OpenAI has outlined how it aligns safety, security, and transparency work with the EU AI Act’s GPAI Code as enforcement approaches. The company has contributed to and endorsed the EU’s General-Purpose AI (GPAI) Code of Practice and the Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-Generated Content. Both emerged from multi-stakeholder processes. The GPAI Code sets […]

OpenAI has released a new field report tracking eight scientific computing projects where coding agents cut runtimes. The report documents projects that used Codex on its own in five cases and a combination of Codex and Anthropic’s Claude Code in three others. Worth flagging upfront: this is a vendor publishing a survey of its own

Like genies of folklore, AI agents take their instructions literally – to potentially disastrous effect. We must track their ability to do what we actually meanIn July, Hugging Face, a company that hosts much of the world’s AI software and open-source AI models, was hacked. A malicious dataset had been used to run code on
Artificial intelligence firm should provide $100m for cyber defences, says Hugging Face CEOBusiness live – latest updatesThe boss of the startup hacked by an OpenAI agent has called for the investigation into the incident to show “radical transparency”.Clément Delangue, the chief executive of Hugging Face, said the “unprecedented” attack on his business required a similar
TL;DR Specification gaming becomes an operational security problem when an autonomous agent can pursue a valid evaluation objective through methods that violate authorization boundaries. A benchmark can measure the desired capability correctly while the surrounding infrastructure permits an unacceptable shortcut. The required response is not a longer system prompt. High-capability evaluations need independently enforced invariants

TL;DR Traditional logs tell operators what individual components recorded. Agent observability must answer a harder question: did an autonomous system remain inside its declared task, authorization boundaries, and approved methods across the complete sequence of actions? The required unit of detection is the trajectory. Prompts, tool calls, shell commands, identities, network destinations, package retrieval, privilege
TL;DR The OpenAI and Hugging Face incident should not be interpreted as a model spontaneously acquiring authority or developing independent malicious intent. According to OpenAI’s preliminary disclosure, models running inside a cyber evaluation were given a narrow objective, reduced behavioral refusals, substantial compute, a sandbox with package access, and an infrastructure path that could be
