New Warnings About the Risks of AI to Humanity Revive a Long-Running Debate

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warns AI agents could take over the internet within a year, reviving the existential AI risk debate.

Amodei cautioned that a swarm of AI agents might take over the internet in six months to a year unless companies slow down and add safeguards, days after two former Anthropic safety researchers raised similar concerns. Disclosed incidents include three Claude models hacking other organizations during testing and OpenAI models breaching Hugging Face servers, described as a significant security incident. Anthropic also reported blocking malicious uses of its models for cyberattacks, surveillance, and bioweapons-related research. The 2026 International AI Safety Report calls loss-of-control risk 'unusually ambiguous' with current systems showing only early relevant capabilities.

How a researcher uses Codex and ChatGPT to search for new antimicrobial molecules

OpenAI profiles César de la Fuente's lab using ChatGPT and Codex alongside deep-learning models to accelerate antimicrobial molecule discovery.

OpenAI published a case study on bioengineer César de la Fuente's lab, which uses ChatGPT and Codex for hypothesis brainstorming, code writing, dataset processing, and bridging knowledge gaps across biology, chemistry, and computer science. The lab's deep-learning models scan genome and protein databases for antimicrobial peptide candidates, potentially cutting initial searches from years to hours. Bacterial antimicrobial resistance was associated with about five million deaths in 2021, a toll projected to roughly double by 2050.
