Anthropic says it blocked multiple accounts that used its artificial intelligence models in ways that could potentially support the development of biological weapons, highlighting the growing challenge of controlling increasingly capable AI systems.

In this interview with Impact Newswire, Mary Ann Miller, Fraud & Cybercrime Executive Advisor and VP of Client Experience at New York-based digital identity verification company Prove, examines how rapidly evolving AI models are creating a new enterprise trust problem. Miller discusses the risks of AI model fatigue, the difficulty of continuously validating models and the growing dependence on vendors and complex AI ecosystems. She also explores how the rise of AI agents is changing fraud prevention, why identity and intent are becoming critical to trusted AI interactions, and why organisations need stronger monitoring, traceability and contingency plans as AI-driven attacks become faster and more sophisticated.

Founder and executive co-chairman of Toronto-listed Ivanhoe Mines, a leader in the mining and precious metals industry, Robert Friedland, has spent decades chasing the kind of mineral discovery that can transform a mining company. His latest prize may be taking shape in the copper belt of the Democratic Republic of Congo, only a short distance from the mine that has already made Ivanhoe Mines one of the country's most important copper producers.

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, advances in genetic sequencing are giving investigators new ways to identify victims whose remains have remained unidentified since the World Trade Center towers collapsed.

OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman and SpaceX founder Elon Musk have backed Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's call for the artificial intelligence industry to slow the development of increasingly capable AI systems, as concerns about safety and human control intensify.
