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.
Google is testing "Skills" for Gemini in Chrome, which will allow AI in Chrome to perform tasks automatically, and it could challenge Perplexity Comet or Edge's Copilot mode. [...]
Google Chrome now lets you delete the local AI models that power the "Enhanced Protection" feature, which was upgraded with AI capabilities last year. [...]
OpenAI on Friday said it would start showing ads in ChatGPT to logged-in adult U.S. users in both the free and ChatGPT Go tiers in the coming weeks, as the artificial intelligence (AI) company expanded access to its low-cost subscription globally

OpenAI has confirmed ChatGPT is getting ads in the coming weeks, but it promises that ads won't influence answers generated by ChatGPT. [...]
Analysts Say Pentagon Must Add Guardrails to Musk's Grok in Military SystemsCybersecurity analysts said Elon Musk’s Grok artificial intelligence model lacks compliance with key federal AI risk frameworks, which will likely force the Pentagon to rely on containment measures while conducting adversarial testing and restricting access to prevent unpredictable or unsafe behavior when embedding the model across its systems.
Israeli Startup Novee's Custom AI Agents Mimic Human Attackers to Scale DetectionNovee launched with $51.5 million in funding to build AI agents trained to find and fix vulnerabilities. Its proprietary model combines human-led research, prompt engineering and simulations to offer scalable penetration testing as AI-fueled threats outpace traditional tools.
Also: AI's Push Into Health Data, CrowdStrike's Move to Reshape Competitive MarketIn this week's panel, four editors explored how old threats like digital skimming are evolving, why AI tech's push into personal health data is raising new questions and what CrowdStrike's back-to-back acquisitions say about where cybersecurity competition is heading.
Pacific Northwest National Labs' expert cybersecurity system, ALOHA, can recreate attacks and test them against organizations' infrastructure to bolster defense.
OpenAI is rolling out a big upgrade for ChatGPT with support for advanced chat history search, but the feature is rolling out to Plus and Pro subscribers only. [...]
The "bigger is better" era of AI is hitting a wall. We are in an LLM bubble, characterized by ruinous inference costs and diminishing returns. The future belongs to Agentic AI powered by specialized Small Language Models (SLMs). Think of it as a shift from hiring a single expensive genius to running a highly efficient digital factory. It’s cheaper, faster, and frankly, the only way to make agents work at scale.
Funding at $1.2B Valuation to Propel Federal Market Entry and R&D in GenAITorq secured $140 million in Series D funding at a $1.2 billion valuation to expand its generative AI-powered security operations platform. With backing from Merlin Ventures, Torq will grow internationally, deepen AI research and pursue U.S. federal opportunities including FedRAMP certification.
AI-Powered Axur Brings Digital Risk Protection, 99% Takedown Rate to InfobloxInfoblox is acquiring Axur, a Brazilian leader in digital risk protection, to bolster its preemptive cyberthreat defense.
