They acknowledge gaps in their defenses and recognize the vulnerabilities that could cripple their mission-critical systems. ...
The AGI debate is misguided. The bigger potential is Enterprise General Intelligence
Silicon Valley’s debates over the viability of human-like artificial general intelligence overlook the likelihood that true superintelligence won’t emerge in our phones but in enterprise systems. The race for AGI is heading in the wrong direction. Today’s foundation models, impressive as they are, remain fundamentally reactive. They are sophisticated autocomplete systems that respond to prompts ...

Security practices must evolve to battle growing deepfake sophistication
A few years ago, deepfakes were a novelty — something relegated to Reddit threads and face-swap memes. Now, they’re tools in the arsenal of cybercriminals, paired seamlessly with large language models to deliver personalized attacks that are as scalable as they are convincing. The sophistication lies in the handoff: Large language models generate nuanced, context-aware dialogue ...
