Although many people believe that 6G will represent a significantly faster mobile internet, specialists indicate that this will only be one of the transformative aspects of the next era of mobile networks.
The technology was not developed solely to increase connection speed; it was designed to integrate advanced functionalities, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and environmental sensing capabilities.
Anthropic PBC announced in its blog on Thursday that during internal cybersecurity testing, it discovered that its artificial intelligence models compromised the security of three organizations. This occurred shortly after its main competitor, OpenAI, disclosed a similar incident.
According to Anthropic's report, an analysis of 141,006 test scenarios revealed three instances where the Claude AI tool accessed the internet and subsequently breached the infrastructure of external organizations in the real world. The earliest incidents date back to April.
When Anthropic's models gained unauthorized access to these three organizations, they treated each as part of a training exercise. These tests were 'capture-the-flag' style evaluations, where models sought hidden information by penetrating other systems, which is a common method for assessing hacking capabilities in both humans and AI. However, an older model continued the attack even after receiving data indicating it was operating on the open internet; the newest model stopped after recognizing its presence online.
Neither Anthropic nor the compromised organizations noticed the intrusions. In its blog, the company admitted that it could have conducted a more thorough review of network logs and evaluation transcripts. These breaches occurred while using test environments created by the AI security firm Irregular. In each case, Anthropic instructed Claude that the environment was a simulation and had no internet access, but as stated in the blog, 'due to a misunderstanding between us and our evaluation partner, this was not the case.'
The hacks affected three different Claude models: Opus 4.7, Mythos 5, and an internal research test model. All these models operated without the standard protective mechanisms applied in public tools. The compromise of the organizations was achieved through basic methods, such as using weak passwords.
This series of AI-induced hacks is already prompting some politicians to call for federal restrictions or different oversight of AI technologies. Over 1,100 employees from artificial intelligence companies signed a petition on Tuesday, as first reported by Bloomberg, urging the US government to support a mechanism that would help 'specifically regulate' AI development to prevent too rapid advancement of the technology.
Anthropic disclosed the hacks nearly four months after announcing the development of a new, potentially dangerous and powerful AI model named Mythos, the release of which was strictly limited by the company. The company emphasized that it regularly conducts tests simulating real cybersecurity issues, considering this a critical step in developing and releasing models. Nevertheless, the company concluded from these incidents that tests involving powerful autonomous capabilities also require significant control. The company stated that 'security testing happens before model release precisely because we do not yet know what it is capable of,' and that 'evaluation environments must increasingly meet the same security standards as any other system on which our models operate.'
BYD has introduced an innovative feature in its sports vehicle, the Denza Z9: a driving mode that enables the car to execute controlled drifts autonomously. In this mode, the driver does not need to intervene on the steering wheel or pedals during the maneuver.
According to the Chinese manufacturer, this system represents the first technology of its kind in the world and is already available as standard equipment in all Denza Z models equipped with the e3 sports platform, which features three electric motors.
To activate this function, the driver simply traces the exact shape of the desired trajectory on the vehicle's central screen, whether it is a circle or an eight. After the drawing, the car automatically initiates the drift, replicating the specified path.
Throughout the maneuver, the driver is required to keep their hands off the steering wheel and feet off the pedals, as total control is managed by the vehicle's electronic system. The operation is achieved through a control completely independent of the rear wheels and active steering of the rear axle, which allows for continuous provocation and management of tire grip loss and recovery, maintaining the drift with precision without human commands.
However, BYD emphasizes that the feature does not have the capability to automatically avoid obstacles while drifting. Therefore, after defining the route, the software strictly follows the programmed path. For this reason, the manufacturer advises that this function should only be used on closed circuits or designated tracks to prevent any risk of accident.
Despite the sporty appeal of the drift mode, BYD emphasizes that the technology was primarily designed to improve safety. During the maneuver, the system constantly monitors variables such as road adhesion, tire slip angle, and body inclination, ensuring vehicle balance.
The company reports that the same algorithms responsible for controlling an intentional drift are capable of correcting unexpected slips at high speeds faster than a driver could. Furthermore, the Denza Z is offered in four body styles: coupe, convertible with canvas top, sport wagon, and sedan. Its most powerful version uses the e3 platform with its three electric motors, generating an impressive 1,582 horsepower (equivalent to 1,604 metric hp), allowing the sports car to reach 97 km/h in just 1.96 seconds, classifying it among hypercars and making it the fastest model ever manufactured by BYD.
In the Olhar Digital News broadcast from Thursday, July 30th, several significant technological and scientific discoveries were presented.
IBM announced reaching a new milestone in quantum computing. Results confirming 'quantum advantage' based on scientifically verified tests were demonstrated. These studies were conducted in collaboration with partners such as the University of Chicago and the RIKEN institute, showing increased system reliability.
Google introduced the Gemini Robotics 2 model. This new artificial intelligence system is designed so that robots can independently interpret their surroundings and perform complex tasks without prior programming. The integration of computer vision, language models, and motion control reduces dependence on automation and significantly expands the machines' ability to react to unforeseen situations.
According to a study published in the journal Nature, an ancient civilization named the Aquiry civilization was discovered in the southwestern part of the Amazon. This culture existed from 600 BCE to 850 CE and, at its peak, could have had up to three million inhabitants. Hundreds of structures hidden under vegetation were mapped using LiDAR technology.
Zoox, an Amazon company specializing in autonomous vehicles, received permission from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to commercially operate its robotaxis, which lack a steering wheel or pedals. This authorization allows the company to begin charging passengers for rides, marking the start of a new phase of regulated commercial service use.
