In a stunning new study, researchers at UC San Diego and the University of Maryland revealed this week that satellites are leaking a wealth of sensitive data completely unencrypted, from calls and text messages on T-Mobile to in-flight Wi-Fi browsing sessions, to military and police communications. And they did this with just $800 in off-the-shelf equipment. Face recognition systems are seemingly everywhere.

OpenAI has temporarily stopped its artificial intelligence (AI) app Sora creating deepfake videos portraying Dr Martin Luther King Jr, following a request from his estate. It said disrespectful content had been generated about the civil rights campaigner. Sora has become popular in the US for making hyper-realistic AI-generated videos, which has led to people sharing clips of deceased celebrities and historical figures in outlandish and often offensive scenarios. OpenAI said it would pause images of Dr King as it strengthens guardrails for historical figures - but it continues to allow people to make clips of others. The firm has faced controversy over this stance, as videos featuring notable figures such as President John F. Kennedy, Queen Elizabeth II and Professor Stephen Hawking have been shared widely online.

In this era of AI slop, the idea that generative AI tools like Midjourney and Runway could be used to make art can seem absurd.
