An adversarial attack attempts to make an AI system fail by supplying carefully designed input. The change may be almost invisible to a person while causing a model to misclassify an image, follow a malicious instruction, or reveal protected behavior. Attackers can exploit knowledge of the model or probe it through repeated queries. Defenses include adversarial training, input validation, access controls, monitoring, and tests that simulate realistic threats. No single defense removes every risk because attacks evolve alongside models. Security teams therefore evaluate the complete system, including connected tools, data pipelines, user permissions, and the consequences of an incorrect or manipulated output.
Andrew Tulloch, co-founder of the $12 billion AI startup Thinking Machines Lab, has joined Meta after previously rejecting what reports described as a $1.5 billion offer — a figure Meta has since called ‘inaccurate and ridiculous.’
Google has unveiled Gemini Enterprise, a next-generation AI platform designed for business productivity and collaboration, positioning itself directly against Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s enterprise solutions in the race for workplace AI dominance.
Google Cloud and Figma have launched an expanded partnership to embed Google’s generative AI models – including Gemini 2.5 Flash and Imagen 4 – directly into Figma’s design tools, reducing latency and accelerating creative workflows.
Opera today introduced Neon, an AI-powered browser that can run tasks and navigate pages autonomously — aiming to shift web browsing from passive to “agentic.”
AI search startup Perplexity has reportedly raised $200 million at a $20 billion valuation, just two months after a $100 million round – signaling its rapid rise as a major rival to Google.
