EU’s “chat control” proposal: Mass surveillance disguised as child protection
The EU’s proposed Child Sexual Abuse Regulation (CSAR) mandates automated scanning of all private messages, emails and chats, effectively instituting government-backed mass surveillance while framing it as “voluntary” compliance for tech companies. The law would force platforms like WhatsApp and Signal to scan encrypted messages, undermining privacy. Worse, it requires mandatory age verification (government IDs, […]

Congress pushes “algorithmic accountability” bill that threatens free speech under guise of safety
A new bill claims to hold Big Tech accountable but forces platforms to preemptively censor “controversial” content (vaccine risks, election integrity, COVID origins) or face lawsuits under a vague “duty of care” standard. Platforms using recommendation algorithms (Facebook, X, YouTube) lose legal immunity unless they suppress speech that could later be blamed for “harm,” incentivizing […]

Revolutionary light-based AI computer outperforms traditional electronic chips
The Parallel Optical Matrix-Matrix Multiplication (POMMM) system performs entire AI computations in a single pass of light, eliminating sequential bottlenecks of electronic chips (GPUs/TPUs). Unlike power-hungry electronic processors, POMMM leverages optics to drastically reduce energy consumption by avoiding electronic data transfers—future implementations could outperform silicon chips by orders of magnitude. Using wavelength multiplexing, POMMM handles […]

Belgium’s anti-drone police unit stood by while drones shut down airports, embassy says
A string of drone incursions at Belgian airports and military bases revealed major gaps in the nation’s defenses, as its specialized 30-officer C-UAS unit was not deployed. Despite having detection antennas, jammers and net-launchers, the C-UAS unit remained idle during incidents, partly due to limited awareness among authorities of its existence and role. Belgium sought […]

Ukraine and Russia accelerate robotic warfare as manpower crisis deepens
Both Ukraine and Russia are rapidly shifting to unmanned and robotic systems to compensate for heavy troop losses and dwindling public support. Ukraine is deploying thousands of robotic platforms – including mine-clearing UGVs and mobile anti-aircraft launchers – with a goal of fielding about 15,000 by 2025 to offset manpower shortages. In Ukraine, drones and […]

Lawmakers debate the future of AI and online privacy with new GUARD Act proposal
Sen. Josh Hawley raised alarms about AI chatbots posing a threat to children, while Sen. Richard Blumenthal emphasized the need for stronger tech regulation, particularly to protect kids from harmful AI interactions. The proposed GUARD Act aims to regulate AI chatbots by requiring companies to verify the age of users before granting access, ensuring children […]

AI’s role in policing: A new era of efficiency or inequality?
Law enforcement worldwide is increasingly employing AI tools—such as predictive policing algorithms and automated surveillance systems—to anticipate crime hotspots, identify suspects and monitor behavior. Predictive policing systems like Chicago’s “HeatList” have been used to allocate resources, but critics warn they can reinforce existing racial bias embedded in historical crime data. Facial recognition and automated surveillance […]

AI generated phishing scams now undetectable, fooling 9 out of 10 adults — experts warn of “unprecedented threat”
AI-powered phishing is now so convincing that 91 percent of adults in tests were fooled into thinking scam messages were legitimate. Attackers use generative AI (both proprietary and open-source) to craft personalized, dynamically adaptive messages based on public data and victim responses. Phishing attacks delivering credential-stealing malware spiked by 84 percent year over year, with […]

AI-designed EVASIVE pathogens raise biosecurity alarms — experts warn of “pandemic-level” threats undetectable by current screening
The study shows that AI-designed viral genomes—engineered for infectivity and immune evasion—slip past commercial DNA screening tools, undermining current safeguards. Because AI can reconfigure genes in novel ways, dangerous sequences without obvious similarity to known pathogens go undetected by signature-based filters. Even stringent screening systems used by DNA synthesis companies and advanced protocols (e.g. iGEM) […]

YouTube tightens access: Users are now required to prove their age after AI flags them as under 18
YouTube is expanding the use of an AI?based age estimation system, resulting in some users being locked out of content until they verify their age via official ID. The system, first tested in Europe, is now active in the U.S., using signals like viewing history, search activity and account age to infer whether a user […]
