It’s not every day that the cybersecurity news cycle delivers a double whammy like the recently uncovered “Inception” jailbreak, a trick so deviously clever and widely effective it could make AI safety engineers want to crawl back into bed and pull the covers over their heads.

South Korea’s breakneck AI transformation is less a sci-fi spectacle than a remarkably pragmatic and inclusive masterclass in deploying next-generation tech at a national scale. While the rest of the world juggles doom-prophecies and utopian daydreams, Korea appears to have read the (Microsoft)...

The days of treating AI like an overhyped digital vending machine are officially over—at least according to Microsoft, who has an impressive knack for naming things and, apparently, for peering into the future of work. Their freshly-baked “Work Trend Index 2025” doesn’t mince words: 2025 isn’t...

The first time you realize your job description has quietly shapeshifted from “creative genius” to “editor-in-chief of whatever the algorithm spits out,” you might, as Microsoft’s Jon Friedman notes, feel a certain dramatic tension. And make no mistake, “dramatic” is the mood in Redmond these...

Once upon a time, the business world trembled at the mere mention of “disruption.” Then came digital transformation, promising slick workflows, fleets of cloud servers, and enough dashboards to make your eyes water. Now, Microsoft is ringing in a newer, even shinier era: the rise of the...
