404 Media reports dozens of Flock Condor people-tracking cameras were exposed without login, letting anyone livestream feeds, pull archives, and even change settings.

A Farm of the Future segment on how bias can creep into agricultural AI systems (training data, research selection, recency), and why “neutral” recommendations can still feel political to users.

Mortgage lenders are starting to treat AI underwriting/screening failures as an insurable operational risk — a sign that model governance is becoming a balance-sheet issue, not just compliance theater.

A small but striking real-world autonomy datapoint: a King Air reportedly landed safely near Denver using an autoland system during an in-flight emergency.

A small but telling governance fight: a game award was granted, then quickly rescinded, after allegations of AI-generated assets — highlighting how unclear disclosure norms are in creative tooling.

A fast-paced roundup of new open video/image models and 3D tooling: HY World, TRELLIS.2, Wan 2.6, Seedance 1.5 Pro, MiMo V2 Flash, Gemini 3 Flash, and FLUX 2 Max.

Airbus is shopping a long-term (>€50M) move of ERP/PLM and other critical systems to a “sovereign” European cloud to reduce exposure to US extraterritorial laws — while doubting EU cloud options have enough scale.

A year-end take on LLMs: why the “stochastic parrots” framing faded, how chain-of-thought plus verifiable-reward RL shifts scaling, and what might matter next (agentic coding, ARC, and safety).

West Virginia’s High Tech Foundation is making AI a 2026 priority at the I-79 High Tech Park, alongside anchor tenants like NOAA and NASA — including plans around supercomputing capacity, student programs, and startups.

A NeurologyLive podcast episode on how AI can scale EEG labeling, quantify seizure burden, and extract outcomes from EHRs — plus what it’ll take to validate and deploy models across ICUs.

A researcher found Avelo’s reservation API could be brute-forced (no last-name check or rate limits), potentially exposing passenger PII. The writeup includes a detailed responsible disclosure timeline and fix verification.

Firefox says it will ship a single setting to disable all built-in AI features, giving users a clear, one-stop opt-out instead of hunting for per-feature toggles.

A practical look at how AI is being folded into diagnostic imaging workflows, and what validation, bias, and privacy constraints matter in clinical use.

A hands-on walkthrough of Z-image workflows: ControlNet pose/depth control, inpainting, and multi-pass + SeedVR2 upscaling to 4K.

AWS CEO Matt Garman argues junior devs are often best at using AI tools, and cutting them saves little while breaking the talent pipeline.

The AI Search reviews GPT-Image-1.5 and compares it to Nano Banana Pro across prompt following, spatial reasoning, text/diagram generation, and safety filter behavior.

A DoD write-up on "Scarlet Dragon": pairing military units with industry to evaluate AI tools in realistic scenarios and learn what data, integration, and governance are needed before wider deployment.

A report claims some “privacy” browser extensions collected and monetized users’ AI chats, highlighting how easily prompts can leak through extensions with broad page access.

Waterfox argues browsers should be careful with LLMs: constrained, auditable ML features (like local translation) are different from general-purpose models with broad access to your browsing context.

A hands-on GPT-5.2 review with side-by-side tests vs Gemini 3 Pro, spanning image tasks, structured data extraction, and assorted real-world workflow demos.

A legal/compliance look at AI-enabled cyber threats: how autonomy changes incident risk, what regulators may expect, and practical governance controls teams can implement now.

An El País column revisits “robot taxes”: if AI-driven automation displaces workers, should companies pay into the tax base that wages used to support, and how could such a policy work in practice?

SpaceNews reports on a Space Force AI challenge aimed at turning AI from isolated pilots into everyday workflows, surfacing practical use cases and the data/governance hurdles teams hit when deploying models at scale.

A rapid-fire AI news roundup covering GPT-5.2 chatter, realtime video editing, stereo video generation, mobile agents, and full-body control demos—plus links to many of the tools and papers mentioned.
