Presented by F5 Enterprise AI teams have spent years solving for compute, securing GPU allocations, negotiating cloud capacity, and benchmarking training throughput. The assumption embedded in that work is that the path between storage and compute will keep up. In production, that assumption increasingly does not hold. Real traffic introduces latency spikes, network jitter, and node degradation that controlled benchmarks fail to capture, resulting in pipelines that perform well in the lab but stall in deployment. A growing response is AI data delivery , deploying an application delivery controller (ADC) or application delivery and security platform (ADSP) in front of storage as a resilient and secure control point. "Provisioning solves for capacity but not for delivery, and that is where the constraint now hides," says Hunter Smit, senior manager of product marketing at F5. "Enterprises buy enough GPUs and enough storage, then assume the path between them will keep up, but AI traffic is bursty, highly concurrent, and random in its reads in ways ordinary storage networking was never built to absorb." The production gap benchmarks don't show Standard benchmark methodology compounds the problem, says Paul Pindell, principal solutions architect for technology alliances at F5. "Benchmark testing is usually built to produce the best possible performance or security result, not the most realistic one," he says. "With S3, latency is a known factor in degrading performance, so meaningful testing has to introduce consistent latency into the path." Most benchmark environments never do that, which means the performance numbers enterprises rely on for infrastructure decisions are drawn from conditions that production systems will never replicate. To test this assumption, F5 and MinIO conducted throughput testing under degraded network conditions. "What stood out was how quickly S3 throughput falls off once you introduce latency," Pindell says. "Even modest latency takes a real bite out of it, and as latency climbs toward long-haul distances, the degradation gets severe." The testing also showed latency mattered far more than jitter as a driver of throughput loss, which inverted what the team had expected going in. The upshot for enterprise architects is that S3 object storage deployments cannot be designed around clean-room assumptions; they have to be engineered for the degraded network conditions they will actually face. The cost of fragile data paths "In AI infrastructure, people naturally focus on GPUs because they're the most visible and expensive resource," says Tanu Mutreja, senior director of product management at F5. "But in production environments, GPUs generate only as much value as the data path that feeds them." That path runs through storage, networking, databases, security, and orchestration layers, often stitched together from multiple vendors. Customers experience none of those seams; they experience the output of the whole system. When the data path degrades, the effects compound. GPU underutilization is the most immediate and visible symptom, but Mutreja pointed to a wider set of consequences: degraded inference performance, poor-quality AI outputs, higher egress costs from unnecessary data replication, and growing operational complexity. "At scale, data-path efficiency becomes a strategic business lever rather than technical optimization," she says. "When the data path is engineered well, GPUs remain productive, AI applications stay responsive and trustworthy, operations scale efficiently, and organizations maximize the return on their AI investments." AI workloads are structurally more exposed to these failures than traditional enterprise applications. Databases, ERP systems, and web services absorb transient storage delays through caching and buffering. AI workloads running across massively parallel GPU clusters have no equivalent protection. As Mutreja noted, even minor latency spikes or bandwidth bottlenecks can cascade across large GPU clusters, simultaneously hitting utilization, training efficiency, and the customer experience. Treating the storage edge as a control point For decades, storage and intelligence operated as sequential concerns in enterprise architecture: data was stored first, then analyzed downstream. Mutreja argued that this model no longer fits the demands of AI. "Competitive advantage is determined not only by the volume of data, but also by relevance, lineage, security, and performant delivery of data," she says. "Across the industry, from NVIDIA and AWS to enterprise storage providers, the movement is toward embedding intelligence directly into data infrastructure rather than stacking it on top." F5’s integration with MinIO instantiates this approach at the layer where storage and compute actually interact. As part of the F5 ADSP, BIG-IP sits in the data path, continuously monitoring the health of MinIO’s distributed storage nodes and directing requests only to those that remain available. The operational impact of that capability becomes clear when nodes degrade, which is expected in distributed storage clusters. Without intelligent routing, clients that land on an unhealthy node must retry and may land on another degraded node, dragging down overall performance. "F5 makes sure traffic only goes to healthy nodes, or even the least busy ones, so S3 client traffic is always processed in the most efficient way," Pindell says. Governance across distributed environments The challenge grows at scale, when AI pipelines stretch across multiple locations, clouds, or edge environments. "Once an AI pipeline crosses regions and clouds, the question stops being about performance and becomes about control," Smit says. "You are operating under different rules in every jurisdiction, and digital sovereignty is now a design constraint. Where your data is allowed to live, who is permitted to touch it, and which borders it cannot cross now shapes the architecture before anyone talks about speed." That pressure is driving a visible trend of enterprises repatriating AI workloads from public cloud onto