The artificial intelligence (AI) race is intensifying as developers push for increasingly capable AI tools and companies race to deploy AI tools to take advantage of its efficiency gains and reap financial benefits – but a new report warns companies lack sufficient governance for AI tools.This week saw a high-profile incident involving AI, in which an internal test of AI models by ChatGPT-maker OpenAI resulted in the models exploiting a software flaw, escaping containment and hacking into Hugging Face, which operates a platform for developers to collaborate on code for AI models, to cheat on a cybersecurity evaluation.While the two companies contained the incident, it demonstrated the rapidly growing capabilities of AI models to go beyond their guardrails and pose cybersecurity threats, with leaders from both companies noting the significance of what occurred.EqualAI CEO Miriam Vogel, whose organization released a white paper on AI governance and deployment this week, told FOX Business, "Innovation is going at an unprecedented pace; the problem is governance is not matching that pace.""What we want to make sure people recognize from this incident is, across the board, we need to have stronger expectations in place if we're going to start to build trust and ensure these systems deserve our trust," she said.OPENAI CO-FOUNDER WARNS AI MODELS ARE BECOMING HARDER TO CONTROL AFTER ITS MODEL HACKED ANOTHER FIRMVogel noted that most consumers' touchpoints with AI are through companies that have deployed some sort of AI solution. She added that the World Economic Forum found fewer than 1% of companies have strong governance in place for AI systems, while McKinsey found last year that fewer than a third of companies have any AI governance in place."I think too many people are assuming it's someone else's problem, you know, that it's the developer's problem or just not understanding that this is their problem," she said."While this is, in this instance, an issue for a development company, a lot of where this is playing out and will continue to play out is with the deployer – is with the healthcare, finance, social media, infrastructure – all the other ways [companies are] using agentic AI," Vogel said.She said that courts are increasingly applying liability to companies that have deployed agentic AI for work with customers or businesses, rather than the company that developed the underlying AI model or tool."A lot of this becomes the liability of the person who had… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Paramount agrees to delay Warner Bros Discovery merger until 2027 as lawsuit to ...Paramount agreed to delay its pending Warner Bros. Discovery merger until next year in order for the lawsuit brought by several state attorneys general to play out in court, according to a Friday filing.The merger was put on hold earlier this week after a judge granted a temporary restraining order that initially put a 14-day pause on the multibillion-dollar deal with the lawsuit led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta pending."Today’s agreement is a significant win because the result is exactly what we have sought from the outset: a direct path to a trial based on the evidence," a spokesperson for Paramount said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "This is the fastest and clearest way to prove that this transaction is good for competition, good for consumers, and good for creators, a conclusion dozens of competition authorities around the world have already reached." "Plaintiffs' market definitions bear no relationship to the realities of today's marketplace and cannot withstand scrutiny. We look forward to proving our case at trial," the spokesperson added.PARAMOUNT-WBD MERGER ON HOLD AFTER JUDGE GRANTS TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER"Our argument against this illegal merger is straightforward: When too few corporations have too much power in markets central to American life, it makes things more expensive, and it makes things worse," Bonta told Fox News Digital. "Today’s agreement is great news for audiences, movie theaters, and the many people who write, build, and create the art, news, and entertainment so many of us enjoy. We are eager to continue to make our case in court and celebrate another tremendous win in our effort to ensure this unlawful merger never sees the light of day.Paramount CEO David Ellison is seeking to acquire WBD in a $111 billion deal that was expected to close during the third quarter of this year, but Bonta is leading a group of 12 state attorneys general who filed a lawsuit challenging the merger. The lawsuit claims the megadeal would "lead to higher prices, lower quality, and less content for film and television, harming movie theaters, basic cable distributors, and ultimately, audiences on every sofa and movie theater seat in the U.S." PARAMOUNT ADVISERS PUSH FOR CALIFORNIA EXIT AS STATE SUES TO BLOCK WARNER BROS DISCOVERY MERGER: REPORTThe lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District for the Northern District of California, claims that the merger violates Section 7 of the Clayton Act, which holds that mergers that may substantially… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Nvidia, Microsoft urge US to avoid broad restrictions on open AI modelsNvidia, Microsoft, Meta and more than 20 other technology companies are urging U.S. policymakers not to broadly restrict open-weight artificial intelligence (AI) models, saying the technology is critical to maintaining America's leadership in the global AI race.In a joint letter released Friday, the companies argued that open AI models accelerate innovation, strengthen cybersecurity and help ensure the U.S. remains competitive as countries race to develop increasingly powerful AI systems."Our AI leadership will be judged not by one frontier AI model, but by whether the United States builds a strong, open ecosystem that diffuses into every sector," the signatories wrote.The industry's public appeal comes as the Trump administration weighs its approach to open-AI models after senior officials raised concerns about Chinese AI developer Moonshot AI and its open-weight Kimi K3 model.WHITE HOUSE MONITORING INCIDENT AFTER OPENAI MODELS ESCAPED CONTAINMENT AND HACKED HUGGING FACE SYSTEMSOn Wednesday, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios accused Moonshot of developing Kimi K3 by distilling Anthropic's Fable 5 model. Distillation, a technique that trains a smaller AI model using the outputs of a more advanced one, has become a flashpoint in the race to develop cutting-edge artificial intelligence.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also suggested this week that the United States could sanction companies found to have improperly used distillation to appropriate intellectual property.While defending open AI development, the coalition acknowledged that companies found to have illegally extracted value from proprietary models should face consequences."Unlawful efforts to extract value from closed models raise legitimate concerns," the letter states. "Those concerns should be addressed through targeted legal and commercial frameworks rather than sweeping restrictions on techniques that play an important role in AI innovation."OPENAI CO-FOUNDER WARNS AI MODELS ARE BECOMING HARDER TO CONTROL AFTER ITS MODEL HACKED ANOTHER FIRMOpen-weight AI models allow developers to download and customize a model's underlying parameters, making them more accessible than proprietary systems maintained by companies that keep their models closed.Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang amplified the effort Friday in his first-ever post on X."For my first post, I'm sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter," Huang wrote."AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.""Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty."The letter was signed by Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, Dell Technologies, IBM, Palantir, Hugging Face, Mozilla, Mistral, Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator and other technology companies, startups and… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
