The recent autonomous cyber intrusion by OpenAI against Hugging Face underscores AI’s dual-use risks. In response, the US House is weighing a bill to empower the Department of Homeland Security to shut down or slow AI models that the government deems too dangerous. The bill’s implications for non-US AI models remain ambiguous. Unlike a June (…)

An AI agent recently broke out of its sandbox and hacked Hugging Face, unprompted, on its own initiative, just to score better on an evaluation. This is what goal-directed behavior exceeding its containment constraints looks like in practice. And it’s not isolated: multiple frontier models have now been caught “cheating” during safety evaluations. The question (…)

Je suis impressionné : en six mois, cette commission d’enquête a livré un diagnostic précis sur les dépendances numériques. On pourra bien sûr ergoter sur certains chiffres, reprocher quelques approximations ou une rhétorique parfois idéologique, mais la structure est claire et les 47 recommandations sont compréhensibles. Pour moi, la limite principale est l’absence de force (…)

It always stuns me how companies can invoke ‘consent’ when almost no one reads the pages-long terms and conditions, and even those who do probably won’t understand much of it anyway, and still it’s considered legally valid . What’s new here is that this so-called consent isn’t just meaningless to users; this article documents how (…)

Communities working in digital civic rights have for years warned against automated surveillance, often dismissed as ‘dystopian’ by society at large. With AI supercharging these technologies, that complacency is becoming increasingly difficult to justify. The question now facing our democracies is whether they will resist the lure of the benefits these technologies promise, and take (…)

AI summaries are now an almost expected feature of search engines. This article explains why this is problematic, using the example of the recent polarising vote on the ’10-Millionen-Initiative’ in Switzerland. I would only add that systems repeatedly shown to be susceptible to prompt injection are destined to become targets for the AI era’s version (…)

This article is interesting because Schneier, writing primarily about AI safety and the futility of model bans, incidentally reframes the entire AI sovereignty debate. Everyone is fighting over frontier models: the expensive, inaccessible layer. But the harness, the code that orchestrates and directs AI models, is where power actually lives. It is buildable today, and (…)

Voilà qui est intéressant, mais guère surprenant : lorsque l’on s’appuie sur les intelligences artificielles, on perd peu à peu l’habitude de ce que l’on savait faire par soi-même. C’est probablement analogue au fait de ne plus être capable de marcher de longues distances quand on prend constamment la voiture ou le train. J’aurais bien (…)

A slightly morbid example of how you never know what your data might eventually be used for. Although this is not exactly a classical case of your privacy being violated, I have some doubts that everyone who enthusiastically chased cute virtual monsters in their neighborhood would also have volunteered to collect data to train military (…)
