Zen-AI-Pentest provides an open source framework for analyzing and testing systems using a combination of autonomous agents and standard security utilities. The project aims to enable users to execute an orchestrated sequence of reconnaissance, vulnerability analysis, exploitation and reporting using AI guidance and industry tools such as Nmap and Metasploit. It is written to support…
Today’s most powerful AI tools – those that can summarize documents, generate artwork, write poetry or predict how incredibly complex proteins fold – all rest on the shoulders of the “transformer”. This neural network architecture, first announced in 2017 at a modest conference center in California, allows machines to process information in a way that…

The global race for artificial intelligence (AI) remains one of the most hotly contested areas of international competition. Few would bet on an eventual winner today, but current trends suggest three possible scenarios we should consider. In the first scenario, the AI world is dominated by the United States and China. While the United States…
As AI systems integrate into business processes, organizations face growing AI governance, risk, and compliance needs. In our prior research, we tested AI risks in practice with an AI bias benchmark, finding persistent bias around race, gender, and socioeconomic assumptions in several models. These findings underscore the importance of AI GRC tools, which help continuously…
“Soil health is not an abstract sustainability goal,” says Hunter Swisher. “It’s a systemic strategy to produce what the world needs with the resources we have.” In other words, it’s about working with what nature already provides to produce food, rather than relying on an endless supply of synthetic inputs to get the job done….
Solos Technology has filed a major patent infringement lawsuit against Meta Platforms (NasdaqGS: META) regarding smart glasses technology, challenging Meta’s push into wearable hardware. Chinese regulators are conducting a thorough review of Meta’s proposed $2 billion acquisition of Manus AI, increasing the risk of delays or changes to the terms of the deal. CEO Mark…
Microsoft’s development center in Israel is creating a new Israeli AI Red Team, focused on identifying weaknesses and threats in artificial intelligence systems. The new group will simulate advanced attacks against the company’s AI-based services and operate within Microsoft’s internal security organization. At the same time, Microsoft is recruiting around 50 employees for cybersecurity positions…
AI transforms culture into a production shortcut: faster, cheaper and sometimes familiar. But the Super Bowl is one of the last places where brands are reminded that cultural similarity is easy but that shared experience is earned. This year’s game made that distinction clearer than ever. The ads that got a real reaction weren’t the…
Many believe that the true future of AI in Hollywood lies not in a radical change in the way we produce films and television, but rather in solving problems and creating opportunities currently inaccessible to filmmakers and studios. That was a big part of the conversation during the “AI and Filmmaking: Freeing Space for Creativity”…
