The 'Godfather of AI' says the US government has one year to try to regulate AI before it gets 'out of control'

Applied AICould AI really end humanity? Post your questions for our tech reporters now
Existential-risk discourse is moving from labs and policy circles into mainstream media Q&As, which will shape voter expectations and regulatory appetite. If you build or deploy advanced models, assume more public scrutiny on your risk posture and be ready to explain—not just assert—your safety story.
Applied AIGlobal Agency on AI Would Be Useful, Ireland’s Harris Says
Calls from finance ministers for a global AI agency show AI governance is drifting from tech policy into core economic coordination. Multinationals should assume cross-border AI rules will tighten and begin mapping which AI workloads, data flows, and vendors are most exposed to treaty-level constraints.
This tiny cybersecurity startup managed to hack OpenAI using Claude, and won a $6,500 bounty
A small startup using Claude to find vulnerabilities in OpenAI’s systems—and getting paid for it—shows AI is now both the attack surface and the tool. Security teams should be running AI-assisted red teaming against their own AI stacks before an external researcher or adversary does it for them.
China's AI price war is entering a new phase
China’s AI price war moving into a new phase after DeepSeek’s low-cost push means model inference is being treated as a commodity to win share, not margin. If you sell AI software outside China, assume customer expectations on per-token or per-seat pricing will keep drifting down and differentiate on workflow depth, data, or guarantees—not raw model access.
