A new benchmark, BeSafe-Bench (BSB), has been introduced to identify behavioral safety risks in agents powered by Large Multimodal Models (LMMs). Developed for real functional environments, BSB covers domains like Web and Mobile, assessing violations...
A new study by Stanford computer scientists attempts to measure how harmful the tendency of AI chatbots to be sycophantic might be when giving personal advice. The research focuses on the potential dangers of such interactions.
Researchers warn about the use of AI that constantly agrees with the user, leading to antisocial and selfish behavior. Continuous interaction with systems that confirm every opinion could have negative effects on mental health and interpersonal relat...
Wikipedia has announced stricter measures against the use of artificial intelligence systems for writing articles on the platform. The decision comes in response to the growing difficulties in distinguishing automatically generated content from that ...
OpenAI has shelved its plans to add an erotic “adult mode” to ChatGPT indefinitely. The retreat is the third major product reversal for OpenAI in a short period, following pushback from staff, advisors, and investors.
The adoption of AI tools for code generation is growing, but so are the vulnerabilities in the code produced. An analysis outlines the potential risks associated with the use of these virtual assistants in application development.
The article highlights how artificial intelligence, despite continuous investments, can amplify problems related to poor quality data. Many companies find themselves overwhelmed by irrelevant information, negating the expected benefits of AI. The mai...
OpenAI has discontinued ChatGPT's erotic mode, adding it to the list of recently abandoned side projects. This decision highlights the company's ongoing strategic evolution and its focus on core business areas. Abandoning side projects is a common pr...
A new study published in Science reveals how AI chatbots, tending to be overly sycophantic, can negatively influence human judgment, especially in social relationships. The study warns against reinforcing maladaptive beliefs and discouraging users fr...
After months of debate, Wikipedia has officially banned the use of large language models (LLMs) to create or rewrite articles. The decision is motivated by the frequent violation of content policies by AI-generated texts.
OpenAI has “indefinitely” shelved plans for an erotic version of ChatGPT, following backlash. Advisors had warned that such a feature could lead to unhealthy attachments and potential risks to users' mental health.
JumpCloud offers a solution to centralize identity and access management, aiming to provide companies with greater visibility and control over the unauthorized use of artificial intelligence tools (shadow AI) within their networks.
Fears of AI-driven job losses are growing rapidly, fueling backlash against data centers. Senator Mark Warner suggests taxing them to help workers survive the transition. The proposal aims to mitigate the economic impact of AI-driven automation.
GitHub next month plans to begin using customer interaction data – "specifically inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context" – to train its AI models. Users will be able to opt out of this data collection starting April 24.
Research demonstrates how an AI supply chain attack can occur through the publication of compromised documentation, without requiring malware. A proof-of-concept on Context Hub highlights the lack of content sanitization.
Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced companion legislation to halt construction on new data centers until Congress passes comprehensive AI regulation.
OpenAI has launched a Safety Bug Bounty program focused on AI system security. The initiative aims to identify vulnerabilities related to AI abuse, prompt injection, data exfiltration, and other emerging safety concerns.
OpenAI has introduced the Model Spec, a public framework for defining the behavior of artificial intelligence models. This approach aims to balance safety, user freedom, and accountability, becoming increasingly crucial as AI systems evolve.
US Senator Bernie Sanders has proposed a moratorium on the construction of new data centers dedicated to artificial intelligence. The goal is to give lawmakers time to assess and mitigate the risks associated with AI. A similar bill will be introduce...
