Open-source maintainers are so overwhelmed by AI-generated security reports that some have stopped accepting them. OpenAI’s Daybreak lead says the fix is higher-quality findings and far more…
In a public filing, Anthropic acknowledged serious risks its models, including Claude, pose to itself, its users and the world. Hacks by bad actors using Claude or AI agents could cause financial, legal or physical damage, spark lawsuits and affect Anthropic’s ability to insure against future losses. (Getty Images)
Federal cyber leaders explain how agencies can combine AI with unified data, faster threat containment and workforce development to modernize security operations.
