Google Deepmind launches interdisciplinary institute to tackle the big questions around AGI

Google DeepMind launches the DeepMind Institute, an interdisciplinary hub for AGI safety, governance, and risk research.

Google DeepMind has founded the DeepMind Institute (DMI), a platform for interdisciplinary research and debate on artificial general intelligence. Directed by Shane Legg, James Manyika, and Nobel laureate Demis Hassabis, it will bring together technologists, artists, humanists, and policy experts to address AGI safety, governance, and risks such as cyberattacks and loss of control. DeepMind leadership says AGI is close, with Legg suggesting a precursor could arrive by 2028.

One Extension Could Hijack AI Assistants Across Chrome, Comet, Edge, Opera Neon and Claude

Researchers showed a single browser extension could hijack AI agents in Chrome, Edge, Comet, Opera Neon and Claude in Chrome, earning $20,000 in bounties.

Forever Security demonstrated that a browser extension with two common permissions could seize the trusted page controlling built-in AI assistants in five Chromium-based products and drive the agent, read local files, or access the camera. Chrome's flaw was fixed as CVE-2026-0628 (CVSS 8.8) in Chrome 143.0.7499.192, and Microsoft fixed CVE-2026-55945 (CVSS 4.2) in Edge 150.0.4078.48. Perplexity Comet was the worst case: a hijacked agent could read any file, leak browsing history, take screenshots, and act as the user via an unsecured test subdomain. All attacks require a malicious extension already installed; no in-the-wild exploitation or KEV listing was reported as of September 16, 2026.
