    Danish utilities and schools flooded with requests that look written by AI

    Denmark's openness law lets anyone ask a public body for its documents, and someone appears to have handed that right to a machine. Water works, district heating firms and at least 50 schools have recently been flooded with near-identical requests that the companies believe AI wrote. Ministries and municipalities were hit too, and the Danish Agency for Societal Security says the requests all came from one sender. The heating industry fears someone is mapping critical infrastructure, while the employers' group Dansk Industri suspects pranks. Either way, a machine now writes requests almost for free while each answer costs staff time, so I expect the law itself to come up for debate.

    A US intelligence memo says China recruited a spy to get close to Nvidia's chief executive

    Two New York Times reports show how hard it is for Washington to know who ends up with American AI chips. A US intelligence memo says China's spy agency recruited Alice Huang, who works for the Singapore chip buyer Megaspeed. Her task was to gather information on Nvidia's chief executive, Jensen Huang. The Financial Times reports an unconfirmed romance between the two, and Nvidia calls the contact "not unusual". The Times also found that New Matrix, a Chinese firm cleared to buy advanced Nvidia chips, gives an empty building as its office. If you sell sensitive technology abroad, that empty office matters more than the romance, because it means nobody checked the buyer.

    Claude Code has been saving developers' passwords in files that can end up public

    A shortcut Anthropic built into its AI coding tool has turned into a leak. When a developer answers "yes, and don't ask again" to a command, Claude Code saves that command in a project file, passwords included. The tool tries to keep that file out of shared code. Even so, Apiiro, a security firm with tools to sell, found 2,539 such secrets in public code on GitHub. A bug report about the behaviour, filed over a year ago, was closed by a bot, and I found no comment from Anthropic. Ask your developers to replace any password typed into an approved command, since deleting the file leaves it in the code's history.

    Microsoft winds down an AI research group, its former leader says

    Inside the big labs, a quiet argument runs about whether AI improves mainly through bigger computers or through new ideas. At Microsoft, by one insider's account, bigger computers just won a round. John Langford is a well-known machine-learning researcher. On Friday he wrote that AI Frontiers, the research group of about 50 people he helped lead, has ended after being moved into Microsoft AI in September. He writes that this unit's core philosophy is "scaling, and aggressively not research", meaning size over new ideas. I found no comment from Microsoft. If he is right, Microsoft is betting even more on size, just as voters this week made big data centres harder to build.

    China's state news agency gives its AI newsreaders human bodies

    State news in China can now be read out by a robot with a human face. Xinhua, China's official news agency, unveiled two life-size humanoid anchors on Thursday. UBTech, a Chinese robot maker, built them, and the film director Zhang Yimou styled them. They answer questions face to face using Xinhua's own AI, which draws only on the agency's vetted material. Xinhua calls them a world first, which is a stretch, since Japan showed an android newsreader in 2014. No error rates or costs were published. A newsreader that cannot stray from what the state has approved does exactly what Xinhua wants, which tells you whose needs this robot was designed around.
