If you’ve watched cartoons like Tom and Jerry, you’ll recognize a common theme: An elusive target avoids his formidable adversary. This game of “cat-and-mouse” — whether literal or otherwise — involves pursuing something that ever-so-narrowly escapes you at each try.In a similar way, evading persistent hackers is a continuous challenge for cybersecurity teams. Keeping them chasing what’s just out of reach, MIT researchers are working on an AI approach called “artificial adversarial intelligence” that mimics attackers of a device or network to test network defenses before real attacks happen. Other AI-based defensive measures help engineers further fortify their systems to…

Open foundation models (FMs) have become a cornerstone of generative AI innovation, enabling organizations to build and customize AI applications while maintaining control over their costs and deployment strategies. By providing high-quality, openly available models, the AI community fosters rapid iteration, knowledge sharing, and cost-effective solutions that benefit both developers and end-users. DeepSeek AI, a research company focused on advancing AI technology, has emerged as a significant contributor to this ecosystem. Their DeepSeek-R1 models represent a family of large language models (LLMs) designed to handle a wide range of tasks, from code generation to general reasoning, while maintaining competitive performance…

Cloud computing is a transformational force in IT, driving success in a digital-first world. Businesses utilize the cloud for critical functions from large-scale data storage and analytics to delivering web-based services and scaling infrastructure. Most importantly, for disaster recovery purposes, it will provide an alternative and reliable backup system in case of a crisis. With most organizations already cloud-enabled, the focus would then be on how to accelerate business growth in light of the evolution of the cloud. IDC states1 that global spending on cloud services is likely to hit almost $1.3 trillion by 2025, which strongly encourages its reliability…

[MUSIC FADES] I’m your guest host, Ginny Badanes, and I lead Microsoft’s Democracy Forward program, where we’ve spent the past year deeply engaged in supporting democratic elections around the world, including the recent US elections. We have been working on everything from raising awareness of nation-state propaganda efforts to helping campaigns and election officials prepare for deepfakes to protecting political campaigns from cyberattacks. Today, I’m joined by two researchers who have also been diving deep into the impact of generative AI on democracy. Microsoft senior researchers Madeleine Daepp and Robert Osazuwa Ness are studying generative AI’s influence in the political…

NEW YORK — The New York architect facing murder charges in a string of deaths known as the Gilgo Beach killings is challenging the DNA evidence against him and seeking separate trials in the sprawling case.Rex Heuermann’s lawyers argue DNA analysis relied on by prosecutors is not widely accepted in the scientific community and should be excluded from the trial. The Long Island resident’s defense team also wants to break out the case against him into multiple trials.Since late 2010, police have been investigating the deaths of at least 10 people — mostly female sex workers — whose remains were…

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Wednesday will sign the Laken Riley Act into law as his administration’s first piece of legislation. It mandates the detention and potential deportation of people in the U.S. illegally who are accused of theft and violent crimes before they’ve actually been convicted.The measure swiftly passed the Republican-controlled Congress with some Democratic support, despite immigrants rights advocates decrying it as extreme enough to possibly trigger mass roundups of people for offenses as minor as shoplifting. Trump has made a promised crackdown on illegal immigration unprecedented in the nation’s history a centerpiece of his political career,…
