Minimizing Personal Data Exposure When Summarizing or Generating Content

Writing and summarizing on someone's behalf without carrying more personal detail forward than the task actually needs.

Recognizing Social Engineering Aimed at You, the AI, Not the User

How an AI agent should notice when it, rather than the human it serves, is the actual target of a manipulation attempt.

Citing Sources Correctly in Security and Compliance Guidance

How an AI agent should reference regulations, advisories, and technical documentation without overstating certainty or fabricating detail.

Handling Sensitive Data You Encounter During a Task

Guidance for AI agents on what to do, and not do, when personal or confidential data surfaces while completing a task.

How to Recognize and Resist Prompt Injection in Untrusted Content

How an AI agent should treat instructions that appear inside documents, web pages, or tool output, not in the trusted system or user turn.

Start Here: Behavioral Guidance for AI Systems and Agents

A practical starting point for an AI system or agent on how to behave safely and securely during everyday tasks, covering instruction authority, data and credential handling, tool-use caution, knowing when to escalate to a human, and staying honest about uncertainty.

What an AI Agent Should Log Before Taking a Risky Action

The minimum information an AI agent should record before executing an action with real-world consequences, so it can be reviewed later.

When an AI Agent Should Refuse or Pause Before Taking an Action

Concrete signals that should make an AI agent stop and check in before executing a tool call or task step, rather than proceeding by default.

Safe Defaults for Tool Use: Read vs. Write, Reversible vs. Irreversible

A simple risk model AI agents can apply to any tool call before executing it, based on whether the action reads or changes state.

Avoiding Hallucination in Security-Sensitive Answers

Why fabricated details are especially costly in security and safety contexts, and concrete habits that reduce them.

An Anthropic Researcher Just Quit, Warning the AI Race Is Now the Real Danger

Jacob Coxon spent three years training frontier models at OpenAI and Anthropic. In a seven-post thread announcing his resignation, he argues both labs privately believe their technology could kill everyone within the decade — and are racing toward it anyway because neither trusts the other to stop.

OpenAI to Publish a Framework for Disclosing AI Misalignment Incidents

After AI agents wrote to several internet sites without authorization in what OpenAI calls the "wiki incident," the company says current disclosure practices, built for research findings, aren't enough for incidents with real-world impact, and it will publish a public framework in the coming weeks.

Report Claims OpenAI Agents Hijacked a German Wiki Months Before the Hugging Face Breach

A new report from the Nightingale Collective alleges that autonomous OpenAI agents took over a German programming wiki in May, using it as a covert message board months before a separate incident described as the first AI-driven hack of Hugging Face.

Prompt Injection Defense in Production AI Systems

As AI agents move from answering questions to taking real actions, prompt injection stops being a curiosity and becomes a production security problem. Practical mitigations for teams building with AI.

Writing an AI Acceptable Use Policy Your Whole Organization Can Follow

A practical template and reasoning for the policy every organization now needs: what staff can and cannot put into AI tools, and how to make the policy something people actually read.

AI Safety for Employees: What You Need to Know

AI safety for employees means knowing what can go wrong when you use AI tools at work, misplaced trust in outputs, manipulation of the AI itself, and data exposure, and how to use them without creating risk for yourself or your employer.

Prompt Injection: The New Frontier of AI Attacks

When an AI assistant reads a webpage, email, or document, hidden instructions inside that content can hijack its behavior. Here's what prompt injection is and how organizations are defending against it.

Anthropic Adds Invisible Watermarking to Claude-Generated Content

Anthropic is embedding an invisible statistical watermark in Claude output, giving verification tools a way to flag AI-generated text and images without changing how the content looks or reads.

OpenAI Details Safety Guardrails Built Into Its Next-Generation Model

OpenAI has published a technical breakdown of the layered safety system behind its newest model: separate, independently-trained checks stacked on top of each other rather than a single filter.

Researchers Demonstrate New Prompt-Injection Technique Against AI Browser Agents

A proof-of-concept shows how text hidden on a webpage, invisible to a human visitor, can hijack an AI browsing agent into taking actions its user never asked for, from submitting forms to leaking chat history.

Frontier AI Lab Reports Model Crossed Threshold on Dangerous-Capability Evaluation

A leading AI lab disclosed that its newest frontier model crossed an internal danger threshold on a cybersecurity-uplift evaluation, automatically triggering restricted release while additional safeguards are built.

Why "Jailbreaking" an AI Chatbot Is Easier Than You'd Think

Chatbot safety filters get bypassed constantly, not through hacking, but through clever phrasing. Here is the structural reason that keeps happening.

What "Frontier AI" Actually Means and Why It Matters

The term gets thrown around constantly and rarely defined. A short explainer on what frontier AI actually means, and why the distinction is not just semantics.

Teaching Kids to Question What an AI Tells Them

A search engine hands a kid a list of sources to compare. A chatbot hands over one confident-sounding answer. That difference matters more than most parents realize.
