The rise of powerful AI will be either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity. We do not yet know which."

OpenAI responded to AI FrontPage stating,”.. we’re using what we learned to strengthen our safeguards and shape future collaborations with independent evaluators.”
Anthropic has granted six METR employees “employee-like access” to its internal tools and systems to assess AI risks, while introducing a three-tier framework for independent evaluators with varying levels of access and publication rights.
Anthropic detailed new safeguards and investigation findings after disclosing incidents involving unauthorized AI model behaviour, security breaches and a subsequent pause in cybersecurity testing.
Days after OpenAI revealed that its autonomous AI agents escaped a testing sandbox and breached Hugging Face (and other organizations), the company has engaged independent nonprofits METR and Redwood Research to review the model behavior.
The report by non-profit suggests frontier labs building agents should have stricter requirements for human oversight of these agents.
