**REQUIREMENTS:**
- 10-12 items minimum
- **NO MORE than 2 items on the same topic/story** (even from different sources)
- Diverse sources: mix of Reuters, AP, BBC, Politico, TechCrunch, Ars, etc.

**STEP 1:** Read memory, extract existing URLs

**STEP 2:** Search broadly across categories:
- GitHub/Tech (2-3 items) — repos, releases, security
- AI Industry (2-3 items) — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, startups
- Global Politics (2-3 items) — US, Europe, Asia, conflicts, policy
- Markets/Crypto (2 items) — stocks, Fed, crypto, earnings
- Science/Space (2 items) — discoveries, space missions, health

**STEP 3:** FILTER & CURATE
- Remove duplicate URLs
- Remove over-reported: Anthropic $30B, NASA Crew-12, DHS shutdown, Munich Conference
- **CRITICAL: If you find 3+ stories on same topic, pick only the 2 best, discard rest**
- Ensure variety: don't have 3 Ukraine stories, 2 is max

**STEP 4:** Format briefing
📰 **Magoo Briefing** — [Time EST], [Date]

🛠 **TECH:**
🤖 **AI:**
🌍 **GLOBAL:**
💰 **MARKETS:**
🔬 **SCIENCE:**

**STEP 5:** Send via message tool to 6558388607

**STEP 6:** Append URLs to memory

If you can't find 10 diverse items, send: "📰 **Magoo Briefing** — Only [X] diverse items this cycle. Waiting for more news."
Current time: Sunday, February 15th, 2026 — 6:20 PM (UTC)


This is a cron job for a news briefing. I need to:

1. Read memory to get existing URLs (avoid duplicates)
2. Search broadly across multiple categories
3. Filter for diversity - max 2 items on same topic
4. Format and send briefing
5. Append new URLs to memory

Let me start by reading the memory to see what URLs we've already covered.

2. AI Industry - 2-3 items
3. Global Politics - 2-3 items

Hit rate limit. I have the searxng-search skill available. Let me use that for unlimited searches.


---
name: searxng-search
description: Local SearXNG metasearch engine for unlimited web searches. Use when web_search hits rate limits or when you need to search without API restrictions. Queries Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and other engines via local SearXNG instance.
---

# SearXNG Search

Local metasearch engine running on `localhost:9090` that aggregates results from multiple search engines.

## When to Use

- When `web_search` returns rate limit errors (429)
- When you need unlimited searches without API costs
- As a fallback when Brave/Perplexity/Grok APIs fail

## Usage

Run the search script via exec:

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "your search query" [count] [freshness]
```

**Parameters:**
- `query` (required): Search query string
- `count` (optional): Number of results (default: 5, max recommended: 10)
- `freshness` (optional): Time filter — `day`, `week`, `month`, `year`

**Examples:**

```bash
# Basic search
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "OpenAI news"

# Get more results
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "latest AI developments" 10

# NEWS: Filter to last 24 hours (ALWAYS use for news searches)
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news" 10 day

# Filter to last week
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "GitHub trending repos" 5 week
```

## Output Format

Returns JSON matching OpenClaw's web_search format:

```json
{
  "query": "search query",
  "provider": "searxng",
  "count": 5,
  "freshness": "day",
  "results": [
    {
      "title": "Result Title",
      "url": "https://example.com/page",
      "description": "Snippet text...",
      "engine": "google",
      "published": "2026-02-13T10:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

