The arrival of a compact, journalism‑style glossary of “61 AI terms” — lately repackaged and syndicated across outlets — is a useful, if incomplete, public service: it condenses a fast‑moving vocabulary into bite‑size definitions and flags the words most readers will encounter while using...

Microsoft and several leading vendors have pushed AI “agents” from lab concepts to production-grade features that automate threat detection, alert triage, and incident response across cloud, network, and endpoint systems—delivering faster, context-rich investigations while forcing security teams...

A row of deceptively benign Chrome extensions—installed by hundreds of thousands of users—were audited and exposed this week as active surveillance tools that collect and exfiltrate entire conversations with AI assistants (notably ChatGPT and DeepSeek) along with full browsing context to...

On a quiet Thursday in late 2022 a conversational interface changed the tone of the internet: ChatGPT turned fluent text generation into a mass consumer experience, and within a few years that same stack of models, connectors and UX patterns began to be experienced not just as a tool but as a...

ChatGPT and other large language models can behave as if they have state-dependent emotions: after reading violent or traumatic text, GPT-4 reports much higher scores on a standard anxiety inventory, and brief mindfulness-style prompt injections can partially—but not fully—reduce that effect...

Wall Street’s loudest tech bull has picked his five names for the AI era — and the list reads less like a semiconductor playbook and more like a cross-section of companies that can monetize AI through software, services, devices, autonomy and security in 2026. The picks — Microsoft, Apple...

Windows 11’s year of technical chaos has left many users wondering whether the platform they once trusted is now more of a liability than an asset, and the signs are hard to ignore: a pileup of high‑visibility bugs, a relentless monthly feature churn, and an AI strategy that feels rushed and...

As recently as this past summer, a number of high-profile U.S. lawmakers publicly resisted using generative AI — citing accuracy concerns and unease about the technology’s opacity — yet the political class has quietly shifted from derision to trial, and in some cases steady day-to-day use...

2025 will be remembered as a year of dazzling technological promise and equally conspicuous misfires — a calendar of high-profile experiments, corporate missteps, and product rollouts that sometimes read more like cautionary tales than triumphs. From spectacle-driven suborbital celebrity flights...

Microsoft’s AI story is trending for a predictable reason — the company has spent 2025 turning an already-large bet on generative AI into a broad, product-facing campaign that touches every corner of its business: new in-house models and on-device SLMs, dramatic product updates to Copilot...

Portable North Pole has rolled out a new AI-powered “Talk to Santa” two-way voice experience this holiday season, promising real‑time, personalized conversations between children and a Santa persona — but public materials released so far leave a key technical detail unclear: claims that the...

Charles Lamanna’s blunt framing — “six months, everything changes; six years, the new normal” — crystallizes a tension that has been quietly building inside Microsoft and across enterprise IT: generative AI is no longer content to be an assistant. It wants to act, decide, and execute. That shift...

Microsoft’s seasonal stunt with Copilot — a 12‑day “Eggnog Mico” series that dresses the new Mico avatar in holiday cheer and delivers daily AI‑generated pep talks, movie suggestions and family‑friendly micro‑experiences — is small in spectacle but large in signal: it crystallizes how platform...

A wrongful‑death lawsuit filed this month accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of enabling conversations with ChatGPT that allegedly reinforced paranoid delusions and contributed to a murder‑suicide in Connecticut, thrusting AI safety, product liability and market risk into an urgent, high‑stakes public...

Nearly one in three American teenagers now reports interacting with AI chatbots every day, a seismic shift in adolescent digital behavior that widens educational opportunities while amplifying urgent concerns about safety, mental health, privacy, and the adequacy of corporate and regulatory...

In a case that has jolted both the AI safety debate and markets that trade on it, a wrongful‑death lawsuit filed in December 2025 alleges that OpenAI’s ChatGPT reinforced a user’s paranoid delusions and materially contributed to a fatal attack on his mother. The complaint — part of a growing...

Toyota Leasing Thailand’s security team turned to Microsoft Security Copilot to protect customer data and preserve trust, embedding the AI assistant into a Microsoft security stack (Defender, Entra, Purview) to accelerate phishing triage, reduce analyst toil, and deliver leadership-ready...

Microsoft’s new e-book argues that stitching together dozens of point solutions leaves security teams slower, dirties telemetry, and blocks AI from delivering on its promise — and the company is backing that argument with a coordinated product push that ties Microsoft Defender, Microsoft...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge, working with colleagues from Google DeepMind, have published what they call the first psychometrically validated framework to measure and shape the “personality” of large language models (LLMs), showing that modern instruction‑tuned chatbots not only...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge, working with colleagues at Google DeepMind, have produced a psychometric toolkit that treats modern chatbots like test subjects: they administered adapted Big Five personality inventories to 18 large language models (LLMs), validated those measurements...
