It’s now widely accepted that artificial intelligence will permeate nearly every aspect of our lives. That presents new challenges related to AI threats, enterprise AI management and adapting security programs for an increasingly AI-driven world. What matters most in assessing your risk exposure is to understand what type of AI is being used. There’s a direct correlation: More modern generative and agentic AI can expose us to greater threats. Lack of transparency with gen AI apps makes it more difficult for security teams to get necessary visibility into where potentially sensitive data is going. The convenience and accessibility of AI…

Six months ago, it was going head-to-head with DBS for the title of the most valuable company in the city-state, exceeding US$100 billion in market capitalisation.

For the full year of 2025, Sea generated a net income of S$1.985 billion—which is more than three times what it…
Users caught a look into how Claude really thinks- and it thinks a lot about ASCII capybaras and memory pruning. AI development is transforming industries- and at the very core of where it stems from, it’s changing the coding landscape too. It’s more of a psychological take than a technical one. We assume that software developers need minimal distraction and high-efficiency tools to code. But, agentic development changed that- it’s the rise of the buddy system in engineering circles. Humans write the code, and the “buddy” helps them through soft errors that AI workflows often instill. When Claude’s 512000-line code…
A microchip pet door awaits its fate at the FedEx Office on NW 46th Street in Seattle. (GeekWire Photo / Todd Bishop) For a while now, since the closure of the Amazon Fresh Pickup in Seattle, I’ve been complaining about having to drive across the Ballard Bridge to Whole Foods to do my Amazon returns. So when news emerged that FedEx Office locations are now part of Amazon’s drop-off network, I jumped at the chance to try it. Turns out there’s a FedEx Office on the way to GeekWire HQ, near the PCC on NW 46th Street (across from the…
Remember those moments when a tech giant throws a curveball, only for the underdog to dodge it with style? That’s exactly what just went down with Anything. For those of you unaware, it’s an AI-powered app builder that lets users whip up mobile and web apps using simple text prompts. Anything Last week, Apple yanked the app from the App Store, citing its usual guideline around code execution and keeping apps “self-contained.” The move felt like part of a broader side-eye toward so-called “vibe coding” tools, where building software is starting to feel as casual as texting a friend. Apple…
This week, juries in California and New Mexico dealt a pair of landmark verdicts against America’s social media giants.In Los Angeles, jurors awarded $6 million to a young woman who alleged that Instagram and YouTube had damaged her mental health. A day earlier, a jury in Santa Fe ruled that Meta had designed its social media platforms in a manner that harmed minors — and ordered the company to pay $375 million in recompense.These decisions constituted a breakthrough for a legal movement that sees social media companies as the new “Big Tobacco” — an industry that knowingly peddles harmful and…
It’s smaller and more portable than the brutish Move, yet large enough to sound much fuller than the pint-sized Roam. It can sit fixed on its charging cradle to rival the homebound Sonos Era 100, or follow you anywhere. In other words, it’s the epitome of Sonos versatility, and now that it’s working properly, it’ll be hard to pass up.Play OnOpening the Play’s brown cardboard packaging feels equal parts Scandi minimalism and sustainability, in line with recent releases like the Arc Ultra soundbar. Inside, a white acoustic wrapping gives way to a stout tubular speaker with a rubberized loop attached,…
More than 50,000 tech employees have lost their jobs so far this year. Asked why, most will say the same thing: artificial intelligence.Not because AI rose up and destroyed their workplaces, but because it assumed many of their responsibilities. And AI doesn’t draw a salary.So far this year, more than 50,000 tech workers have lost their jobs, and employers say AI tools are making it easier to cut staff.While layoffs began last year, companies have accelerated the process in 2026 by relying on AI to replace workers in roles such as software testing and customer service, according to employers.The trend…
Chipmaker Hailo Technologies Ltd. is reportedly preparing to list its shares through a merger with a special-purpose acquisition company. Calcalist revealed the plan today, citing regulatory filings from Hailo investor Delek Automotive. The offering is reportedly designed to shore up the chipmaker’s finances amid an “urgent need for liquidity.” Hailo laid off nearly 10% of its workforce in January and took out a $9 million loan around the same time. The company, which makes artificial intelligence chips for connected devices, was worth $1.2 billion in 2024. Delek’s regulatory filings indicate that the planned stock listing will reduce Hailo’s valuation to…
