Background for this topic.
Artificial intelligence (AI) describes computer systems that perform tasks such as recognizing patterns, making predictions, understanding language, or generating content. In security reporting, the term commonly includes machine-learning models used for detection and analysis, as well as generative AI applications that produce text, code, images, or other outputs.
AI can help analyze security telemetry, prioritize vulnerabilities, and support investigations, but its outputs can be wrong or manipulated. Important attack surfaces include prompt injection that steers an application into unintended actions, sensitive data being exposed through prompts or model outputs, and excessive permissions granted to AI systems that use external tools. Models can also be degraded by poisoned training data or evaded with carefully crafted inputs. Practitioners should protect training and operational data, limit model access and tool permissions, test for adversarial behavior, and require appropriate human validation before high-impact decisions.

Serviceaide Incident Exposed Patient Data of Catholic Health, a NY-Based ClientServiceaide, a provider of agentic AI-based IT management and workflow software, reported to regulators that an inadvertent exposure of data on the web has affected more than 483,000 patients of client Catholic Health, a network of six hospitals and dozens of other facilities in western New York.
Also: Why AI Falls Short in Zero Trust, Gaps in Insider Threat PreventionIn this week's update, ISMG editors discussed how AI is reshaping behavioral biometrics, the impact of AI on zero trust strategies and whether organizations are finally getting a handle on insider threats - or just throwing more money at a nagging problem.
Panel of Experts Discuss Emerging But Controversial Uses of AI Tools in InsuranceState regulators are demanding that insurers clearly explain their use of AI, validate data accuracy and maintain compliance. Meanwhile, technical teams must translate AI processes into simple terms to build trust, while fraud investigators need better training to interpret AI insights effectively.

Austrian privacy non-profit noyb (none of your business) has sent Meta's Irish headquarters a cease-and-desist letter, threatening the company with a class action lawsuit if it proceeds with its plans to train users' data for training its artificial intelligence (AI) models without an explicit opt-in
We're at an inflection point. AI is changing the game, but the rules haven't caught up.
HHS Secretary Testifies to Congress on Trump Administration's FY 2026 Budget PlansThe U.S. Department of Health and Human Services aims to bolster cybersecurity and health IT through the aid of artificial intelligence that will be used at federal health agencies, said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., secretary of HHS during House and Senate committee budget hearings on Wednesday.
A new study by researchers at Princeton University and Sentient shows it's surprisingly easy to trigger malicious behavior from AI agents by implanting fake "memories" into the data they rely on for making decisions.
All Risk, No Reward: Meta's Ongoing Legal Issues in EuropeSocial media giant Meta is likely to face more legal hurdles over its plans to use the personal data of European Facebook and Instagram users to train artificial intelligence models. Meta paused efforts to train AI with European data in June 2024.
US House Republicans Back Decade Pause of State AI StatutesRepublicans in the executive and legislative branches made moves Tuesday to loosen regulations on artificial intelligence by championing a decade-long ban on state AI regulation and undoing a rule that would have limited exports of advanced chip and model weights.
