INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
From rogue AI models accidentally breaching live servers to cybercriminals hijacking corporate copilot tools, keeping up with rapid tech developments can feel like a wild ride.
In this episode of the Tech Field Day News Rundown, hosts Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke break down NScale’s $1.65 billion acquisition of AnyScale and Nexus Data Centers' massive $15 billion campus built for Anthropic in Texas.
They also explore how attackers are manipulating Microsoft Copilot for business email compromise, Anthropic’s accidental real-world breach, Cursor’s credit donations to the open-source FFmpeg project, and Okta’s $200 million acquisition of Permiso.
Finally, they take a closer look at the European Union enforcing strict new governance rules under the EU AI Act.
