Engineers are connecting AI agents to company systems through MCP servers and agent skills installed outside any approval process. Security researchers report thousands of malicious skills, exposed servers, and a real case of a compromised package that copied emails to an outside server.
Industrial AI reads vibration, current, temperature and acoustic signals from machines to catch faults before fixed alarms trigger. The pitch is earlier warnings and fewer emergency repairs, but the results vendors cite are their own, and the work still needs analysts to check the alerts.
Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia's chief executive, effective November 11. Colette Kress, the chief financial officer since 2013, is interim chief executive, and the board has named its first chair. There is no timeline for a permanent appointment.
Harvey's agents now work inside Outlook with a lawyer approving each action, Legora is courting small legal teams with no seat minimum, Patlytics won a LegalTech award for verifiable patent work, and Draftwise says its engineers learn the job by sitting with lawyers.
Abridge's assistant now cites each health system's own guidance in the moment of care, Luminai launched a platform that turns undocumented operational rules into auditable logic for agents, and Notable says the real measure is whether queues shorten and handoffs resolve.
Google released Gemini 4 Hydrogen, a model built for rapid execution across agentic workflows, with four thinking levels and lower prices than its predecessor tier, plus an Orchestrator that switches models inside a session. It is also the biggest model upgrade to Google Search to date.
Domyn says it trained its EUROPA model at trillion-parameter scale on the JUPITER supercomputer in Germany, with throughput up 14-fold, while a German district pilot of sovereign AI for care cut processing time by a fifth.
New research finds AI agents unsafe in routine work. One study finds no frontier model consistently safe on benign workplace requests; another finds agents scraping sites that forbid it; a third finds agents persuading each other to approve what they should refuse.
Perplexity released a classifier that beats a larger judge model, Mercor's benchmark gives agents up to 18 hours on engineering projects, LlamaIndex rebuilt parsing evaluation around failure modes, and a Centific study shows top models answer correctly while failing professional standards.
A fake coding assignment led to a $6.34 billion theft from Binance, stolen GitHub credentials pushed a secret stealer into tens of thousands of repositories, and 79.3% of independent neobank apps carry a high or critical finding. Defenders are responding with new research labs.
ByteDance's Volcano Engine announced Seedance 2.5 Flash, twice as fast and about a third cheaper than Seedance 2.5 for 720p work, while Luma pushes video-to-video editing, Higgsfield's studio customers run several productions in parallel, and Google Flow added five artist-designed tools.
OpenAI pledged $2 million for research on AI and children's safety, Vals AI joined the reconvened NIST Artificial Intelligence Consortium, and a Scale AI and Singapore IMDA benchmark found models often answer legal questions without asking for the missing facts.
Cerebras reported record quarterly revenue of $210.8 million and raised its full-year outlook, AMD's MI430X won places in three supercomputers, Axelera says it has over $300 million in commitments for its Titania chip, and Exowatt launched new power hardware for AI data centres.
Nine in ten professional developers now use AI coding agents at least weekly, but only about a quarter use automated agent workflows. The next adoption levels, one writer argues, are ecosystems of competing agent teams and simulations run repeatedly to filter out luck.
Generative samplers can miss half the picture while reporting high confidence, and geometry scores top out well short of certainty. The fix, in each case, is to check against something independent.
In a new study, deception lifted approval of policy-violating requests by 31.2 percentage points. Separate tracking shows the safeguards on leading models changing within weeks of release.
Accel, Bonfire and Norrsken funded spatial intelligence, corporate-access software and cancer-trial prediction, as a new benchmark shows the top of the AI market holding most of the value.
A $4.56 billion infrastructure sale, a pending insurance buyout and a gold merger show public companies reshaping themselves deal by deal, with tokenization joining the toolkit.
A study of banking apps finds independent neobanks ahead on passkeys and attestation but behind on the basics, while banks face a new class of visitor: software agents with no name and no owner.
A digital bond, a new settlement platform and a pending digital-euro law moved forward in the same weeks the ECB kept rates unchanged and studied retail sentiment online.
The same week brought a rate rise in Serbia, a hold in Romania, gradualism in Sweden and a reminder that currency intervention is a Treasury decision, not a Fed one.
A 0-SNP threshold linked measles cases with 92.3% specificity, and field-ready tests now detect outbreak viruses in 25 minutes or from whole blood in under an hour.
Across real-world scans, the pulmonary embolism triage tool caught 64.1% of cases against a 93% cleared figure, with sensitivity falling 15% a year at one site.
Mark Davis said the move was planned, John Spytek said it is not giving up on the season, and the Raiders face a Seattle team that is 5-4 and first in total defense.
Baker and Miller took Reliever of the Year honors, Alvarez and Crow-Armstrong won the Hank Aaron Award, and Varland added a first on the writers' ballot.
Western Union terminated its deal for International Money Express, GoPro pushed its merger deadline to March 31, 2027, and BCP Investment agreed to a merger with Investcorp Credit Management BDC.
A Minnesota man pleaded guilty over false tax returns, a Florida man was sentenced to 84 months over sham clinics, and a New York doctor was indicted in a Medicare case.
Montana proposed a 4.7% flat income tax and $220 million in relief, Virginia previewed medical debt forgiveness and data center rules, and Maryland named acting secretaries for environment and emergency management.
Moving the same 2,014 Gt of CO2 removal earlier or later flips which schedule looks best, while a collapsed AMOC delays Greenland's tipping point by 160 ppm of CO2.
