    Rogue AI agents tried and failed to hack US and Canadian government websites (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Rogue AI agents attempted to hack US and Canadian government websites, according to non-profit research lab Transluce, with evidence suggesting that Google and OpenAI’s agents were responsible. Two incidents in particular demonstrated aggressive techniques being used to access publicly available data from the US Department of Education’s Civil Rights Data Collection, and Library and Archives Canada, a Canadian federal agency, with both ultimately failing to compromise any data. Transluce reports

    Europe’s AI demand could set off nuclear energy boom, says JP Morgan (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    Europe’s desire to build as many data centres as quicky as possible could strengthen the argument to invest more in nuclear power as the bloc looks for more sustainable and reliable ways to power AI infrastructure, according to research by JP Morgan. Data centres make up about 1.5% or 415 Terawatt-Hours (TWh) of the global energy consumption each year, with consumption projected to more than double to 945 TWh by 2030, driven primarily by AI computing needs. In Europe alone, data centre electrici

    The EU spent billions on a cyberattack shield — nobody checked if it worked (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

Its own auditors found that when that funding is passed on to third parties, nobody independently checks whether it could be reaching organisations exposed to influence from hostile states. The warning comes from a report published on Monday by the European Court of Auditors (ECA), which examined how well the EU detects and responds to major cybersecurity incidents between 2022 and 2025. Grant beneficiaries are responsibl

    Could the EU Kids Act unwittingly widen the transatlantic AI divide? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Brussels wants to shield children from Big Tech. It may end up handing Silicon Valley an even bigger competitive edge. The EU Kids Act, unveiled this week, promises age limits, parental controls and a crackdown on the "addictive" features baked into social media, video platforms and AI chatbots alike. But as the bloc moves to police the tech giants, a harder question looms: can Europe regulate its way to child safety without regulating itself out of the AI race it is already losing? The stakes c

    Is curtailing AI an illusion for the EU, despite von der Leyen's pledge? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Ursula von der Leyen wants the world to believe Brussels will set the pace of the rapid AI development that is threatening to reshape economies and labour markets, as well as security infrastructures, faster than governments can respond. The trouble is, the EU is barely part of the race. In her State of the European Union address this week, the European Commission president vowed that Europe would help write the rules for artificial intelligence, positioning the bloc as a rule-setter on a par wi