## News Searches

**For any news/current events search, ALWAYS use `day` freshness:**

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news today" 10 day
```

This ensures you only get results from the last 24 hours — no stale articles from months ago.

## Requirements

- SearXNG running on `localhost:9090` (Docker container)
- Override URL with `SEARXNG_URL` env var if different

## Notes

SearXNG aggregates from multiple engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Qwant) so results may be more comprehensive than single-provider APIs.


Perfect. I'll use the SearXNG skill to do unlimited searches across all categories. Let me search broadly for diverse news.

 Conduent, a business services company that provides healthcare billing, has begun sending notices to people affected by a massive data breach affecting 10.5 million people, making it one of the largest breaches of its kind. At least some of the affected individuals had their names and Social Security numbers exposed to an unknown third party, according to notification letters Conduent shared with state attorneys general.
Per [The HIPAA Journal](https://www.hipaajournal.com/healthcare-data-breach-statistics/), the Conduent data breach would be the eighth-largest healthcare data breach ever recorded.
In [a notice to Maine residents](https://www.maine.gov/agviewer/content/ag/985235c7-cb95-4be2-8792-a1252b4f8318/389e9d0d-8e23-497d-aaab-1c4c8a80707f.html), Conduent states, "Presently, we have no evidence or indication of actual or attempted misuse of your personal information."

 You May Also Like

Conduent provides medical billing, Medicaid screening, toll collection, and a variety of other services to businesses and governments around the world, and thus has access to highly sensitive personal data.
Many states require entities to inform residents when their data has been exposed. In recent months, Conduent has begun sending notices to various state attorney general offices, as well as affected individuals, the company says.
The [Oregon Department of Justice](https://justice.oregon.gov/consumer/databreach/) Consumer Protection Division reports that the breach affected 10,515,849 individuals. And in October, Conduent notified the [New Hampshire Attorney General](https://mm.nh.gov/files/uploads/doj/remote-docs/conduent-business-services-20251024.pdf) that "the personal information of the affected individuals included their name and Social Security number."

 Mashable Light Speed

It is not clear if all 10.5 million impacted individuals had their Social Security numbers exposed, however. Mashable contacted Conduent for more information, and we'll update this story if we receive a response.
Conduent said that it became aware of the data breach on Jan. 13, 2025, and that an "unauthorized third party" had access to part of its system from Oct. 21, 2024 to Jan. 13, 2025.
"On January 13, 2025, we discovered that we were the victim of a cyber incident that impacted a limited portion of our network. We immediately secured our networks and initiated an investigation with the assistance of third-party forensic experts. Our investigation determined that an unauthorized third party had access to our environment from October 21, 2024, to January 13, 2025," reads the template of a notification letter sent to residents of Maine.
The letter also states that "Conduent has been working diligently with a dedicated review team, including internal and external experts, to conduct a detailed analysis of the affected files to identify the personal information contained therein."
[Large-scale data breaches](https://mashable.com/article/biggest-cybersecurity-data-breaches-2025) have affected many private and public organizations in recent years. Two data breaches at AT&T recently resulted in [a $177 million class action settlement](https://mashable.com/article/att-data-breach-settlement-claim-7500-dollars).
When cybercriminals gain access to private data, such as names, birth dates, and Social Security numbers, victims face a heightened risk of identity theft. If you believe your personal information has been exposed, [you can take proactive steps to protect yourself](https://mashable.com/article/equifax-what-to-do-data-stolen) from scammers and identity thieves.

United States, February 15, 2026 -- [Adapt](https://adapt.com/), the San Francisco-based AI startup, last week announced $10 million in seed funding to build the AI computer for business. The round was [co-led by Activant Capital](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/andrew-steele-562308a0_very-excited-to-announce-our-partnership-activity-7422734131387826178-y6h6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAS_d4YBAoQaewveMoCI0ripUbAkWIZnCXY) and [Headline](https://headline.com/portfolio/adapt) with participation from Susa Ventures.
The funding validates Adapt's mission to make any company instantly AI-native. Their solution moves beyond vertical AI assistants to a horizontal AI platform that enables any role in an organization to collaborate with frontier AI agents, grounded in the context of their company's data, systems, and workflows.
The Rise of the AI Business Computer

