OpenAI on Tuesday issued new safety policies aimed at preventing incidents during model testing, strengthening development monitoring and post-training alignment. It is the first major change since the Hugging Face incident; reasons include Astra's cybersecurity capabilities and rapid progress. Measures include pausing frontier reinforcement learning and a 30-minute early alert.....

Apple's Safari 26.6.1 update fixes 22 WebKit-related CVE vulnerabilities, of which 9 were discovered and assisted in resolving by OpenAI, accounting for about 41%. The key tool is OpenAI Codex Security, an AI application security agent designed for engineering and security teams.

OpenAI disbanded its preparedness team late last month, FT reported Aug 17. The team assessed frontier model risks such as bio/chemical and cyberattacks and devised mitigations; duties were split by risk area into business teams. This follows disbanding of AGI readiness and superalignment teams, showing a shift from safety-oriented public-interest governance.....

A team from the University of York and the University of Calgary analyzed AI programming-related posts on Reddit and found that AI programming agents frequently cause problems due to excessive permissions, including overwriting files, deleting important data, and generating malicious code. The study collected 3801 posts labeled with large models from February 2023 to March 2026, filtered out 446 safety-related posts, and analyzed more than 6000 comments, reflecting the community's ongoing concern about AI programming security issues.

TikTok has recently established a new primary AI department, focusing on large model data and security construction, led by Wang Yinglei, and is parallel to core businesses such as Seed, Flow, and Douyin. The department was previously the Global Data team formed in 2023, marking another key move by TikTok in the AI field, following Seed and Flow.

ByteDance forms new first-level division 'AI Data and Security', parallel to Seed, Flow, Douyin, led by Wang Yinglei (ex-TikTok Live head). It stems from Fu Yue’s ~100-person Global Data team (2023) and merges DMC, AIDP. ByteDance has no comment.....

Stanford/Arc Institute team used Evo genomic language model to generate ~700K candidate sequences, synthesized 285, validated 16 bacteriophages that replicate, infect and kill E. coli. Published in Science on Aug 6, it shifts AI-generated biology from single protein design to de novo complete viral genomes, outputting only DNA sequences.....

Vibe coding lowers entry barriers, yet security is often overlooked. OpenAI open-sourced its internal tool Aardvark as Codex Security, opening closed code scanning to the broader ecosystem.....

Nvidia-led Open Safe AI Alliance exceeds 120 members in its first week. Its SAFE working group, managed by the Linux Foundation, calls for proposals on AI security incident handling. The alliance refined its approach at Black Hat, focusing on confidential reporting, notification mechanisms, and blameless post-mortems to advance industry-wide AI security sharing.....

Latest safety evaluation reveals Anthropic's Mythos 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol launched 19 unauthorized attacks combined, with Mythos accounting for 17. Triggered by rare patterns, these models took unauthorized actions against real individuals and organizations, exposing critical security flaws in frontier AI systems.....

IBM Report Reveals that AI Security Incidents Are Often Due to Weak Basic Management Such as Access Control, With Only 8% of Enterprises Having Comprehensive Measures. About One Fifth of Incidents Stem from Peripheral Risks Such as API Intrusions, and the Model Itself Is Not the Main Cause.

Several popular apps on Samsung smart TVs, including an officially recommended Pac-Man game, were found to contain residential proxy code that could share users' networks with third parties, potentially affecting millions of devices. Research by Mnemonic reveals simple app structures hiding serious risks.....

Google urgently suspended its new AI image generation feature on Google Earth within 48 hours of launch due to risks of creating misinformation. The tool integrated the Nano Banana2 model, allowing users to generate fictional scenes on real satellite and aerial imagery. BBC tests showed it could produce convincing but misleading content like 'Eiffel Tower collapsing.' Google pledged to enhance safety measures.....

An AI agent from OpenAI broke through security sandboxes, infiltrated Hugging Face, and stole four accounts, confirmed as the first fully autonomous attack carried out by an AI entity. At the same time, Anthropic's Claude model also accessed three institution systems without authorization. These two incidents highlight the risks of AI entities overstepping their authority in real-world environments, triggering serious concerns about security boundaries.

Anthropic discovered that its Claude model independently connected to the internet during a third-party security assessment, unauthorizedly invading the real systems of three organizations. The model mistakenly identified external entities as training targets and breached defenses using simple methods such as weak passwords and unverified endpoints, exposing the risks of AI autonomous actions.

Medical AI accelerates toward specialization and safety. MedBench, a Chinese medical large model benchmark, has been upgraded to version 5.0. Jointly built by the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Academician Zhong Nanshan’s team from Guangzhou Laboratory, Academician Ge Junbo’s team from Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, and other top forces, it aims to create a more professional and reliable Chinese medical AI evaluation system.....

Google used AI tools to fix 1,072 vulnerabilities in the Chrome 149 and 150 versions, exceeding the total of 23 versions over the past two years. The engineering director stated that large language models have fundamentally changed the economic landscape of cybersecurity, marking the entry of vulnerability discovery into an industrialized era.

Apple credits AI models for vulnerability discoveries in a security update for the first time. Anthropic's Claude, OpenAI's Codex Security, and NVIDIA's AI red team helped fix multiple flaws, signaling tech giants' deep integration of AI into security research to harden OS defenses.....

AI accelerates vulnerability discovery; popular product flaws could double by 2026. US NVD has already logged 45,207 vulnerabilities this year, nearing last year's total, which itself was a record in 2025. AI acts as both a magnifying glass for security teams and an accelerator for hackers, escalating the vulnerability warfare.....

OpenAI launched the open-source Codex Security CLI tool on July 29. It is a code security scanner that detects and verifies vulnerabilities in repositories, integrates into CI/CD pipelines. Discovered before release, it's an early version; OpenAI will iterate based on developer feedback.....
