With the release of Meta’s buzzy Muse AI agent, there’ve been plenty of concerns over the amount of privacy and control Meta wants you to cede so it can serve as your “personal assistant. It seems that even its own employees are worried. Before launching the AI agent, engineers found a security vulnerability that could’ve […]

The adoption of AI agents in millions of organizations is creating new opportunities for attackers to make them take malicious actions, such as exfiltrating database contents and sensitive business and personal information. In the past five months, Google and four other organizations—with little in common except for their use of AI agents—have acknowledged vulnerabilities that

Meta’s platforms have become an abominable cesspit of AI slop, ranging from violent child abuse to ultra-patriotic engagement bait. We could go on and on about Meta’s dismal failure to moderate its platforms. More telling is where it does focus its efforts: the company apparently has set its sights on the LGBTQ community after censoring

AI data infrastructure must support growing GPU clusters while making enterprise data usable for models and agents. NetApp Inc. is tying intelligent data infrastructure to production AI through a unified approach to storage and data management. Fragmented data and governance designed around manually applied policies can prevent enterprises from realizing returns on AI investments, according

AI trust increasingly determines whether enterprise AI scales. As organizations move beyond pilots and put models and agents into operational systems, the question is no longer whether AI performs well in isolation. Enterprises also have to determine whether the infrastructure, data and applications underneath it can withstand cyberattacks, data integrity failures and operational disruption. That

Sovereign storage is becoming an architectural and operational consideration for European enterprises as they invest in AI, modernization and cyber resilience. Sovereignty now covers much more than where data is physically stored. Customers want to know who operates and manages it, where support is based and what telemetry is collected, according to Willem Hendrickx (pictured), senior

As bipartisan backlash against Flock grows, some cities are asking anti-surveillance advocates and media outlets to pay eye-popping fees—including charging tens of thousands or even millions—to get information about how police departments are using and potentially abusing AI-enabled camera systems that track every vehicle that passes them. On Monday, the Texas Tribune reported that city

Cable lobby groups notified the Federal Communications Commission that they will sue the agency to block its controversial repeal of the National Television Ownership Rule, which limits the number of broadcast TV stations a single company may own. The cable groups said that larger broadcast TV station groups will have leverage to demand higher retransmission

A surge in Russian jet-powered drone strikes on Ukrainian data centers has increasingly disrupted mobile phone and Internet services for thousands of people. Now Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other government officials are warning of the need for more air defense capabilities, as such telecommunication outages could threaten Ukraine’s digital economy and undermine the country’s

Over decades of research, scientists have built up a partial picture of what specialized cells within the brain and spinal cord do. By studying how the brain develops, they could identify genes that were active in different populations of neurons and where in the brain those neurons resided. In some cases, these genes could then
