I first noticed it when, a few months ago, I opened an email from Ian, my literary agent. Before I’d had a chance to read anything he’d written, Gmail was recommending a full, fleshed-out, AI-generated reply, ventriloquizing ideas for a book and even my feelings about the job transition I’d recently made. It had mined my inbox to infer why Ian was writing to me and ingested bits of my style, even signing off with the lowercase “m” that I use with people with whom I have an easy familiarity.For around a decade, Google had been suggesting very generic, sometimes…

The world’s top AI research conference, the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems—better known as NeurIPS—became the latest organization this week to become embroiled in a growing clash between geopolitics and global scientific collaboration. The conference’s organizers announced and then quickly reversed controversial new restrictions for international participants after Chinese AI researchers threatened to boycott the event.“This is a potential watershed moment,” says Paul Triolo, a partner at the advisory firm DGA-Albright Stonebridge who studies US-China relations. Triolo argues that attracting Chinese researchers to NeurIPS is beneficial to US interests, but some American officials have pushed for American and Chinese…

Enterprises want to move beyond AI experimentation, but most still struggle to bridge the gap between promising proofs of concept and production-ready cloud-native AI platforms. The challenge is compounding as AI workloads converge with cloud-native infrastructure. European services company ITQ Consultancy B.V. is tackling that challenge head-on, using an AI-powered robot dog named Q9 to demonstrate what a full cloud-native AI platform can do when it is assembled the right way, according to Johan van Amersfoort (pictured, left), chief evangelist and AI lead at ITQ. With Red Hat Inc.’s OpenShift under the hood, Q9 is less a demo prop and more…

Proteins are far more than nutrients we track on a food label. Present in every cell of our bodies, they work like nature’s molecular machines. They walk, stretch, bend, and flex to do their jobs, pumping blood, fighting disease, building tissue, and many other jobs too small for the eye to see. Their power doesn’t come from shape alone, but from how they move. In recent years, artificial intelligence has allowed scientists to design entirely new protein structures not found in nature tailored for specific functions, such as binding to viruses, or mimicking the mechanical properties of silk for sustainable materials.…

Hybrid environments combine on-premises data centers with public cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP. This creates complex east-west traffic and north-south flows where advanced cyber threats hide in encrypted tunnels. Fidelis Network® addresses this challenge with patented Deep Session Inspection (DSI) technology. DSI captures communication sessions across monitored network segments, recursively decodes nested protocols, data, and extracts network forensic evidence for hybrid networks.DSI reconstructs communication sessions and unpacks layered protocols like HTTP-over-TLS-over-SMB. This reveals digital forensic artifacts such as embedded files, C2 commands, stolen credentials, and metadata trails that are ready for incident responses and investigations.

Every marketer in 2026 is fighting for attention in a sea of AI noise, but only a handful of specific SaaS tools actually make human connection possible. Stop posting garbage. The internet is full of AI slop. Your followers see it. They ignore it. They want real stories. They want a human connection. You cannot fake authenticity in 2026. But you still have a business to run. You cannot spend ten hours a day on TikTok. You need leverage. You need a SaaS stack that does the heavy lifting. This allows you to focus on the creative soul of your…

When was the last time you saw a time travel movie and thought, “That’s new!”? Yeah, it’s been a while for me, as well. Which is why I’m extra excited about Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, the new gangster crime comedy that hit Hulu on Friday. If you’re like me and feel the need to veg out in front of the TV to some ridiculous ultraviolence, I suggest you give this movie a shot. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it does mash up a whole assortment of genre references into a fun, self-aware crime comedy that, at times,…

A new exploit kit for Apple iOS devices designed to steal sensitive data from is being wielded by multiple threat actors since at least November 2025, according to reports from Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG), iVerify, and Lookout. According to GTIG, multiple commercial surveillance vendors and suspected state-sponsored actors have utilized the full-chain exploit kit, codenamed DarkSword, in distinct campaigns targeting Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Malaysia, and Ukraine.  The discovery of DarkSword makes it the second iOS exploit kit, after Coruna, to be discovered within the span of a month. The kit is designed to target iPhones running iOS versions between…

Apple just revealed Liminal, and it already looks like a serious contender for its next big sci-fi movie. With a clear sci-fi hook and recognizable names attached, this is the kind of announcement that’s easy to get invested in early. The project comes from Apple Original Films and pairs Vanessa Kirby with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in leading roles. It’s directed by Louis Leterrier, who’s known for keeping stories fast and visually sharp, which already hints at a more kinetic kind of sci-fi than Apple usually leans into. Some key details are still missing, including a release timeline and production start.…
