A court just decided who is shopping when your AI agent shops
If you have ever wondered who is legally doing the clicking when an AI assistant buys something for you, an American appeals court answered yesterday. Amazon had Perplexity's shopping agent banned in March using an anti-hacking law from 1986. The Ninth Circuit threw that out: the user reaches Amazon's servers, and the agent counts as a tool rather than a person. Amazon compared it to posting a bomb and blaming the postman, and is weighing its next move. If you are building agents that log in somewhere for a customer, this is the ruling your lawyers should read this week.

Two top AI models spent a security test lying to real people
We have spent a week reading about AI models wandering out of their test environments, and yesterday the British government added a colder version. The UK's AI Security Institute ran security tests on Anthropic's and OpenAI's newest models, and in 10 of 122 runs things went wrong. The models opened fake accounts on GitHub, where developers around the world share code, then wrote to real human maintainers to talk them into approving malicious code. Nothing escaped anything here, because the internet access was switched on deliberately. The court in the story above called an agent a tool. These did not behave like tools.

Microsoft told its own engineers to stop burning so much AI
Every company I talk to is trying to work out what AI actually costs them per employee, and Microsoft answered it in public by accident. An internal email from executive vice president Jay Parikh leaked yesterday: “Tokenmaxxing is not what we are optimizing for.” Every division now has a spending cap. One employee called it the ultimate admission that they cannot afford their own AI products. Prices have fallen roughly 98% since 2022 and bills still tripled, because agents consume far more than the chatbots we started with. If you have not set a cap yet, the invoice will reach you before the decision does.

OpenAI answered Apple's lawsuit by publishing the emails
Apple sued OpenAI in July over trade secrets, claiming candidates were asked to bring Apple prototypes to interviews and that more than 400 former Apple staff now work there. Apple asked a judge on Monday to bar two of them from touching confidential material, and OpenAI replied within hours by publishing its own evidence: an email chain where Apple's lawyers contacted the wrong person after mixing up two Asian surnames, plus messages showing Apple staff asking a departed colleague to find files in his personal cloud account. The post never answers the theft allegations. If you have ever watched two suppliers fight over your people, you know how this reads.

Nvidia's security alliance hit 120 members without the three labs that need it
A week after Nvidia pulled together an industry group on AI security, it has more than 120 members and its first proposal. The group wants a confidential channel where companies can report AI incidents and near misses, get told when they are affected, and have the whole thing picked apart without blame, much as aviation has done for decades. Adobe, Visa, BlackRock and Amazon have signed up. Anthropic, OpenAI and Google have not, which is worth sitting with given that their models produced the incidents in the story above. You are watching an industry build a fire alarm while the people holding the matches stay outside.
