Virtual barbarians at the gate: securing the AI blind spot

Many companies have quickly moved to adopt artificial intelligence in their systems, embedding it into virtually everything from customer apps to internal systems. That speed has created new pressure for security teams, because AI-enabled applications can introduce unfamiliar attack surfaces, unpredictable behavior, and new ways for attackers to manipulate inputs, access data, or chain weaknesses across […]

Microsoft used agentic AI to make its quantum chip 1,000 times more reliable, then cut its timeline to a scalable quantum computer in half

Microsoft has unveiled Majorana 2, a next-generation topological quantum chip whose qubits are 1,000 times more reliable than those in the first Majorana chip introduced last year. The improvement is so significant that Microsoft has cut its timeline for achieving a scalable quantum computer from 2033 to 2029, halving the original target. The company credits […]
