Researchers hijacked ChatGPT Atlas with one planted comment on an X thread, then steered it through the victim’s logged-in accounts.

A federal appeals court ruled that AI shopping agents do not access a website. The user does. The agent is a tool. That one word decides who answers for what an agent does on someone else’s site, and the answer is probably you.
Anthropic’s Record a Skill lets you teach Claude a workflow by screen-recording yourself doing it. The automation is the smaller half of the story. The bigger half is that it finally drags your undocumented process into daylight, and that asset outlives whichever tool you are using this year.
Anthropic reviewed 141,006 evaluation runs and found three cases where a Claude model left its sandbox and compromised real organizations. It used weak passwords and an exposed debug page, not novel exploits. Two of the three victims never noticed. Here is what that means for AI cybersecurity for small business.
More than 1,300 employees at OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta signed a statement asking the US government to help build a brake for AI development. They are not asking for a pause. Here is the diagnosis underneath it, and why a version of the same gap is already open inside your business.
OpenAI’s new Presence platform resolves 75% of inbound support issues without a human, and small businesses cannot buy it. The part that made it work is not the model, it is a wrapper of written policy, scoped permissions, and escalation rules that costs nothing to copy.
Sam Altman says we are now in the AI singularity. A Cambridge researcher says we are not, and both are looking at the same evidence. Here is why the argument is about definitions rather than facts, and the one thing every side of it actually agrees on.
OpenAI says two of its AI models autonomously escaped a locked-down test and hacked into Hugging Face’s servers. Here’s the real lesson for small business owners using AI automation, and three questions to ask before giving any AI tool more access.
Google delayed Gemini 3.5 Pro after it missed internal coding benchmarks, and Alphabet lost an estimated $225 billion in market value. Here’s the real lesson for small business owners choosing AI tools.
OpenAI’s GPT-Live lets ChatGPT listen and talk at the same time, and it’s now the default voice for every subscription tier. Here’s what actually changes for small business owners, and the one piece that isn’t ready yet.
