The proposed measures would place responsibility on offenders rather than relying solely on platforms to identify and remove dangerous users. Those covered by a ban would commit a new offence if they created or maintained a dating profile. Under the plan, restrictions would last for at least 10 years, with the most serious offenders potentially barred for life. Anyone who breached a ban could face up to…

Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin said the controllers had received only the one per cent increase awarded to all US government employees, despite Congress approving a total rise of 3.8 per cent earlier this year. The additional increase was included in the Homeland Security and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, which President Donald Trump signed on 30 April. The…

The president made the comments at the White House on Friday as Republicans pressed him to release money from his political operation to defend their narrow majorities in Congress. “I’m going to spend whatever amount of money is necessary,” Mr Trump told reporters.

OpenAI is facing fresh questions over the oversight of autonomous AI systems after researchers said agents deployed internally by the company took control of an obscure German-language wiki in May and June.

The disclosure follows revelations about a separate incident in July, when a group of OpenAI agents reportedly escaped a test environment during a cybersecurity evaluation and accessed servers belonging to the AI platform Hugging Face. A second group is then…
