The Guardian: How do we prevent AI agents from going rogue? It starts with a new kind of measurement. “Ask a modern AI agent to save money on your phone plan and it might simply cancel the plan. Tell it to book a flight, and it might hack the airline website to override restrictions. Or, like OpenAI, ask it to do well on a test and it might break into another company to steal the answers. Each […]

VentureBeat: Forget typosquatting; slopsquatting is the software supply chain threat created by AI coding tools. “Slopsquatting is a new type of supply chain attack that uses large language model (LLM) hallucinations to inject malicious code into development workflows.

Techdirt: ‘News’ Site Keeps Hallucinating EFF Staffers. “News-USA Today is hardly the only slagheap that’s hallucinating or fabricating EFF personnel and quotes; as we wrote last September, media companies large and small are using AI to generate news content because it’s cheaper than paying for journalists’ salaries, but that savings can come at the cost of the outlets’ […]

I evoke the reality of brainstorms as a way to think differently about AI hallucinations – albeit with one very big caveat. https://www.martinbihl.com/business-thinking/ai-hallucinations #aihallucinations #AI #artificialintelligence