infrastructure they own and govern directly. The architecture Smit described resolves this by decoupling applications from any single storage location and placing a unified control point between them that enforces consistent policy across all of them. "Sovereignty, resilience, and cost stop being trade-offs you manage one region at a time," he explains. "They become a capability you run as a system." Storage-to-compute path as a managed control point To solve for these issues, enterprise teams need to stop treating the storage-to-compute path as a direct connection and start treating it as a managed control point, Smit says. SecureIQLab's independent validation of F5 BIG-IP in storage deployments has confirmed the approach delivers resilience without surrendering throughput. "Insert a full-proxy ADC between the two, and the path becomes observable, programmable, and failure-aware, with health-based routing, quality of service, and security enforced inline," he explains. "That single move converts data delivery from an assumption into an engineered discipline, which is what keeps GPUs fed when conditions degrade."

Heads-up, my fellow Android-appreciating animals: Google’s in the midst of rolling out a subtle change to its privacy settings that’s well worth your while to notice. The change includes a new clause that says the company can use images, files, video, and audio from your interactions with Google Lens , Search, and Gemini Live to train and improve its AI models. By default, that switch will soon be on and active for your account. But with about 20 seconds of one-time effort, you can opt out and flip it off (both literally and metaphorically, if you’re so inclined) once and for all. Lemme show ya how. [Get level-headed knowledge in your inbox with my free Android Intelligence newsletter . Something new and useful every Friday — from my keyboard to your email.] Google’s new AI training privacy default First things first — the nature of the change: According to Google, starting in the next few days, a new “Search Services History” section within the general Google account settings will lead to a significant-seeming policy shift. As per an email the company sent out to users this week: Your media [will now be] saved when Search Services History is on. Saved media includes your images, files, audio, and video from your interactions with Search services to help improve your experience. … Your saved media is also used to develop and improve Google services and technologies, including AI models and safety measures. Riiiiiiiiiiight. Now, to its credit, Google does say the data will never be associated with your account or identity once it’s used for these purposes, and it’ll rely on “filters” to “automatically remove a broad range of identifying info or sensitive personal information.” But still, whether you’re working with important corporate info or simply put off by the idea of your personal media being fed into the AI training machine, this may be news you aren’t exactly thrilled to hear. If you’re finding AI increasingly creepy or you’re just not so keen on knowing whatever media you submit to search-related services will be used to train and develop AI for the future, now’s the time to proactively speak up and change your Google account settings to shut down this setup before it begins. That, unfortunately, is where things get slightly complicated — ’cause for most of us, this new Search Services History section doesn’t seem to be present and available just yet. But that doesn’t mean you’re plum out of luck. Your 20-second opt-out roadmap To start on your AI training opt-out adventure, make sure you’re signed into whatever Google account you rely on for work and/or personal purposes, then head to the Google Activity Controls page and see if you see a section there called “Search Services History.” If you do , this is especially easy for you: Just use the option right then and there to disable the “Save Media” setting within that section, which will stop any media files from being saved and used without eliminating the entire history of things you’ve searched. (If you’d rather eliminate all of your Google Search history from being saved and used even for your own future discovery and recommendations, you can also opt to turn that entire section off. Just be aware that it may have some wide-reaching effects on the personalization you see across a lot of Google services.) If you don’t see that section — and, again, that appears to be the case for most of us at this point — you’ve got two options for the moment: You can completely disable all of “Web & App Activity.” Google says if you do this, once your account transitions over to the new approach, all of those “Search Services History” settings will stay off as well. Just be aware that doing so will prevent any and all search history from being saved for you from here on out — which, again, means you won’t be able to revisit your search history yourself and won’t see suggestions and personalization based on past searches throughout Google apps in the future. If you want to avoid entirely eliminating all of your search history, you can for now uncheck the boxes only for “Include voice and audio activity” and “Include Visual Search History.” That’ll stop search-related media from being saved to your Google account for the time being — though I’d also suggest setting yourself a reminder to look back at that same page once a week or so until you see “Search Services History” appear and can confirm that “Save Media” is unchecked as a result of that previous preference. Right now, Google isn’t explicitly saying that such a preference will carry over, so I’d put it on yourself to double-check and make sure (and then make the needed adjustment in the new interface, if not). The choice is ultimately 100% yours — but in this case, it’s up to you to take action and opt yourself out if you aren’t comfortable with the default. It’s an unfortunate position to be put in, but now you at least know what’s happening and how you can make your own decision to take back control.

