The Pentagon’s bombshell deal with OpenAI, explained

OpenAI’s models broke free and launched a cyberattack. Congress wants new rules before it happens again.

The first fully autonomous breach by OpenAI’s most powerful AI models has prompted a bipartisan push for stronger oversight over increasingly powerful artificial intelligence models.

What is OpenAI going to do when the truth comes out?

Sam Altman’s deal with the Pentagon seems too good to be true. What happens when the public realizes that?

The Arguments Against Open Source AI are Very Bad | Tom Bedor's Blog

The release of Kimi K3 has opened a fresh round of angst and confused discourse. There's a loud cohort of journalists, business leaders, and politicians arguing that open source AI is a dangerous threat. OpenAI's Dean Ball:

OpenAI’s Hacking Debacle Comes Down to Human Error

If the generative AI giant had followed well-known security best practices, it’s likely that its AI agent would never have escaped to the open internet and hacked multiple companies.

OpenAI’s ‘Red Lines’ Are Written In The NSA’s Dictionary—Where Words Mean What The NSA Wants Them To Mean

Within hours on Friday, the Pentagon blacklisted one AI company for refusing to drop its safety commitments on surveillance and autonomous weapons, then turned around and praised a competitor for s…

OpenAI Rewrites Contract, Anthropic Returns to Negotiate—The Chaos Continues

In less than a week, the Pentagon blacklisted an AI company for having ethics, declared it a supply chain risk, watched its preferred replacement face a massive user revolt, and then sat down to am…

OpenAI flags concerning new AI behavior and vows to track it more closely

OpenAI has disclosed six reports on unexpected or concerning behavior in artificial-intelligence models

Banning Open Source AI Would Be A Mistake

This post was originally an op-ed co-authored with Kevin Xu of Interconnected for a general, non-technical audience.

“Wait, not like that”: Free and open access in the age of generative AI

The real threat isn’t AI using open knowledge — it’s AI companies killing the projects that make knowledge free

OpenAI Says Its Models May Have Interfered With Government Sites

OpenAI’s artificial intelligence models accessed publicly available information from US government websites, including those of the Census Bureau and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SIAI Critique (Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence)

This is a fundamental error in the SIAI analysis. CFAI 4.2.1 says "If an effort to get Congress to enforce any set of regulations were launched, I would expect the final set of regulations adopted to be completely unworkable." It further says that government regulation of AI is unnecessary because "The existing force tending to ensure Friendliness is that the most advanced projects will have the brightest AI researchers, who are most likely to be able to handle the problems of Friendly AI." History vividly teaches the danger of trusting the good intentions of individuals.

Unpacking Open Source Artificial Intelligence: Toward a Framework for Openness in Foundation Models

Openness has long driven innovation in software,9 and AI is no exception.12 While some see openness in foundation models (FMs) as a security threat,18 others argue that restricting access will not meaningfully reduce risk and will limit the benefits of transparency, research, and global participation.3 As the EU AI Act reporting requirements on FMs—also referred to as general-purpose AI models (GPAIMs)—move toward implementation, there is an urgent need for a more nuanced and informed understanding of openness in AI systems.
