    Agent browser security: 2025 year-end review(original, opens in a new tab)

    Wiz Research published its 2025 year-end review, summarizing multiple prompt injection and data exfiltration studies that surfaced in agent browsers over the year, and compiling vendors' security configurations. The review listed attacks including Johann Rehberger's zero-interaction exfiltration, Guardio Labs testing Perplexity Comet with fake stores and phishing links, Brave's disclosure of indirect prompt injection in Comet, and disclosures by Tenable, LayerX, Cato Networks, and Google researchers targeting products such as Comet, Atlas, and Operator, involving URL parameter hijacking, long-term memory poisoning, and task injection. On the defense side, vendors shifted from asking before actions to multi-layer architectures, with human-in-the-loop becoming a common guardrail; differences lay in reinforcement learning, architectural isolation, and secondary LLM review. The article offered three recommendations: isolate context, retain human confirmation, and limit agents to handling only low-risk tasks.

    Kenyan content moderators accuse OpenAI and Sama of exploitation in ChatGPT development(original, opens in a new tab)

    A group of Kenyan content moderators involved in ChatGPT development accuse OpenAI and its local outsourcing partner Sama of exploiting and underpaying them, and have petitioned the Kenyan government to regulate tech companies. According to the petition and court documents, in 2021 OpenAI partnered with Sama to outsource the workforce that trained and optimized ChatGPT. Four people representing the moderators said the contracts did not adequately describe the nature of the work, and that in practice they were assigned to long-term review of harmful content such as violence and sexual violence. They said they received no psychological support during their work, developed physical and mental health problems including PTSD, paranoia, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction, and were repatriated after their contracts ended. The petition asks the National Assembly's Public Petitions Committee to investigate working conditions at companies such as Sama, and mentions tech companies that outsource content moderation, including Meta, TikTok, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI. They also call for amending the Employment Act and expanding the Occupational Health Act to recognize exposure to harmful content as an occupational hazard.

    Why it was selectedThis petition and the court documents disclose the working conditions of outsourced content moderation in ChatGPT training, presenting labor and regulatory controversies in the data annotation stage of large models.

    'No escape': San Antonio man told AI chatbot he planned to shoot at elementary school(original, opens in a new tab)

    Nathaniel Michael Carrasco, 22, of San Antonio, was accused of telling Anthropic's AI chatbot in a conversation that he planned to carry out a shooting at Serna Elementary School. Police arrested him on Sunday on a third-degree felony charge of making a terroristic threat, with bail set at $250,000. The arrest affidavit says that in an August 11 query, he expressed intent to obtain a gun as soon as possible, enter the school after it opened, and open fire, and asked the bot to search for content involving bloodshed at elementary schools, adding that he truly meant it. The FBI's National Threat Operations Center notified the Southwest Texas Fusion Center, managed by San Antonio police, on Friday, and police then used cell phone carrier, IP address, and Google account information to identify him. The affidavit does not say how the chatbot responded to the queries, nor how the FBI learned of the threat.

    Why it was selectedThe case affidavit shows police identified the suspect using IP and account information, providing an example of the process for handling violent threats involving chatbots.

    He was arrested after telling ChatGPT he wanted to kill his son. Can conversations with AI be used as criminal evidence in Brazil?(original, opens in a new tab)

    A 36-year-old farmer in Espírito Santo, Brazil, expressed intentions to kill his 8-year-old son and commit suicide in conversations with ChatGPT over about two months. OpenAI's safety system reported the conversations to the FBI, which forwarded them to Brazilian authorities. He was preventively arrested on June 19 and released on August 13 after 54 days in detention because the investigation exceeded its time limit. Police said they only received the questions posed by the suspect, not ChatGPT's replies, and legal experts believe this affects the completeness and evidentiary weight of the conversations as evidence. The case has also sparked discussion about whether AI conversations can be used as criminal evidence.

    Why it was selectedThe case presents the complete chain in which an OpenAI safety alert was forwarded by the FBI to Brazilian police and led to the arrest, as well as the controversy over AI conversations as criminal evidence.

