How Domain Abuse, Social Media, and AI Fuel Brand Attacks

CISOs expect social media impersonation to become their leading cybersecurity threat as attackers increasingly combine AI-enabled deception, executive impersonation, and domain abuse across multiple channels to conduct fraud and steal sensitive information. more

Amazon Taps Qualcomm for AI Chips and Optical Data Center Networking With $60 Billion Purchase Milestones

Amazon's Qualcomm deal spans custom AI inference chips and optical networking, with equity warrants tied to purchasing milestones reaching $60 billion, potentially expanding competition across the data-center compute and connectivity supply chain. more

Canada Sets National Principles for Responsible Data-Centre Development

Canada's voluntary framework asks data-center developers to cover electricity-system costs, limit water and environmental impacts, disclose local effects and deliver national benefits as the country expands sovereign AI and cloud infrastructure. more

ChatGPT, Claude and Grok Suffer Overlapping Service Outages

Overlapping outages disrupted ChatGPT, Claude and Grok on September 3, but their providers have identified no common cause, leaving unanswered whether the failures were coincidental or reflected an unseen shared dependency. more

The Effects of AI Expansion on Testing Models and Infrastructure

AI workloads are exposing the limits of traditional network planning and testing, pushing operators toward better traffic visibility, workload-aware policies and production-like testing before adding capacity to infrastructure they may not fully understand. more

From Forgotten to Exploited: How AI Changes the Dangling DNS Threat

Dangling DNS records can expose trusted corporate subdomains to takeover, while AI-assisted reconnaissance makes abandoned resources easier to find, increasing the need for continuous DNS monitoring rather than periodic audits. more

Researchers Warn EU AI Rules Are Deepening Reliance on Big Tech

Researchers argue the EU's AI framework increasingly makes major technology companies co-stewards of regulation, raising concerns that reliance on private infrastructure and technical expertise could strengthen incumbents' influence over how AI rules are implemented. more

More Than 100 Organizations Call for Global Surge in AI-Assisted Cyber Defense

More than 100 organizations are calling for wider use of AI in cyber defense, urging governments, technology providers and AI developers to expand funding, tools, model access and practical support for under-resourced critical infrastructure operators. more

AI Is Rewriting the Internet. But in Whose Language?

AI is becoming a gateway to the internet, but thousands of languages remain excluded. Closing the gap requires multilingual infrastructure, representative training data and policies that make linguistic inclusion a foundation of the AI era. more

Open-Weight AI: Open to Whom?

The push for open-weight AI promises broader access and competition, but true openness requires more than releasing model weights. Compute, infrastructure, training data, security, and control ultimately determine who can meaningfully benefit from open AI. more

AI Duties Are Being Written but the Protocol Layer Is Missing

Recent AI containment failures expose a governance gap: harmful model behavior is often visible at the network boundary but poorly monitored. Adapting proven internet protocols could give governments and companies practical tools to enforce accountability. more

The Growing Push for Data Sovereignty

Governments, corporations and Indian Tribes increasingly want to keep their data out of Big Tech's hands. The push for data sovereignty could reshape cloud computing, favoring private AI systems over sprawling, centralized data centers. more

Phantom Squatting: When LLMs’ Hallucination Becomes an Attacker’s Best Friend

As AI reshapes cybersecurity, attackers are exploiting a fundamental weakness in large language models. Phantom squatting turns hallucinated domain names into trusted attack vectors, creating a new class of DNS abuse that defenders cannot solve by eliminating hallucinations alone. more

The AI Enclosure Movement

The battle over open-source AI echoes England's Enclosure Movement, pitting collaboration against proprietary control as technology firms compete to shape innovation, economic power and the future governance of the digital commons. more

From Human Trust to Machine Cryptography: The Infrastructure Deficit in AI Interoperability

As AI agents begin collaborating across the open internet, the absence of trusted identity, authorization, and accountability frameworks threatens interoperability, making cryptographic trust infrastructure essential to building a secure and scalable agentic economy. more
