According to CrowdStrike, China-linked hackers used AI tools, including DeepSeek, to target more than 200 organizations across at least 14 countries in just 11 days.
The campaign targeted government agencies, defense contractors, telecommunications providers, and other critical industries, with confirmed intrusions at nine organizations.

The Pentagon is investigating a suspected cyberattack following unexplained freezer malfunctions at multiple U.S. military bases, resulting in significant food spoilage.
As advanced AI continues to lower the barriers to conducting sophisticated cyberattacks, concerns about the vulnerability of America's critical infrastructure are growing.
The incident underscores the importance of strengthening cybersecurity defenses as artificial intelligence creates new risks to national security.

Scoop: Voters in Iowa, Ohio want AI safety measures, even at the expense of falling behind the AI race, support things like increased parental controls for AI, bans on chatbots for minors, and government AI safety testing, Republican pollster finds
In response, WH tells me: “American leadership in super intelligence is essential for our national security, economic prosperity, and the quality of life of the American people. President Trump is committed to ensuring America continues to lead the world in super intelligence while protecting American consumers.”

Independent publisher @stupidDOPE reports documenting approximately 74 MILLION AI bot scraping requests targeting its website.
According to co-founder @ShaneBreen , the activity has contributed to website outages, lost traffic, increased infrastructure costs, and concerns over the unauthorized use of copyrighted content.
We sat down with Breen to discuss the growing impact of AI scraping on independent publishers and the need for greater accountability from AI companies.

AI-generated disinformation is targeting U.S. elections just days before the midterms.
AP reports that suspected Russia-linked videos are using AI-generated content and manipulated footage to spread fabricated allegations against Senate candidates Sherrod Brown in Ohio and James Talarico in Texas.
The videos misuse real people's names, photographs, and identities to make false accusations appear credible. Media forensic experts say the content resembles previous Russian disinformation campaigns that targeted the 2024 presidential election.
As AI becomes more powerful and accessible, its ability to manufacture convincing disinformation poses a growing threat to election security and public trust.

The United Kingdom is investing heavily in AI safety, committing an additional $160 MILLION to its AI Security Institute.
That’s more than 10 times the annual budget of the United States.
As AI advances rapidly, the UK is making major investments in testing and evaluating the risks of increasingly powerful AI systems.

OpenAI is launching an election “war room” ahead of the November 3 midterms.
The Election Operations Center will bring together hundreds of employees to monitor AI-generated misinformation, detect potential election interference, and investigate misuse of ChatGPT.
As AI-generated deepfakes and disinformation become increasingly sophisticated, concerns are growing over how artificial intelligence could be weaponized to manipulate voters and interfere with American elections.

NEW POLL: 68% of Americans are concerned about AI heading into the midterm elections.
From job displacement and deepfakes to cybersecurity threats and the loss of human control, a new @FoxNews poll highlights growing public concern over the real-world risks of rapidly advancing AI.

A cyberattack on New Mexico’s largest hospital system forced ambulance diversions, canceled appointments at more than 30 clinics, and disrupted care at the state’s only Level 1 trauma center.
AI is making cyberattacks easier to launch, faster to scale, and harder to defend against.
As AI lowers the barrier for cybercrime, attacks on hospitals and other critical infrastructure could become even more dangerous.

NEW from me: Britain’s AI testing agency outguns US
Britain wants to pour another £120 million — roughly $160 million — into a government lab that tests the world’s most powerful AI models, an infusion of cash that alone is more than 10 times the annual budget of its US counterpart.
It contrasts sharply with the approach in the US, where federal efforts to evaluate AI are receiving far less cash and are shared by different parts of government.

Cybersecurity experts are calling this month a “Black October” for AI-driven cyber threats.
AI systems are now finding serious software vulnerabilities at machine speed, while hackers can use the same technology to scan for weaknesses, write attack code, and launch attempts across huge numbers of targets.
The fear is that AI could dramatically shrink the time between a flaw being discovered and a real attack, leaving companies, critical infrastructure, and governments with far less time to defend themselves.

BREAKING: A hacker is attempting to breach the Federal Election Commission, forcing the agency to temporarily shut down online services, according to Reuters.
As AI makes cyberattacks increasingly sophisticated, threats to critical government systems raise serious concerns about national security and the potentially catastrophic risks of advanced AI.

BREAKING: President Trump bans the term "AI/Artificial Intelligence"
Flock Safety’s CEO wants you to believe RUSSIAN BOTS are behind the growing backlash against his surveillance empire.
In leaked audio, Garrett Langley reportedly blamed Russian bots and paid critics for the mounting opposition.
Meanwhile @IJ has documented nearly 300 incidents involving license plate reader abuse and misuse, including officers exploiting surveillance technology to stalk individuals and conduct unauthorized searches.
Americans have legitimate reasons to be concerned about AI mass surveillance.
This backlash isn't coming from Russian bots. It's coming from Americans who are tired of being unconstitutionally surveilled.

It’s hard to imagine a group right now that is more out of touch with everyday Americans than the AI industry.
Take, for just one example, a policy proposal from a major industry player. It would define a “catastrophic incident” as causing 50 deaths or more—as if avoiding federal scrutiny for even a single death caused by their products were excusable.

Flock cameras don’t just take pictures. They use AI-enabled technology to read plates, analyze vehicles, and identify details like bumps, scratches, and even bumper stickers.
I spoke with @GBNEWS about the risks of this technology, especially what happens when these systems get it wrong.
