Major tech companies call for defensive surge to defeat AI-driven hacks


Major tech companies call for defensive surge to defeat AI-driven hacks <br> Major tech companies including OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft&nbsp;, Alphabet&nbsp;, and Amazon&nbsp; are calling for a ​society-wide defensive surge to defeat what they describe &zwnj;as an impending wave of hacks driven by artificial intelligence. In a joint letter issued Thursday, the companies -- along with more ​than 100 others including Broadcom&nbsp;, Capital One&nbsp;, Cloudflare&nbsp;, ​CrowdStrike&nbsp;, General Motors&nbsp;, IBM&nbsp;, Mastercard&nbsp;, Oracle&nbsp;, Robinhood&nbsp;, Shopify&nbsp;, ⁠and Visa&nbsp; -- said there was a limited amount of ​time &quot;to make our digital world much more secure&quot; ahead ​of the AI onslaught. &quot;In the coming months, AI-enabled cyberattacks will become far more widespread as models around the world become increasingly capable,&quot; ​the letter said. It called on government and ​industry leaders &quot;to bring the full weight of their technology, resources, and &zwnj;expertise ⁠to this effort.&quot; Read More: US says Chinese hackers broke into Justice Department, NASA, Federal Reserve, Senate and more It called on governments to expedite trusted access programs, which give certain companies access to more powerful models ahead of the general public, and for all ​other organizations ​to &quot;make cyber defense ⁠an immediate leadership priority.&quot; Fears that advances in AI will supercharge hacking campaigns&nbsp;are beginning ​to be realized&nbsp;as rogue elements increasingly deploy ​large ⁠language models to break into organizations around the world. In June, the world&#39;s &quot;Five Eyes&quot; intelligence alliance -- composed of the ⁠US, ​Britain, Canada, Australia, and New ​Zealand --&nbsp;issued a rare joint statement&nbsp;warning that the AI revolution was poised ​to &quot;fundamentally transform&quot; cybersecurity. <br> <img src="https://tribune.com.pk/story/2626096/major-tech-companies-call-for-defensive-surge-to-defeat-ai-driven-hacks" alt=" Major tech companies call for defensive surge to defeat AI-driven hacks" width="100%">

Apple launches new 13-inch, 15-inch MacBook Air with M3 chip Apple has unveiled its next-generation M3 MacBook Air range, in 13-inch and 15-inch sizes. With the M3 chip, the devices will have faster CPU and GPU performance, an upgraded Neural Engine, and up to 2x faster Wi-Fi, along with the ability to connect to two external displays at the same time. Available for order, the new MacBook Air range will be shipped from March 8. The ability to connect to two external displays had been a much-awaited feature in laptops. The feature comes with a small catch, not allowing MacBook Air desktop to be connected to external displays without the laptop lid being closed. If lid is open, only one external display will work like the previous M1 and M2 models. Being called the “world’s best consumer laptop for AI”, M3 MacBook Air features a faster 8-core CPU combined with up to 10-core GPU. With a faster 16-core Neural Engine, and upgraded Wi-Fi 6E, the device will allow for maximum theoretical do...

Scientists expect PakSat MM-1 services from August The newly-lunched Pakistani satellite, PakSat MM-1, would be positioned in a geostationary orbit 36,000 kilometres above Earth and it would start delivery of services in August, scientists associated with the MM-1 project said on Sunday. PakSat MM-1, Pakistan’s second communication satellite, was launched into the orbit on Thursday from China's Xichang Satellite Launch Center (XSLC). Dr Khurram Khurshid, Head Electrical Engineering Department at the Institute of Space Technology (IST), said it would provide communication services. “The satellite will provide communication services like broadband internet, TV broadcasting, media and telecommunication. It … will play an important role in promoting economic activities besides e-commerce and e-governance,” Dr Khurshid said. The satellite launched by the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) with the support of China under the National Space Programme-2047,...

China's gigantic telescope detects over 900 new pulsars

China's gigantic telescope detects over 900 new pulsars China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, has identified more than 900 new pulsars since its launch in 2016, its operator said Wednesday. Pulsars, or fast-spinning neutron stars, originate from the imploded cores of massive dying stars through supernova explosions. Han Jinlin, a scientist with the National Astronomical Observatories under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC), said that the pulsars included over 120 binary pulsars, more than 170 millisecond pulsars, and 80 faint and intermittent pulsars. Han added that over the past 50-plus years since the discovery of the first pulsar, less than 3,000 pulsars were discovered worldwide, and the number of new pulsars discovered by FAST is more than three times the total number of pulsars found by foreign telescopes during the same period.
