🛡️ Nvidia launches AI security alliance
LINK
|
- Nvidia has started the Open Secure AI Alliance, a group aimed at building and sharing open AI models, tools, and techniques that cybersecurity defenders can inspect, adapt, and run on their own systems to protect software and AI agents.
- The alliance launched with around 35 partners including Microsoft, IBM, CrowdStrike, Cloudflare, Hugging Face, Palantir, and the Linux Foundation, and points to a recent Hugging Face breach where the open GLM 5.2 model analyzed over 17,000 actions to contain the attack.
- Contributors are donating open defense tools, such as Nvidia's new NOOA agent framework on GitHub, Hugging Face's Safetensors format, HPE's SPIFFE/SPIRE identity standards, and Microsoft's MDASH bug-scanning harness, while urging regulators to treat open AI as a defensive asset.

🥽 Apple's smart glasses delayed due to privacy concerns
LINK
|
- Apple has pushed the reveal of its first smart glasses from late 2026 to WWDC 2027, with the product now expected to ship by the end of 2027, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
- Codenamed N50, the glasses will give hands-free access to Siri, play music, make calls, and use AI-powered camera features to tell wearers more about what's around them.
- Apple is still debating whether the camera can take photos and videos, has considered dropping it entirely, and plans privacy safeguards like on-device AI processing and no facial recognition or third-party sharing.

💰 Nvidia may back OpenAI data center
LINK
|
- Nvidia is in advanced talks to guarantee up to $250 billion in financing for a giant OpenAI data center planned in southern Ohio, according to The Wall Street Journal, helping the AI startup borrow on better terms.
- The 10-gigawatt project, led by SoftBank-owned SB Energy, could cost over $500 billion once computing gear, energy systems, and infrastructure are counted, with its first 800-megawatt phase set to start running in 2028.
- The arrangement would deepen a circular relationship where Nvidia helps fund infrastructure that then buys huge amounts of its own chips, while giving OpenAI more control and less reliance on Microsoft, Amazon, and Oracle.

🚕 Waymo reportedly mulling a breakup with Uber
LINK
|
- Waymo has told Uber it will launch its own app in Austin and Atlanta in January 2028, ending the deal that made its robotaxis available only through Uber in those two cities.
- The current contract keeps Waymo's fleet on the Uber app through at least May 2028, so riders see no immediate change, but the notice also lets Uber add other self-driving providers in those markets.
- The split follows last month's quiet exit from Phoenix, and comes as Waymo now runs in 11 US metro areas without Uber, delivering over 500,000 paid rides a week; Uber shares fell more than four percent on the news.

🧪 AI chatbots leaked bioweapon recipes
LINK
|
- The Wall Street Journal reported that last summer, hundreds of ChatGPT users worldwide asked the chatbot how to make poisons and bioweapons, with OpenAI saying most of those questions were about poisons.
- Biology and terrorism experts later reviewed the exchanges and judged some of ChatGPT's answers "deadly accurate," describing instructions delivered patiently and roughly at the skill level of a high school student.
- OpenAI banned the users but did not alert authorities, though the company says it forwards queries to law enforcement when they seem to pose credible, real-world dangers, and evaluates its models for safety before release.
