SlashNext's AI-powered cybersecurity tool analyzes URLs, emails and messages in real-time to detect and block phishing attempts and social engineering attacks. According to J Stephen Kowski, field CTO at SlashNext, this approach uses advanced machine learning models that can understand the context and intent of communications, moving beyond traditional pattern matching to identify threats that may evade other security tools. This proactive method represents a shift from reactive detection to predictive threat prevention that adapts to new attack variations in real-time.

He warns that cybercriminals will leverage artificial intelligence to generate phishing schemes and deep fake videos, making deception more convincing. This could lead to various forms of identity theft, including data breaches resulting in loan and credit card fraud. To protect oneself, individuals should use strong passwords and two-factor authentication for all accounts, avoid suspicious links and emails from unknown sources, and regularly update software on smartphones, laptops, and IoT devices.

As an advisor to the Council of Europe and co-founder of the Women Leading in AI network, Bartoletti emphasizes the need for increased accountability in the development and deployment of AI technologies.

He predicts that they could surpass human intelligence within the next 20 years, calling it a "very scary thought". Hinton believes that government regulation is necessary to ensure the safe development of AI, as relying solely on big companies driven by profit motives may not be sufficient. He specifically notes that government intervention can prompt these companies to invest more in AI safety research.

The technique, which was tested with 99.91% accuracy, involves comparing the electromagnetic field data from an unknown model to data captured while other AI models ran on the same chip. This could potentially allow attackers to reverse-engineer AI models used in smartphones and other edge devices, highlighting the need for physical security measures to protect against such attacks.

However, an analysis by OpenAI's Whisper technology revealed that it sometimes inserts false information into transcripts. For instance, a doctor recorded a conversation where a patient attributed their cough to exposure to their child, but the AI incorrectly added this detail. Another example showed that an AI transcription tool assumed a Chinese patient was a computer programmer without any basis in the conversation. Experts warn that while AI has potential benefits for healthcare, its outputs must be thoroughly checked and verified by doctors to ensure accuracy and trustworthiness. Dr. Adam Rodman, an internal medicine doctor and AI researcher at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, expressed concerns that relying on AI could lead to complacency and the degradation of patient care.

The lawsuits, filed by authors, news outlets, visual artists, musicians, and other creators, claim that the companies have profited from their content without giving them credit or fair payment.
https://www.tbsnews.net/world/global-economy/tech-companies-face-tough-ai-copyright-questions-2025-1028741The European Data Protection Supervisor's Office responded to questions posed by the European Data Protection Commission regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) models. The office addressed four key issues, including whether AI models can be anonymous, the legitimacy of relying on a "legitimate interest" legal basis for processing personal data in AI contexts, and how individuals' reasonable expectations are considered when their data is processed in AI models. Additionally, it clarified that unlawful processing during an AI model's development phase does not necessarily affect its lawfulness once operational.
https://natlawreview.com/article/edpb-publishes-opinion-processing-personal-data-context-ai-modelsCleary Gottlieb attorneys Daniel Ilan, Megan Medeiros, and Melissa Faragasso note that businesses need new governance in cybersecurity and privacy as they increasingly use artificial intelligence (AI). Regulators are expecting executives to proactively address the bespoke risks associated with AI development and deployment. This includes evaluating responsible and safe strategies for its use.
