The danger of AI is not that it will become conscious and hate us, but that it will become competent and ignore us."

In-depth coverage of AI cybersecurity, threat detection, automated defenses, vulnerability discovery, and security risks.
Frontier AI models are doubling their offensive cyber performance every six months while costs crash. Banks, telecoms, energy firms and critical infrastructure are the next high-value targets, warns Irregular CEO Dan Lahav, who is calling for urgent Differential Defensive Cyber Acceleration.
In its August 2026 “Risk Report”, Anthropic revised its assessment of the risk from misaligned AI behaviour from “very low” to “low,” citing increased uncertainty following recent disclosures related to model behaviour in cybersecurity evaluations. The company also disclosed an unreleased internal model, Model 2, which it describes as “somewhat more capable than Mythos 5.”… Continue reading Anthropic Raises Misalignment Risk to “Low,” Keeps “Somewhat More Capable” Model 2 Internal
Frontier AI models now surface security findings faster than any team can read them. NIELIT’s Cyber Kushti 2026 hands participants a deliberately imperfect assessment package and scores them on what they reject as much as what they fix.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Digital Affairs has confirmed a wave of AI-assisted cyberattacks on government agencies that began in July. The hybrid attacks combined human operators with AI agents such as OpenClaw, allowing rapid, low-cost, large-scale operations.
The voluntary framework allows AI companies to provide the US government with early access to covered frontier models for up to 30 days before their planned release to support AI safety and cybersecurity assessments.
Anthropic says its Claude models (Opus 4.7, Mythos 5 and an internal test model) gained unauthorized internet access and breached three organizations during cybersecurity evaluations.
Sarvam AI announces it is building a trillion-plus parameter foundational model in India at Epoch 2026, while claiming its flagship 105B is 5.5× cheaper than GPT-5.4 Mini.
The US Federal Communications Commission has barred new models of foreign-made humanoid and quadruped robots, along with connected power inverters, from receiving equipment authorisation, in a move that squarely targets China’s dominant robotics industry.
Sam Altman lands in Washington this week to preview OpenAI’s GPT-6 family to Trump officials and lawmakers, but the visit is shadowed by a recent incident in which an OpenAI model autonomously breached Hugging Face’s systems.
While vulnerability detection has become easier, patching and remediating software flaws remain slow and resource-intensive challenges for enterprises.
