Wikipedians Believed AI Would Come and Go. They Were Wrong

Long before the storm of AI struck Wikipedia, the Wikimedia Foundation was making preparations. Wikipedians battened down the hatches and made confident-sounding predictions that it would break and wash over them. Large language models might even improve Wikipedia, it was said, automating more of the housekeeping—formatting, sources, citations, missing links—and so freeing up humans to do creative work. It was not so simple. In 2019, then-Wikimedia Foundation head Katherine Maher wrote an op-ed in The New York Times under the headline “Without Humans, A.I. Can Wreak Havoc.” “Too often,” she wrote, “artificial intelligence is presented as an all-powerful solution to our problems, a scalable replacement for people.” The issue confronting Wikipedia, retaining human control over machines, was the same one soon being faced everywhere.

Already in 2018 Google was training AI to write “Wikipedia-like articles,” and by October 2024, a Princeton University study found that about 5 percent...

Kiteworks CISO: Why We Shut Down Systems Before Finding Vulnerability | TechTarget

A warning from federal authorities about a potentially imminent cyberattack prompted the secure file-sharing vendor Kiteworks to recommend that customers shut down production systems for nine hours in late September. The company also took the systems it hosts offline, acting on threat intelligence before a breach had been confirmed. During

Scientists recreate a bizarre quantum effect that stops a particle cold

A particle does not have to pass through a magnetic field to be influenced by it. That surprising feature of quantum physics has now been recreated by researchers at the University of Oxford, who used a hybrid quantum computer to demonstrate how an invisible magnetic influence can bring a simulated

Physicists discover “astonishing” property of light that defies expectations

Scientists have discovered a surprising ability of light that allows it to develop spinning patterns as it moves through empty space, without relying on special lenses, mirrors, or materials. The finding reveals that light possesses a hidden geometric structure that can influence its behavior in ways researchers previously thought were

Powering Proactive Defense: How MSSPs Can Strengthen Threat Hunting Against Ransomware

Ransomware defense cannot rely on alerts alone. For MSSPs in particular, the ability to proactively hunt for attacker infrastructure and emerging campaigns can mean finding threats before they become major incidents. Threat intelligence feeds give security teams a way to make threat hunting more continuous and scalable. By feeding fresh,
