Microsoft’s own documentation for Windows 11 now contains an unusually blunt security caveat: the new experimental “agentic” AI features that let the OS act on your behalf are powerful, but they also create novel attack surfaces that administrators and consumers must treat as security decisions...

Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu’s offhand social post about a startup’s bizarre email exchange — a pitch that spilled a rival bidder’s price, then an immediate follow-up apology sent by a “browser AI agent” that bluntly said “I am sorry I disclosed confidential information… it was my fault as the AI...

When Google released Gemini 3 on November 18, 2025, the headlines celebrated technical leaps in reasoning and multimodality — but the more consequential story for IT and security leaders is structural: AI is shifting from a tool companies use to the layer the business runs on, and Gemini 3 Pro’s...

Microsoft's Research team has quietly pushed a milestone in on-device AI: Fara-7B, a 7‑billion‑parameter agentic small language model (SLM) built to see webpages and operate a PC by predicting mouse and keyboard actions, and it’s now available as an open-weight research artifact for hands‑on...
