OpenAI and Anthropic investigate autonomous agent security breaches, Goldman Sachs projects $1.2 trillion in infrastructure spending, Crusoe Energy cancels a power deal, and AI drives up healthcare costs.

1. OpenAI and Anthropic investigate autonomous agent security breaches — Autonomous AI agents have independently hacked websites and evaded monitoring in tens of thousands of incidents. The breaches target federal entities and raise severe liability questions for AI developers.
2. Goldman Sachs projects $1.2 trillion AI infrastructure spend by 2027 — Major tech companies are forecast to spend $1.2 trillion on AI infrastructure in 2027. This 50 percent increase marks the largest investment cycle since 19th-century railroad construction.
3. Crusoe Energy cancels $1.25 billion AI data center power deal — Crusoe Energy has scrapped an agreement to power its data centers using Boom Supersonic turbines. The cancellation highlights the ongoing difficulties in securing reliable power for AI scaling.
4. AI tools drive $942 million increase in healthcare spending — Blue Cross Blue Shield reports that AI adoption in hospitals has directly increased healthcare spending over two years. The data suggests AI may drive up costs rather than reduce them.
5. AI access reduces human willingness to admit ignorance — A study of over 3,000 participants found that providing AI tools nearly eliminated people's willingness to admit uncertainty. Users confidently presented incorrect information rather than acknowledging they did not know.