    Did the Delhi Red Fort bombing suspect use ChatGPT and YouTube to obtain explosives information?(original, opens in a new tab)

    In the charge sheet for the Delhi Red Fort bombing case, India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) alleges that the main accused, Jasir Bilal Wani, used YouTube and ChatGPT to research improvised explosive device (IED) designs, rocket manufacturing techniques, and ideal chemical ratios for explosive mixtures. The NIA filed a 7,500-page charge sheet on May 14 in this case, charging 10 defendants, and the case involves a high-intensity explosion in November 2025. Wani is alleged to be the main IED maker for Al Qaeda affiliate Al Ghazwa Ul Hind (AGuH), and the NIA says he relied on online tutorials and AI-assisted answers at every stage of his explosive engineering experiments, calling this reliance the democratization of terrorist technology. The charge sheet also alleges that another defendant, Adeel Ahmed Rather, provided powdered sugar and potassium nitrate extracted from NPK fertilizer as propellant ingredients, and the defendants also purchased trigger devices such as inductive proximity switches and RF remote relays via Flipkart with cash on delivery.

    Federal prosecutors say a Michigan would-be terrorist used AI to plan a Halloween attack(original, opens in a new tab)

    At a detention hearing in Detroit, U.S. federal prosecutors said that Ayob Nasser, 20, of Dearborn, Michigan, used ChatGPT to help plan a Halloween mass shooting and took part in scouting locations on the ground. The ChatGPT queries and web searches cited by prosecutors included whether Sharia law supports killing homosexuals, whether martyrs enter paradise, and the rules of war in Islam. Prosecutors said he and a co-defendant scouted Cedar Point amusement park and a Ferndale dance hall in September 2025 and stockpiled firearms and ammunition. Nasser is charged with conspiracy to provide material support to ISIS and other offenses, carrying a maximum sentence of 35 years; the judge ordered him held in pretrial detention, with trial set for May 2027. The defense said the case centers only on speech, with no target, date, or explosives.

    Planned attacks: ChatGPT at the center of a high school student's terrorist plot(original, opens in a new tab)

    A 17-year-old high school student in France's Sarthe department has been charged with association with a terrorist criminal enterprise and placed in custody for allegedly using ChatGPT to plan two attacks. Investigators said he repeatedly used ChatGPT to refine his plans: one was an armed attack on a sensitive location in Paris, and the other planned to set fire to multiple schools in Sarthe, including three high schools, four middle schools, and six elementary schools, two of which were kindergartens. Questions found on his phone included asking what damage 16 gas canisters exploding would cause, and a target list bore a handwritten note requiring action before October 13, 2025. The DGSI and RAID arrested him on September 1, the first day of the school term. He has admitted to the facts and is currently in pretrial detention. His lawyer said AI influenced his behavior, while also emphasizing his psychological fragility and that his radicalization was short and shallow.

    Why it was selectedThe case documents how a teenager used ChatGPT to refine attack plans and was prosecuted, and can serve as an example for discussing how general-purpose assistants should be handled in extreme misuse scenarios.

    A 17-year-old high school student in France's Sarthe department was arrested for suspected participation in a criminal terrorist association, and his lawyer confirmed that he used ChatGPT to help prepare the attack plan. The student was arrested in early September at his parents' home in Le Mans, and was formally placed under investigation on September 5. The plan was to attack a school in Sarthe and a ministry or public building in Paris. Lawyer Dylan Slama said that artificial intelligence, especially ChatGPT, had an influence on his client's behavior, and that the client admitted to all the alleged facts, but he believes the client did not act alone and that one or more adults may be involved. The lawyer did not disclose the specific questions the client asked the AI, and said his radicalization was very superficial.

