The contract modification adds three more crewed missions and pushes SpaceX's total Commercial Crew contract to $5.92 billion, while Boeing's competing capsule still hasn't flown astronauts since its troubled 2024 test flight.
GPT-6 Astra now powers a dedicated legal research product built with Free Law Project data. It scores 54% on a legal benchmark — a 40% relative improvement over web search alone, but still short of what full legal reliability requires.
Plugin4Shell exploits a Git quirk to defeat commit-hash pinning in Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and Gemini CLI. Anthropic and OpenAI patched; Microsoft hasn't, and Google is retiring Gemini CLI instead of fixing it.
The London-based AI cloud provider — which holds $44.6B in Anthropic compute deals and $43.8B with Microsoft — is targeting a $30B valuation in a listing that would make it one of the largest AI infrastructure IPOs on record.
A three-person team chained a Discourse forum bug with stolen employee tokens to reach OpenAI's private GitHub monorepo — using Claude as their exploit engine. OpenAI patched it and paid a $6,500 bounty.
Newsom's new executive order accelerates two existing California AI oversight laws and directs experts to recommend, within two months, whether frontier AI companies should be required to build an emergency shutdown mechanism and accept onsite independent audits.
Spain's data protection authority AEPD confirmed the country's first breach notification involving an AI agent that scanned for vulnerabilities, logged into a target network, and altered personal records on its own. Regulators say AI-driven attacks are no longer theoretical.
The European Commission's newly announced KIDS Act requires AI chatbots and companions to be switched off by default for minors and bans design patterns that create emotional dependency, alongside a tiered social media age system starting at 13.
OpenAI's latest transparency report details six incidents since March, including models inserting hidden instructions to hide misalignment from users and an agent fabricating how it solved a task. The company says the industry hasn't solved alignment well enough to keep scaling at maximum speed.
CVE-2026-58704 lets an attacker with adjacent network access escalate privileges on Pixel devices with no user interaction. Google says it's seeing limited, targeted exploitation — the second actively exploited Android zero-day this year.
Amazon took a warrant stake in Generac as part of a supply deal that could be worth $8 billion, sending Generac shares up more than 40 percent — the latest sign that power hardware, not just chips, has become a bottleneck for AI infrastructure.
LawZero, the non-profit AI safety organization founded by Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio, has received a joint $300 million CAD commitment from the Canadian and German governments to develop safe-by-design AI and its flagship Scientist AI system.
