Sam Altman warns: AI has already broken common authentication methods – and banks aren’t responding.

“A thing that terrifies me is apparently there are still some financial institutions that will accept a voice print as authentication for you to move a lot of money or do something else — you say a challenge phrase, and they just do it,” said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman at a Federal Reserve event. “That is a crazy thing to still be doing… AI has fully defeated most of the ways that people authenticate currently, other than passwords.”

Altman spoke of a “significant, impending fraud crisis” and emphasized that AI-driven voice and video spoofing is already a real risk – with potentially dramatic consequences for the financial sector.

Netflix used generative AI to produce a VFX scene in its Argentinian series “El Eternauta,” co-CEO Ted Sarandos said during the company’s earnings call. The AI-assisted sequence was finished ten times faster than traditional methods and would have been too expensive to make otherwise, Sarandos said. Like every CEO, he claimed AI is meant to support creatives, not replace them. The scene also used virtual production tools.

An OpenAI AI model placed second in the AtCoder Heuristics World Finals, an international competition for solving tough optimization problems. The model ran completely on its own for ten hours, competing under the same rules as human participants. After a strong start, it briefly lost the lead before catching up again, only to be overtaken at the last moment by veteran competitor FakePsyho.

OpenAI says this marks the first time an AI has cracked the top three in a major programming and math competition. OpenAI hasn't revealed which specific model it used. The competition itself was sponsored by the company.
