Belgium’s anti-drone police unit stood by while drones shut down airports, embassy says
A string of drone incursions at Belgian airports and military bases revealed major gaps in the nation’s defenses, as its specialized 30-officer C-UAS unit was not deployed. Despite having detection antennas, jammers and net-launchers, the C-UAS unit remained idle during incidents, partly due to limited awareness among authorities of its existence and role. Belgium sought […]

Sen. Josh Hawley raised alarms about AI chatbots posing a threat to children, while Sen. Richard Blumenthal emphasized the need for stronger tech regulation, particularly to protect kids from harmful AI interactions. The proposed GUARD Act aims to regulate AI chatbots by requiring companies to verify the age of users before granting access, ensuring children […]

AI’s role in policing: A new era of efficiency or inequality?
Law enforcement worldwide is increasingly employing AI tools—such as predictive policing algorithms and automated surveillance systems—to anticipate crime hotspots, identify suspects and monitor behavior. Predictive policing systems like Chicago’s “HeatList” have been used to allocate resources, but critics warn they can reinforce existing racial bias embedded in historical crime data. Facial recognition and automated surveillance […]

Apple & Google to comply with Texas age verification law—but warn of privacy trade-offs
Apple and Google will comply with Texas’s SB2420 age verification law beginning Jan. 1, 2026, but warn it may erode user privacy. Under SB2420, users downloading any app (even benign ones) must undergo “age assurance” checks, which Apple says forces collection of sensitive personally identifiable information. To support compliance, Apple will update its Declared Age […]

Trump pushes “law and energy first” agenda amid shutdown fears, forces Big Tech to fall in line

AI generated phishing scams now undetectable, fooling 9 out of 10 adults — experts warn of “unprecedented threat”
AI-powered phishing is now so convincing that 91 percent of adults in tests were fooled into thinking scam messages were legitimate. Attackers use generative AI (both proprietary and open-source) to craft personalized, dynamically adaptive messages based on public data and victim responses. Phishing attacks delivering credential-stealing malware spiked by 84 percent year over year, with […]

AI-designed EVASIVE pathogens raise biosecurity alarms — experts warn of “pandemic-level” threats undetectable by current screening
The study shows that AI-designed viral genomes—engineered for infectivity and immune evasion—slip past commercial DNA screening tools, undermining current safeguards. Because AI can reconfigure genes in novel ways, dangerous sequences without obvious similarity to known pathogens go undetected by signature-based filters. Even stringent screening systems used by DNA synthesis companies and advanced protocols (e.g. iGEM) […]

YouTube tightens access: Users are now required to prove their age after AI flags them as under 18
YouTube is expanding the use of an AI?based age estimation system, resulting in some users being locked out of content until they verify their age via official ID. The system, first tested in Europe, is now active in the U.S., using signals like viewing history, search activity and account age to infer whether a user […]

At least three flights were diverted (two back to Copenhagen, one to Billund), though authorities have not confirmed the number or origin of the drones. The repeated incidents have heightened suspicion of […]
