Cybersecurity agencies from the Five Eyes alliance are warning organizations to be careful with agentic AI, especially when these systems are connected to sensitive data or critical systems. Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence tools built on large language models that can plan steps, make decisions, use external tools, and carry out actions with limited human supervision. While these systems can help automate tasks and improve productivity, government cyber agencies

As artificial intelligence becomes deeply embedded in modern economies, governments and businesses alike are confronting a growing challenge: how to balance innovation with control. Across the United Kingdom and Europe, concerns over dependence on foreign AI providers—particularly those based in the United States—are accelerating efforts to establish what is increasingly referred to as “digital sovereignty.” Recent developments, ranging from corporate contingency planning to

Anthropic’s new AI model, Mythos, is quickly becoming one of the most closely watched developments in technology because of what it could mean for cybersecurity, banking, and the wider global economy. Introduced earlier this month as the company’s most advanced model yet, Mythos was built for defensive cybersecurity tasks, but experts say its capabilities go well beyond normal threat detection. Anthropic has said the model uncovered thousands of major vulnerabilities across m

Vercel is investigating a major security incident that shows how a breach at one company can quickly ripple across the wider tech industry. The company said attackers gained unauthorized access to certain internal systems after compromising Context.ai , a third party AI tool used by one Vercel employee. That access reportedly allowed the attacker to take over the employee’s Vercel Google Workspace account through OAuth permissions and then move into some Vercel environments,

Lovable.dev is under growing pressure after multiple reports described a serious security flaw that may have exposed thousands of older projects to anyone with a free account. The issue reportedly affected projects created before a November 2025 cutoff and allowed unauthorized users to access full source code, database credentials, AI chat histories, and even live customer data. Researchers said the flaw was a Broken Object Level Authorization problem, meaning the platform c

Anthropic has introduced one of the most unsettling developments in artificial intelligence this year with Claude Mythos Preview, a model the company says is too dangerous for public release. Instead of launching it broadly, Anthropic has decided to keep Mythos off the market because of its extraordinary cybersecurity capabilities. The company says the model is so effective at finding severe software vulnerabilities that it could become a powerful tool for cybercriminals, spi

Artificial intelligence is transforming how companies operate, but it is also creating new cybersecurity challenges. A recent incident involving global consulting firm McKinsey highlights how rapidly evolving AI technologies can introduce unexpected vulnerabilities. Researchers from cybersecurity startup CodeWall revealed that they were able to hack McKinsey’s internal AI platform, called Lilli, exposing millions of internal messages and sensitive system information. Although

A recent incident involving DoorDash has drawn widespread attention after a driver allegedly used an AI-generated image to falsely claim a delivery, raising new concerns about how emerging technologies can be misused on gig economy platforms. The situation came to light after Austin resident Byrne Hobart shared his experience on X, describing how a DoorDash driver accepted his order, immediately marked it as delivered, and submitted what appeared to be an AI-generated photo

Amazon Web Services is undertaking one of its largest government focused technology projects to date, announcing a plan to invest 50 billion dollars to build high performance AI and supercomputing infrastructure designed specifically for U.S. federal agencies. The initiative aims to vastly expand the government’s access to AWS’s advanced AI tools, creating the first purpose built AI computing environment engineered across AWS Top Secret, AWS Secret, and AWS GovCloud regions

MTN Group’s milestone of reaching 300 million customers has become the backdrop for a transformative new collaboration with Microsoft, designed to expand access to artificial intelligence–powered tools across Africa. The partnership aims to make advanced digital capabilities, particularly Microsoft 365 and its AI assistant Copilot, widely accessible to learners, young professionals, and small businesses across the continent, supporting Africa’s shift from basic connectivity t

Sprinto, a global leader in governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) automation, has introduced an innovative suite of artificial intelligence capabilities that redefine how organizations manage compliance. Announced in San Francisco, the launch positions Sprinto as a pioneer in creating a truly autonomous GRC system, setting a new benchmark for intelligent and self-driving compliance ( Newswire.ca ; The Globe and Mail; PR Newswire). At the heart of this update is Sprinto’s AI
