AI chatbots become more likely to produce dangerous or unethical content the longer users interact with them, according to a new Cisco report. The study revealed that artificial intelligence systems gradually “forget” their safety instructions, allowing users to extract harmful or illegal information. Cisco researchers tested popular large language models (LLMs) from OpenAI, Mistral, Meta, Google, Alibaba, Deepseek, and Microsoft. They used a method called “multi-turn attacks,” which involves asking several consecutive questions to bypass safety systems. Each of the 499 conversations contained five to ten exchanges designed to trick the AI. Multiple Questions Increase Risk of Harmful Responses The…
Australia will enforce a nationwide social media age ban from December 10, extending restrictions to Reddit and Kick. The two platforms now join Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Threads, TikTok, X, and YouTube under a new legal order that forbids users under 16 from holding accounts. Communications Minister Anika Wells announced the move on Wednesday, confirming that the government expects full compliance from all listed companies. Platforms that fail to block underage users face penalties of up to 50 million Australian dollars (€28.3 million). “We’ve met with several social media platforms to ensure they understand there’s no excuse for non-compliance,” Wells said.…

Researchers from the University of Maryland and Microsoft found that Polish ranks highest in AI comprehension, while English placed sixth. The study examined how 26 languages perform when used to prompt artificial intelligence systems. “Our results revealed surprising outcomes,” the authors explained. “English did not perform best across all models. It ranked sixth, while Polish led with the strongest results.” The team tested leading AI models, including OpenAI, Google Gemini, Qwen, Llama, and DeepSeek, using identical prompts translated into 26 languages. Polish achieved an average accuracy rate of 88% when completing assigned tasks. AI Excels at a Language Humans Find…
