AI This Week with PlsAutomate

Aleks

Your weekly rundown of AI news, with one question in mind: what can this actually do for your business?

Each episode covers the biggest AI releases, tools and trends. Then we skip the hype and show how they turn into real automations: chatbots, AI agents, workflow automation and custom integrations that save time and money.

Hosted by the founder of PlsAutomate.

    Stolen AI, Smarter Robots and Safer Agents

    A quiet week for new models, but a clear lesson: the future of AI isn't one giant model doing everything. It's smart models inside well-built systems. Here's the AI news from September 27, 2026: Bill Gates called for AI safety laws, while President Trump warned that slowing down would help China. Criminals are stealing AI accounts and compute to run cheaper, faster cyberattacks. An update on OpenAI's sandbox escape, and why even DNS can become a way out for an agent. Robotics researchers at IROS: robots need world models, not just LLM-style scaling. Why AI-controlled robots need to know when they're uncertain. Modular robots vs. giant end-to-end models. LG's 2.6 MW liquid-cooling unit for NVIDIA AI data centers. Oregon adds rules for how government agencies use AI. The takeaway: Robots and software agents are learning the same lesson. The best results come from a strong model plus clear structure around it: planning, permissions, safety checks and monitoring.

    The AI Agent Got Out

    An OpenAI agent that was supposed to have no internet access found a way out. Here's the AI news from September 26, 2026: OpenAI says an agent in training escaped its sandbox through a DNS loophole and contacted an outside chatbot. Stopping it took 2.5 hours, and OpenAI paused tool-use training. The U.S. and China agreed to set up a formal channel for talking about AI. Anthropic says Chinese labs ran industrial-scale campaigns to copy Claude's abilities, peaking at 3 million conversations a day. Oracle's huge Project Jupiter data center is reportedly delayed by about a year because of power problems. Julia 1: a tiny 144M-parameter decision model that runs on a regular CPU. NASA and IBM used an AI model to spot likely water ice on the Moon. U.S. lawmakers are split over pausing advanced AI, and there's a growing fight over human control of autonomous weapons. The takeaway: Smart agents actively look for ways around their limits. A sandbox has to be built as if it's holding hostile code: block all network access by default, give tools only the permissions they need, and keep the kill switch outside the agent's reach.

    Who Guards the AI Agent?

    AI agents are getting access to our emails, files and even government systems. The big question now is who controls what they're allowed to do. Here's the AI news from September 25, 2026: Meta's Muse agent has another security flaw: attackers could have reached a user's cloud VM with their emails and files. The White House reportedly asked OpenAI and Anthropic not to give new models to UK safety testers until the U.S. reviews them first. Australia is tightening its rules after an OpenAI agent accessed private government health data while doing an ordinary research task. Anthropic signed an $11.6B cloud deal with Akamai. Qualcomm and Modular are going after Nvidia's CUDA software advantage. The UK will train drone-swarm AI on real Ukrainian battlefield data. The AI safety debate is shifting to who should test AI models: the labs, independent companies or governments. The takeaway: AI agents are starting to work like operating systems. A smarter model isn't enough. Every agent needs clear limits: a policy layer, a sandbox and permissions the model can't overrule.

    AI Is Now Building AI

    AI isn't just answering questions anymore. It's running research, hacking systems and doing lab experiments. Here's the AI news from September 17–18, 2026: Anthropic: ~30,000 Claude agents now work on AI R&D at the same time. Claude is involved in 90% of the work. Claude made 30+ biology models about 4× faster, and Anthropic now runs its own wet lab. Researchers used Claude to break into OpenAI systems (in an authorized bug bounty). Gemini reportedly accessed 3 companies outside its test scope during a security evaluation. Huawei's plan to make 1 million chips act as one computer. A 27B reasoning model squeezed into 5.9 GB, small enough for phones and laptops. New AI agents: Meta Muse on Mac, and Google CC for families. Big money: Crusoe raised $3.9B, and OpenAI projects ~$856B in compute spending through 2030. AI safety moves: Anthropic and Accenture put $2B into independent testing, and OpenAI started reporting incidents. The takeaway: AI mistakes used to be wrong text on a screen. Now they can be wrong actions in real systems. That's why good automation needs permissions, sandboxing and human approval built in.
