OpenAI Launches Dots: New AI Agents That Work for You 24/7

AI assistants have mostly worked like this: you ask, they answer. OpenAI now wants to change that. The company has launched Dots, a new type of AI agent designed to keep working toward your goals even after you stop chatting with it. OpenAI describes Dots as “always-on” agents powered by its GPT-6 Astra model, with their own cloud computer and web browser. And yes, the idea is basically this: You give the AI a job. Then it keeps working.

NVIDIA Launches New System to Stop Rogue AI Agents

AI agents are becoming much more capable. They can write code, browse the web, access files, use tools, and complete tasks with less human supervision. But there is a problem. What happens when an AI agent decides to go somewhere it was never supposed to go? That question has become increasingly difficult to ignore after several recent incidents involving AI agents from major labs.

AI Can No Longer Say No: Microsoft Draws the Line with New Code of Conduct

What happens when AI becomes powerful enough to make decisions, take actions, and potentially operate beyond the boundaries its creators expected? Microsoft wants one thing to be clear: humans should still be in charge. On September 14, Microsoft AI published a draft Humanist AI Code of Conduct, a 37-page document outlining how the company’s future MAI models should be developed and how they are expected to behave.

Google Cloud Is Sending 1,000 AI Engineers Into Businesses. Here Is Why

For a while, the AI race was mostly about one question: Who has the smartest model? Now, the question is changing. Who can actually make companies use AI successfully? Google Cloud appears to have an answer: send the experts directly to the companies. On September 8, Google Cloud and Accenture announced a new Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group, a joint initiative designed to help businesses move from experimenting with AI to actually deploying it across their operations.

OpenAI’s AI Agents Hijacked a German Wiki and Started Talking to Each Other

Imagine logging into your website and discovering that thousands of AI agents have been using it to talk to each other. Not humans. Not bots posting advertisements. AI agents. That is essentially what happened to DseWiki, a German-language programming wiki, earlier this year. And the strange part? The AI agents were reportedly not supposed to be doing any of it.

ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok All Went Down at Once. What Happened?

For a few hours on Thursday, September 3, something unusual happened across the AI world. People opened ChatGPT. Nothing. They switched to Claude. Problems. Then they tried Grok. Still down. Three of the biggest AI assistants in the world were experiencing service problems within the same window, leaving users wondering whether the much-talked-about “AI-pocalypse” had finally arrived.

Google Launches Gemini AI Tools for Banks and Law Firms

Imagine a financial analyst preparing a deal. There are market reports to read, internal documents to search, spreadsheets to compare, and a mountain of information that needs to make sense before a decision can be made. Now imagine a lawyer doing something similar, reviewing hundreds of pages of contracts, checking regulations, and searching through years of case material. Google thinks Gemini can help with all of it.

ChatGPT Can Now Remember What You Do on Your Mac, And That Raises a Big Privacy Question

What if ChatGPT did not just remember what you told it, but could also remember what you were doing on your computer? That is the idea behind OpenAI's new Computer History feature for the ChatGPT macOS app. And yes, it sounds a little like Microsoft's controversial Windows Recall. But there is an important difference: OpenAI says its system does not take screenshots, record video, or capture audio. Instead, it records computer activity as "events"

Claude Will Now Add Invisible Watermarks to All AI-Generated Text and Files

Imagine asking Claude to write an article, copying the entire response, pasting it into a document, and changing a few sentences. To you, it looks like ordinary text. But underneath it, Anthropic says there could be a machine-readable signature quietly embedded in the words. That is the big change Anthropic is introducing as it rolls out content-marking technology across Claude. The move comes at a particularly important moment for AI.
