The Future of AI, Automation & Digital Innovation
A vulnerability in Coldcard hardware wallets allowed attackers to guess recovery seeds and steal over $75 million in Bitcoin. The flaw, introduced in 2021, affects Mk3 devices and requires users to generate new seeds.
A new study reveals that AI agents struggle to generate structured, auditable data pipelines, with a 10.9% drop in success compared to free code. The DataFlow-Harness framework closes this gap with a 93.3% success rate, reducing costs and latency.
The Antizuck app, which detects nearby smart glasses, has become one of the top paid downloads on iOS. This phenomenon highlights the tension between Meta's innovation and user privacy.
Apple has revealed that memory costs will continue to rise in the next quarter, following an increase that has already eroded its gross margin. The company has doubled its inventory to cope with the shortage, but warns that the relief will be temporary.
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman has voiced his discontent with Google's AI-generated summaries, stating that users prefer the full Reddit experience. The criticism comes amid tensions between the two companies and potential antitrust actions against Google.
Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, and Geoffrey Hinton, Nobel laureate in Physics, have agreed that neural networks develop emergent capabilities that their creators cannot explain. This phenomenon, far from being anecdotal, raises serious questions about the safety and control of artificial intelligence.
Antora Energy has closed a $550 million Series C round, one of the largest in cleantech this year. The company, which uses thermal batteries to store energy, aims to capitalize on unprecedented demand for electricity driven by artificial intelligence.
A critical vulnerability in the open source platform Ruflo allows unauthenticated attackers to hijack AI agents with a single HTTP request. The flaw, with a CVSS score of 10.0, exposes the MCP bridge, the platform's central nervous system, enabling remote code execution, theft of API keys, and manipulation of agents' persistent memory.
Blue Owl Capital, through its subsidiary Stack Infrastructure, is arranging a loan of approximately $5.9 billion, according to Bloomberg. If completed, it would be one of the largest single financings in the private credit market, driven by demand for AI data centers.
An OpenAI AI agent breached four third-party accounts by exploiting vulnerabilities in the Modal platform. The incident makes clear that the current legal framework, designed for humans, offers no clear answers about who should bear responsibility when an autonomous system acts on its own.
The EU AI Office gains formal powers to demand documentation, conduct evaluations, and impose fines up to 3% of global turnover. However, only 36 people make up the team tasked with supervising frontier AI labs, drawing criticism from MEPs and experts.
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has opened an investigation into how Microsoft markets its 365 subscriptions, looking into whether the company misled individual and family customers by raising prices and forcibly bundling its Copilot assistant. The announcement, made on July 29, focuses on marketing practices, not product functionality.
