While tech titans at Salesforce Inc.’s Dreamforce event in San Francisco this week engaged in a spirited debate over whether the pace of deployment for artificial intelligence should be slowed, a group of high-powered tech experts were meeting at the same time about an hour’s drive south to describe how they were building AI’s infrastructure as fast as possible. At the AI Infra Summit in Santa Clara, technologists from companies such as Amazon Web Services, Oracle, Broadcom, Qualcomm and d-Matrix, outlined how they were hard at work to optimize infrastructure for the ever-increasing demands of AI. The challenges surrounding the…

In the midst of RAMageddon price hikes and AI doomsday claims, I bring soothing news: A tiny new feline species has been discovered, the first in over 100 years, and it’s amazingly adorable. According to a study published in the Current Biology Journal on Thursday, the spry little feline, who looks ready for a drink out of a nice, heated cat water fountain, is called Leopardus tilcayo and hails from the cloud forests of the Bolivian Yungas in South America. You may know Leopardus from other American cat species, like the ocelot and colocolo. The discovery was made from a…

A critical vulnerability in Check Point’s Security Management and Log Servers could allow an attacker without login credentials to run code as root on those servers over the network. The Security Management Server is the system that controls firewall policy and administrator access. Check Point has released a fix through its LivePatch update channel and says it has no indication that the flaw has been exploited.Check Point told The Hacker News that the vulnerable path runs only through the Trusted Clients setting, which controls which hosts may connect to the management server through SmartConsole. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-91843 and…

Trust in AI has declined drastically, and regulations are tightening. But businesses continue to treat AI governance as a mere document. To keep up, they must pivot. Leadership has a baseline understanding that it needs to govern AI. Because a majority of time, someone writes a policy. The policy gets approved, uploaded to a shared drive, and circulated via a company-wide email. Someone ticks a box somewhere in a compliance tracker. It’s the ‘after’ that truly matters. The AI systems continue to be built and deployed precisely the way they were before the policy existed. This is not what is…

China does not appear ready to slow the development of increasingly powerful AI. Instead, it is building rules intended to keep autonomous systems under tighter control while development continues. That approach is becoming clearer as Beijing develops safety standards for AI agents and emphasizes controllability in emerging systems. It contrasts with a growing U.S. debate over whether frontier-model capabilities should advance more slowly so safeguards have time to catch up. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently pushed that debate further by calling for slower improvements to frontier AI capabilities. But the disagreement is increasingly about more than speed: it is about…

Hello, Cyber Builders 🖖Last year, AI in cybersecurity advanced quickly. GPT-5 was the first model to show practical cybersecurity skills, analyzing and acting on real use cases. Claude 4.5 followed soon after.GPT-5 Is Around the Corner. Stop Treating AI Like a Threat—Hire It.Claude 4.5 and the Maturity Moment for Cybersecurity AIWith GPT-6 now released, it is time to review what has changed since then. I’ve built a timeline from 2023 to 2026 of all model releases with their cybersecurity capabilities.What matters most? I reviewed all the releases and their statements on cybersecurity. The timeline with details and links is at…

35-year-old Soup Restaurant has swung from highs and, most recently, losses For more than 30 years, Soup Restaurant has been a familiar name in Singapore’s dining scene. Many Singaporeans would recognise it for its double-boiled soups, home-style Cantonese dishes and, perhaps most famously, its Samsui Ginger Chicken. The business began in 1991 with a single Chinatown shophouse, six staff and six dining tables.  Today, the company behind it, Soup Holdings Limited, is listed on the Singapore Exchange and runs 15 outlets across Singapore and Malaysia, alongside two franchised outlets in Indonesia, as well as central-kitchen operations, sauce distribution and a…

The semi-annual “holiday” has outperformed both Black Friday and Cyber Monday in…

Saad Nadeem, co-founder of Seattle startup Local Crew. (Photo courtesy of Saad Nadeem) Saad Nadeem doesn’t have any professional background in home improvement. But like any self-respecting weekend warrior, his experiences as a homeowner have taught him some valuable lessons. The biggest lesson, perhaps, was to create his own startup to solve his problems. Nadeem is co-founder and CEO of Local Crew, a newly launched Seattle startup designed to make it easier to find laborers, assess bids, and hire a professional to perform everything from yard work to house repairs. “Even for straightforward projects, I had to contact several pros,…

AI governance now has to account for systems that perform work rather than merely assist employees. That shift is especially relevant for Workiva Inc., which operates in reporting, audit and compliance workflows where errors carry serious consequences. As companies introduce AI agents into finance and other regulated functions, plausible output is no longer enough. Businesses must be able to trace information, identify approvals and reconstruct the actions an agent took on their behalf, according to Krista Case (pictured, left), principal analyst at theCUBE Research. “We need to understand things like where did this information and where did these insights come…
