The NSA, CISA, and FBI say attackers are using AI to build exploit scripts targeting Siemens S7 controllers, drastically cutting the time and skill needed to attack industrial control systems. Critical U.S. sectors like energy, water, and manufacturing are affected.

OpenAI is deliberately "pacing AI model development," partly because the upcoming "Astra" model may be close to gaining critical cyberattack capabilities. A new monitoring system triggers an alert within 30 minutes if a model shows suspicious behavior.

As robots become more intelligent, autonomous and connected, much of the attention naturally falls on increasingly powerful AI models. But underneath those models is an increasingly complex collection of sensors, processors, control systems and security hardware that must operate reliably – often within strict limits on power consumption, size and heat. Lattice Semiconductor is one […]

While generative AI has dominated much of the technology debate in recent years, the next major phase of development may increasingly involve AI systems that can perceive, interact with and act in the physical world. The IEEE’s new Technology Megatrends 2030 report identifies physical AI and robotics as one of the areas with the greatest […]

China has threatened to retaliate against new US restrictions on foreign-produced humanoid robots, warning that the measures will damage economic and trade relations between the world’s two largest economies. The response comes after the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) added foreign-produced advanced robotic devices, including humanoids and quadrupeds, to its Covered List, preventing new models […]

Robots no longer stop at the edge of the factory floor. Increasingly, they extend into a phone or tablet in an operator’s hand. A companion app has become as important as the hardware it controls. Fleet managers check machine health from a warehouse aisle. Maintenance technicians pull diagnostics before they even reach the unit. Operations […]

You likely check the locks on your doors before heading to bed every night. You keep your physical valuables tucked away from prying eyes, yet the most sensitive details of your life now live entirely in the cloud. We often treat our devices like permanent storage lockers, leaving front doors wide open across the internet. […]

Knowledge workers are increasingly integrating AI agents into their workflows. Agents that function as “digital coworkers” offer clear benefits. For example, they can review a bug report, implement and test a fix, push a patch, and ping a human for review. By handling routine tasks, agents have the potential to deliver large productivity gains. On the other hand, connecting a large language model…

The US government has taken one of its most significant steps yet to regulate advanced robotics, adding foreign-produced humanoids, quadrupeds and other mobile robots to the Federal Communications Commission‘s “Covered List” of technologies considered to pose an unacceptable risk to national security. At first glance, the decision appears surprising. The FCC is best known for […]

Update follows determinations by executive branch agencies that these devices threaten national security The United States Federal Communications Commission updated its “Covered List” to include two new categories of devices – “advanced robotic devices” (defined as mobile robots, such as humanoids and quadrupeds) and, separately, connected power inverters produced in foreign countries. The action follows […]

Building a great AI agent isn’t just about choosing the right models. The harness is the architecture surrounding the model. How it renders context, executes actions, manages state, and decides when a task is done shapes outcomes just as much as the model itself. Harness design alone can account for double-digit swings in benchmark results and significant differences in token cost…

Security teams talk constantly about speed and resilience. Fine. Trouble starts after the test ends, when reporting sinks into screenshots, copied notes, and rushed edits. That gap matters. A finding stuck in draft form for days isn’t delayed paperwork. It’s a delayed risk reduction. Attackers don’t pause while consultants clean up language or fix severity […]

The Bybit hack in February 2025 drained about $1.5 billion from a multisig wallet. The attackers didn’t break any code. They manipulated the sign-off process itself – tricking multiple approvers into approving fraudulent transactions. That’s what made it unsettling. If a major exchange with dedicated security teams can be taken down this way, what hope […]

For over fifteen years, x86 CPUs have shipped with a dedicated hardware instruction for carryless multiplication. It’s a small but stubborn primitive that sits underneath authenticated encryption, error-correcting codes, and modern zero-knowledge proofs. Until now, NVIDIA GPUs lacked native support for this operation. NVIDIA CUDA 13.3 closes that gap with , a new PTX instruction available on…

AI has transformed how organizations operate, driving unprecedented levels of productivity and innovation. However, AI adoption can be impeded by concerns surrounding data privacy, sovereignty and how to secure data while it is in use, or during inference and engagement with AI models. NVIDIA Confidential Computing (CC) was engineered to be a secure and performant solution for the era of agentic…

The AI era is driving a new class of infrastructure: AI factories that transform data into intelligence for autonomous AI agents operating at unprecedented scale. Powered by accelerated computing, AI factories enable enterprises to train, fine-tune, and deploy AI with greater speed and efficiency. This new class of infrastructure also introduces a fundamentally new attack surface spanning…

As AI models grow in complexity and regulatory scrutiny intensifies under frameworks including California’s AB-2013 and the EU AI Act, software teams face a challenge beyond delivering great code: They need to produce comprehensive, auditable model documentation before the models are released. Model cards describe how a model works, its intended use and license, training data, performance…

Autonomous AI agents are becoming more capable. Open models, Model Context Protocol (MCP)-connected tools, and portable skills are also making agents easier to extend.But scaling agent use with structural transparency and operational integrity requires more than runtime guardrails. Organizations and teams need to understand and trust the skills, or instructions, an agent is using.

Bash is one of the most flexible and powerful interfaces exposed to AI agents. In the right system, a model that emits , , , or a shell pipeline is producing an executable action that can read files, mutate a workspace, open network connections, and chain tools together. For the NVIDIA AI Red Team, this makes command generation a useful research target. If smaller language models can be guided…
