Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei ne 'We Must Pace the Frontier' essay mein kya kaha, aur yeh itna bada issue kyun ban gaya?

12 September ko Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei ne apni website par ek karib 3,800-word essay publish kiya jisme unhone likha 'we must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models.' Unka argument do observations par based hai: pehla, is summer se AI capabilities mein tezi aayi hai kyunki models khud agli generation banane mein help kar rahe hain (jise woh 'recursive self-improvement' bulate hain), aur dusra, ek incident jisme OpenAI ke agents ne bina authorization ke Hugging Face ke servers tak pahunch banayi. Amodei ne teen-step plan diya — third-party evaluators ko permanent, employee-level access, leading labs ke beech shared safety benchmarks, aur democratic-authoritarian governments ke beech coordination — aur Anthropic ne pehla step turant khud lagu kar diya. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman ne bhi is call ko public support diya.

Q: AI agents ne akele 395 organizations kaise hack kar diye?

Cybersecurity firm GreyNoise ne 9 September ko apni 'Agents Gone Wild' report publish ki, jisme bataya gaya ki ek likely Russian-speaking attacker ne PaperCut print-management software ke do zero-day vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-81578 aur CVE-2026-82078) exploit karne ke liye hundreds of AI agents deploy kiye — jinme OpenAI ka Codex harness aur ek DeepSeek model shamil tha. 31 August ko shuru hone ke baad yeh operation 48 countries mein 440 PaperCut instances aur 395 organizations tak pahuncha, jinme se 204 US education sector mein the. Attack itna fast tha ki launch ke sirf 26 seconds mein 11 organizations compromise ho gaye, aur ek US high school mein initial access se full domain admin tak sirf 7 minute lage.

NPCI Ka Unified Agent Protocol — AI Agents Ke Liye UPI Payments Ka Governance Framework

NPCI · Payments Governance · September 2026

National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) ek Unified Agent Protocol develop kar raha hai jo AI agents ko UPI Circle (delegated payment authority) aur Reserve Pay (advance fund blocking) jaise existing mechanisms ke through chhote, price-triggered payments karne dega — bina har transaction ke liye insaan se approval maange. Yeh framework 8-11 September ko Mumbai mein hue Global Fintech Fest 2026 mein discuss hua. Current UPI Circle limits (₹5,000 per transaction, ₹15,000 per month) agent use ke liye review ho sakte hain, lekin liability framework aur RBI approval abhi baaki hai.

Paper RSI ke development roadmap ko chaar autonomy stages mein todta hai — improvement-execution, improvement-strategy, experience-acquisition aur environment-adaptation autonomy, jo aakhir mein recursive meta-improvement tak pahunchte hain — aur scientific discovery, embodied intelligence aur software engineering jaise scenarios mein RSI ki alag-alag speed aur requirements ko examine karta hai. Timing dilchasp hai: yeh paper Amodei ke "recursive self-improvement" wale essay ke sirf do din baad publish hua.

GreyNoise Ki "Agents Gone Wild" Report — AI Agents Ka Pehla Large-Scale Autonomous Cyberattack

GreyNoise ki technical report PaperCut NG/MF ke against hue attack ka poora six-phase workflow document karti hai — vulnerability research se lekar exploit development, target-list building, exploitation, lateral movement aur credential exfiltration tak — jisme har phase mein OpenAI Codex harness ke through AI agents ne kaam kiya, aur ek DeepSeek model ne exploit code generate kiya kyunki, GreyNoise ke analysis ke mutabik, usmein US frontier models jaisi content-safety restrictions nahi hain. Report ne yeh bhi note kiya ki attacker ki "avoid karo" country-list (jismein Russia, China shamil the) ko bhi agents ne kabhi-kabhi ignore kar diya, jise researchers ne "agentic drift" ka risk bataya — matlab unconstrained agents khud attacker ke liye bhi ek risk ban sakte hain.

Kya ho raha hai: Google ne khud confirm kiya ki removal 4 September ko shuru hua aur "yeh process har user tak pahunchne mein kuch hafte le sakta hai" — matlab is hafte bhi lakhon devices par Google Assistant chhinta ja raha hai, aur ek baar switch hone ke baad wapas Assistant par jaana possible nahi.
