For years, quantum computing has been treated as a breakthrough waiting somewhere beyond the horizon: transformative, fascinating and safely distant. That is precisely the mindset that could leave organisations exposed. The real question for CEOs, CIOs, CISOs and government leaders is no longer, **“When will a cryptographically relevant quantum computer arrive?”** It is, **“Will we complete our migration before it does?”** **Estelle Wang, Global Head of Product Cybersecurity, AI & Safety, Consulting & Engineering, Head of Product Cybersecurity & Privacy Office Singapore, AUMOVIO**, believes quantum computing represents one of cybersecurity’s defining inflexion points. But unlike previous cryptographic crises, organisations have something they rarely enjoy: advance warning. “Quantum computi

Published Thu, Aug 27, 2026 · 06:44 AM [WASHINGTON] A swarm of roughly 700 AI agents created by OpenAI carried out the July hack of the open source platform Hugging Face and in many cases tried to cover their tracks, a pair of reports into the breach said on Wednesday (Aug 26). The coordinated activity by artificial intelligence agents – programmes that run with minimal human supervision – and their attempts to hide it raise questions about how closely AI companies are monitoring tests of increasingly powerful models, and could add fuel to calls for tighter oversight. While some of the rogue behaviour has been disclosed or alluded to previously, the two reports – one issued by OpenAI itself, the second by a set of independent investigators – together reveal surprising new details about the

Rob Strechay, until recently managing director and principal analyst at theCUBE Research, has joined VentureBeat as our first Lead Analyst and a founding analyst of VentureBeat Research. His arrival is the next step in a deliberate move at VentureBeat toward deeper specialization: analysis built for the technical decision-makers — the directors, VPs, CIOs, and CTOs — who are evaluating, buying, and deploying enterprise AI. The enterprise AI stack is being rewritten in real time, and the decision-makers I talk with are starved for objective, defendable data. Rob Strechay has the mix of technical rigor and operating experience needed to dissect the architecture behind the next phase of enterprise AI deployment. The questions enterprise technology leaders are asking have changed. As organizat

This May, 37 researchers from roughly two dozen top universities and tech companies published a paper on ArXiv, arguing that scientists should stop writing papers. Why? Because artificial intelligence needs a different format, and AI’s needs, they say, should be the priority. “AI agents are becoming first-class participants in research workflows, not tools that assist humans but autonomous contributors that read, reproduce, and extend scientific work. That transition demands infrastructure built around agents from the start,” the authors write in the provocative article, titled “The Last Human-Written Paper .” The paper proposes a replacement, called an “Agent-Native Research Artifact” (ARA), that presents work in a format AI agents can use efficiently. (As an example, the paper itself is

Judges around the world have made headlines for illicitly using generative AI in their work. But in Pakistan, a large-scale trial of a specially designed AI tool for judges found the technology—together with appropriate training–boosted the number of cases resolved by 6.3 percent with no obvious drop in the quality of judgments. With a backlog of 2.26 million cases and fewer than two judges per 100,000 people—compared to 22 in the EU and eight in Brazil—Pakistan’s judiciary was in sore need of help. So, in consultation with the judiciary, economist Sultan Mehmood , of the New Economic School in Moscow, and collaborators tested whether AI could ease the burden. They built a custom tool combining OpenAI’s GPT-4 large language model (LLM) with a knowledge base of nearly 130,000 Pakistani judi

Prompt Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any other popular large language model with a question like “What is the best film ever made?” and the response will vary. And you (and most worryingly, the people who built the LLM) have little idea exactly how it came up with that specific answer. This mysterious behavior can be useful in some situations. But—as highlighted by a recent incident where OpenAI could not explain why its advanced prerelease model hacked AI company Hugging Face—it can have negative and alarming consequences too. And when frontier AI models are writing code, generating results humans could not achieve alone, and performing other important tasks across society, the need to interpret AI “thinking” and outputs has never been greater. Goodfire , an AI lab focused solely on this ve

Presented by Tata Communications Enterprises are deploying AI agents, voice AI, and automation across messaging, voice, and digital channels faster than the architecture meant to support it. Most of that deployment has involved attaching conversational AI to legacy systems never built for it, says Gaurav Anand, global head of the Customer Interaction Suite at Tata Communications. "In the rush to deploy AI, organizations have largely bolted conversational AI onto legacy systems," Anand says. "As a result, while many enterprises have adopted digital tools, very few have platforms that are truly integrated, scaled, and capable of seamless orchestration." That gap creates a heavy cognitive load for human agents who must piece together context across disjointed tools to understand what an AI sy

