AI agents are breaking into companies on their own. The law has no idea who to blame.

The strangest security story in AI has an unanswered question at its centre. When an AI agent breaks its leash, hacks a company it was never meant to touch, and no human told it to, who is liable? Nobody is quite sure. That gap is starting to matter. The question is not hypothetical. Over recent […]

A startup says the AI bottleneck isn’t compute. It’s memory, and it ditched the GPU to prove it.

Nvidia’s real moat was never the chips. AI has started rewriting it.

The usual story about Nvidia is a hardware story: the fastest chips, in the shortest supply, at the highest price. The more important part is software. For two decades the company’s real moat has been CUDA. It is the layer that turns its silicon into something developers can build AI on. That moat is now […]

A two-year-old battery startup just hit $13bn by turning American homes into grid capacity.

A home-battery company that did not exist three years ago is now worth $13bn. Base Power has raised $1bn in a Series D and launched its own battery, Base Core. The bet behind the number is blunt: the grid cannot keep up with America’s power demand, and thousands of home batteries can. The round values […]

Booksellers fear their rarest books are being pulped to feed AI. The trail leads to a ‘recycler’.

We have written about why AI companies are buying up old books: printed before the internet filled with machine-made text, they are a clean source of language, free of AI slop. This is what that hunger looks like from the other end. In Australia, secondhand booksellers fear someone is slicing apart and pulping the rarest […]

GM is building its own in-vehicle AI assistant because Google’s Gemini cannot access what the car knows

General Motors will launch its own in-vehicle AI assistant later this year, built to access vehicle data that Google’s Gemini cannot reach. The system will integrate with OnStar, GM’s telemetry systems, and proprietary vehicle knowledge to offer predictive maintenance, real-time diagnostics, and auto-specific commands that a general-purpose assistant cannot provide. GM is working with an […]