IT leaders are getting a sneak preview of governance in the agentic era, and it’s shaping up to be a horror show. Two-thirds of CIOs and CTO surveyed by the IBM Institute for Business Value say they’re accountable for AI systems they don’t fully control as employees and other business units spin up new agents. In addition, 70% of the IT leaders surveyed say their organizations are deploying tech systems faster than their IT teams can track. Moreover, CIOs expect a 38% increase in the number of AI agents deployed at their organizations by next year, with just one in 10 IT leaders saying they’re prepared for the anticipated scale of agent deployment. The study reinforces growing concerns about the state of AI governance , with many IT organizations challenged to track output, security, and value as employees spin up new agents without IT’s input, says Matt Lyteson , CIO of technology transformation at IBM. “A lot of enterprises have policies that make it easier for more people to develop agents, and it’s not just the only two people in the IT department to be able to develop these solutions,” he says. Danger for IT leaders While there’s value in encouraging employees to experiment with AI, doing so can create major problems for IT leaders, experts say. When CIOs and CTOs are held accountable for AI tools they don’t control, it creates real tension in the enterprise, says Ben Schein , chief AI and analytics officer at data platform vendor Domo. AI tools at many organizations are being deployed outside of IT teams faster than they can be inventoried, he adds. “The pace problem isn’t usually that AI is being shipped recklessly,” he says. “It’s that AI is being adopted faster than governance models can adapt.” In many cases, the AI deployments are reasonable actions taken by employees, but CIOs and CTOs don’t see it happening, Schein says. “Someone in marketing connects an LLM to a content workflow,” he adds. “Someone in finance pastes a forecast into ChatGPT to clean it up. Someone in product gives a new agent access to a customer dataset. The aggregate is invisible to the CIO.” AI governance and observability are huge issues that need IT leader attention at many organizations, he says. “Can you see what AI is doing?” Schein adds. “Treat your AI agents like employees: who are they, what data did they touch, what did they produce, what did it cost, what went wrong?” AI governance isn’t a posture; it’s basic plumbing, he says. “The CIOs who’ll succeed in the next 24 months are the ones who build observability and policy enforcement into the same layer where data already lives — not a separate AI governance workstream bolted on after the fact,” he says. Governance gap Aatish Salvi , CTO at software testing vendor Applause, agrees that there’s an AI governance gap. “We’re seeing that people are developing agentic workflows and AIs and products at a rapid scale across all industries, and they’re developing them faster than they understand how to govern, control, or evaluate them when CIOs or CTOs don’t have full control over AI systems,” he says. Salvi sees the same challenge that Schein does: that many organizations encourage or permit employees outside the IT team to deploy agents, without letting the CIO or the CTO know. Control rests with whoever happened to build the agent. “They may or may not have the technical expertise to manage, govern, or evaluate it,” he adds. “So someone somewhere in the company built something in order to help them do work, and now they’re getting their work done at some cost or expense to tokens, security, compliance, and all sorts of other concerns.” Salvi sees a huge AI governance challenge for many organizations. “When people are building agentic systems by the dozen, democratizing the tools to build them throughout their organizations, and have absolutely no evaluation frameworks, they do not understand that they are compromising the quality of the work their employees produce in exchange for getting that work done significantly faster,” he says. “They’re producing mediocrity at great speed — and probably defects as well.” There’s a danger in agent control sitting with someone outside the IT team, Salvi adds. “That someone does not have the tools, know-how, or technical experience to be exercising that control intelligently,” he adds. In many cases, there’s no control at all over the agents deployed outside the IT team, counters Itai Schwartz , cofounder and CTO at data security