Marketing firm Graphite analyzed writing from frontier AI models by having them rewrite 10,000 pre-ChatGPT articles from summaries, then compared the results to the original human text.

Paragon Solutions, the spyware maker acquired by US firm AE Industrial Partners in late 2024 and merged with RedLattice, canceled two intelligence contracts with Italy after WhatsApp alleged its Graphite spyware infected over 60 phones across 20-plus countries, including journalists and activists.
