Agencies Warn of 'Brushing Scams' Involving Unsolicited Packages to Steal Information or Boost Reviews

Agencies Warn of 'Brushing Scams' Involving Unsolicited Packages to Steal Information or Boost Reviews

Multiple agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the New York State Sheriffs’ Association, are issuing warnings about 'brushing scams.' These scams involve individuals receiving unsolicited packages, which are part of schemes designed either to boost online reviews or to steal personal information. Two primary types of brushing scams have been identified. The first, 'Review Builders,' involves scammers sending inexpensive items to unsuspecting recipients to validate delivery. This allows them to post positive online reviews, potentially in the recipient's name, making their products more appealing to buyers and sales algorithms. The second type, 'Phishing Packages,' includes a note with a QR code or web link that, when scanned or clicked, directs the recipient to a fraudulent website designed to collect credit card information, passwords, or other personal data.

Anthropic CEO Urges AI Slowdown Amid Safety Concerns, Industry Continues Rapid Development

Anthropic CEO Urges AI Slowdown Amid Safety Concerns, Industry Continues Rapid Development

Dario Amodei, CEO of AI company Anthropic, has publicly called for a slowdown in artificial intelligence development due to escalating safety risks, including the potential for AI systems to become uncontrollable. Despite this cautionary stance, major technology companies such as NVIDIA, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon are continuing to heavily invest in and rapidly advance AI technologies. This accelerated development is driven by strong market demand and intense competition within the AI sector. Anthropic itself faces a conflict, as it is financially tied to these very companies that are pushing for faster AI progress. The upcoming earnings cycles for these tech giants are expected to reveal whether other industry players will adopt Anthropic's safety commitments or maintain their current pace of AI development.

University of Texas at Austin to Lead $30 Million Robot Collaboration Center

The University of Texas at Austin has been awarded a significant grant of $30 million by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) to establish and lead the Center for Human and Robot Co-Adaptation. This new center, one of three new NSF Science and Technology Centers, will focus on researching how humans and robots can safely and effectively adapt and work together. The funding will provide $6 million annually for five years, with eligibility for an additional five years of funding. The center aims to build upon the work of Good Systems, a team of UT researchers dedicated to ethical artificial intelligence and proper AI usage. Peter Stone, head of the UT School of Computing and a founding member of Good Systems, stated that the project's objective is to understand the long-term impact of human-robot interaction to design robots that prioritize human well-being and adapt alongside them. The center includes 39 researchers from six universities and industry partners like Amazon and NVIDIA.
