AI researcher Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic after three years at it and OpenAI, warning publicly that the two companies are "racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives." Speaking to the BBC, he said people inside the industry are "genuinely frightened" about the speed of progress. His resignation posts reached more than 100 million people, though some industry figures argue the dangers are overblown.

Recent findings suggest that AI text detection tools are increasingly identifying human-authored content as machine-generated based on specific, common vocabulary. This trend poses a significant risk to content creators and marketers whose original work may be unfairly penalized by automated filters.

Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have developed a training method that helps AI models recognise unfamiliar topics and say "I don't know" instead of guessing. The work targets AI overconfidence — a major risk in fields like medicine and autonomous driving — since widely used chatbots are incentivised to produce plausible answers rather than admit uncertainty.

After being exposed, the creator recruited seven real musicians in Tokyo to perform the songs live, arguing the project ended up creating jobs rather than taking them.
