The cost of defending enterprise networks against AI-powered attackers just became a central battleground for the biggest names in artificial intelligence. On Monday, Microsoft unveiled a cybersecurity-specific model and an autonomous defense platform that the company says can outperform frontier systems from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI while consuming roughly half the compute budget. The new […]

A privacy gap in Anthropic’s conversation-sharing feature briefly turned user chat histories into publicly searchable documents over the weekend, exposing everything from medical records to cryptocurrency wallet keys. The issue came to light when a Reddit user discovered that typing `site:claude.ai/share` into Google returned pages of other people’s Claude conversations. Because the share feature generates […]

China has crossed a semiconductor milestone that many industry analysts considered years away. A state-affiliated company based in Shanghai has begun mass-producing immersion deep ultraviolet lithography machines, the advanced tools used to etch circuit patterns onto silicon wafers, according to reports from The Information. The unnamed manufacturer aims to deliver five units this year and […]

With the EU AI Act now in force, organizations that develop or deploy AI systems face a thicket of new legal obligations covering transparency, risk management, documentation, and human oversight. A new academic survey suggests most of them are not ready to meet those requirements – and that the gap between legal text and verifiable […]

AMD has thrown down a marker in the high-performance computing GPU market, announcing the Instinct MI430X with a single headline specification: 288 TFLOPS of native FP64 floating-point performance. That figure places the chip at more than eight times the double-precision throughput of Nvidia’s next-generation Vera Rubin GPU, according to AMD’s own projections. The MI430X is […]

The tech industry’s response to autonomous AI attacks is taking shape as a coalition of more than 40 companies, led by Nvidia and joined by Microsoft, SpaceX, IBM, CrowdStrike, and Palantir, announced the formation of the Open Secure AI Alliance on Monday. The group’s founding premise is that closed, proprietary security models leave defenders at […]

Google has introduced a new account authentication method that allows users to upload a video selfie to its servers and later use a fresh video selfie to log in or recover access. The system compares the two recordings using facial recognition algorithms, offering an alternative to passwords, security keys, or backup codes. But the feature […]

Microsoft is pursuing one last legal avenue to block the resale of pre-owned software licenses in the United Kingdom, seeking permission to appeal to the Supreme Court after losing at both the Competition Appeal Tribunal and the Court of Appeal. The case, which began as a GBP 270 million competition claim by license reseller ValueLicensing, […]

AMD laid out an aggressive server CPU roadmap at its Advancing AI 2026 event in San Francisco, announcing that the upcoming Zen 7 architecture will power three distinct EPYC processor families rather than a single monolithic lineup. The move reflects how fundamentally AI workloads are reshaping the server chip market, where one architecture no longer […]

A team of researchers has introduced a new computer vision paradigm called time-reversed imaging, which aims to reconstruct past human-environment interactions from the residual physical traces those interactions leave behind. The work, published as a preprint on arXiv, asks a question that sits at the intersection of physics, computer vision, and generative AI: can a […]
