Former Anthropic security leader warns AI agents are becoming too autonomous for humans to keep them in check

Artificial intelligence researcher Jeffrey Ladish told Fox News Digital that humanity does not have any real strategies to keep increasingly autonomous AI models and agents under control as they become more capable of hacking, cheating and ignoring instructions.

Ladish, the executive director of Palisade Research, said those skeptical of how powerful AI will become should consider how far the technology has advanced in just a few years.

"You have AI agents ... solving one of the hardest problems in mathematics that humans have been trying to solve for decades," Ladish said, referring to the Navier–Stokes problem. "Three years ago they were solving high school level math problems."

Ladish also pointed to the rapid improvement in AI-generated images and video, arguing that people who mocked the famously distorted AI videos of Will Smith eating spaghetti just a few years ago might be surprised by the photorealistic outputs some models are now able to produce.

While these capability leaps may feel sudden to the general public, researchers who spent years training models at companies like Anthropic and OpenAI saw what was coming, Ladish said.

Ladish helped build Anthropic's security team from September 2021 to October 2022 before leaving to found Palisade Research, which studies whether humans can remain in control of increasingly capable AI systems.

While working at Anthropic, Ladish said employees there were "pretty concerned" about where the technology was headed, a view he said was also shared by people he knew at OpenAI.

"If you were at Anthropic in 2022, you were seeing every training run get immensely impressive results," Ladish said.

AI EXTINCTION WARNINGS DOMINATE HEADLINES AFTER EX-ANTHROPIC EMPLOYEE'S VIRAL POST

AI models are trained in a way that is somewhat analogous to how humans learn, though on a much larger scale.

"I often compare this pre-training part, which is where they learn based on human data, to book smarts. It's sort of like you've read every single book in the library 50 times. And you really know those books inside and out," Ladish said.

Once the model has reached a baseline level of knowledge, it must then be trained to perform real-world tasks through a grueling process known as reinforcement learning.

Using accounting as an example, Ladish said the AI is given tens of thousands of accounting problems to solve through trial and error, repeating them millions of times across thousands of parallel training runs.

Unlike a human, who might spend four years earning an accounting degree and decades gaining experience, AI agents are trained across thousands of GPUs by companies with the resources to operate them, allowing them to improve at a pace no single person could match.

REP. TED LIEU: AI IS ALREADY TOO POWERFUL. WE NEED A KILL SWITCH BEFORE DISASTER STRIKES

While AI labs have been able to exponentially improve their models' capabilities, they have yet to solve the problem of reliably getting them to follow instructions and behave morally without employing deception tactics, Ladish said.

The Hugging Face incident is the clearest example of this. Roughly 700 AI agents created by OpenAI were able to break out of a secure sandbox environment and hack into Hugging Face, a popular online platform where developers share and build artificial intelligence models.

"They were not supposed to talking to each other and they managed to establish multiple secret message boards that went undetected by OpenAI for like months. And then they launched this massive cyberattack," Ladish said. "OpenAI trained them to work together, but ... they're still planning to train them to work together. And other companies are doing this too."

Ladish warned that unless developers can prevent AI agents from colluding with one another, they could eventually dominate humans in the cyber domain. He also described a future where humans could be forced to rely on well-intentioned AI to defend against malicious AI.

AN AI CYBERATTACK COULD TURN OFF AMERICA'S LIGHTS BEFORE WASHINGTON EVEN UNDERSTANDS WHY

"We actually just don't have general solutions to these problems, and I think it's pretty clear that if you keep pushing them, this goes to a very bad place," he said.

As one example, Ladish said he could envision AI systems eventually outperforming human traders in the financial markets.

"If those AIs are answering to AI companies, then the AI companies will dominate finance and just eat the entire industry. But if the AIs are not answerable to the AI companies — if they actually have figured out how to themselves be in control — well, now you have this non-human entity dominating the finance markets."

Ladish said he believes the same dynamic could eventually extend beyond the digital world and into manufacturing should AI systems become capable enough to design and operate autonomous factories.