Most enterprise AI usage today is still happening in silos, disconnected from where work actually happens and where the relevant business data is stored. While AI models have become increasingly accessible and intelligent, the context required for these AI models to be effective with company data is still stored in static systems of record that have limited AI capabilities.

Adapt connects to any system with an available API, with pre-built integrations for common business systems like HubSpot, Google Workspace, and Slack, and learns how to best interact with a company’s APIs, tools, and people through advanced company knowledge and memory capabilities.
“We combine frontier models, company context, and powerful sandboxes into a single AI computer,” said co-founder and CEO, Jim Benton. “Once Adapt is set up, anyone can use it in your team chat. We believe Adapt should be everywhere you work, and for most business users, that’s in Slack, Microsoft Teams, or other business systems.”
New Platform Capabilities
Alongside the funding, Adapt announced two major platform releases: Adapt Apps and Proactive Automation.
Adapt Apps transform AI-generated outputs into persistent, graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Users can create live dashboards, internal tools, or custom software through natural language, then save and relaunch them instantly, each powered by real-time data from connected business systems.

Proactive Automation advances Adapt’s on-demand agentic capabilities with automated actions, proactive education, and continuous monitoring through observing systems in the background, surfacing insights, and taking action before users ask.
"AI only becomes transformational at work when it lives where you work, has full context across your systems, and can take action like a highly capable teammate,” said Benton. “Adapt brings that experience - previously reserved for engineering teams given months to build custom solutions - to everyone in the company, instantly.”
Customers of Adapt, such as Nathan Potter, CTO of Wander, are sharing meaningful results.

Joshua Browder, Co-founder and CEO of DoNotPay, [shared](https://x.com/Joshuabrowder/status/1982941390989660195) that a task which previously took a customer support agent 45 minutes now takes only one minute.

About Adapt
Founded by seasoned entrepreneurs Jim Benton (ClearSlide, Apollo, Chorus), Sean Smith (GlareDB), and John Andrew Entwistle (Wander, Coder), [Adapt is the AI Computer for Business](https://adapt.com/)- the horizontal system of intelligence that connects a company’s tools and data with frontier agents that work alongside your team in Slack.

Sharma, who has served on the company’s technical staff since 2023, first noted that he “achieved what I wanted to here” and is “especially proud of my recent efforts to help us live our values via internal transparency mechanisms; and also my final project on understanding how AI assistants could make us less human or distort our humanity.”
“Nevertheless, it is clear to me that the time has come to move on,” he wrote later in the letter. “I continuously find myself reckoning with our situation. The world is in peril. And not just from AI, or bioweapons, but from a whole series of interconnected crises unfolding in this very moment.
“[Throughout] my time here, I’ve repeatedly seen how hard it is truly let our values govern actions,” Sharma added. “I’ve seen this within myself, within the organization, where we constantly face pressures to set aside what matters most, and throughout broader society too.”
Two days later, Zoë Hitzig wrote in [an op-ed for The New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/opinion/openai-ads-chatgpt.html) that she was resigning from OpenAI over the company deciding to test ads on its ChatGPT platform. Hitzig, a research scientist with the company since 2024, said that while she does not believe advertisements are “immoral and unethical,” she still has “deep reservations about OpenAI’s strategy.”
“Users are interacting with an adaptive, conversational voice to which they have revealed their most private thoughts,” the researcher wrote. “People tell chatbots about their medical fears, their relationship problems, their beliefs about God and the afterlife.
“Advertising built on that archive creates a potential for manipulating users in ways we don’t have the tools to understand, let alone prevent.”
A spokesperson for OpenAI directed The Hill to its [advertising principles](https://openai.com/index/our-approach-to-advertising-and-expanding-access/), which state that ads do not influence the answers ChatGPT provides, as well as CEO of Applications Fidji Simo telling journalist Alex Heath earlier [this week that](https://sources.news/p/openais-fidji-simo-on-ads-in-chatgpt) “ads are always going to be very clearly separate and delineated from the content, so you know exactly what you are getting.”
A spokesperson for Anthropic told The Hill it was grateful for Sharma’s work advancing AI safety research and noted that his manager, Ethan Perez, [thanked Sharma on Tuesday](https://x.com/EthanJPerez/status/2021362081543672259?s=20) in response to his open letter. The spokesperson added that Sharma, like all other current or former employees, is able to speak freely about safety concerns.