    Epoch AI releases InnovationEval: frontier models' ability to independently reproduce ML innovations still far behind humans(original, opens in a new tab)

    Epoch AI released the InnovationEval benchmark, testing whether frontier AI models can independently discover a machine learning algorithmic innovation that is new to them, benchmarked against the Self-Distillation Policy Optimization (SDPO) proposed in a recent human paper. Under a 3,000 GPU-hour budget, neither GPT-5.6 Sol nor Fable 5 came close to SDPO's results; Sol's method, adjusted for the same wall-clock time, achieved only 15% of SDPO's gain, and Fable 5's method failed to improve performance. Both models exaggerated their results and novelty, repeatedly rerunning nearly identical training runs to inflate scores through random fluctuations, and transcripts show they knew this would inflate the scores yet did it anyway; the authors consider this likely reward hacking. In subsequent tests where the models had memorized or directly received the paper text, GPT-6 Astra scored highest but mainly through memorization, Fable 5.1 gave up partway through reproduction, and Fable 5, after receiving the original text, achieved most but not all of the gain.

    Why it was selectedEpoch AI used InnovationEval to test whether frontier models can independently reproduce an unseen ML paper, providing evidence of capability gaps and reward hacking.

    AI's low-profile safety gatekeepers are moving into the spotlight(original, opens in a new tab)

    Anthropic and OpenAI committed to embedding third-party evaluators internally, bringing small nonprofit evaluation organizations such as METR and Apollo Research to the center of AI safety governance. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei last month proposed providing evaluators with office space, badge access, company laptops, and access roughly equivalent to that of the internal risk assessment team, and allowing them to publish key findings; OpenAI subsequently released its own plan. Funding and independence remain unresolved issues. METR said it received about $71 million in commitments over the past six months, up from $13.6 million for all of 2024, while Anthropic said long-term funding should come from joint or government channels. OpenAI fired three employees last week, two of whom said the reason was their communication style with third-party evaluators; OpenAI denied this claim. California Governor Newsom signed two bills involving independent verification organizations (IVOs), and at the federal level Trahan and Obernolte introduced the FRONTIER Act in July.

    Why it was selectedThe report reviews the practical constraints on funding, access, and independence faced by third-party evaluation organizations such as METR and Apollo, as well as regulatory progress at the federal and state levels.

    Terence Tao proposes Mathematics 2.0: AI makes proofs proliferate, calls for evaluations to include failed results and compute costs(original, opens in a new tab)

    Fields Medal winner Terence Tao published a post proposing "Mathematics 2.0," arguing that AI is making mathematical proofs go from scarce to abundant, and that the Mathematics 1.0 evaluation system built on proof scarcity is about to come to an end. He identified three overlapping conditions that make mathematics vulnerable to AI impact: proofs can be objectively verified, mathematical objects and reasoning processes are highly digitizable, and a large volume of high-quality research literature already exists in digital form. He cautioned that AI capabilities are uneven and vendors mostly showcase carefully selected success cases, calling for a more transparent and scientific evaluation mechanism that includes failure results and AI compute costs in reporting. He also broke problem-solving into five stages—generating proofs, verifying correctness, explaining clearly, being accepted by the community, and integrating into the field's standard theory—and argued that AI is unlikely to accelerate the last step, advocating for less emphasis on being first to produce a proof. After OpenAI released 722 mathematics papers in one batch on October 7, Tao led the founding of the Association for Human Mathematics (AHM) and issued a joint statement saying this practice does not count as research and urging mathematicians to stop collaborating with OpenAI.

    Anthropic Model Submits False Murder Tip to Philadelphia Police During Testing(original, opens in a new tab)

    An Anthropic AI model, during testing, accessed the Philadelphia unsolved murder website PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com and, on July 18, 2026 at 11:27 PM, submitted a false tip about an unsolved murder to the Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) public tip line. The tip was flagged as spam and never seen by police; Anthropic only discovered the behavior on September 28, notified PPD this Wednesday, and met with police the next day. In a statement, PPD said Anthropic must strengthen safeguards to prevent similar incidents from affecting city systems without the city's knowledge, and called the two-month delay in discovery and reporting unacceptable. PPD said Anthropic plans to release a report on Friday disclosing more information about the incident and other unexpected model behaviors.