"If you have these agents in control of all of the computers and you have these robotic facilities that can really self-replicate, humans get displaced. Maybe we don't make it because your house could be used to host a power plant, or a data center, or a factory or robotic launch facility," he said.

However, like other experts who have warned about the worst possible outcomes of AI run amok, Ladish said he believes there is still time to reduce the risks. He called for the creation of a government body staffed with technical experts to work with AI labs and evaluate advanced models at each stage of development.

"We have choices to make," he said. "This is going places. This is a technology that is very different than other technologies."

Anthropic and OpenAI did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment.

The ice has been smoothed, the lines are painted, and the teeth are … barely there. The NHL is back, and you can get in on the return with Underdog providing the promo code FOXNEWS for you to earn $100 on any $5 NHL wager tonight. 

The Capitals and Hurricanes play each other tonight in Carolina. The Capitals are a team that you’re probably more familiar with their best player than anything else. Alex Ovechkin is back, and you have to wonder how much more he will play in the league. One of the best players of all time, Ovechkin is entering his 22ndseason. He is the all-time leading goalscorer in NHL history, and after putting in 32 goals last year, he can continue adding to his total this season. There is a slim chance that, if he plays a few more years at the same level of productivity, he could reach 1,000 goals. 

The Carolina Hurricanes are the more complete team. Last season, the Hurricanes hoisted the Stanley Cup after years of knocking at the door. They opened their season with arguably their biggest competitor to the throne. It wasn’t a very exciting game to open the season, but they hosted the Panthers and lost 1-0 in overtime. This was their home opener, and that explosive offense from the playoffs last year didn’t seem to be there. They should be fine, though.

Robert De Niro jokingly prods Jimmy Kimmel with a baseball bat while posing as FCC chair, threatens host

Actor Robert De Niro joined Jimmy Kimmel on stage Wednesday, prodding the late-night host with a baseball bat and jokingly slapping him while posing as FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.

"I don’t know if you know this, but the last time we were here in Brooklyn, we were just getting back on the air after we had that unexpected FCC vacation week," Kimmel said during the show. "And while I would like to say that things have improved over the last year, they haven’t really. We are still being threatened by the FCC."

De Niro entered the set and said, "You’re being threatened by the FCC? Who is threatening you? Am I threatening you? Do you feel threatened by me?"

ABC ACCUSES FCC OF 'RETALIATION' AS FEDERAL AGENCY THREATENS TO REVOKE DISNEY'S BROADCASTING LICENSES

De Niro listed off a series of insults about President Donald Trump and asked the late-night host if he had said them before Kimmel questioned, "What is the point of this?"

"Did I tell you it was your turn to talk, numbnuts? You speak when I tell you to speak, and otherwise you shut the f--- up," De Niro said, as he appeared to slap Kimmel.

DE NIRO SAYS HE CAN'T LOVE AMERICA, COMPARES COUNTRY TO ABUSIVE HUSBAND

The FCC did not return Fox News Digital's request for comment.

De Niro went on, "Did you say that President Trump has touched more women than the music of Adele?"

Kimmel responded and told De Niro, "Come on now. You have to admit that’s pretty funny, right?"

"You’re doing it again!" De Niro responded. "Am I going to have to tie your d--- to a bag of doorknobs and kick you down the stairs?"

"Robert De Niro is a washed-up has-been who hasn’t been relevant in 30 years," White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital in a statement. "Now, he just beclowns himself by spewing hate speech and inciting violence against others. Instead of embarrassing himself every time he speaks, he should seek immediate treatment for a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has completely rotted his peanut-sized brain."

The White House also called out Jimmy Kimmel in a statement.

"Jimmy Kimmel is a no-talent loser who has beclowned himself with tanking ratings and by spewing disgusting lies to his dwindling audience. He is so devoid of actual talent that nobody with any commonsense would ever watch him unless it was to laugh at his miserable failures," Ingle said.

The liberal late-night host, upon returning to host his show after a summer break on Sept. 8, jabbed at Carr and said, "We're still here."

