“The result is automated detection and response for the most common attacks,” Shipley wrote in a blog post about the new XDR capabilities. “Machine learning, machine reasoning, and LLMs combine to trigger multiple AI agents acting on different parts of the investigation lifecycle. Each investigation has a clear verdict. This is then used to trigger pre-built playbooks in Cisco XDR or Splunk SOAR to respond instantly with or without human intervention depending on each organization’s processes.” Splunk SOAR, which stands for Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response, is a security operations platform that automates and manages cyber threat responses. Cisco also…
Researchers from the Center for AI Safety (CAIS), MIT’s Media Lab, the Brazilian university UFABC, and the pandemic prevention non-profit SecureBio have found that leading artificial intelligence models can outperform experienced, PhD-level virologists in troubleshooting complex laboratory procedures. The findings, detailed in a new study introducing the Virology Capabilities Test (VCT), demonstrate AI’s proficiency in specialized scientific tasks but also highlight serious dual-use concerns, suggesting these tools could lower the barrier for creating dangerous biological agents. The VCT benchmark, consisting of 322 questions and detailed further in its research paper, was designed specifically to measure an AI’s ability to assist…
In a major move to make AI-powered search more accessible, Aravind Srinivas led Perplexity AI has officially launched its assistant on WhatsApp. The announcement came through a post on the company’s official X account, confirming that the integration is now live. Perplexity, which has quickly gained popularity for its intelligent, conversational search capabilities, is now taking a big step forward by embedding itself directly into the world’s most widely used messaging app. WhatsApp offers a massive global platform and Perplexity’s integration means users can now access advanced search tools without ever leaving their chats. Previously, Perplexity AI and Grok emerged…
Zhipu AI, one of China’s closely watched artificial intelligence startups, is significantly increasing its international activities, supported by a new partnership with Alibaba Cloud as it concurrently manages the preliminary stages of an initial public offering. e company, which started as a Tsinghua University spin-off in 2019 and received early investment from Alibaba, detailed its expansion plans at the GITEX Asia tech conference on April 23. A Zhipu AI executive outlined the company’s focus on pitching tailored “sovereign AI agents” to governments globally. This international strategy unfolds even as Zhipu operates under U.S. export control restrictions imposed in January 2025.…
(Source: Shutterstock) It’s obvious when a dog has been poorly trained. It doesn’t respond properly to commands, pushes boundaries, and behaves unpredictably. The same is true with a poorly trained artificial intelligence (AI) model. Only with AI, its not always easy to identify what went wrong with the training. Research scientists globally are working with a variety of AI models trained on experimental and theoretical data. The goal is to predict a material’s properties before creating and testing it. They are using AI to design better medicines and industrial chemicals in a fraction of the time it takes for experimental trial…
BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI) and C3.ai (NYSE: AI) both develop artificial intelligence (AI) modules that can be plugged into an organization’s existing infrastructure to accelerate and automate certain tasks. BigBear.ai is a smaller company that plugs its modules into edge networks. C3.ai is a larger developer of AI algorithms that can be integrated into an organization’s existing software.Both stocks disappointed their early investors. BigBear.ai’s stock opened at $9.84 after it went public by merging with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in December 2021, but it now trades at about $2. C3.ai went public via a traditional initial public offering (IPO)…
China’s leading tech firms, including ByteDance, Alibaba (HK:9988), and Tencent (HK:0700), have reportedly stockpiled close to one million units of Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) H20 AI chips in anticipation of tightened U.S. export restrictions, according to Nikkei Asia. The bulk purchases—valued at over $12 billion—aimed to secure nearly a year’s supply before the April export ban took effect. The H20 chip, a scaled-down version of Nvidia’s high-performance H100, is tailored to meet U.S. export controls and is widely used for AI inference tasks. Demand for AI computing in China is soaring, driven by the rapid growth of AI-powered applications like DeepSeek, now…
