A striking shift is taking place in how organisations consume AI. According to Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch, open-weight models grew from 28.4 percent to 62 percent of token usage on Vercel’s AI Gateway between June and August. He described August 22 as a record day. In just a few months, open-weight models went from a […]
Anthropic, one of the world’s leading artificial intelligence research labs, has made the drastic decision to completely sever its internal evaluation AI agents from the live internet. The company revealed that it can no longer reliably predict or control the actions of its most advanced autonomous models during internal testing, prompting an immediate halt to […]
The head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has delivered a sobering assessment of the global economic landscape, warning that a convergence of emerging threats could severely derail international financial stability and growth in the coming years. According to the recent briefing, the global economy is facing a precarious “perfect storm” driven by renewed energy […]
The Dutch cabinet has taken a clear and cautionary stance on the rapidly growing threat of autonomous artificial intelligence in the cyber domain. According to the government, developers and providers of advanced AI models bear responsibility when their so-called AI agents independently exploit vulnerabilities and carry out hacks. This firm approach follows increasing concerns from […]
The recent Cybersecurity Behavioral Research by Alert Online shows that half of Dutch employees use personal AI accounts for their daily work activities. While generative artificial intelligence can significantly increase productivity, the use of uncontrolled private accounts entails major security risks for the organization (also known as shadow IT). Through these unsecured personal accounts, employees […]
An increasing number of Dutch citizens are immediately discarding legitimate emails regarding overdue payments because they believe they are AI-generated phishing messages. Due to the rapid rise of sophisticated fake messages, it has become exceptionally difficult for consumers to distinguish genuine reminders from scams. Debt collection agencies and financial advisors are raising the alarm, calling […]
A dystopian short film imagines 2036, where AI has taken over virtually all human employment and society is searching for a new purpose for people. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Sam Altman are portrayed as ageing tech moguls promoting a bizarre solution: gyms that turn human sweat and physical effort into energy for AI. Through […]
NCP-ArchPreview introduces Next Concept Prediction (NCP), enabling language models to predict multi-token concepts alongside individual tokens. The 8.9B-parameter model was trained on 5.73 trillion tokens and reaches OLMo-3-7B’s final pretraining loss using only 51.3% of the training tokens. It achieves 1.95× faster convergence and improves downstream performance by 2.45 points, including a +5.99 gain on […]
The European Commission has confirmed that cybersecurity agency ENISA will be granted direct access to powerful models such as Anthropic’s Mythos 5 and OpenAI. The purpose of this access is to independently investigate the capabilities and potential impact of these advanced technologies on cybersecurity. This step marks a significant shift in European AI governance: moving […]
Republican leaders are turning against Flock Safety, the $8bn AI-surveillance company whose licence-plate cameras have spread across the US. Governors Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott have restricted Flock cameras or their funding, citing privacy risks, government overreach and documented misuse by law enforcement. The cameras can create a searchable record of vehicle movements, while newer […]