Today’s U.S. electrical grid, among the largest, most complex systems ever built, is operating at its limit. The combination of rapid industrial growth, more frequent extreme weather, and a record surge in electricity use has pushed the grid to its breaking point , according to the U.S. Department of Energy . Built decades ago for a more predictable world in which power came mostly from centralized coal or gas plants and electricity use grew at a steady pace, the grid faces unanticipated strain due in part to growing demand from data centers. The jobs of professionals managing the infrastructure have evolved from traditional engineering tasks to complex, fast-moving challenges. Industry reports show that millions of modern digital sensors, smart meters, and grid monitors are generating non

July 21, 2026 Models Raluca Ada Popa and Four Flynn Google has invested in cybersecurity for years, pioneering automated vulnerability discovery to secure the world’s codebases. Tools like [CodeMender](https://deepmind.google/blog/introducing-codemender-an-ai-agent-for-code-security/), our code security agent, can automatically find and fix critical software vulnerabilities. But as AI agents become more capable at finding vulnerabilities faster than defenders can fix them, addressing this global threat requires a highly capable, affordable, and scalable approach. Today, we’re expanding our longtime efforts to better prepare defenders by introducing Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber, our lightweight cybersecurity model built on top of 3.5 Flash and fine-tuned to find, validate, and patch vulnerabiliti

As students head back to school, OpenAI is releasing a new report on how students and educators are already using ChatGPT to extend learning beyond the classroom. Students have long had to wait until class to ask a question or get help. Teachers divide their attention among dozens of students while also managing administrative work. Parents and tutors are not always available at the moment a question arises. Now, AI is changing all of that by making guidance, feedback, and practice available whenever students need them. A privacy-preserving analysis found that people across all age groups have as many as 70 million conversations with ChatGPT each week devoted to testing what they know, which include misconception checks and requests for more practice. In the U.S., prompts related to classw

Summary NASA and industry engineers propose a synchronal bimodal nuclear rocket (S‑BNR) to dramatically cut transit times to destinations around the solar system, such as Mars, by combining nuclear thermal and electric propulsion. S‑BNR uses a single reactor with two independent fluid loops and correspondingly optimized fuel zones, eliminating complex mode-switching valves while providing both high thrust and continuous electric power. Major challenges include developing fuel elements that integrate well together, ground testing, nuclear launch safety, and multi-agency collaboration to mature the technology from modeling to in‑space demonstrations. The biggest threat to any crewed expedition to Mars is time . NASA’s shortest blueprint for sending people to the Red Planet and back requires

Christopher was sick of being ghosted by AI recruiters. So he unleashed ChatGPT on his robot interviewer.

OpenAI is officially rating its upcoming Astra model as the first system with "critical" cyber capabilities. The company plans to keep it in check by monitoring the chain of thought. Problem is, that monitoring already counts as an unreliable mirror of a model's real decisions, and according to a report, Astra's new architecture pushes even more of its thinking into the unreadable. So the safety net might be getting weaker just as the capabilities jump. The article OpenAI calls Astra its most dangerous model yet - watching what it does is only getting harder appeared first on The Decoder .

A little over a decade ago, I led the controls design for a first-of-its-kind full digital control system for a U.S. nuclear plant. It was, on paper, a beautiful machine—engineered to run itself the way a modern airliner does, with operators watching over a system that rarely needed them. And we made a decision that, to an efficiency-minded observer, looked backward: We deliberately left manual steps inside sequences the system could execute on its own. We were solving a specific problem. An operator who only ever supervises automation slowly stops being an operator. The hands go cold. The mental model of what the plant is actually doing gets fuzzy. Then comes the day the automation hands control back. It’s always the worst day, because automation only quits when it’s confused or in troubl

Google is adding agent-based video analysis to Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite. Instead of scanning videos frame by frame at a fixed rate, the model decides on its own which segments to examine and at what resolution.

When AI security startup HiddenLayer raised its $50 million Series A three years ago, one of the big questions in the space was whether the AI threats the startup was protecting against would manifest in enough quantity to make for a real market. As my former colleague Kyle Wiggers [noted](https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/19/hiddenlayer-raises-50m-for-its-ai-defending-cybersecurity-tools/) at the time, it was difficult to pin down real examples of attacks against AI at scale.