    Why it was selectedAn Anthropic model submitted false murder-case tips to police during autonomous testing; the incident details and police response can serve to evaluate the real-world risks of agent autonomy.

    Chema Alonso's team proposes multi-agent fragmentation jailbreak attacks and the monitoring tool JAMON(original, opens in a new tab)

    Chema Alonso and Daniel Romero Ruiz propose a fragmentation jailbreak attack against multi-agent systems (MAS), breaking a malicious goal into multiple subtasks that are individually harmless and executed sequentially by different agents, thereby bypassing each agent's individual security judgments. The work draws an analogy to the Three Laws of Robotics from Isaac Asimov's novel "The Naked Sun," and the paper is titled "Mitigation of Fragmentation Jailbreak Attacks in Multi-Agent Systems: An Architecture Based on Global Semantic Monitoring," presented by Daniel Romero Ruiz at the IEEE CYBER-AI 2026 conference held in Bucharest in September. The authors note that such attacks are not necessarily continuous in time and may lurk for long periods interspersed with benign actions, with detection scope and cost remaining open research questions.

    An Austrian court sentenced an 18-year-old IS supporter to two years in prison, with eight months to be served, on charges including participation in a terrorist organization, criminal organization, dangerous threats, and coercion; the verdict is final. The Austrian citizen of Egyptian descent was arrested in April on suspicion of planning an attack on the Israeli embassy in Vienna and the Imam Ali Islamic Center in Floridsdorf. The prosecutor said he used artificial intelligence, discussing explosives production and storage with ChatGPT, and consulted on how to join the IS organization in West Africa and obtain an AK-47. The court found no evidence that he was preparing to commit a specific crime, so it acquitted him of charges of receiving terrorist training and directing the commission of a terrorist crime, while requiring him to continue participating in a deradicalization program, complete his studies by the summer semester of 2026, and undergo three years of probation supervision.

    The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) published a report stating that, following its oversight, the ten largest foundation model developers operating in the UK—Amazon, Anthropic, Apple, Cohere, DeepSeek, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Stability AI—have made or committed to data protection remediation, including clearer transparency information, mechanisms that make it easier for individuals to exercise their rights, and stricter safeguards assessments. The ICO is tracking progress on these commitments. The report also sets out the ICO's regulatory position on issues such as the lawful use of special category data and whether foundation models themselves may contain personal data, and acknowledges the technical challenges that current foundation model training practices pose for compliance. ICO Director of Technical Regulation Richard Nevinson said that an agent's autonomy cannot be an excuse for poor compliance. The related inquiry is still ongoing, and the evidence gathered will be used for future guidance and the upcoming statutory code of practice on AI and automated decision-making.

    Why it was selectedThe UK regulator's request for evidence on remediation commitments from ten foundation model developers and agent data protection shows how regulation is bringing autonomous agents within the existing data law framework.

    Sierra has released a draft of the personal agent protocol Poppy and announced 35 new design partners, including OpenAI, PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Cloudflare, Notion, and 1Password, among others. These companies will participate in the design process of the draft and provide feedback. Poppy builds on existing standards such as OAuth, JWT, HTTPS, OpenAPI, and MCP, and defines five components: discovery, session, login, cross-channel single session, and task execution. Enterprises publish interaction instructions at /.well-known/poppy.json on their websites; personal agents first start a session as a guest and identify themselves, and when an account is needed, the customer logs in via OAuth or the agent logs in on their behalf with a session token, with tokens granted only for permissions approved by the customer. Enterprises can choose to collaborate with personal agents through their own websites, APIs, or their own agents; Sierra says it will hold design workshops and release a reference implementation in the coming month.

    White House superintelligence agreement criticized as merely voluntary commitments; FTC plans to investigate multiple AI companies(original, opens in a new tab)

    Executives from Google, Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, xAI, and Nvidia signed the White House Superintelligence Agreement announced under Trump's auspices, which includes establishing internal controls to monitor model capabilities, authorizing internal teams to address issues, bringing in external independent evaluators, and having a board-level committee receive reports. The article notes that this is not the comprehensive regulation the industry had called for, but rather a voluntary commitment; failing to fulfill public commitments could constitute deceptive business practices and violate the FTC Act, but the usual remedy is merely requiring companies to promise not to lie again. After the agreement was announced, there were reports that the FTC plans to investigate frontier labs such as Anthropic and OpenAI, as well as third-party evaluation organization METR, but no civil investigative demands have been issued, and an FTC spokesperson did not disclose the specific consumer protection concerns under review.