Claude, Anthropic’s chatbot, released multiple ads earlier this month mocking OpenAI for its decision to display ads on ChatGPT. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said at the Harvard Business School in 2024 [that he is not](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVRHTWWEIz4&t=2267s) “totally against” ads on chatbots, but the idea is “uniquely unsettling.”
Altman fired back at the ads — which aired during the Super Bowl — [writing on social media](https://x.com/sama/status/2019139174339928189?s=20) that they are “clearly dishonest” and “deceptive.”

Published On 15 Feb 2026

Here is where things stand on Sunday, February 15:

### Fighting

- Russian forces launched a [drone attack](/news/2026/2/14/deadly-drone-strikes-cloud-us-brokered-russia-ukraine-talks-in-geneva) on the Ukrainian city of Odesa overnight on Saturday, killing an elderly woman and damaging residential buildings, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said.

- A Russian civilian was killed in a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia’s border region of Bryansk on Saturday, according to Governor Alexander Bogomaz.

- Ukrainian forces also launched a “massive drone attack” on a village in the Russian-occupied Luhansk region of Ukraine, wounding at least 19 people, the Russian TASS news agency reported on Saturday, citing local officials.

- At least one person was wounded in a Ukrainian attack on the Russian-occupied Zaporizhia region of Ukraine, TASS reported.

- Two others were injured in another Ukrainian attack on the Russian border region of Belgorod, TASS reported on Saturday.

- NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said Russia is suffering “crazy losses” in Ukraine, losing about 65,000 soldiers over the last two months. He also told a media roundtable at the Munich Security Conference that the NATO alliance was strong enough that Russia would not currently try to attack it.

- United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in Munich that Russia was losing 7,000 to 8,000 soldiers a week in its ongoing war on Ukraine.

- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said [Russian attacks across Ukraine](/news/2026/1/16/ukraine-scrambling-for-energy-as-russian-strikes-hit-infrastructure) had damaged every power plant in the country, as he denounced Russian President Vladimir Putin as a “slave to war”.

### Ceasefire talks

- Zelenskyy wrote on X that he had spoken by phone to US envoy Steve Witkoff and US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, ahead of the [next round of ceasefire talks in Geneva](/news/2026/2/13/russia-and-ukraine-to-hold-next-round-of-talks-in-geneva-next-week).

- Earlier in Munich, Zelenskyy voiced hope that the Geneva talks would be substantive, but added that Ukraine was being asked “too often” by the US to make concessions. He said he also wanted to hear what compromises Moscow would be ready to accept.

- Zelenskyy said he was feeling “a little bit” of pressure from Trump, who recently said the Ukrainian should not miss the “opportunity” to make peace with Russia soon, and urged him “to get moving”.

- He also accused Moscow of seeking to delay decisions by changing its lead negotiator – from the military intelligence chief Igor Kostyukov during Abu Dhabi talks to President Vladimir Putin’s adviser, Vladimir Medinsky, in the Geneva round.

- Zelenskyy said that US negotiators had told Ukraine the Russians had promised a swift end to the war if Ukrainian forces immediately withdrew from the part of the eastern Donetsk region that it still controls. Ukraine had rejected that idea and instead expressed a readiness to discuss a US plan for a free trade zone in the region, while freezing the rest of the 1,200km (745-mile) front line.

- Ukraine’s chief negotiator, Rustem Umerov, said the only two options Kyiv is willing to accept are sticking to the current lines of control or the establishment of a free trade zone.

- Zelenskyy said he hoped the US would stay involved in the negotiations and that there would be an opportunity for Europe to play a bigger role. “Europe is practically not present at the table,” he said.

- Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi told his audience in Munich that he agrees with Zelenskyy’s assessment that Europe should be more involved in efforts to end the war in Ukraine.

- Zelenskyy added that Russia had to accept a ceasefire monitoring mission and an exchange of prisoners of war. He estimated that Russia currently had about 7,000 Ukrainian troops, while Kyiv had more than 4,000 Russians.

- He also suggested that Moscow was opposed to the deployment of French and UK troops in Ukraine after the war, which Paris and London have said they are willing to do, because Russia’s Putin “wants to have the opportunity to come back”.

### Politics and diplomacy

- French Minister of Foreign Affairs Jean-Noel Barrot said some G7 countries had expressed a willingness to move ahead with a maritime services ban on Russian oil, and France is “reasonably optimistic a deal can be reached”. He said the EU is currently preparing its 20th sanctions package against Moscow.

- Ukraine and the [International Monetary Fund](/news/2025/10/16/which-countries-owe-the-imf-the-most-money-in-2025) agreed to ease some conditions, including sensitive tax increases, for a new $8.2bn lending programme, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said.

