Researchers created a new technique that accurately and rapidly matches X-rays captured during surgery with a patient’s preoperative 3D medical scan. This method could make it easier for clinicians to precisely pilot minimally invasive surgical tools, leading to faster and safer procedures.Clinicians perform many minimally invasive surgeries using real-time X-rays to help them steer devices like catheters and endoscopes through tiny incisions. But since X-rays are flat images, it can be challenging to determine exactly where surgical tools are located and oriented within the patient’s body, increasing the risk of complications.To help localize surgical devices, clinicians may manually align X-rays…
Ravie LakshmananSep 16, 2026Vulnerability / Web Security A critical security flaw in Issabel Framework, a web-based framework for the open-source unified communications PBX software, has come under active exploitation. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-89026 (CVSS v3.1 score: 9.8/CVSS v4.0 score: 9.3), which can allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary operating system (OS) commands by taking advantage of a hard-coded JSON Web Token (JWT) signing key. The Issabel Framework “contains a hard-coded HS256 JWT signing key in the pbxapi index.php file that is identical across every installation, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to forge valid bearer tokens,” VulnCheck said…
3 business lessons from Tommy Pang’s F&B rollercoaster You may know Tommy Pang, 29, as the second-gen owner of hawker brand Bai Nian, who has never been shy about airing his family’s business struggles on Instagram. His parents started the original Bai Nian Niang Dou Fu yong tau fu stall in 2013. In 2017, the family expanded into Bai Nian Food Court, an eight-stall food court at ESR BizPark @ Chai Chee, which Tommy now runs alongside his sister as a challenge set by their parents. It bled out about S$250,000 in seven months, but the family’s business woes have…
Battery life has been stellar on the Pro models over the last few years, and that remains true here. The Pro Max is the more notable of the two because it packs a denser battery. With average use (around 5 hours of screen-on time), I hovered around 50 percent by the end of the day, and easily made it through day two on a single charge. I spent a little less time with the smaller Pro, but so far it has also comfortably gotten me through a day with around 40 percent left by bedtime. Safe to say, most people…
The agency model is being rewritten in real time. A growing gap is emerging between those embracing artificial intelligence and those sticking with the status quo. The most forward-thinking agencies aren’t simply adding AI to existing services. They’re reimagining what an agency can be, developing AI-powered systems, expanding into consulting, and finding entirely new ways to deliver strategy, creative, technology, and operations. Below, we explore several emerging agency models and services, along with how they could help your business move forward. Disclaimer: We’re featuring these agencies because they’re all MAICON (Marketing AI Conference) sponsors. They represent some of the interesting…
South Korea wants to make sure autonomous software cannot pull the digital trigger without human sign-off. The Korea Internet & Security Agency, which operates under South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT, told Reuters it is developing version 2.0 of its “AI Security Guide.” The update will address autonomous AI agents operating across software, networks, and physical systems. For IT leaders, the proposal underscores a growing security concern: AI agents can receive credentials, use external tools, modify systems, and initiate actions with limited supervision. Organizations deploying them may therefore need tighter access controls, stronger audit trails, and human approval for…
An artist’s conception shows a mining operation on the moon, including harvesters and a solar power plant. (Interlune Illustration) Seattle-based Interlune has raised $5 million in fresh funding to support a business plan that involves building space infrastructure as well as mining the moon for helium-3 and other valuable resources. The funds were raised through a Simple Agreement for Future Equity, or SAFE, in which investors provide upfront cash to a startup in exchange for shares to be issued during a future priced round. Interlune used the same approach to raise $5 million earlier this year. Interlune said existing and…
Data security company Cohesity Inc. today introduced Cohesity Agent Resilience at its Catalyst conference. The new Cohesity Data Cloud capability backs up the memory and configuration of enterprise artificial intelligence agents so they can be rolled back to a trusted state when something goes wrong. Also on the Catalyst agenda was a plan to automate Cohesity’s five-step cyber resilience framework with agentic workflows, and an early piece of that plan is generally available now. A free course on AI agent risk opens the new Cohesity AI Resilience Academy. Agents inside large companies already query databases and act with privileged credentials, sometimes…
Human behavior is full of idiosyncrasies, whether it is a CEO, a Manager or an executive, people are prone to blunders that can affect livelihoods. A bad call may cause layoffs, and an error may mean the loss of a colleague’s job. The hubris of the human mind is that these things can be avoided with systems. If spreadsheets need to be tracked across globes, over a team of <500k employees, then an ERP would solve that problem. Unfortunately, ERPs lose millions of dollars annually. It’s a meme at this point. And here comes AI, the great saviour, that may…
As it happens, Egami’s interests range widely. Years ago, before the current artificial intelligence craze, he started studying what happens when AI tools are introduced into studies. How accurate are they? How can researchers account for AI tendencies? Focusing on these and other questions has helped Egami build a broad portfolio of research, win awards, and flourish in his career. All the while, he retains interest in basic questions about politics, as well as measuring things correctly. “You need both perspectives,” Egami says. “If you only think about technical statistical theories, you might not work on interesting empirical problems sometimes. But…