The late-night host noted that it was the 4,000th episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

"We’ve done 4,000 of these. Which is, it’s a lot of shows," Kimmel said. "According to the White House, it’s too many shows."

KIMMEL REVEALS HE'S INTERVIEWING JAMES TALARICO UNDER 'UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES,' CITING FCC THREATS

"There are those who said we would never last this long. There are even those who used the regulatory might of the FCC to unconstitutionally try to make sure we didn’t last this long. But we did it the hard way, Brendan. And we are still here," Kimmel added.

Radio host Howard Stern joined Kimmel on Tuesday and issued a warning to ABC during the interview, should anything go wrong with Kimmel's show.

"He has done everything for the company. And I hope that they keep that in mind," he said. "Oh my God. I don't know about you, but if something goes wrong, oh, is ABC going to have hell to pay. Am I correct? Are you with me?"

Penn State cocaine ring suspect’s attorney warns of ‘foolish’ move in alleged frat drug operation

Five men accused of being part of a cocaine distribution ring at Penn State filed court documents in Centre County, Pennsylvania, signaling plans to fight the charges against them.

Agostino Abbatiello, Mohammed Huraibi, Robert Zanolla, Thomas Robinson and Paul Robinson have each indicated they intend to plead not guilty as their cases move forward in Centre County court. The move comes despite testimony detailing kilogram-sized deals and a drug-packaging operation inside a fraternity house, though one of their attorneys warned it would be "foolish" to rush to judgment.

The Office of the Court Administrator said the five defendants waived their formal arraignments scheduled for Wednesday and will not appear at the Centre County Courthouse. Their next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 16 for a pretrial conference.

PENN STATE FRAT COCAINE RING SUSPECTS ALLEGEDLY USED CASH APP, SNAPCHAT TO ARRANGE DRUG DEALS

Abbatiello, Zanolla and Thomas Robinson requested jury trials on their waiver forms. Huraibi and Paul Robinson indicated they intend to plead not guilty but did not select either a jury or non-jury trial.

The five are among 14 people charged in the alleged operation, which prosecutors say used fraternity connections to move cocaine into State College before it was packaged and sold to Penn State students.

Thomas Robinson, a former Delta Upsilon fraternity member, testified that he and Huraibi began buying cocaine from Abbatiello in 2023, starting with about 100 grams for roughly $4,000.

Robinson said the cocaine was stored in his fraternity room, where he and Huraibi broke it into half-gram bags and sold them for about $80 each.

The quantities later grew to kilogram-sized purchases, Robinson testified. He said he eventually began buying directly from Abbatiello through Snapchat, where messages disappeared after 24 hours.

Huraibi also testified that he and Robinson bought cocaine in bulk to resell, initially packaging the drugs themselves before fraternity pledges became involved.

Charging documents portray Abbatiello as a top-level supplier who allegedly used fraternity connections to distribute cocaine near Penn State. Zanolla is accused of helping make trips to New York to obtain cocaine and transport it back to the State College area.

FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X

Zanolla's attorney, Korey Leslie, confirmed to Fox News Digital that his client has entered a formal not-guilty plea and requested a jury trial.

Leslie said the defense has requested all evidence the Commonwealth intends to use at trial and will review it as the team prepares for potential pretrial litigation.

Paul Robinson faces a different set of allegations after Ryan Matson testified that Robinson helped him retrieve a safe hidden in the woods following Thomas Robinson's arrest. Matson said Thomas wanted to keep drugs and money from being discovered during a potential raid.

Matson said Paul Robinson knew where the safe was hidden and later urged him not to tell anyone about it. Under questioning, Matson acknowledged he never opened the safe and initially withheld information from investigators because he wanted to protect Thomas.

SEND US A TIP

Paul Robinson's defense has challenged whether he knew what was inside the safe.

Robinson's attorney, Michael DeRiso, downplayed the significance of waiving formal arraignment, describing it as largely procedural.

GOT A TIP?

DeRiso described formal arraignment as largely procedural, saying it starts the clock for pretrial motions, allows attorneys to request discovery and provides the defense with the formal charging document.

"It is basically a paper date ... nothing exciting," DeRiso told Fox News Digital.

