Two critical flaws found in PHP show the growing cybersecurity risks posed by AI. An Anthropic executive warns that the next 18 months could be especially hard while companies adapt their defences.
Government websites and public services across Europe went offline this week as organisations reacted to two newly disclosed PHP vulnerabilities. The piece argues AI is speeding up the race between finding flaws and patching them.

Graylark, a US company that makes AI tools for law enforcement, has built software that can work out a home's address from photos taken inside it. The capability raises obvious privacy questions.