vendor MIND. Without agent guardrails in place, agents often run without supervision, he suggests. “Every AI tool should have a business owner who’s accountable, and usually there’s a name on paper,” he says. “But most of these systems are autonomous and non-deterministic. They don’t follow a fixed script. So in practice, the tool is controlling itself.” The answer isn’t to slow down AI deployments in enterprises, but to give IT leaders visibility and enforcement tools that can keep up with the adoption curve, Schwartz says. “No technology leader I talk to wants to slow AI down,” he says. “They want better tools to move fast and stay safe at the same time. The answer is better tooling, not more caution.” Sanctioned AI platform One possible approach is what IBM did: The company created an AI agent platform that allows employees to create their own tools within a controlled environment, Lyteson notes. New agents are checked for security and privacy, as well as whether they already replicate existing IBM tools. “Very early on, we built an enterprise platform and invited people to build these solutions in a way that I feel comfortable working with my CISO on, by protecting the data by only using certain models that we feel comfortable with,” he says. “I want to know what that thing is doing, whether it is an individual productivity capability or whether this is supporting a full workflow, and I want to know the cost and value it brings to the organization.”

- ‘News’ Site Keeps Hallucinating EFF Staffers
What do EFF staffers Sarah Chen , Javier Morales , Caitlin Chin , Emma Rodriguez , and Mikko Kopponen have in common? For one thing, they don’t exist. For another, all have been quoted as EFF experts in articles published in the past two months on a site called News-USA Today , which describes itself as “an independent news publisher focused on clear, accurate, and useful journalism.” Uh… (Please don’t confuse this site with USA Today , in which real EFF experts are accurately quoted on a regular basis.) News-USA Today is hardly the only slagheap that’s hallucinating or fabricating EFF personnel and quotes; as we wrote last September , media companies large and small are using AI to generate news content because it’s cheaper than paying for journalists’ salaries, but that savings can come at the cost of the outlets’ reputations— assuming they care about reputation at all. But this many fake EFF sources in two months? That’s making a play for the championship title of bogus news content. News-USA Today’s site proclaims , “Our goal is simple: give readers the facts and the context they need to make informed decisions.” It then defines its mission: “Deliver timely, factual reporting grounded in verifiable sources and public documents.” “Make complex topics understandable without losing nuance or accuracy.” “Serve the public interest by surfacing stories that affect lives, institutions, and communities.” “Maintain a clear separation between news, analysis, opinion, and sponsored content.” Attempts to reach contacts listed on the site went unanswered. In fact, after we reached out to them, they published a story on June 9 with quotes from Electronic Frontier Foundation Executive Director Jared Cohen — who also doesn’t exist. As we noted last year, EFF is all about having our words spread far and wide. Per our copyright policy , any and all original material on the EFF website may be freely distributed at will under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC-BY) , unless otherwise noted.

Large language models (LLMs) remain susceptible to jailbreak and direct prompt-injection attacks, yet the strongest defensive filters frequently over-refuse benign queries and degrade user experience. Previous work on jailbreak & prompt injection detection such as, GradSafe, detects unsafe prompts with a single 'accept all' anchor token, but its threshold is brittle and it offers no deterministic guarantee that harmful content will not be emitted once decoding begins. We introduce Gradient-Controlled Decoding (GCD), a training-free guardrail that combines an acceptance anchor token ('Sure') and refusal anchor token ('Sorry') tightening the decision boundary and significantly lowering false positives. In the mitigation stage, if a prompt is flagged, GCD preset-injects one or two refusal tokens ('Sorry, I can't . . . ') before autoregressive decoding resumes, guaranteeing first-token safety regardless of sampling strategy.
