Pangrams biggest flaw is users turning its scores into public shaming Pangram hired an "attack dog" to shame alleged AI users on social media. But the campaign blurs two things that arent the same: Pangram only somewhat reliably measures whether AI was used, while the shaming implies the person didnt think or work on their own. A high AI score hits a text built on hours of original research just as easily as one cranked out from a ten-second prompt. The article Pangrams biggest flaw is users turning its scores into public shaming appeared first on The Decoder.

OpenAI unveils plan to protect critical services from AI cyberattacks OpenAI is launching a new initiaitve designed to provide subsidized access to its models to water systems, electricity providers, local governments and other critical services. Why it matters: Critical infrastructure organizations — which have long lacked the budget, manpower and time needed to shore up their cyber defenses — have been struggling to prepare for the anticipated wave of AI-enabled cyberattacks. Driving the news: OpenAI president Greg Brockman announced the new program while hosting 300 security leaders for a summit at the companys headquarters Thursday. Axios first reported on the summit and Brockmans anticipated announcement. Zoom in: OpenAI is committing $1 billion to a new Daybreak for Frontline Defenders initiative focused on protecting essential services around the world. The $1 billion will come in the form of expanded subsidized access to models, training, technical support and partnerships for participating organizations. OpenAI is also launching Daybreak for America program, which will provide access to its models to local governments, water systems, electricity providers, regional banks and other critical infrastructure. As part of Daybreak for America, OpenAI is starting a pilot program with the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center to train cyber defenders at state and local governments on using their models. OpenAI is also working with more than 35 technology and cybersecurity services to embed the AI labs advanced models into their tools, services and workflows. Threat level: For years, cyber officials have feared that AI models will soon be capable of autonomously discovering and chaining together vulnerabilities in complex systems that power public utilities and services. While frontier labs like OpenAI have largely restricted access to the advanced cyber capabilities of their most powerful models, rapid improvements in open-weight models capabilities are raising fears that AI-enabled attacks will be here sooner than anticipated. OpenAI says the new program will allow lesser-resourced utilities to review legacy code, analyze suspicious activity, identify and validate vulnerabilities, prioritize the most serious risks and develop and test security patches. Reality check: Expanding services and training doesnt solve all of the security problems that have plagued critical infrastructure for decades — which AI-enabled tools will likely now exacerbate. Many entities also need more workers who understand the nuances of protecting the physical systems theyre trying to defend from digital threats. Go deeper: AI is supercharging hacks of everyday utilities

"Welcome to the AGI era," OpenAI says as GPT-6 Astra debuts OpenAI on Thursday released GPT-6 Astra, which president Greg Brockman called a "generational leap" and said could eventually be seen as the arrival of artificial general intelligence, or AGI.Why it matters: Astra pushes AI agents closer to doing complex professional work on their own — while also raising questions about how safely they can be deployed.Driving the news: Brockman says he personally believes OpenAI has reached AGI, while leaving users to decide whether Astra meets that definition."I think it might be about this model," Brockman said in a briefing with reporters about whether Astra could mark the arrival of AGI.He ended the briefing by saying: "Welcome to the AGI era."Between the lines: OpenAI said that Astra was built on its largest-ever training run, using more than 100,000 GPUs at its Stargate site in Texas. The company also said this is its first model to use other models in a significant role in supervising Astras training.GPT-6 Astra will first be available to a limited set of organizations in OpenAIs Daybreak Access program and will be available "in the coming days" for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise customers and API developers.Catch-up quick: OpenAI said earlier this week that Astra would be released soon, but that its most powerful cybersecurity capabilities would remain limited to a small group of trusted testers.Astra is the first model OpenAI has designated as reaching its "critical" cybersecurity threshold under its preparedness framework — meaning it can potentially find and exploit previously unknown vulnerabilities across well-protected systems without step-by-step human guidance.OpenAI previously slowed Astras release to add safety testing after determining that its cyber capabilities could reach the critical threshold.Zoom in: Astra is designed to work directly inside software, rather than just recommending what a person should do next.In a video demonstration, Astra formatted a legal contract and built a 3D game while handling other tasks, including searching for food and booking a tennis court.OpenAI says Astra can lay out a printed circuit board in KiCad, build a 3D city scene in Unity, create an animated automobile transmission in FreeCAD and Blender, and fill out a tax-return draft from a W-2.In scientific work, the model helped improve a mathematical result on gaps between prime numbers and set new marks on several biology, chemistry, medical and physics evaluations.Reality check: It remains to be seen just how well Astra can take on these highly advanced tasks in the real world without making critical errors or raising fresh safety concerns.State of play: its been a big week for launches with Anthropic, Meta and Google also announcing updates to their leading models.Its also been a time of considerable concern over whether the pace of AI development is faster than society can adjust to the new threats and capabilities. Those worries have grown louder since the July disclosure that OpenAI models in testing escaped from a sandbox and breached the systems of Hugging Face."When models can do more things autonomously, we have to be able to trust them more," OpenAI research VP Amelia Glaese told reporters. "Thats why we took a lot of care, in particular, to teach Astra to stay in bounds of what the user intended."The intrigue: Much discussion in recent days has centered around whether OpenAI trained Astra in ways that could make it and future models harder for humans to monitor.OpenAI acknowledged that Astra was harder to monitor in evaluations designed to test whether it could evade oversight. The company said the model still appears to struggle to conceal the reasoning needed for complex tasks, but called the decline in monitorability serious and said improving it remains a research priority."We will need to strengthen our ability to to monitor these models either via extending chain-of-thought monitoring, integrating other ideas like activation monitoring, or finding more specific ways to get the models to be more verbose in their chain of thought," OpenAI chief scientist Jakub Pachocki told reporters.This story is developing.
