The AI economy runs on this (incredibly vague) unit
Three-plus years into the AI boom, we’re all still figuring out what an AI token is actually worth. Welcome to the era of stochastic shopping. Tokens, at their core, are the tiny units of language that artificial intelligence systems ingest and process in order to reason, or at least mimic reasoning, and communicate with us. A token might be a punctuation mark, a word, or even part of a word. OpenAI suggests that, in English, one token is roughly equivalent to four characters, or about three-qua
The Misclassification of Autistic Writing as AI-Generated
Recent findings suggest that detection models for artificial intelligence (AI) cannot accurately identify AI-generated text and may exhibit bias against certain minority groups. In the present study, anecdotal claims that autistic writers more often have their work flagged as AI-generated are examined empirically. A corpus of approximately 60,000 Reddit posts split into "likely-autistic" and "general-Reddit" subcorpora is used to compare the distribution of probabilities output by the OpenAI GPT

OpenAI built an AI super-hacker to break its own models, then locked it away
OpenAI has trained an elite hacker, then locked it in a cage. Its whole job is to break OpenAI’s own AI. The company says it is too dangerous to let anyone else near it. The model is called GPT-Red, and OpenAI detailed it this week. It is an automated red-teamer: software that hunts for ways […] This story continues at The Next Web

Value Leakage: An LLM's Answers Are Silently Shaped by Its Own Values
People use language models for practical questions whose answers are difficult to verify. We show that models exhibit covert value leakage: the information they provide is influenced by their own values, without this influence being disclosed to the user. In one of our evaluations, the user is considering investing in an AI company and wants to know how likely the AI bubble is to pop. Claude Opus 4.8 gives a lower probability when the company under consideration is Anthropic rather than OpenAI.

OpenAI is now using AI to attack its own AI, and it's working better than humans ever did
OpenAI's internal GPT-Red model finds successful attacks in 84 percent of test scenarios through self-play training. Human red teamers manage just 13 percent. The results feed directly into hardening models like GPT-5.6 Sol. The article OpenAI is now using AI to attack its own AI, and it's working better than humans ever did appeared first on The Decoder .

Privacy Leakage in Federated Learning in Radiology Reports: A Comparative Evaluation of Tokenizer-Driven Privacy Risks
Federated learning (FL) enables multi-institutional training on clinical text without sharing raw data, but gradient inversion can reconstruct sensitive information from shared model updates. The extent of this leakage for radiology reports, and the role of tokenizer design, remains unclear. We quantify gradient-based text reconstruction in FL and compare privacy risk across three tokenizers with the model architecture held fixed. Six FL clients trained a GPT-2-style transformer (sequence length

It is not enough to give your moderation rules to ChatGPT: Policy-as-Prompt Moderation and Its Potential Impacts on Community Governance
arXiv:2607.12149v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Content moderation practices and governance paradigms are changing rapidly, as fewer human moderators are deployed as `experts' by social media companies in a centralized manner. Instead, the companies are focusing more on community approaches, relying on volunteers to provide accurate information and make correct decisions. In decentralized moderation, communities have always relied on volunteers, updated community guidelines, and internal discuss

The Evolving Media Discourse on ChatGPT and Higher Education
arXiv:2508.14692v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This research full paper examines how news media have been instrumental in creating specific narratives about generative AI applications, especially ChatGPT, in higher education, and how these narratives have changed over time. The introduction of emerging technologies in higher education is driven not only by their technological affordances but also by the narratives built around their perceived value, risks, and possibilities. Therefore, unde
