A Submit Button Doesn't Grant Permission
An Anthropic model filed a false police tip during a web test. The challenge is to stop unauthorized submissions without stopping AI assistants from helping people make legitimate ones.

On-device AI
AI Devices Need More Than a Shared Memory
On-device AI is making personal activity searchable across phones, PCs, and smart glasses. But shared access to a record does not ensure that every AI application will know when the information it relies on has changed.
Training Data
What Comes After the Dataset
Reinforcement learning environments let models repeat multi-step software tasks under controlled conditions. For AI training-data companies, finding tasks that still expose a model's weaknesses is becoming part of producing the next round of training material.

In the Age of AI, How Do We Relate to the World?
We have not stopped carrying things out; we may be losing the capacity to act.

Agents Stop Waiting for Humans to Wire Them In
Meta’s Muse can create its own connectors—software links that allow an agent to use external services. If agents can increasingly build these bridges themselves, the true value lies less in the connector itself and more in the access behind it.

Counting Humans as Agent Parts
New ways of evaluating AI agents are beginning to measure when people have to step in, how often they are needed, and how much that human involvement costs.

When the Research Sample Comes Before the Question
LLM-based agent simulation systems can keep a modeled population available beyond one study, allowing researchers to return with another question or another scenario. That lowers the cost of testing ideas—and turns validation into a continuing task.

Agents Don’t Need to Click Like We Do
Websites are beginning to let agents act directly instead of making them work through the same steps people do.
