OpenAI has partially halted the development of its new AI model Astra. According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the reasons for this action are security concerns associated with the technology.

According to DER SPIEGEL, there are fears that Astra possesses critical capabilities in the area of cybersecurity and could potentially autonomously conduct attacks on highly secure targets. These serious concerns led OpenAI to temporarily suspend the project.
