Roundtables: Will AI really kill us all?
MIT Technology Review hosts a September 15 roundtable debating whether advanced AI poses genuine extinction risk or is hype.
MIT Technology Review will stream a live roundtable on Tuesday, September 15 at 16:00 BST, with executive editor Niall Firth, senior AI editor Will Douglas Heaven, and AI reporter Grace Huckins. The discussion examines AI extinction fears voiced by employees at leading AI labs, their origins, and whether the concerns are warranted. The session is an editorial debate rather than new research or a security incident.

10 most critical LLM vulnerabilities
OWASP updated its Top 10 LLM application vulnerabilities, ranking prompt injection first and elevating excessive agency to third amid agentic adoption.
OWASP refreshed its Top 10 list of critical vulnerabilities in LLM applications, for the first time incorporating real-world incident data alongside expert voting. Prompt injection and sensitive information disclosure remain first and second, while excessive agency jumped from sixth to third as agentic systems that call APIs and execute code proliferate. Unbounded consumption of AI resources rose in prominence, while improper output handling dropped to the bottom as output sanitization becomes widespread. The list includes remediation guidance such as strict output schemas, human-in-the-loop approvals, and least-privilege credentials held in application code.
