In 2025, new data show, the volume of child pornography online was likely larger than at any other point in history. A record 312,030 reports of confirmed child pornography were investigated last year by the Internet Watch Foundation, a U.K.-based organization that works around the globe to identify and remove such material from the web.This is concerning in and of itself. It means that the overall volume of child porn detected on the internet grew by 7 percent since 2024, when the previous record had been set. But also alarming is the tremendous increase in child porn, and in particular…

Our work with large enterprise customers and Amazon teams has revealed that high stakes use cases continue to benefit significantly from advanced large language model (LLM) fine-tuning and post-training techniques. In this post, we show you how fine-tuning enabled a 33% reduction in dangerous medication errors (Amazon Pharmacy), engineering 80% human effort reduction (Amazon Global Engineering Services), and content quality assessments improving 77% to 96% accuracy (Amazon A+). These aren’t hypothetical projections—they’re production results from Amazon teams. While many use cases can be effectively addressed through prompt engineering, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, and turn key agent deployment,, our work…

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered five new malicious Google Chrome web browser extensions that masquerade as human resources (HR) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms like Workday, NetSuite, and SuccessFactors to take control of victim accounts. “The extensions work in concert to steal authentication tokens, block incident response capabilities, and enable complete account takeover through session hijacking,” Socket security researcher Kush Pandya said in a Thursday report. The names of the extensions are listed below – DataByCloud Access (ID: oldhjammhkghhahhhdcifmmlefibciph, Published by: databycloud1104) – 251 Installs Tool Access 11 (ID: ijapakghdgckgblfgjobhcfglebbkebf, Published by: databycloud1104) – 101 Installs DataByCloud 1 (ID: mbjjeombjeklkbndcjgmfcdhfbjngcam,…

The emergence of Smart-Cashtags means that X is no longer content to be just a “shopping guide” for traffic; it wants to personally take charge of the “cashier”.Author: BlockWeeks In the world of cryptocurrency, attention is currency, and X (formerly Twitter) has always been the world’s largest wholesale market for attention. For a long time, users here have been accustomed to a fragmented way of life: searching for “Alpha” (excess return information) on X, then quickly switching to TradingView to view the candlestick chart, and then jumping to the exchange to place an order. This “friction cost” caused by switching…

ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Marty Puranik, founder and CEO of Atlantic.Net, a global cloud infrastructure provider specializing in security and compliance, shares his top ten predictions for 2026, with an eye toward AI, cybersecurity, and the evolving infrastructure landscape. These predictions offer insight for tech leaders balancing enormous innovation with growing pressure for security, resiliency, and adaptability. 1. Physical Data Centers Become National Security Assets Data centers are now more critical than ever, says Puranik. “AI-driven data centers could become targets because of negativity around AI—especially if people perceive AI as replacing jobs.” Modern facilities deploy multi-layer…

For the first time, researchers have used machine learning – a type of artificial intelligence (AI) – to identify the most important drivers of cancer survival in nearly all the countries in the world. The study, which is published in the leading cancer journal Annals of Oncology today (Wednesday), provides information on which improvements or policy changes can be made in each country that would have the greatest impact on improving cancer survival. By going to the online tool created by the researchers, anyone can find their country and scroll down to see which factors, such as national wealth, access to…

Key Points The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Remote Access Security Act (H.R. 2683) to close the ‘cloud loophole’ allowing foreign access to U.S. AI chips via offshore cloud services. The bill expands export controls to include remote access to advanced technology, empowering the Department of Commerce to enforce licensing and penalties for unauthorized foreign access. If enacted, cloud providers must implement stricter compliance measures to prevent foreign adversaries from accessing U.S. controlled technology through rented computing power. On January 12, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives took a decisive step to tighten American export controls on advanced technology,…

Jason Kelly, PhD Co-founder, CEOGinkgo Bioworks Most people still picture science as a person in a white coat, pipette in hand. That image is stubbornly accurate. Even in 2025—after decades of lab robots, high‑throughput screening, and cloud computing—the overwhelming majority of experimental work is still done by hand at the lab bench. The result is that the “limiting reagent” for progress on everything from climate‑friendly fuels to cancer therapeutics is not ideas or data analysis. It is the slow, manual generation of high‑quality experimental data. That bottleneck is why autonomous laboratories should matter to everyone, not just to scientists. When…
