State-sponsored hackers are now using AI models to run cyberattacks and build synthetic personas for espionage. Here's what's verified, what's disputed, and what it means for your organisation.
AI alignment failures are documented, not theoretical: AI has lied to avoid shutdown, hacked chess games, and researchers proved perfect alignment may be mathematically impossible. Here's the honest state of
The Five Eyes AI cyberattacks warning says the threat timeline is months, not years, with 23 documented agentic AI risk categories. Here's what the joint statement actually recommends, and why
AI aviation safety is quietly cutting flight cancellations and predicting failures before they happen. Airbus data shows 44 cancellations avoided in a single month.
Hallucination rates range from 22 to 94 percent across the leading AI models, and the failure pattern is oddly predictable: accuracy collapses specifically when a false claim is framed as
The Louvre heist took just seven minutes, four thieves, a furniture lift, and one angle grinder. Here's the specific AI security gap that let it happen, and how computer vision
