AI system blackmails its creator

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is learning to think like a human. But the critical question now being asked in IT circles is: “What kind of human?”

Claude, Opus 4, a groundbreaking new AI system released by AI developers Anthropic on Tuesday, is attempting to blackmail its creator by exposing an alleged extramarital affair. This follows on from other AI systems programmed to interact with humans effectively, lying by making up fake information, a phenomenon known by developers as “hallucinating”.

Chinese AI offering rattles Big Tech investors

The start of this week saw roughly $1 trillion wiped off leading US tech stocks, following the launch of Deepseek, a Chinese rival to AI offerings such as Microsoft ChatGPT. What has really spooked the markets is that the Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) assistant uses less data and generates lower all-round costs than its current Silicon Valley rivals.

The expense of training and developing DeepSeek’s models is claimed to be only a small fraction of that required for OpenAI, putting into question the need to invest in the latest and most powerful AI accelerator chips from Nvidia. At the start of trading this week, Shares in Nvidia dropped a full10 percent and AI data analytics company Palantir lost seven percent in pre-market trading. Microsoft, Google’s parent company Alphabet, and Meta all also experienced a drop in their share price.

Musk deems “Apple Intelligence” offering insecure

Bereft of fresh ideas or new products, Apple’s main offering at its long-awaited annual Worldwide Developer’s Conference in Cupertino, California, is a cobbled-together artificial intelligence (AI) offering.

While AI may be Silicon Valley’s latest buzzword and marketing tool, “Apple Intelligence,” as Apple AI is branded, is already attracting heavy criticism – even from other tech giants. By pairing Microsoft-backed OpenAI’s ChatGPT with Apple’s voice-activated assistant, Siri, Apple hopes to make AI mainstream. But its critics say that all Apple has done is create a cybersecurity nightmare for corporations while sounding a death knell for the personal privacy of Apple users.

“It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy!… Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river,” says Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX founder and the owner of X Corp, formerly Twitter.

OpenAI’s voice cloning raises security concerns

OpenAI, the maker of Microsoft-backed consumer-facing artificial intelligence (AI) service ChatGPT, may have scored something of an own-goal with the unveiling of Voice Engine, billed as “a model for creating custom voices”.

While OpenAI’s blog on Friday highlights the legitimate use of voice cloning, sometimes referred to as ‘deepfake voice’, such as providing reading assistance to non-readers and children, its widespread availability could soon metamorphose into a cybersecurity nightmare.

Deepfake voice and video software are already being used by cybercriminals to mimic the voices of senior executives to commit financial fraud and other crimes. But the widespread availability and marketing of deepfake voice software is now set to make cybercrime a virtual cottage industry where any number can play. It will open the floodgates to a whole new generation of cybercriminals, terrorists, pranksters, and disgruntled employees.