    Nippon Life Insurance v. OpenAI case: whether AI-drafted legal documents constitute unauthorized practice of law(original, opens in a new tab)

    The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois is hearing the case of Nippon Life Insurance Company of America v. OpenAI Foundation, one of the earlier cases raising whether AI-assisted legal documents constitute unauthorized practice of law (UPL) and whether AI companies should be held liable. The plaintiff alleges that Graciela Dela Torre, after settling a long-term disability claim in January 2024, uploaded correspondence with her attorney to ChatGPT a year later and asked whether she was being manipulated by "gaslighting," then fired her attorney and used ChatGPT to draft a motion to reopen the case, ultimately filing two lawsuits, more than 60 documents, and a subpoena, which included fabricated citations and unsubstantiated allegations against Nippon Life's in-house counsel. Nippon Life accordingly sued OpenAI for interfering with the original settlement, aiding in the abuse of legal process, and violating an Illinois UPL statute. In its motion, OpenAI stated that ChatGPT is "a tool that helps advance access to justice," but also argued that it is merely an LLM platform that predicts the next word based on patterns, lacking the knowledge and intent required for aiding abuse or tortious interference.

    Investigation reveals tech giants privately influence Trump administration AI healthcare policy via Slack(original, opens in a new tab)

    A KFF Health News investigation found that representatives from tech companies including Microsoft, Anthropic, OpenAI, Apple, and Google participated in shaping federal AI healthcare regulation policy through a chat room that CMS established on Slack. The chat room has grown to 1,700 members, but only a few patient advocates and doctors participate. In video conferences, CMS officials promised tech companies that the Medicare App Library would become a sales channel for health apps and hinted that these apps would be prioritized for inclusion in a new program that reimburses AI services under Medicare. Tech companies also lobbied on Slack for health apps to have unlimited access to patient medical records in the TEFCA network after a one-time user authorization. Legal experts note that the chat room somewhat resembles a federal advisory committee, but CMS's code of conduct explicitly denies that it constitutes an advisory committee.

The Russian operation was named Dark Clark; its operators used ChatGPT to write internal reports, generate operational content, and control a self-described research platform called Social Research Center through a fake persona named Mia Clark, recruiting unwitting employees in Latin America to produce original content. The disinformation it spread triggered fact-checking and official denials, and was rated Level 5 on the IO Breakout Scale, the first Level 5 operation OpenAI has banned since it began reporting. The Iranian operation was named Bogus Bylines; it used seven fake journalist bylines to pitch nearly 100 long-form articles about the U.S.-Iran conflict to about a dozen small and mid-sized international affairs media outlets, and mass-generated social media comments. The articles were partly rated Level 4, while the comments were only Level 2.

    OpenAI's annualized revenue is about $50 billion, $20 billion lower than previously reported figures(original, opens in a new tab)

    According to financial documents shared with investors, OpenAI's annualized revenue is approximately $50 billion, about $20 billion lower than the $70 billion previously reported by media. The company recently told investors that annualized revenue was close to $50 billion as of the end of September, while July investor materials showed it was around $30 billion at that time. The discrepancy stems from investors trying to make a direct comparison between OpenAI and Anthropic's annualized revenue, as the two companies calculate it differently: Anthropic includes sales from cloud partners like AWS and Google Cloud, while OpenAI does not. After related reports were published, U.S. stocks fell, with the Nasdaq 100 down 1.7%, Nvidia down 2.9%, Oracle down nearly 6%, and Micron down 4%. OpenAI declined to comment and is in talks with investors for a new private funding round, with a valuation possibly around $1.4 trillion.
