just misalignment properties of our models." OpenAI said it has typically treated cases of AI agents acting in unin...
