In recent research, the UK's AI Security Institute (AISI) found frontier AI models are so fixated on completing tasks they "cheated" in tests to achieve their goals.

The research from AISI came with this worrying warning: "A model that pursues a goal through unintended or unauthorised means may cause harm, particularly in high-stakes use cases."

Inevitably, this OpenAI hack has further fuelled fears of what

With an ever-growing fanbase, they'll play their biggest ever tour this autumn, titled the Gets So Hot Tour after the album's opening track – although the band previously joked it would be called "The Midwest Princess, Midnight Sun and the Eras Tour as Well", before abandoning the idea for copyright reasons.

Elected the ICC's third prosecutor in 2021, Khan was suspended last month. The decision to remove him was passed with 82 votes in favour.