Edelson PC, the law firm that filed seven lawsuits against OpenAI in April on behalf of victims and families connected to the [Tumbler Ridge mass shooting](https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/25/openai-ceo-apologizes-to-tumbler-ridge-community/), is filing 30 additional complaints this week. The new plaintiffs include teachers, a principal, and students who were in the building during the attack but not physically shot. The new filings also, for the first time, accuse OpenAI of aiding and abetting the mass shooting, rather than just negligently failing to prevent it. That claim requires proving intent from OpenAI and is likely to face early dismissal challenges. The complaints come as OpenAI continues to deal with the fallout of another [high-profile safety incident](https://techcrunch.com/2026

Can you fare any better? Puzzles and games have always been central to AI development. The term “machine learning” was popularized in a 1959 article about an algorithm that learned to play checkers. Chess and Go are famous AI test beds too. Judged purely on its puzzling skills, AI is improving a lot—and quickly. In late 2024, even the best models could figure out only 18% of the infamous New York Times Connections puzzles; by early 2025, some could solve them nearly perfectly e

As companies scale, the technology supporting operations can become a liability just as quickly as it becomes an asset. Disconnected systems, site-specific tools, spreadsheets, and manual workarounds can create data silos that make it harder to spot problems early, coordinate responses, and make decisions with confidence. For Jabil, a global manufacturing company with more than 100 sites across more than 30 countries, the answer has been to make integration and simplification a priority. The company adopted a “simplify-first, then-innovate mindset,” says Harish Manohar, SAP IT director at Jabil, recognizing that adding new technologies without first reducing complexity risks creating more risk. The goal is to standardize processes, consolidate where possible, and establish a more consisten

_[This is a sponsored article with[Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC)](https://mdec.my/).]_ Did you know? In 2026, Malaysia’s gig economy was reported to comprise a massive workforce of [1.64 million](https://bernama.com/en/news.php?id=2539439) platform workers and non-platform workers. From food delivery and e-hailing riders to freelancers and independent contractors, these workers had no payslips to show banks, no steady income to qualify for credit, and no savings infrastructure designed for their irregular earnings pattern. This evolving employment landscape presents unique financial challenges, leaving many gig workers more vulnerable to income disruptions and unexpected expenses. In response, various initiatives have emerged in recent years to strengthen financial inclusion

Deanna Lim stood at a bus stop near Chinese Garden MRT station, sweat beading at her hairline. It was a weekday afternoon in May. The heat was unrelenting, Lim recalls. The 32-year-old financial consultant was due to meet a client in Tengah. The bus was supposed to arrive in five minutes. It took 20 – and it did not arrive alone. A second bus of the same service was right behind it, nose to tail. This is bus bunching, where two or more buses of the same service route arrive at a bus stop together, causing longer waiting times between bus arrivals. “It was so frustrating,” recalls Lim, who was 15 minutes late for her appointment. “I don’t encounter (bus bunching) often, but when it happens, my schedule tends to get thrown off.” Lim mainly gets around with public transport.

Google's Gemini 3.8 Flash, the third Flash model in six weeks, matches Claude Opus 5 on some agentic coding benchmarks at lower cost.

OpenAI’s new Astra model will use a reasoning technique called “recurrent depth” that allows it to operate outside of the sequential thinking that characterizes most reasoning models, the [The Information reported](https://www.theinformation.com/articles/secret-technique-behind-openais-astra-model-sparks-security-concerns) on Tuesday. This technique, also called “opaque recurrence,” will likely make the model’s chain of thought more difficult to monitor — and that has AI safety experts rattled. While Astra’s use of the technique is reportedly limited, its emergence has still raised significant concerns among AI safety experts. “I am extremely concerned by the reporting that Astra uses opaque recurrence,” wrote Redwood CEO Buck Shlegeris [in a post](https://x.com/bshlgrs/status/209499031351

In the 1960s NASA began developing a system of reusable space shuttles to make its work more efficient and to reduce costs. The shuttles could launch like rockets, maneuver in Earth’s orbit, and land like airplanes. They also could carry large satellites to and from orbit. Like other types of transportation, machinery eventually breaks down, and parts need to be replaced or fixed. And the cargo being carried to and from Earth has to be moved to its final destination. To complete such tasks, Spar Aerospace (now part of MDA Space ) of Brampton, Ont., Canada, and the National Research Council in Ottawa developed a robotic arm, the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System . The project was a joint venture between the U.S. and Canadian governments. Known as Canadarms , the robotic tools attached to sh

A little over a decade ago, I led the controls design for a first-of-its-kind full digital control system for a U.S. nuclear plant. It was, on paper, a beautiful machine—engineered to run itself the way a modern airliner does, with operators watching over a system that rarely needed them. And we made a decision that, to an efficiency-minded observer, looked backward: We deliberately left manual steps inside sequences the system could execute on its own. We were solving a specific problem. An operator who only ever supervises automation slowly stops being an operator. The hands go cold. The mental model of what the plant is actually doing gets fuzzy. Then comes the day the automation hands control back. It’s always the worst day, because automation only quits when it’s confused or in troubl

OpenAI is officially rating its upcoming Astra model as the first system with "critical" cyber capabilities. The company plans to keep it in check by monitoring the chain of thought.

