🤖 Formula E Races Toward Net Zero with AI — Formula E has expanded its partnership with Google Cloud, integrating Gemini AI to optimize race logistics and reduce emissions. By creating "digital twins" of race sites, they can plan infrastructure virtually while using real-time data to explain race dynamics to millions of viewers.

🤖 Tesla Reboots Dojo Supercomputer — Elon Musk has restarted Dojo 3, a supercomputer built entirely on in-house hardware to bypass Nvidia GPUs. Powered by the new AI5 chip, the system aims to accelerate self-driving and Optimus robot training, with Musk promising a blistering schedule of new custom chips every nine months.

🤖 Artists Launch "Stealing Isn't Innovation" Campaign — Hundreds of creators have signed a new manifesto accusing AI giants of "plain and simple theft." Unlike previous calls for bans, this campaign demands a "better way": forcing tech companies to sign licensing deals and pay for the data they currently take for free.

🤖 Weaponized AI: The "5th Wave" of Cybercrime — A new Group-IB report warns that AI has industrialized fraud, with dark web chatter surging 371% since 2019. Criminals are now renting "Dark LLMs" and using deepfakes to bypass identity checks, causing verified global losses of over $347 million last year.

📌 Modern Apps Triple AI Returns — Report reveals that companies modernizing their legacy software are three times more likely to see a payoff from AI. The findings suggest AI failure often stems from "brittle" infrastructure rather than the models themselves—proving that you can't build cutting-edge intelligence on top of obsolete, fragmented code.

📌 UK Gigafactory Crisis — New report warns the next 12–18 months are critical to saving 200k automotive jobs, urging the government to immediately appoint a dedicated Cabinet Minister to secure a major EV manufacturer anchor, cut high industrial energy costs, and fix grid access before the UK is permanently left behind by global rivals.

📌 OpenAI "Team Invite" Scam — Hackers are hijacking OpenAI’s "invite your team" feature to bypass security filters, embedding malicious links directly in the "organization name" field. These "authentic" emails often escalate to voice phishing, forcing leaders to verify every collaboration request, even from trusted platforms.

Cyber threats aren’t just evolving — they’re becoming intelligent. Security researchers report that malicious software is increasingly using AI to adapt, change behavior in real time, and hide from traditional defenses, meaning the old antivirus playbook alone no longer suffices. Experts observed that malware families now include versions that use artificial intelligence to reinvent themselves and evade detection during active attacks, marking a new phase in the ongoing cyber arms race. This evolution makes everyday devices more vulnerable to threats that are dynamic rather than static.

One pervasive risk comes from increasingly believable scams and attacks that are designed to hook you first and infect later. According to cybersecurity reports, AI-assisted phishing — where attackers craft highly personalized fake messages that mimic trusted contacts or services — has surged, using publicly available information to create tailored lures. Some malware now automatically changes its code structure, constantly rewriting itself to avoid detection by signature-based scanners. This means clicking the wrong link — even once — can give attackers a foothold before defenses engage.

In this smarter threat environment, everyday habits matter more than ever. Start by being skeptical of unexpected messages, links, and pop-ups, especially those that try to provoke immediate action like “verify now” or “free download.” Avoid clicking links in emails or texts that seem even slightly off — if you’re unsure, open the official website in your browser instead of tapping the link provided. Keeping your devices and software updated is also crucial, because many updates patch vulnerabilities attackers exploit. Regularly backing up important data means that even if malware gets in, you can restore your files without paying a ransom. And using unique, strong passwords with multi-factor authentication adds layers of protection that make unauthorized access much harder.

Finally, your own judgment is a key line of defense. While tools and software help, many sophisticated attacks succeed because people are rushed, distracted, or unsure how to spot a threat. Taking just a second to verify a suspicious message, and learning common signs of scams, helps reduce the risk dramatically. As malicious actors harness AI to automate and scale attacks, staying informed about evolving threats — and sticking to thoughtful, cautious digital habits — will keep you safer than relying on defenses alone.
