Australian banks warned frontier AI could create larger, faster cyber attacks | Technology News

3 min readApr 30, 2026 10:00 AM IST Australia’s financial system regulator said on Thursday the country’s banks were not keeping pace with AI industry developments, warning frontier AI systems such as Anthropic’s Mythos had the potential to lead to larger and faster cyber attacks. In a letter to banks, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) said most of the ⁠industry’s ​information security practices were struggling to match the rate of change in AI. The regulator said the speed of AI development could pose a growing threat to Australia’s financial services. “It also warns frontier AI models such as Anthropic’s Claude Mythos, which could enhance the discovery of vulnerabilities by bad ​actors, ​are expected to further increase the probability, speed and ⁠scale of cyber attacks,” APRA said in a statement referencing a review that it had conducted. Anthropic did not immediately respond to a ‌Reuters request for comment. Potential risks posed by Mythos, which has high-level coding capabilities, have given it a potentially unprecedented ability to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities, experts have warned. Anthropic has launched …

Microsoft deepens ties with Anthropic, integrates Claude Cowork agentic AI tool with 365 Copilot | Technology News

4 min readNew DelhiMar 10, 2026 11:17 AM IST Microsoft on Monday, March 9, announced that it is integrating Anthropic’s Claude Cowork with its Office 365 software, allowing users to offload work-related tasks to AI agents that can autonomously work across documents, emails, and other office tools. Copilot Cowork will turn user requests into a plan and execute it across their apps and files. Unlike using Cowork directly, Copilot Cowork’s actions will be grounded in users’ work data while operating within Microsoft 365’s security and governance frameworks, Microsoft said. Users will also be able to interrupt Copilot Cowork mid-task to steer its actions and provide additional instructions. Copilot Cowork has currently been released in limited research preview and will be more broadly available as part of Microsoft’s Frontier programme by end of March, 2026. It is one of many upgrades coming to the latest Wave 3 version of Microsoft 365 Copilot. The Windows maker on Monday also announced a new subscription bundle for businesses that combines its Office 365 software with its Copilot AI chatbot …

‘This is much bigger than Covid’: Hyperwrite CEO Matt Schumer warns AI disruption could hit by year end, threaten white-collar jobs | Trending News

‘This is much bigger than Covid’: Hyperwrite CEO Matt Schumer warns AI disruption could hit by year end, threaten white-collar jobs | Trending News

In an essay titled ‘Something Big Is Happening’, Hyperwrite CEO Matt Schumer lays out a blunt, deeply personal take on where artificial intelligence is headed, and why people outside the tech bubble need to start paying attention now. Schumer begins by explaining why he felt compelled to write the piece in the first place. After six years of building an AI startup and investing in the space, he says he’s constantly asked by friends and family to explain what’s really going on. “I’ve spent six years building an AI startup and investing in the space. I live in this world. And I’m writing this for the people in my life who don’t… my family, my friends, the people I care about who keep asking me ‘so what’s the deal with AI?’ and getting an answer that doesn’t do justice to what’s actually happening,” he wrote, adding that the answer he usually gives them is a polite “cocktail-party version”. This time, he decided to skip the simplified version and speak plainly about what he believes is …

Google goes from laggard to leader as it pulls ahead of OpenAI with stellar AI growth | Technology News

Google goes from laggard to leader as it pulls ahead of OpenAI with stellar AI growth | Technology News

Alphabet is taking on OpenAI with a gusto that underscores Wall Street’s perception that the Google parent is the leader in AI, a turn of events from a year ago when investors thought it was badly lagging behind rivals and punished its stock. That showed in the confident tone executives struck on the post-earnings call, the first since Alphabet released the Gemini 3 model. But its shares fell 3% on Wednesday after the company said it would spend up to $185 billion this year, deepening investor scrutiny as the expenditure potentially more than doubles from 2025 and eclipses rivals Microsoft, Meta and Amazon. “We’re quickly getting to north ‍of a ⁠trillion dollars in combined 2026 investment across the mega caps if we consider both capital expenditure and associated resourcing needs,” Bernstein analyst Mark Shmulik said. “For that trillion to pay off suggests the total addressable market for AI-driven products and enhancements needs to be multiples of that very quickly.” For now, the AI spending is reaping returns, and its shares remain more than 80% higher …

‘Godfather of AI’ Yann LeCun calls AGI overrated, says scaling AI won’t work | Technology News

‘Godfather of AI’ Yann LeCun calls AGI overrated, says scaling AI won’t work | Technology News

Professor Yann LeCun, often called one of the ‘godfathers of AI’, believes that artificial general intelligence (AGI) is the most overrated idea in AI. Recently at Davos, AI researchers offered a rather sobering message that should alarm all – the AI systems powering some of today’s biggest breakthroughs are fundamentally flawed. Most importantly, the industry’s rush towards ‘agentic AI’ is a recipe for disaster.  The pioneering computer scientist did not mince words about the limitations of current large language models like ChatGPT and their kind. His key claim challenges the entire pathway of the AI industry.“We’re not going to attain human-level intelligence by simply making these systems bigger or better.” “We’re not going to get to human-level intelligence or superintelligence by scaling up or refining the current paradigm,” LeCun stated. “There is a need for a paradigm change.” His most alarming criticism targets the industry’s ongoing obsession with ‘agentic systems’, the AI assistants designed to take actions and accomplish tasks autonomously. He argues that with this the problem is that these systems are being built …

Microsoft’s new Anthropic partnership brings Claude AI models to Azure

Microsoft’s new Anthropic partnership brings Claude AI models to Azure

Microsoft is announcing a strategic partnership with Anthropic today that will bring the AI startup’s models to Microsoft Foundry for the first time. As part of the deal, Anthropic is also committing to purchasing $30 billion of Azure compute capacity and “to contract additional compute capacity up to one gigawatt.” Microsoft Foundry customers will now be able to access Anthropic’s frontier Claude models including Claude Sonnet 4.5, Claude Opus 4.1, and Claude Haiku 4.5. Despite these models coming to Microsoft’s AI servers, Amazon will still remain Anthropic’s primary cloud provider and training partner. Nvidia and Anthropic are also partnering today as part of this deal, to optimize Anthropic’s models for the best performance on future Nvidia architectures. Anthropic is committing to up to one gigawatt of compute capacity using Nvidia Blackwell and Vera Rubin systems. As part of these partnerships, Nvidia is investing up to $10 billion in Anthropic, with Microsoft also investing $5 billion. Microsoft’s deal with Anthropic comes just weeks after its OpenAI partner completed its for-profit restructuring and struck a new deal …

Anthropic details how it measures Claude’s wokeness

Anthropic details how it measures Claude’s wokeness

Anthropic is detailing its efforts to make its Claude AI chatbot “politically even-handed” — a move that comes just months after President Donald Trump issued a ban on “woke AI.” As outlined in a new blog post, Anthropic says it wants Claude to “treat opposing political viewpoints with equal depth, engagement, and quality of analysis.” In July, Trump signed an executive order that says the government should only procure “unbiased” and “truth-seeking” AI models. Though this order only applies to government agencies, the changes companies make in response will likely trickle down to widely released AI models, since “refining models in a way that consistently and predictably aligns them in certain directions can be an expensive and time-consuming process,” as noted by my colleague Adi Robertson. Last month, OpenAI similarly said it would “clamp down” on bias in ChatGPT. Anthropic doesn’t mention Trump’s order in its press release, but it says it has instructed Claude to adhere to a series of rules — called a system prompt — that direct it to avoid providing “unsolicited …
