An Nvidia-backed trial demonstrates that AI data centers can flexibly adjust power use in near real time. This suggests that hyperscalers can reduce consumption as necessary, ensuring the grid isn’t overloaded during peak demand, with global implications for energy consumption.
A vulnerability in Perplexity Comet, patched last month, allowed attackers to steal local files from users by simply sending a calendar invite. The AI browser left local files open, exposing them to security risks.
Recent research demonstrates how large language models (LLMs) can identify users behind pseudonymous accounts on social media with surprising accuracy. This raises serious concerns about privacy and the possibility of doxxing and detailed user profiling.
A high-severity vulnerability has been discovered in Google Chrome. Malicious extensions could exploit the Gemini Live AI panel to gain unauthorized privileges, compromising the security of the underlying operating system. The exploit allowed extensions to bypass the browser's normal security restrictions.
At Mobile World Congress 2026, AI-native networks ceased to be a future vision. Announcements from vendors, chipmakers, and operators showcased field trial results, commercial product launches, and coalitions to build 6G on AI-native foundations. Nvidia, Nokia, and Ericsson are leading innovation with dedicated platforms and silicio. SK Telecom and SoftBank are rebuilding infrastructures with AI.
AI data centers are reshaping the power landscape, with increasing adoption of 800V DC architectures and solid-state transformers. This evolution is crucial for managing the high power demands of GPUs and optimizing energy efficiency.
Averse to macOS upgrade nag screens? A simple local configuration profile can convince your Mac that upgrading is against policy, banishing those upgrade prompts for a few months.
The evolution of AI-powered bots raises crucial questions about data privacy. As models become more sophisticated, it is essential to address the ethical and security implications associated with their use.
In Palo, Iowa, the establishment of data centers raises concerns among residents, despite the adoption of strict zoning regulations. Concerns relate to the environmental and community impact, in an area already marked by previous flooding.
A security researcher at the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) explains how to detect phone interception technologies, such as IMSI-catchers (also known as Stingrays), which simulate cell towers to track phone locations, intercept calls and messages, and in some cases, install malware. Rayhunter, an open source tool for detecting these threats, is presented.
Huawei unveils solutions for agentic networks, anticipating a future where AI agents manage network connections. The company released Agentic Core and promoted A2A-T, an open-source protocol for multi-agent collaboration in telecommunications, aiming to standardize interactions between AI agents and reduce system integration times.
The escalation of tensions in the Middle East, with visible repercussions in Dubai's Jebel Ali Port, is causing significant disruptions to technology infrastructure, retail operations, and automated transportation services in the region. AWS, Apple, and Robotaxi services are among the most affected.
At MWC 2026, Huawei unveiled an AI computing platform designed to simplify the creation and management of the infrastructure required for AI services. The solution promises faster build times for data centers, tools for cluster optimization, and AI model adaptations, covering 90% of common enterprise use cases. This initiative reflects the growing focus on AI within the telecommunications sector.
The increasing demand for compute resources for artificial intelligence is driving data center operators towards regions with abundant and low-cost energy, such as those near the Arctic Circle.
At MWC 2026, SK Telecom outlined an "AI Native" strategy involving a complete overhaul of its IT infrastructure, expansion of data centers to gigawatt scale, and upgrading its large language model to over one trillion parameters. The goal is to position Korea among the world's top three AI powers.
Taiwanese electronics firms are showcasing their latest innovations in AI-driven connectivity and 5G infrastructure at MWC 2026. The focus is on solutions that integrate AI to enhance the performance and efficiency of next-generation networks.
Nvidia is collaborating with major telecom carriers to define the 6G infrastructure. The initiative focuses on open and AI-native platforms, with the aim of accelerating innovation and the development of new applications in the next-generation telecommunications sector.
The second weekly release candidate of Linux 7.0 is now available for testing. Linus Torvalds expressed concern about the increasing size of the kernel, urging developers to optimize code to reduce bloat.
A developer has created a UEFI application that boots directly into an LLM chat interface, bypassing the operating system and kernel. The entire stack, from the tokenizer to the inference engine, is written in C without external dependencies. Currently, performance is limited, but the goal is to improve efficiency and enable networking to serve smaller models locally.
Despite a ban imposed by President Trump, the U.S. utilized Anthropic's artificial intelligence tools, including Claude AI, for intelligence assessments, target identification, and combat simulations during airstrikes in Iran. The Pentagon had previously expressed security and supply chain concerns related to the company.
