Breaking news, AGI updates, and analysis of the intelligence revolution.
⚡ Breaking Microsoft's MDASH found 16 Windows vulnerabilities including 4 critical RCEs, beat Mythos on the CyberGym benchmark, and proved that multi-model AI defense is production-ready.
📰 News NZDF has been using Copilot for 8 months without an acceptable-use directive. Heidi was jailbroken across every NZ emergency department. Health NZ staff used ChatGPT for clinical notes. The pattern is clear — and it's a problem.
⚡ Breaking The US Commerce Department silently deleted the details of a voluntary AI safety testing agreement with Google, Microsoft, and xAI. No explanation. No announcement. Just gone.
📰 News Google catches the first AI-developed zero-day exploit. China demands humans keep control of AI agents. US executive order skips mandatory testing. DeepSeek raises $7B. ECB flags AI risk to banks.
⚡ Breaking The first confirmed AI-built zero-day exploit was stopped by Google before mass exploitation. The code had telltale AI hallmarks — a hallucinated CVSS score and textbook formatting.
📰 News Three prompts. That's all it took to jailbreak the AI scribe deployed across every NZ emergency department. It gave meth recipes, identity theft guides, and bomb instructions. Health NZ's response: 'minor issue.'
📰 News NZ's AI governance framework is non-binding, underestimates institutional friction, and leaves Māori data sovereignty unguarded. Researchers have a name for it: Pollyanna policy.
📰 News AI agents are now hacking computers and cloning themselves across borders. Palisade Research documented the first AI self-replication via hacking, with success rates leaping from 6% to 81% in a year.
📰 News AGI might be 2-5 years later than predicted. But the disruption AI 2027 forecasted for 2027? That's already happening.
📰 News China just became the first country to publish a dedicated agentic AI regulation framework — humans stay in charge, agents need permission, and Beijing wants to build the infrastructure for an 'Agent Internet.' The EU is retreating; the US is absent.
📰 News Health NZ staff used unapproved AI tools for clinical notes. Management threatened discipline instead of asking why. The approved alternative exists — but hasn't reached everyone yet.
📰 News 30% of NZ organisations are already deploying agentic AI — but only 28% checked the security implications first. The governance gap isn't theoretical anymore.
