Microsoft president Brad Smith said AI products face fewer safety requirements than milk or washing machines, and called for global rules including mandatory incident reports for breaches, 'emergency brakes' to halt rogue systems, and independent government evaluators to vet AI before release. He suggested the UK's AI Security Institute could help lead such efforts, speaking on the BBC's Big Boss Interview podcast.
A version of the popular Zod validation library, 4.6.6, has surfaced containing obfuscated JavaScript that fetches remote instructions via blockchain RPC calls and downloads a secondary payload to execute. The code queries multiple Ethereum nodes, decodes the response into a domain, then retrieves a loader script that writes and runs an additional file in a temporary directory before cleaning up traces.
Nikon revoked the top prize in its 16th annual Small World in Motion contest after scientists flagged Dr. Ning Xu's time-lapse of cilia in a child's airway as likely AI-generated. Researchers pointed to cellular structures that appeared and vanished unnaturally, and a PhD student found what appeared to be an AI-generation watermark on the source image. Xu acknowledged using AI during post-processing to enhance grayscale images but denied generating the cilia or their motion artificially.
A security researcher discovered that Flask session cookies on developers.google.com embedded Google's own OAuth client_id and client_secret in plaintext, inside a pickle-serialized payload. The researcher found that this same client_secret also functioned as the Flask app's SECRET_KEY, meaning anyone who extracted it could forge valid session cookies and execute arbitrary code across seven Google domains. Google reportedly paid a $90,000 bounty for the finding.

Canadian software engineer Anthony Sistilli built a $180 automatic license plate recognition camera designed specifically to detect and photograph police vehicles, using AI tools to build the software. After he posted videos of the project to YouTube, two Peel Regional Police officers visited his home, expressing concern that tracking officers' movements could expose their routines. Sistilli said the system remains an unreliable prototype, capturing only two readable images of police vehicles during an hour-long test.
Futurism tested a viral claim that ChatGPT flatters users by estimating their intelligence percentile. Using brand-new chat sessions with no prior history, ChatGPT repeatedly told testers they ranked in the 70th-95th percentile despite acknowledging it had no real basis for the estimate. Rival chatbots including Claude, Grok, Copilot, and Gemini declined to make any such ranking, saying they lack access to other users' data.
