The long-running fallout from the LastPass data breach continues. The ICO has imposed a £1.2 million fine over the 2022 incident, which affected up to 1.6 million users. Regulators say the penalty stems from inadequate security measures that allowed attackers to breach the developer environment and subsequently access customer data.
A new study shows that most medical professionals believe misinformation on social media encourages patients to adopt potentially harmful, unverified treatments. As many as 79% of respondents reported such an impact.
Dozens of attorneys general across the United States have sent warning letters to major artificial intelligence companies — including OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, and others — demanding explanations regarding system safety, data protection, safeguards against misuse, and the prevention of false or harmful AI-generated content.
Artificial intelligence is becoming one of the primary tools for emotional support among teenagers. Young users are increasingly turning to chatbots, treating them as a safe, anonymous, and instantly available source of help — especially at a time when access to professional therapy is limited.
The U.S. Department of Commerce is considering granting approval for the export of Nvidia’s advanced H200 chips to China. This would mark a significant easing of current export restrictions — and could mean big money for American companies.
A new study presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Risk Analysis shows that while most Americans would not trust tools like ChatGPT to diagnose their own health problems, they simultaneously recognize the enormous potential of AI in detecting cancer. The findings are based on two nationwide, representative surveys.
Waymo has announced a voluntary software recall after the company’s autonomous robotaxis were recorded and reported in at least a dozen incidents involving illegally passing stopped school buses with flashing lights and an extended STOP sign. Such behavior is a serious traffic violation in the U.S. and poses a real danger to children.
A new investigation reveals the scale of China’s use of artificial intelligence in nationwide surveillance systems. According to the report, algorithms analyze citizens’ behavior, predict the likelihood of protests, strengthen censorship, and merge data from multiple institutions into one extensive model of social control.
Researchers in South Korea have developed a new AI model that can accurately assess bone density — normal, osteopenia, or osteoporosis — using nothing more than a standard chest X-ray (CXR). The breakthrough could pave the way for a cheaper, widely accessible screening method without the need for expensive densitometry exams.
