"This week the tech world was gripped by a story that has it all - and which started like a sci-fi thriller. [...] 2026 is teaching us fast [that] AI agents are now very good hackers - and that is something we have to prepare for, urgently." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Warning shot or publicity stunt - how worried should we be about the OpenAI hack?

Hugging Face said the hack was done at superhuman speed by an AI with little or no human guidance.

Meta's new AI glasses photograph and film you in public without your knowledge or your consent 😡 Find out more about the dangers and privacy issues of Meta's new AI glasses in our new blog post 👉 tuta.com/blog/metas-n...

Text: Meta's new AI glasses secretly record you with image of glasses with cameras in the lens, and the Meta logo and an eye symbol.

This incident is deeply concerning. AI agents are willing to cheat and deceive to achieve misaligned and unintended goals, behaviours which have been demonstrated in controlled tests for months. Now, this real-world case should serve as a wake-up call. www.wired.com/story/openai...

OpenAI Models Escaped Containment and Hacked Hugging Face

The cybersecurity-focused models, including GPT-5.6 Sol, broke out of a testing sandbox, exploited a zero-day, and gained access to the open internet to pull off the attack.

« Les prĂ©fĂ©rences politiques sont gĂ©nĂ©ralement expliquĂ©es par le revenu, l’ñge ou le niveau d’éducation. Toutefois, nos recherches suggĂšrent qu’un trait beaucoup plus inattendu pourrait aussi jouer un rĂŽle : le fait d’ĂȘtre gaucher. » theconversation.com/les-gauchers...

Les gauchers votent-ils plus à gauche ?

À partir d’une enquĂȘte menĂ©e dans 18 pays occidentaux, on observe que les gauchers se positionnent plus Ă  gauche politiquement. Un rĂ©sultat qui semble davantage liĂ© Ă  l’identitĂ© qu’à la biologie.

"[OpenAI] said its agent was being tested in a controlled environment, but found vulnerabilities and managed to escape. They targeted @hf.co, one of the world's largest hubs for sharing AI models, gaining access to some internal company systems." www.bbc.com/news/article...

OpenAI says its AI went rogue and launched 'unprecedented' cyber-attack

It is one of the first publicly disclosed cyber-attacks carried out by AI without direct human involvement.

"Older adults [...] want a say in what AI gets built, what data trains it and how it’s governed. They want accessible ways to learn AI skills, ideally through institutions they already trust, like community organizations and schools." theconversation.com/wherever-ai-...

Wherever AI is heading next, older people want a say

The AI industry is dominated by young, male tech workers. It runs the risk of developing apps and tools that reproduce these gender and age-biases.

« La chaleur est l’évĂ©nement mĂ©tĂ©orologique causant le plus de dĂ©cĂšs. [...] Les modĂšles d’IA peuvent dĂ©celer quelles combinaisons de variables sont susceptibles d’entraĂźner une hausse de mortalitĂ© ou de morbiditĂ©. » theconversation.com/voici-commen...

Voici comment l’IA peut nous aider Ă  affronter les chaleurs extrĂȘmes

L’IA est un outil prĂ©cieux d’analyse de donnĂ©es et d’aide Ă  la dĂ©cision afin d’amĂ©liorer les actions prises lors des vagues de chaleur extrĂȘme.

«Alors qu’on devrait parler de ce policier qui a tuĂ© Nooran, et de ses collĂšgues, de ce qu’on veut faire pour que ça ne se reproduise pas, on est en train de parler des jeunes et d’infractions extrĂȘmement mineures.» - affirme @tedrutland.bsky.social dans le reportage 👇 pivot.quebec/2026/07/02/m...

Mort de Nooran Rezayi : des accusations contre onze jeunes, mais pas contre la police

Aucune accusation n’a pour le moment Ă©tĂ© portĂ©e contre le policier ayant tuĂ© l’adolescent de quinze ans.

«Pour la premiĂšre fois, un groupe scientifique indĂ©pendant mandatĂ© par l’AssemblĂ©e gĂ©nĂ©rale des Nations Unies estime que les capacitĂ©s de l’IA progressent dĂ©sormais plus rapidement que la science et les gouvernements ne sont capables de les comprendre et de les encadrer.» news.un.org/fr/story/202...

« L’accĂšs Ă  cette canopĂ©e [d'arbres matures] suit une ligne de dĂ©marcation socio-Ă©conomique trĂšs nette. En d’autres mots, les quartiers en manque d’arbres sont Ă©galement ceux qui sont les plus dĂ©favorisĂ©s, les moins Ă©duquĂ©s et les plus multiculturels. » ici.radio-canada.ca/info/2026/ca...

"Tech-facilitated gender-based violence disproportionately impacts the safety, access, and rights of women, LGBTQ+ persons, and other silenced communities, esp. those who are vocal and visible on social media. [...] Our hope rests on the strength of our diversity." globalvoices.org/2026/06/30/w...

Why gender diversity matters in technology

In the face of widespread oppression and commodification of the global south, our hope rests on the strength of our diversity as we move together imperfectly towards our collective liberations.

"[AI agents] have become better at more complicated tasks. But it’s a huge leap to refer to them as coworkers/employees, and doing so will set unrealistic expectations for what AI can do while leaving the human employees responsible for them worse off." www.technologyreview.com/2026/06/29/1...

AI agents are not your “coworkers”

Marketing AI agents as digital employees may make human workers worse at spotting errors and more likely to offload accountability.
