Among the measures are the monitoring of technological risks and holding accountable those who cause major losses due to reckless investments.The strategy, presented by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, als

The problem with manual DASTTraditionally, DAST scans were performed late in the development cycle, often by a separate security team. This approach is no longer sustainable for fast-growing tech companies. Manual DAST introduces several significant challenges:Slow feedback loops: When scans are run manually, developers may not receive feedback on vulnerabilities for days or even weeks. By then, the code has moved on, making fixes more complex and costly t

Apple is blocking AI coding apps on the App Store, sparking complaints among AI companies that believe the tech giant’s rules are outdated and draconian, the Financial Times reports. Apple’s resistance here could remain a huge roadblock for the AI industry, as coding tools have become one of the most popular — and potentially profitable — use cases for AI.

Source: Shutterstock US and Chinese AI researchers are calling for global cooperation on the tech, fearing that its unchecked development could lead to an unimaginable catastrophe. “AI is a global technology with global benefits, global harms, and a consistent tendency for new capabilities to eventually proliferate,” Stephen Casper, a computer scientist at MIT who spoke at a major AI conference in Beijing thi

OpenAI has been an industry leader in the large language model space, but competition is tightening with a host of other companies in the fray. After three years of breakneck growth and soaring valuations, the AI industry enters 2026 with some of the euphoria giving way to tough questions. Here is a look at what is at stake: Bubble goes pop? Money is pouring into artificial intelligence, with spending expected to reach more than $2 trillion worldwide in 20

Penetration testing has always existed to answer one practical concern: what actually happens when a motivated attacker targets a real system. For many years, that answer was produced through scoped engagements that reflected a relatively stable environment. Infrastructure changed slowly, access models were simpler, and most exposure could be traced back to application code or known vulnerabilities.That operating reality does not exist. Modern environments

As the AI landscape has expanded to include dozens of distinct large language models (LLMs), debates over which model provides the “best” answers for any given prompt have also proliferated (Ars has even delved into these kinds of debates a few times in recent months). For those looking for a more rigorous way of comparing various models, the folks over at the Large Model Systems Organization (LMSys) have set up Chatbot Arena, a platform for generating Elo

Amazon is trying to win over data center critics with a pledge to be more transparent and invest in the communities where it builds its facilities. But it also warns that if the backlash continues, it could have major consequences for the U.S. Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman said in a blog post Friday that today’s massive data center buildout is similar to the mid-century construction of the nation’s interstate highway system, which helped transform th

A report based on data from OpenRouter, and seen by the Wall Street Journal, shows that OpenAI has made what looks like massive progress in its effort this year to contend with Anthropic’s dominance in coding and productivity—the sort of tasks that involve enterprise customers buying compute on a massive scale. At the beginning of 2026, OpenAI’s share was less than 25%. Last month, it was nearly 50%, according to the report. OpenRouter is a company that au

It is based on watermarks embedded in text and signed provenance metadata. However, the company acknowledges that this system has “its limitations.” Since 2 August 2026, Article 50 of the AI Act has entered into force. Among these new Euro

According to new reporting from the New York Times, the company has for months been wining and dining religious scholars across the world in secret, NDA-secured meetings to convince them that AI models think and feel, too. Anthropic even reportedly went after the most iconic of all religious leaders: the Pope. Christophe

On Friday afternoon, Elon Musk confidently declared to the world that “Saving money for the distant future is pointless with the advent of super intelligent abundance.” Three days later, the same Elon Musk said the cost of running AI was getting a little too steep even for him, and that he needed to start saving a little money. The billionaire appears to have imposed a tighter-than-usual weekly token limit on Grok Bot, the always-on AI agent launched by hi

Kosei Pharmaceutical (Kobe City), which sells the nutritional supplements “Nobilin” and “Nobilin C,” had posted images of social media posts commissioned from third parties on its own website and elsewhere without clearly stating that they were advertisements. The Consumer Affairs Agency and the Fair Trade Commission determined that this constituted a violation of the Stealth Marketing Guidelines and, on June 29, issued an order for measures against the co