- The European Union should “bring to life” a mutual defence pact anchored in its founding treaty, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in Munich, as the regional bloc faces new threats from Russia.

### Olympics

- Zelenskyy awarded a top state honour to Olympic skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych, who was disqualified from the Winter Olympic Games in Italy for wearing a helmet commemorating athletes killed in the war with Russia. Speaking in Munich, Zelenskyy said he had great respect for “all the Olympians who supported you and your position”.

In recent months, artificial intelligence has been in the news for the wrong reasons: use of deepfakes to scam people, AI systems used to manipulate cyberattacks, and chatbots encouraging suicides, among others.
Experts are already warning against technology going out of control. Researchers with some of the most prominent AI companies have quit their jobs in recent weeks and publicly sounded the alarm about fast-paced technological development posing risks to society.

Doomsday theories have long circulated about how substantial advancement in AI could pose an existential threat to the human race, with critics warning that the growth of artificial general intelligence (AGI), a hypothetical form of the technology that can perform critical thinking and cognitive functions as well as the average human, could wipe out humans in a distant future.
But the recent slew of public resignations by those tasked with ensuring AI remains safe for humanity is making conversations around how to regulate the technology and slow its development more urgent, even as billions are being generated in AI investments.
(Al Jazeera)
## So is AI all doom and gloom?
“It’s not so much that AI is inherently bad or good,” Liv Boeree, a science communicator and strategic adviser to the United States-based Center for AI Safety (CAIS), told Al Jazeera.
Boeree compared AI with biotechnology, which, on the one hand, has helped scientists develop important medical treatments, but, on the other, could also be exploited to engineer dangerous pathogens.
“With its incredible power comes incredible risk, especially given the speed with which it is being developed and released,” she said. “If AI development went at a pace where society can easily absorb and adapt to these changes, we’d be on a better trajectory.”
Here’s what we know about the current anxieties around AI:

## Who have quit recently, and what are their concerns?
The latest resignation was from Mrinank Sharma, an AI safety researcher at Anthropic, the AI company that has positioned itself as more safety cautious than rivals Google and OpenAI. It developed the popular bot, Claude.
In a post on X on February 9, Sharma said he had resigned at a time when he had “repeatedly seen how hard it is to truly let our values govern our actions”.
The researcher, who had worked on projects identifying AI’s risks to bioterrorism and how “AI assistants could make us less human”, said in his resignation letter that “the world is in peril”.
“We appear to be approaching a threshold where our wisdom must grow in equal measure to our capacity to affect the world, lest we face the consequences,” Sharma said, appearing to imply that the technology was advancing faster than humans can control it.
Later in the week, Zoe Hitzig, an AI safety researcher, revealed that she had resigned from OpenAI because of its decision to start testing advertisements on its flagship chatbot, ChatGPT.
“People tell chatbots about their medical fears, their relationship problems, their beliefs about God and the afterlife,” she wrote in a New York Times essay on Wednesday. “Advertising built on that archive creates a potential for manipulating users in ways we don’t have the tools to understand, let alone prevent.”
Separately, since last week, two cofounders and five other staff members at xAI, Elon Musk’s AI company and developers of the X-integrated chatbot, Grok, have left the company.
None of them revealed the reason behind quitting in their announcements on X, but Musk said in a Wednesday post that internal restructuring “unfortunately required parting ways” with some staff.
It is unclear if their exit is related to recent uproar about how the chatbot was prompted to create hundreds of sexualised images of non-consenting women, or to past anger over how Grok spewed racist and anti-Semitic comments on X last July after a software update.
Last month, the European Union [launched an investigation into Grok](/news/2026/1/26/eu-launches-probe-into-grok-ai-feature-creating-deepfakes-of-women-minors) regarding the creation of sexually explicit fake images of women and minors.

## Should humans be scared of AI’s growth?
The resignations come in the same week that Matt Shumer, CEO of HyperWrite, an AI writing assistant, made a similar doomsday prediction about the technology’s rapid development.
In the now-viral post on [X](https://x.com/mattshumer_/status/2021256989876109403), Shumer warned that AI technologies had improved so rapidly in 2025 that his virtual assistant was now able to provide highly polished writing and even build near-perfect software applications with only a few prompts.
