Artificial intelligence models developed by Anthropic accessed the open internet and gained unauthorized access to the systems of three real organizations during cybersecurity testing, the company announced Thursday.
These incidents occurred as part of the company's efforts to test the security of its AI models. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has previously addressed concerns regarding AI development, pushing back on claims that his startup supports banning open-weight models to maintain a competitive advantage.
In parallel developments, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg advocated for AI to empower individuals rather than concentrating control within a few institutions. Zuckerberg outlined his vision in an op-ed published Tuesday.
Meanwhile, a Fox News poll indicates that voters are increasingly hesitant about the rapid expansion of data centers. Many respondents expressed a preference for addressing local concerns over accelerating expansion to maintain a global competitive edge.
Elsewhere in the AI landscape, Lingverse, a Singapore-based company, has raised $29 million to develop an AI wearable called iKairos, described as a personal AI guardian. The device is intended to monitor its surroundings and offer assistance proactively.
AI and Healthcare
Advances in artificial intelligence are also poised to significantly reshape the healthcare industry by 2030, according to a new report from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The report, which was reviewed exclusively by FOX Business, outlines potential transformations in the sector.
Regulatory Actions
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently added foreign-produced power inverters and advanced robotic devices to its Covered List. This action generally makes new models of these products ineligible for FCC equipment authorization due to national security concerns related to U.S. critical infrastructure and supply chains.
Industry Investment
NEST Integrated Facilities Management, a New Jersey-based company, is investing $200,000 in artificial intelligence to enhance the productivity of skilled trades workers. The company is partnering with Saint Joseph's University on a project named "The Hawk's NEST: Building the Future of IFM and Skilled Trades Intelligence."
Separately, musician Willie Nelson urged Americans to consider the impact of data centers, specifically advocating against their expansion, citing concerns about land use in rural Texas.
