Chris Parry’s A.I. Round-Up: Tesla FSD lags, VPN Tech stock weirdness, Alpha Metaverse wants AI rub, Plurilock deserves respect
When you sign to your online accounts through a passworded login system, even a two-factor system, the problem with that process is you are, from that point forward, trusted to be who you say you are. But if you nip out for lunch or put your phone down somewhere or someone swipes your laptop at the cafe, the system has no way of knowing that the person on your keyboard isn’t you anymore. This is a BIG deal, especially at high value hacking targets like Fortune 500 companies, banks, brokerages, intelligence services, military, health records, etc etc.

Plurilock: Pioneering Cybersecurity on the Front Edge of the Generative AI Market
For all the good AI can do, it’s currently forbidden at many companies because data put into the AI system can then be used by the AI, or the company that owns it, as data to be learned from or acted upon. Sensitive data, such as medical info, can’t be used in such an environment.

They’re strapping on their armor, diving headfirst into the fray, and wielding their expertise like a mighty sword, slashing through the darkness. They’re not only advising their customers on the ins and outs of AI governance and deployment, but also shoving free resources into their hands.

Canada Can Still Lead on Cybersecurity, but the Window Is Closing
Cloud and distributed computing, remote or mobile work, and the emergence of generative AI, taken together, are what make this a moment of profound risk. Workers in both government and the private sector now rely every day on dozens of cloud apps, each ripe for account theft, each with its own vulnerabilities. Data is distributed in such a way as to make it impossible to protect it with old “cybersecurity perimeter” strategies, and many of the nuggets of data we work with on our devices are near a “share” button that makes it troublingly easy for data, including the most confidential and sensitive data, to wander around the world without due care.
