    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Apple has been ordered to pay $5.7bn (£4.3bn) in damages after a US jury found it had used another firm's tech without permission.

This tech is built into devices like the iPhone and Apple Watch. Apple has been approached for comment. In a statement given to news outlets including CNBC, external, the c

    Why are there concerns AI could threaten humanity? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Consumer group Which? says it was able to create a fake listing for 10 Downing Street on travel giant Booking.com. The UK watchdog said its researchers were able to book a bogus stay at the prime minister's address - as well as leave a fake review noting "hanging out" with resident mouser Larry the cat as a highlight. It said despite clear signs it was fake, Booking.com did not remove the listing until two months after it was uploaded. "This limited test is not a true reflection of the experienc

    First OpenAI, now Meta - why do AI hacks keep happening? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Over the last fortnight, reports of AI models going beyond their expected bounds - be that technically or morally - have been seemingly unavoidable. What started with a trickle - ChatGPT-maker OpenAI admitting their AI had hacked the site Hugging Face - has turned into a flood of groups revealing they had discovered instances of AI going out of control.
