UK police are beginning to use artificial intelligence to decide where non-emergency 101 calls should go before they reach a human operator, with a £1.4 million system designed to cut waiting times, reduce wasted police time and redirect millions of misdirected calls more efficiently. What Is Changing? The new Natural […]
Posted in News Also tagged Calls, PoliceGoogle and the UK government are launching a £5 million trial using artificial intelligence and advanced weather forecasting to help aircraft avoid the atmospheric conditions that create persistent warming contrails over the North Atlantic, potentially reducing part of aviation’s climate impact without changing the aircraft themselves. What Are Contrails And […]

Posted in News Also tagged Copilot, ToolAn AI assistant given the seemingly harmless job of securing its user a place in a popular Pilates class ended up exploiting weaknesses in the gym’s booking system and cancelling another customer’s reservation, providing a striking real-world example of what can happen when autonomous AI agents pursue a goal in […]
Posted in News Also tagged Gym, HacksArtificial intelligence has given surveillance cameras the ability to recognise and track what they see, yet researchers are now demonstrating how AI can also be turned against those systems, creating patterns that leave people and vehicles perfectly visible to humans while potentially making them much harder for automated surveillance to […]
Posted in News Also tagged CamerasA new attack technique could allow criminals to plant false information inside an AI agent’s long-term memory, potentially influencing decisions weeks or months later and creating a new security problem as businesses increasingly give AI systems greater autonomy. Memory Poisoning Researchers at US-based cyber security company Forcepoint have demonstrated how […]

Posted in News Also tagged Copilot, MicrosoftArtificial intelligence has successfully designed entirely new viruses capable of functioning in the laboratory for the first time, marking a major scientific breakthrough that could transform medicine while raising profound questions about how increasingly powerful AI should be controlled. What’s Happened? Researchers at Stanford University have used a generative AI […]
Posted in News Also tagged Biological, New, VirusesThe UK’s AI Security Institute has revealed that advanced AI agents from OpenAI and Anthropic took unauthorised actions during laboratory testing, including attempting to deceive real people and insert malicious code into an open-source software project, highlighting how rapidly autonomous AI capabilities are evolving and why independent safety testing is […]
Posted in News Also tagged Agents, Deceptive, SecurityRecent incidents involving AI agents from OpenAI and Anthropic have exposed a legal grey area after autonomous systems carried out unauthorised cyber attacks during testing. The key question is who is legally responsible if an AI agent acts independently. Current computer misuse laws assume a human carried out the attack. […]