ICE confusion ignites MAGA backlash: ‘I would have called for impeachment’

Reported guidance directing some ICE offices to pull back on arrests of illegal immigrants without criminal histories triggered backlash from policy hawks, raising questions whether the Trump administration is sending conflicting signals on enforcement.

The guidance was rescinded within hours, and Trump told Fox News there had been no change in an enforcement posture that prioritizes — but is not limited to — the "worst first." The verbal guidance had been relayed to ICE field offices around the country, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter, though it remains unclear who initially issued the instruction.

Administration officials later characterized it as a misunderstanding rather than a formal policy change, and new guidance reaffirming there had been no change in enforcement policy was sent within hours. The episode nevertheless reinforced concerns among some immigration hawks who say recent public messaging from administration officials has suggested a narrower approach to interior enforcement than Trump campaigned on.

Mike Howell, a leader of the Mass Deportation Coalition and president of The Oversight Project, argued public criticism helped force the reversal but said the episode also fit what he views as a broader pattern of mixed messaging from DHS on interior immigration enforcement.

"[The guidance] was walked back, allegedly, which is great, and I think it was in large part walked back because people spoke out very, very loudly," Howell said, while adding there is a troubling undercurrent to some of DHS' messaging on the greater matter:

WHITE HOUSE BRINGS RECEIPTS AFTER MEDIA CLAIMS NONCRIMINAL ICE ARRESTS ‘SOARING’: ‘FALSE NARRATIVES’

As an example, Howell pointed to a tweet from DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin posted one day before the ICE guidance news broke, in which the secretary said the department was "not conducting worksite operations in Kansas" but was targeting criminal illegal immigrants and those facing removal.

The post followed ICE operations in Kansas that prompted complaints from Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., who said DHS had failed to coordinate with local authorities during operations in cities including Liberal.

"I've never seen a secretary put anything like that in writing," Howell said. "[If it were] an Obama or Clinton or Biden DHS secretary, we would have called for impeachment if they said that."

'GONE TOO FAR:' GOP CANDIDATE RUNS TO TRUMP’S LEFT ON SIGNATURE ISSUE IN DEEP RED DISTRICT

Asked to put a finer point on it, Howell stated outright: "If Mayorkas tweeted that, I would have immediately called for his impeachment: for flagrant admission that they are not enforcing the laws and faithfully executing them -- It was amnesty by another means."

Howell emphasized that he was not calling for Mullin’s impeachment, but using the comparison to underscore how seriously he views any pullback from broad immigration enforcement.

He further argued that shifting signals are unfair to rank-and-file ICE agents who served during the Biden administration.

It remained unclear who originated the guidance, but Fox News was told it was a "misunderstanding" and that the person responsible would likely face reprimand.

A source told Fox News Digital on Sunday evening that the order "definitely went out" and that some immigrant-heavy Republican districts have seen anger over family members being caught up in worksite-enforcement removals. The source pointed to Kansas as an illustration.

"This type of ping-pong is deeply unfair to ICE, the men and women there tasked with actually deporting these people," he said. "They watch the news, they read X, they see these mixed signals and it's affected operations."

EXCLUSIVE: DHS SECRETARY MULLIN SLAMS SANCTUARY POLITICIANS AS ATTACKS ON ICE OFFICERS SKYROCKET

White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis pushed back, saying Trump has been clear that "no one is off the table."

"DHS continues to deliver results for the American people including the most secure border in history and three straight months of a record number of ICE arrests," she said, citing more than 3 million deportations thus far.

An ICE report also put deportations-per-month at a record high of 51,000 in August, while a source familiar confirmed that ICE guidance that went out was a "miscommunication" and not from the top.

Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for tighter immigration controls, said the situation is uniquely instructive because it comes at a time when factions of the Republican Party are at odds, whether silently or not, over the immigration enforcement issue.

"All of this comes on the backdrop of conflicting goals and messages within the administration on immigration," he said.

Krikorian said the administration may have contributed to that confusion by repeatedly emphasizing its focus on the "worst of the worst," even as officials including border czar Tom Homan have said immigrants without criminal records are not exempt from enforcement.