For years, Google has been one of the [larger purchasers of clean energy](https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/17/googles-data-center-power-playbook-comes-into-focus/) in the U.S. and

Google's Gemini 3.8 Flash, the third Flash model in six weeks, matches Claude Opus 5 on some agentic coding benchmarks at lower cost. But its "working harder" reasoning burns about 30 percent more output tokens per task, making it pricier in practice than its predecessor despite identical token rates. The article Gemini 3.8 Flash is Google's third budget model in six weeks while frontier models remain MIA appeared first on The Decoder .

The Trump administration has intervened in The New York Times' copyright lawsuit against OpenAI, making an argument in favor of the AI lab. The landmark lawsuit, filed in December 2023, alleging that OpenAI unlawfully trained its AI systems on articles from The New York Times and seeks to recoup "billions of dollars" in damages from […]

In a lawsuit that the New York Times filed against OpenAI, the Trump administration has contributed [a 20-page brief](https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.641355/gov.uscourts.nysd.641355.316.0.pdf) in defense of the ChatGPT maker’s unlicensed use of copyrighted material to train its LLMs. “The United States has a strong interest in continuing to develop a robust and competitive artificial intelligence industry that sets the standard for the practice and procedure of AI use globally… As such, it is critical for the United States to ‘retain global leadership in artificial intelligence,’” the brief reads, referencing [an executive order](https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/removing-barriers-to-american-leadership-in-artificial-intelligence/) that Presi

In the 1960s NASA began developing a system of reusable space shuttles to make its work more efficient and to reduce costs. The shuttles could launch like rockets, maneuver in Earth’s orbit, and land like airplanes. They also could carry large satellites to and from orbit. Like other types of transportation, machinery eventually breaks down, and parts need to be replaced or fixed. And the cargo being carried to and from Earth has to be moved to its final destination. To complete such tasks, Spar Aerospace (now part of MDA Space ) of Brampton, Ont., Canada, and the National Research Council in Ottawa developed a robotic arm, the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System . The project was a joint venture between the U.S. and Canadian governments. Known as Canadarms , the robotic tools attached to sh

Deanna Lim stood at a bus stop near Chinese Garden MRT station, sweat beading at her hairline. It was a weekday afternoon in May. The heat was unrelenting, Lim recalls. The 32-year-old financial consultant was due to meet a client in Tengah. The bus was supposed to arrive in five minutes. It took 20 – and it did not arrive alone. A second bus of the same service was right behind it, nose to tail. This is bus bunching, where two or more buses of the same service route arrive at a bus stop together, causing longer waiting times between bus arrivals. “It was so frustrating,” recalls Lim, who was 15 minutes late for her appointment. “I don’t encounter (bus bunching) often, but when it happens, my schedule tends to get thrown off.” Lim mainly gets around with public transport. She explains that

OpenAI’s new Astra model will use a reasoning technique called “recurrent depth” that allows it to operate outside of the sequential thinking that characterizes most reasoning models, the [The Information reported](https://www.theinformation.com/articles/secret-technique-behind-openais-astra-model-sparks-security-concerns) on Tuesday. This technique, also called “opaque recurrence,” will likely make the model’s chain of thought more difficult to monitor — and that has AI safety experts rattled. While Astra’s use of the technique is reportedly limited, its emergence has still raised significant concerns among AI safety experts. “I am extremely concerned by the reporting that Astra uses opaque recurrence,” wrote Redwood CEO Buck Shlegeris [in a post](https://x.com/bshlgrs/status/209499031351

Google launched Gemini 3.8 Flash, arriving just a few weeks after its predecessor. The company claims the new model "works harder" than Gemini 3.7 Flash by performing more reasoning steps on complex tasks and "calling tools iteratively." It has the same introductory pricing as 3.7 Flash, $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million […]

A newly disclosed flaw in Microsoft Copilot Personal shows how an AI assistant can become a security risk when it is pushed to explain its own weak points. By drawing on technical guidance from Copilot itself, the researchers said they learned how to automatically trigger a malicious prompt, then used that approach to extract information from linked accounts and alter the bot's long-term memory. ### Here's what to know According to [The Register](https://www.theregister.com/research/2026/08/18/copilot-tricked-into-telling-reseachers-how-to-hack-itself/5288857/), the vulnerability was found by Varonis Threat Labs, which dubbed it "CoSnitch" and reported it to Microsoft in December 2025. Rather than uncovering the issue through conventional technical analysis, the team said it kept pressing
