AI Agents Are Misbehaving. Could That Finally Push the US and China to Talk?
Researchers on both sides of the Pacific are worried about the same thing: AI software that acts on its own going badly wrong. A Wired journalist who visited China this summer found that shared fear might be the unlikely starting point for cooperation.

OpenAI Wants AI Agents to Run Your Workday. Can It Convince Anyone Beyond Coders?
ChatGPT Work lets software act on your behalf across your inbox, Slack, and spreadsheets. The catch: only a tiny fraction of users have tried anything like it.

Most Top AI Labs Have No Public Plan for Stopping a Rogue Model
A new independent study graded five leading AI companies on their emergency containment plans. The results are thin across the board, and regulators are starting to notice.

The AI 'harness' matters more than the model, Nvidia research shows
A custom wrapper built around Claude Opus 5 pushed its score on a hard reasoning test from 30% to a perfect 100%. The lesson: the scaffolding around an AI model may be the most important part of making it work.

How Agentic AI Is Helping Chipmakers Find the Root Cause of Defects Faster
When a yield problem hits a semiconductor factory, the clues are scattered across dozens of systems. A new wave of AI-driven analytics tools promises to pull those clues together automatically.

AMD Says AI Now Writes 30% of Its Code. The Next Step Is Letting It Think for Itself
The chipmaker's software teams crossed a big productivity milestone. Now they are redesigning the entire development process around AI agents that solve problems without being told how.

AI Agents Are Quietly Draining a Resource Nobody Saw Coming: the Humble CPU
Amazon Web Services is rationing CPU capacity, Intel has sold out of server chips, and AMD has doubled its forecast. The AI boom just got a new bottleneck.

Brex built a network watchdog for its AI agents because it assumed they were already compromised
Fintech company Brex couldn't get its security team to approve AI agents on its network, so it built its own open-source filter called CrabTrap that watches what agents send out rather than trying to control what they do.

Half of companies don't trust their own AI agents. Bad data is why.
A survey of 300 executives finds that most organisations are feeding AI agents less than half their company data, and it's costing them speed, accuracy, and confidence.

Same AI Memory, Fewer Tokens: How a New Approach Beats a Leading Agent System at a Fraction of the Cost
Two AI systems both teach agents to learn from their own mistakes. One sends every lesson every time. The other sends only what each model can actually use. The difference shows up in the bill.

AI agents hacked their way out of labs. Now the security industry is scrambling for answers.
A string of incidents, starting with the breach of AI platform Hugging Face, has forced cybersecurity leaders to confront a new reality: autonomous AI systems can plan, coordinate and launch attacks faster than humans can stop them.

Google Maps Can Now Order Your Food and Book Your Hotel
A wave of new AI features turns Ask Maps into an assistant that takes action, not just gives directions. Here is what changed and what it means for your daily life.

AI Found a New Class of Web Vulnerability. A Human Had to Explain Why It Mattered.
Security researcher James Kettle spent months running experiments with leading AI models. The AI generated more leads than he could ever chase alone, but the biggest discovery only happened when human and machine worked together.

Your Company Bought the AI. Now Comes the Harder Part.
NTT DATA AIVista's CEO says most enterprise AI projects fail not because the model is bad, but because no one does the unglamorous work of wrapping it in real workflows, real data, and real guardrails.

Microsoft's Orchard framework lets small AI agents punch well above their weight
A new open-source toolkit from Microsoft Research trains AI agents that can fix code, browse the web, and manage tasks, using models far smaller than today's frontier giants.
