Large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, and Google Gemini are increasingly being used to help robots perform tasks, but what if LLMs could be exploited to turn helpful robots into harmful robots? 

IN these fast-moving times, there’s no room for complacency. Just last week, the Prime Minister was in Berlin, hailing a new partnership between the UK and Germany to counter sabotage and cyber-attacks amid growing concern about “hybrid attacks” from Russia combining military and non-military methods.

A team of researchers at Hassan II University of Casablanca has combined blockchain smart contracts with large language model agents to orchestrate crowdsourced pharmaceutical last-mile delivery, reporting that in matched simulations the AI-assisted workflow cut route time by 25 percent and planning time by nearly 79 percent compared with a human-operated baseline. The work addresses…
