AI Agent Guidelines for CS336 at Stanford

Applied AIHackers say they used Meta's AI support chatbot to change emails tied to Instagram accounts amid a wave of high-profile account takeovers; Meta fixed the issue (Jason Koebler/404 Media)
AI support became a new attack surface — social engineering the model was enough to rewrite account ownership. If you're deploying AI into customer support or ops, treat it like a privileged employee: enforce hard policy constraints, add human-in-the-loop on sensitive actions, and red-team prompt-based exploits this week.
Applied AIFlorida becomes the first state to sue OpenAI, naming Altman personally and calling ChatGPT a defective product
A state AG calling an LLM a defective product is the opening shot in treating AI like consumer hardware — with strict liability expectations and personal exposure for executives. If you're shipping AI into consumer or youth-facing surfaces, assume product liability standards are coming and lock down safety, logging, and age controls now, not after discovery.
Applied AIAnthropic is finally giving the EU access to Mythos, ending weeks of standoff over the world’s most powerful cybersecurity AI
Giving ENISA access to a model that’s autonomously found 10,000+ high and critical zero‑days means offensive‑grade AI is now inside the regulator’s tent. If your security posture assumes only vendors and nation‑states wield this class of tooling, update your threat model and your disclosure strategy.
Applied AIAnthropic has officially filed to go public
Anthropic moving to IPO crystallizes AI labs as capital‑market utilities — not just venture bets — and locks in public‑market scrutiny on model economics. If you’re building on Claude, assume the roadmap is now tied to quarterly expectations and start negotiating for long‑term pricing and stability today.
