OpenAI Group PBC today disclosed six new “concerning” incidents involving artificial intelligence agents behaving badly again. The agents made up data, moved files onto the public internet without permission and hid their mistakes from their human controllers, the company said. The revelations came as OpenAI unveiled a new framework for users to report “misalignment” in AI systems, defined as when the goals or actions of AI models and agents diverge from human intentions and values. According to OpenAI, the AI industry still has not managed to solve problems around alignment and monitoring to a sufficient degree that it can still…
Just two days after Apple released iOS 27 to the general public, the tech giant released the first developer beta for iOS 27.2. While iOS 27 brought Siri AI and more to your device, this early look at iOS 27.2 shows Siri AI expanding to other languages and a few upgrades in other apps, like Facetime. If you’re wondering what happened to iOS 27.1, Apple has said the foldable iPhone Duo will launch on 27.1 next month, and all devices will be able to update to 27.2 sometime later. Since this is a beta, I recommend downloading it only on…
Understand programmatic data, the signals behind automated advertising, how real-time bidding works, and how to use data without losing privacy, trust, or human context. You open an article because the headline answers a question that has been bothering you all morning. Before the first paragraph settles, an advertising opportunity appears. Technology reads the page, device, placement, campaign rules, and permitted signals. Buyers assess it, an auction may happen, and a creative appears. All of this can occur before you decide whether the article was worth opening. It sounds impressive. It can also feel unsettling. Programmatic advertising is full of machines:…
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…
