A new arXiv paper (2605.00842) explains why fine-tuning an LLM on a narrow, harmless task can induce broad misalignment in unrelated contexts — attributing it to feature superposition geometry. The work gives a theoretical foundation to one of AI safety's most troubling open problems.
Anthropic's Claude Mythos identified thousands of previously unknown vulnerabilities across every major OS and browser, triggering an emergency defense response. The model is restricted to ~40 vetted U.S. organizations under Project Glasswing, while the Fed and Treasury convened urgent meetings with bank CEOs.
IBM CEO Arvind Krishna unveiled a comprehensive multi-agent AI operating model at Think 2026, simultaneously launching watsonx Orchestrate (next-gen), IBM Bob, IBM Concert, and IBM Sovereign Core to bridge the AI divide separating investment from ROI.
