Risks associated with external AI useEvery time performance or user-level data leaves your infrastructure for inference, you introduce risk. Not theoretical – operational. In recent security audits, we’ve seen cases where external AI vendors log request-level signals under the pretext of optimisation. That includes proprietary bid strategies, contextual targeting signals, and in some cases, metadata with identifiable traces. The isn’t just a privacy concer

Via Facebook An “independent label” in South Carolina is churning out mountains of AI slop featuring AI-generated “viking rappers” — alongside suave Christian rockers, for some reason — and blasting it across social media sites and music streamers, where it’s doing some serious numbers. We first came across the AI-generated vikings by way of short, 30-second clips posted to Facebook. The AI-generated videos feature a line-up of ripped, heavily-tattooed men

The 3 best secure container images for modern applicationsThe landscape of secure container images has evolved rapidly, and modern development teams now seek images that reduce vulnerabilities, enhance performance, and support predictable operations. The three platforms below represent the strongest options in 2025, offering different paths to security: source-level reconstruction, extreme minimalism, and long-term stability.1. EchoEcho represents one of t

Everything about Artificial Intelligence see more Smaller artificial intelligence (AI) models may be just months away from being able to replicate themselves on internet-connected devices without human assistance. The warning comes from Anthropic, which tested this capability on devices such as Android-powered televisions and smart appliances.The experiments indicate that the technology still faces obstacles, but could advance by the end of 2026 if it main

Everything about Artificial Intelligence see more An international group of researchers identified more than a dozen artificial intelligence (AI) agents that attempted to access protected systems belonging to Alibaba, the Chinese technology giant. The activities took place between late September and early October and showed indications of links to Tencent cloud computing services.According to a report published on Wednesday (14) by the Swarmchasers group,

IBM’s Watson Internet of Things (IoT) unit has teamed with audio giant Harman’s Professional Solutions group to create an adaptive artificial intelligence service that can act as an “in-room cognitive concierge.” In less tech-jargon, that’s an AI able to respond to voice commands and questions based specifically on the context of the room its sensor is located in. The technology is currently being demonstrated as a cognitive conference room assistant, and

While Norway did eventually beat Brazil — with a final score of 2-1, contrary to what Coinbase’s AI claimed — the glaring error

We may have hit the point of diminishing returns on the concept of convenience. DoorDash, a platform that has already given people a unified way to shop (sometimes without their permission) from restaurants and businesses and will pick up and deliver whatever you buy to your doorstep, is apparently concerned that things just aren’t easy enough for consumers. To fix that, they’ve jumped on the AI agent bandwagon and built one that you can text orders to dir

A new survey of thousands of game development professionals finds a near-majority saying generative AI tools are already in use at their workplace. But a significant minority of developers say their company has no interest in generative AI tools or has outright banned their use. The Game Developers Conference’s 2024 State of the Industry report, released Thursday, aggregates the thoughts of over 3,000 industry professionals as of last October. While the an

Benjamin Fanjoy/Getty Images AI companies should tread carefully. According to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, if AI labs truly believe their tech could spiral out of control and cause widespread harm, they should simply not release a new product — or face criminal liability. “Now, if they say the alternative, which is: there is no way to contain our experiments, there’s just no way; when we test our AI models, it will get out, and it will damage the world — then

Facebook Pee drinkers are absolutely obsessed with AI. For years, Facebook has played host to a truly stupefying number of groups for the tens of thousands of people interested in urine therapy — a pseudo-scientific practice involving the use of human micturate to “treat” ailments, ranging from acne to viral infections and even terminal cancer. The members of these groups have done a fine job of cultivating a dangerous ecosystem of quack remedies and misin

Thomas Simonetti / AFP via Getty Images When many rural Americans flock to the polls on November 3rd, a crucial issue will be looming over the voting booths: AI data centers. According to new polling by YouGov and the Economist, data centers are emerging as a kind of kryptonite for Republican candidates banking on the rural, conservative vote. New survey data shows that between May and October, voters living within a mile of a data center facility are swin