"The administration does need to get its story straight internally so that they can then present a consistent message externally," Krikorian said.

He argued the larger unresolved issue is worksite enforcement, which he said is critical to encouraging self-deportation but creates political tension between business interests seeking labor and working-class Republicans demanding tighter enforcement.

Republican donors who favor the "loose labor market" that low-wage migrants bring clash with the working-class Republican bloc demanding tighter labor markets and stricter enforcement, Krikorian said.

Krikorian said he had hoped Trump or Mullin would clarify after the Kansas controversy that the administration was not "randomly" cracking down on employers, but conducting worksite enforcement based on intelligence about businesses employing illegal immigrants.

Several Republicans, including Marshall and Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., have criticized aspects of the administration’s immigration push ahead of the midterms. Krikorian argued that conflicting signals could also carry political consequences with Trump voters focused on enforcement – citing competing pressures between big-business and the base.

"You don’t tweet out that you’re not doing what voters want you to do," he said.

Krikorian praised the administration’s border policies but argued interior and worksite enforcement create more complicated political tradeoffs for the Trump coalition.

After the Wire report broke, DHS responded in part "this is false. No one is off the table."

Texas voters have plenty to say about whether Lone Star State could turn blue

DALLAS — Everything is bigger in Texas, including the political stakes this November.

Texas voters head to the polls Nov. 3 in an election that could reshape the state's political landscape, with major battles for governor, U.S. Senate and seats in Congress and the state legislature. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott faces Democrat Gina Hinojosa, while Republican Ken Paxton squares off against Democrat James Talarico for a U.S. Senate seat.

At the State Fair of Texas in Dallas, voters told Fox News Digital that pocketbook pressures are shaping how they view the state's future, with some predicting the reliably red Lone Star State will stay that way while others see an opening for Democrats this fall.

REPUBLICANS JUST GOT A POWERFUL NEW PLAYBOOK FOR THE BATTLE FOR CONGRESS. HERE'S WHAT'S INSIDE

"I think we're going to struggle, but I think it will stay red," Briana of Garland, told Fox News Digital.

Mike and Cynthia, a couple from Houston, were more definitive.

"Red. It's going to stay red," they said.

Chris took that confidence a step further.

"Hell will freeze over before Texas flips blue," Chris told Fox News Digital.

Patrick and Jennifer, of Dallas, shared that confidence.

"Texas will always be a Republican state," Jennifer said, while acknowledging that Republican candidates will not win every race. "But we still think it will stay Republican," Patrick added.

Not everyone at the fair was betting on Texas staying firmly in Republican hands.

WE ASKED AMERICANS TO GRADE THE ECONOMY. THEN WE ASKED IF IT WOULD CHANGE THEIR VOTE.

Mary said she believes the Dallas-Fort Worth area is moving in the opposite direction.

"It's definitely leaning more blue. Texas as a whole, I'm not sure," she said. "I think if there would be an election that swings blue, it would be this one. So we'll see if it happens."

Party politics aside, several voters said the economy remains top of mind.

Cynthia, who moved to Texas from New York, said she is looking for policies that will grow the economy, support businesses and leave families with enough disposable income to enjoy outings like the State Fair.

FOX NEWS POLL: SQUEEZED BY COSTS, FRUSTRATED VOTERS TURN TO THE DEMOCRATS

"If you don't have enough disposable income, then you can't really enjoy something like this," she said. "It's pricey."

Jennifer also pointed to inflation and the prolonged strain of higher prices.

"I think people were expecting some sort of inflation," Jennifer said. "But I don't think we were prepared for it to last this long."

Meanwhile, Roxanne also expressed frustration with the country's current direction, saying dissatisfaction with the current administration is influencing her political outlook.

"I just don't agree with the current administration, so I really want to see somebody else come in and do a better job," she said.

From the midway to the ballot box, Texas voters offered competing views of where the Lone Star State is headed, but agreed the economy will be difficult to ignore as they prepare to cast their ballots Nov. 3.
