Cheating spouses have long relied on secret phones, deleted texts and carefully crafted alibis to hide their relationships. But a leading tech expert has now warned that AI is rapidly making those tactics obsolete by connecting thousands of seemingly unrelated digital clues into a single, damning picture. Every location ping, toll road record, license plate scan, credit card purchase, deleted message and security camera recording could become another breadcrumb leading back to a secret romance. Even affairs that ended years ago may not be safe, as AI gains the ability to comb through decades-old data breaches in minutes. 'If it exists in digital form, treat it like it could end up on a billboard,' tech expert Kim Komando told the Daily Mail.

Many iPhone users may be familiar with that heart-stopping feeling when you pat your pocket and the familiar outline of your phone isn't there. Usually, you're able to find it lying nearby, but a tech expert has revealed fail-proof ways to locate a lost iPhone if it's taking longer than usual to find it. Kurt Knutsson, also known as Kurt the Cyberguy, is the founder of The Cyberguy Report which warns viewers about possible cybersecurity scams and whether you could be a target. The Apple watch can be used to ping your iPhone if they're within 330 feet of each other He has now explained that the tools users already have access to like Siri and the Apple smartwatch are effective ways to locate your missing phone. Although iPhone users can use most Apple devices to locate their phones, there are three other options you may not have considered, according to Knutsson.

My husband left his phone at home and I went through it. Something told me I should. Well, I found an app called Replika that he used to make a virtual woman on. It looks like he just made'Brandy' and they're talking about his life and our marriage. I know it's an app but it feels wrong.

A tech expert has warned that new advances in AI-powered technology will lead to an'explosion' in cybercrime in 2024. Shawn Henry, the chief security officer for CrowdStrike, recently shared how cybercriminals can use AI to sneak through individuals' cybersecurity defenses, spread misinformation, or infiltrate corporate networks. Cybercriminals can use AI to mislead people into believing false narratives during the election season and potentially giving up sensitive information, said the retired executive assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The cybersecurity veteran's warning comes when AI has been given more jobs than ever, including in the US federal and state governments. Twenty-seven departments of the US federal government have deployed AI in some way, and many states have, too.

Hamas' attack on Israel was the "largest hijacking of social media platforms by a terrorist organization" and companies still aren't prepared, a tech expert warned. Artificial intelligence could help flag antisemitic and terrorist content online, one tech expert said, but only if social media companies prioritize fighting Jew hatred. "Social media platforms are capable of investing in technologies when it affects their bottom line," CyberWell founder and CEO Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor said. "It's high time that we started demanding that they do it when it comes to violent content and to antisemitism online." CyberWell uses open-source intelligence techniques and tools to identify antisemitic content across the internet.

A handful of tech companies are jeopardising humanity's future through unrestrained AI development and must stop their "race to the bottom", according to the scientist behind an influential letter calling for a pause in building powerful systems. Max Tegmark, a professor of physics and AI researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said the world was "witnessing a race to the bottom that must be stopped". Tegmark organised an open letter published in April, signed by thousands of tech industry figures including Elon Musk and the Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, that called for a six-month hiatus on giant AI experiments. "We're witnessing a race to the bottom that must be stopped," Tegmark told the Guardian. "We urgently need AI safety standards, so that this transforms into a race to the top. AI promises many incredible benefits, but the reckless and unchecked development of increasingly powerful systems, with no oversight, puts our economy, our society, and our lives at risk. Regulation is critical to safe innovation, so that a handful of AI corporations don't jeopardise our shared future."

A bipartisan panel of voters weighed in on the future of artificial intelligence and growing concerns surrounding the potential dangers of the emerging technology. A U.K.-based tech expert said he is not losing sleep at night over the recent growth of artificial intelligence but argued he does have concerns over AI potentially becoming a hellish boss that oversees an employee's every move. Michael Wooldridge is a professor of computer science at the University of Oxford who has been a leading expert on AI for at least 30 years. He spoke with The Guardian this month regarding upcoming lectures he will lead this winter to demystify artificial intelligence, while noting what concerns he does have with the tech. He told the outlet that he does not share the same worries as some AI experts who warn the powerful systems could one day lead to the downfall of humanity.

Can artificial intelligence help to bring up children? Senior executives in the toy market think so. Allan Wong, CEO of toymaker VTech Holdings, has said that in just five years, teddy bears could be reading personalized AI stories to kids, while humanoid nannies could be only a few decades away. Many companies are now offering AI-enhanced toys, apps and games for children - with a new robot, Moxie, which its maker claims improves social skills in 71 percent of children. I put the current cutting-edge artificial intelligence programs to the test, by asking leading bots like ChatGPT and Google Bard to help me parent my 18-month-old son William and keep him entertained for an entire day (easier said than done for mere mortals).

A group of leading technology experts from across the globe have warned that artificial intelligence technology should be considered a societal risk and prioritised in the same class as pandemics and nuclear wars. The brief statement, signed by hundreds of tech executives and academics, was released by the Center for AI Safety on Tuesday amid growing concerns over regulation and risks the technology poses to humanity. "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war," the statement said. Signatories included the chief executives from Google's DeepMind, the ChatGPT developer OpenAI and AI startup Anthropic. The statement comes as global leaders and industry experts – such as the leaders of OpenAI – have made calls for regulation of the technology amid existential fears the technology could significantly affect job markets, harm the health of millions, and weaponise disinformation, discrimination and impersonation.

Technologist David Auerbach joined'Fox & Friends Weekend' to discuss artificial intelligence and its impact on relationships and human connection. Experts say artificial intelligence companions are here, but as concerns mount over the unchecked potential of AI, many fear the growth of the technology could threaten human authenticity and connectivity. One technologist argued that the presence of AI chatbots and even the phenomenon of forming an attachment to an artificial being is not new. "There are already chatbots out there that people have coursed to act romantically with them, and they were devastated when they were turned off. So one of the issues is just when you have people manufacturing these things that can create that level of emotional connection with a human being, well, that's a pretty powerful force. Whether it's five years or ten years from now, I think it is coming," technologist David Auerbach said on "Fox & Friends Weekend" Saturday.
