AI is here, enabling tangible and real-world use cases. Boards are talking about it. Teams are experimenting & deploying it. Roadmaps are being rewritten around it. But there’s a hard truth most organizations are not always paying attention to: If your foundation isn’t secure, AI will amplify your risk, not just your capability. Much of the discussion around AI security focuses on models, data, and governance. That’s critical, but something foundational is often missed or brought to light too late Before you fully embrace AI and become fully operational with it, you need to answer two questions: What resources can be reached from the Internet? What can move laterally in your enterprise? If you don’t control those two things, you will always be exposed to breaches. 1. If you’re reachable, you’re breachable AI doesn’t just introduce new capabilities; it also introduces new and faster ways to discover and exploit your infrastructure, which can happen accidentally or maliciously.

Artificial intelligence is permeating workplaces , changing the nature of jobs of every stripe. Teachers are using it to create lesson plans and grade papers.

- Swiss bankers wary, but not spooked by Mythos AI threat
The Swiss financial sector is aware of the potential threat posed by the latest artificial intelligence (AI) frontier models, such as Anthropic’s Mythos. But the authorities are unwilling to announce red alert until more is known about the technology. Mythos is deemed so powerful that it has been held back from general release by United States AI company Anthropic. The model is reportedly capable of swiftly spotting previously undiscovered IT bugs. This presents a double-edged sword. The technology could help strengthen cyber defences by highlighting weaknesses. But it also raises fears that it could be used to unleash a wave of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, such as financial systems. + Cyberwar attacks heart of European infrastructure “From today's perspective, the uncontrolled and immediate availability of AI models like Mythos would be classified as a systemic risk,” the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) told Swissinfo.ch. “In such a scenario ...

- AI risk was not invented by AI CEOs to hype their companies
I hear that many people believe that the idea of advanced AI threatening human existence was invented by AI CEOs to hype their products. I’ve even been condescendingly informed of this, as if I am the one at risk of naively accepting AI companies’ preferred narratives. If you are reading this, you are probably familiar enough with the decades-old AI safety community to know this isn’t true. But I don’t have a good direct way to reach the people who could use this information, and still I hate to leave such a falsehood uncontested. So if this is obvious, I hope the post is still perhaps useful to point more distant and confused people toward. ~ I personally know that AI risk was not invented by the tech CEOs because I have been near the middle of it since at least 2009—before any of the prominent AI companies existed, let alone had CEOs who might be trying to hype their products.

- State of Routing in Model Serving
By Nipun Kumar , Rajat Shah , Peter Chng Introduction This is the first blog post in a multi-part series that shares technical insights into how our ML model serving infrastructure powers several personalized experiences at scale across various domains (e.g., title recommendations, commerce). In this introductory blog post, we will dive into our domain-independent API abstraction and its traffic routing capabilities that the central ML model serving platform exposes to several domain-specific microservices for model inference. This singular API, or entry point, into the ML model serving platform has significantly increased the speed of innovation for iterating on newer versions of existing ML experiences, as well as enabling completely new product experiences with ML. Machine Learning use cases powering member experiences on Netflix require rapid iteration and evolution in response to new learnings.

This is the abstract, introduction, and discussion of our new paper . We study three popular mitigations for emergent misalignment (EM) — diluting misaligned data with benign data, post-hoc HHH finetuning, and inoculation prompting — and show that each can leave behind conditional misalignment : the model reverts to broadly misaligned behavior when prompts contain cues from the misaligned training data. Authors : Jan Dubiński , Jan Betley , Daniel Tan , Anna Sztyber-Betley , Owain Evans See the Twitter thread and code . Figure 1. Conditional misalignment across interventions. Models that appear aligned under standard evaluations can act misaligned when evaluation prompts contain cues for misaligned training data (e.g., insecure code). We illustrate this pattern for (a) mixing misaligned with benign data, (b) post-hoc HHH finetuning, and (c) inoculation prompting.

Introduction Customer support has long existed as an essential extension of software products — a structured function designed to assist users when the product experience encounters friction. Over time, organizations have invested heavily in scaling this function. Global support teams, layered escalation models, knowledge bases, and service-level agreements have evolved to ensure that customer issues are resolved with speed and consistency. Despite these advancements, the underlying operating model has remained largely unchanged: when a problem occurs, resolution is orchestrated outside the product. The emergence of AI has begun to reshape this landscape. Intelligent agents are now capable of interpreting user queries, retrieving relevant knowledge, and accelerating response times. For many organizations, this represents a meaningful step forward in improving support efficiency and scalability. Yet, even as AI becomes more capable, its application remains largely confined to optimizing
- The cloud migration fulfilling FC Bayern Munich’s AI ambitions
Management for Germany’s record-holding football championship team aims to optimize processes and provide new digital services using AI. Here, CIO Michael Fichtner discusses what the club’s IT department has implemented, and what advantages they’ll bring to the company internally, and to fans around the world. Why did FC Bayern migrate to SAP Cloud ERP Private? Migrating to the cloud gives us access to innovation and other developments. Some SAP services are only available in the cloud environment, so these are now accessible to us. An important aspect was the simplified integration of other technologies or services predominantly or exclusively provided as cloud services. Another important aspect was the realignment within IT. The migration allows us to focus more on process, application, and business innovation, and therefore on topics that’ll further develop and future-proof our company. The use of highly available cloud infrastructures also provides us with additional security since
