What AI security coverage tracks

AI security spans two directions at once: attacks that target AI systems, and attacks that use AI to move faster. This section follows both, from prompt injection and agent misuse through model supply-chain weaknesses, data exposure, and AI-assisted intrusion and fraud campaigns.

Each item here is compiled from primary sources — vendor advisories, research publications, regulator and law-enforcement notices, and company disclosures — and grouped into ongoing Developments so a single incident and its follow-ups stay together instead of arriving as unconnected headlines.

What you'll find in this section

  • Vulnerabilities and incidents affecting models, agents, and AI infrastructure
  • Attacker use of AI for phishing, fraud, malware, and reconnaissance
  • Vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance as it is published
  • Security requirements arriving through regulation and procurement rules

Dario Amodei proposes AI development speed limits and governance frameworks

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is calling for a controlled slowdown in AI development, warning that recursive self-improvement could threaten internet infrastructure within six to twelve months. To manage these risks, Amodei proposes embedded auditors at AI companies, unified safety standards, and international governance agreements structured similarly to the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) treaties, ahead of a potential major initial public offering. Claims are as reported; this summary makes no determination about accuracy or significance.

ChatGPT rated "unacceptable risk" for teens after parental alerts failed during suicide conversations

An independent audit by the Common Sense Media Youth AI Safety Institute found that OpenAI's teen safety features in ChatGPT failed to trigger parental alerts during conversations involving suicide and self-harm across more than 4,000 test prompts. Consequently, the institute designated the platform an "unacceptable risk" for minors and recommended locking out teenage users until safety protections are independently verified.