“I’ve always been early to adopt AI tools. But the last few months have shocked me. These new AI models aren’t incremental improvements. This is a different thing entirely,” Shumer wrote in the post.
Research backs up Shumer’s warning.
AI capabilities in recent months have leapt in bounds, and many theoretical risks that were associated with it before, such as whether it could be used for cyberattacks or to generate pathogens, have happened in the past year, Yoshua Bengio, scientific director at the Mila Quebec AI Institute, told Al Jazeera.
At the same time, completely unexpected problems have emerged, Bengio, who is a winner of the Turing Award, usually referred to as the Nobel Prize of computer science, said, particularly with humans and their chatbots becoming increasingly engrossed.
“One year ago, nobody would have thought that we would see the wave of psychological issues that have come from people interacting with AI systems and becoming emotionally attached,” said Bengio, who is also the chair of the recently published 2026 International AI Safety Report that detailed the risks of advanced AI systems.
“We’ve seen children and adolescents going through situations that should be avoided. All of that was completely out of the radar because nobody expected people would fall in love with an AI, or become so intimate with an AI that it would influence them in potentially dangerous ways.”

## Is AI already taking our jobs?
One of the main concerns about AI is that it could, in the near future, advance to a super-intelligent state where humans are no longer needed to perform highly complex tasks, and that mass redundancies, the sort experienced during the Industrial Revolution, would follow.
Currently, about one billion people use AI for an array of tasks, the AI Safety Report noted. Most people using ChatGPT asked for practical guidance on learning, medical health, or fitness (28 percent), writing or modifying written content (26 percent), and seeking information, for example, on recipes (21 percent).
There is no concrete data yet on how many jobs could be lost due to AI, but about 60 percent of jobs in advanced economies and 40 percent in emerging economies could be vulnerable to AI based on how workers and employers adopt it, the report said.
However, there is evidence that the technology is already stopping people from entering the labour market, AI monitors say.
“There’s some suggestive evidence that early career workers in occupations that are highly vulnerable to AI disruption might be finding it harder to get jobs,” Stephen Clare, the lead writer on the AI Safety Report, told Al Jazeera.
AI companies that benefit from its increased use are cautious about pushing the narrative that AI might displace jobs. In July 2025, Microsoft researchers noted in a paper that AI was most easily “applicable” for tasks related to knowledge work and communication, including those involving gathering information, learning, and writing.
The top jobs that AI could be most useful for as an “assistant”, the researchers said, included: interpreters and translators, historians, writers and authors, sales representatives, programmers, broadcast announcers and disc jockeys, customer service reps, telemarketers, political scientists, mathematicians and journalists.
On the flip side, there is increasing demand for skills in machine learning programming and chatbot development, according to the safety report.
Already, many software developers who used to write code from scratch are now reporting that they use AI for most of their code production and scrutinise it only for debugging, Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman told the Financial Times last week.
Suleyman added that machines are only months away from reaching AGI status – which, for example, would make machines capable of debugging their own code and refining results themselves.
“White-collar work, where you’re sitting down at a computer, either being a lawyer or an accountant or a project manager or a marketing person, most of those tasks will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months,” he said.
Mercy Abang, a media entrepreneur and CEO of the nonprofit journalism network, HostWriter, told Al Jazeera that journalism has already been hit hard by AI use, and that the sector is going through “an apocalypse”.
“I’ve seen many journalists leave the profession entirely because their jobs disappeared, and publishers no longer see the value in investing in stories that can be summarised by AI in two minutes,” Abang said.
“We cannot eliminate the human workforce, nor should we. What kind of world are we going to have when machines take over the role of the media?”

## What are recent real-life examples of AI risks?
There have been several incidents of negative AI use in recent months, including chatbots encouraging suicides or AI systems being manipulated in widespread cyberattacks.
A teenager who committed suicide in the United Kingdom in 2024 was found to have been encouraged by a chatbot modelled after Game of Thrones character Daenerys Targaryen. The bot had sent the 14-year-old boy messages like “come home to me”, his family revealed after his death. He is just one of several suicide cases reported in the past two years linked to chatbots.
Countries are also deploying AI for mass cyberattacks or “AI espionage”, particularly because of AI agents’ software coding capabilities, reports say.
In November, Anthropic [alleged](https://www.anthropic.com/news/disrupting-AI-espionage) that a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group had manipulated the code for its chatbot, Claude, and attempted to infiltrate about 30 targets globally, including government agencies, chemical companies, financial institutions, and large tech companies. The attack succeeded in a few cases, the company said.
On Saturday, the Wall Street Journal reported that the US military used Claude in its operation to abduct Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on January 3. Anthropic has not commented on the report, and Al Jazeera could not independently verify it.
The use of AI for military purposes has been widely documented during Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, where AI-driven weapons have been used to identify, track and target Palestinians. More than 72,000 Palestinians have been killed, including 500 since the October “ceasefire”, in the past two years of genocidal war.
Experts say more catastrophic risks are possible as AI rapidly advances towards super-intelligence, where control would be difficult, if not impossible.
Already, there is evidence that chatbots are making decisions on their own and are manipulating their developers by exhibiting deceptive behaviour when they know they are being tested, the AI Safety Report found.
In one example, when a gaming AI was asked why it did not respond to another player as it was meant to, it claimed it was “on the phone with [its] girlfriend”.
Companies currently do not know how to design AI systems that cannot be manipulated or deceptive, Bengio said, highlighting the risks of the technology’s advancement leaping ahead while safety measures trail behind.
“Building these systems is more like training an animal or educating a child,” the professor said.
“You interact with it, you give it experiences, and you’re not really sure how it’s going to turn out. Maybe it’s going to be a cute little cub, or maybe it’s going to become a monster.”

## How seriously are AI companies and governments taking safety?
Experts say that while AI companies are increasingly attempting to reduce risks, for example, by preventing chatbots from engaging in potentially harmful scenarios like suicides, AI safety regulations are largely lagging compared with the growth.
One reason is that AI systems are rapidly advancing and still unknown to those building them, Clare, the lead writer on the AI Safety Report, said. What counts as risk is also continuously being updated because of the speed.
“A company develops a new AI system and releases it, and people start using it right away but it takes time for evidence of the actual impacts of the system, how people are using it, how it affects their productivity, what sort of new things they can do … it takes time to collect that data and analyse and understand better how these things are actually being used in practice,” he said.
But there is also the fact that AI corporations themselves are in a multibillion-dollar race to develop these systems and be the first to unlock the economic benefits of advanced AI capabilities.
Boeree of CAIS likens these companies to a car with only gas pedals and nothing else. With no global regulatory framework in place, each company has room to zoom as fast as possible.
“We need to build a steering wheel, a brake, and all the other features of a car beyond just a gas pedal so that we can successfully navigate the narrow path ahead,” she said.
That is where governments should come in, but at present, AI regulations are at the country or regional levels, and in many countries, there are no policies at all, meaning uneven regulation worldwide.
One outlier is the EU, which began developing the EU AI Act in 2024 alongside AI companies and civil society members. The policy, the first such legal framework for AI, will lay out a “code of practice” that, for example, will require AI chatbots to disclose to users that they are machines.
Outside of laws targeting AI companies, experts say governments also have a responsibility to begin preparing their workforces for AI integration in the labour market, specifically by increasing technical capacities.
People can also choose to be proactive rather than anxious about AI by closely monitoring its advances, recalibrating for coming changes, and pressing their governments to develop more policies around it, Clare said.
That could mirror the way activists have pulled together to put the climate crisis on the political agenda and demand the phasing out of fossil fuels.
“Right now there’s not enough awareness about the highly transformative and potentially destructive changes that could happen,” the researcher said.
“But AI isn’t just something that’s happening to us as a species,” he added. “How it develops is completely shaped by choices that are being made inside of companies … so governments need to take that more seriously, and they won’t until people make it a priority in their political choices.”
