The use of AI in software development can save valuable time completing routine tasks. But what if it could autonomously respond to events, implement changes, and submit code through standard pull requests?

This is what Zencoder is doing with the launch today of Autonomous Zen Agents for CI/CD, bringing groundbreaking AI automation directly into the software development infrastructure.

Updates to the Starburst data platform for apps and AI are designed to accelerate enterprise AI initiatives and support the transition to a future-ready data architecture built on a data lakehouse.

At the heart of these changes are Starburst AI Workflows, a purpose-built suite of capabilities that speed AI experimentation to production for enterprises. AI Workflows provides a link between vector-native search, metadata-driven context, and robust governance, all on an open data lakehouse architecture.

New research shows that one in 10 prompt injection atempts against GenAI systems manage to bypass basic guardrails. Their non-deterministic nature also means failed attempts can suddenly succeed, even with identical content.

AI security company Pangea ran a Prompt Injection Challenge in March this year. The month-long initiative attracted more than 800 participants from 85 countries who attempted to bypass AI security guardrails across three virtual rooms with increasing levels of difficulty.

The Python programming language has become the foundation of modern AI and machine learning applications. Of course that makes it a prime target for supply chain attacks.

Public registries do minimal vetting of hosted artifacts, and they don't provide assurance that the distributed library matches its source code, exposing enterprises to supply chain attacks. Python libraries are also susceptible to supply chain attacks because many projects include more than just pure Python code -- for example project maintainers often rebundle shared system libraries into their Python libraries to ensure stable behavior.

AI-powered phishing campaigns are bypassing traditional defenses as threat actors flood inboxes with polymorphic phishing, spoofed brands, and new malware families.

New research from the Cofense Phishing Defense Center (PDC) has tracked one malicious email every 42 seconds. Many of these were part of polymorphic phishing attacks that mutate in real-time in order to bypass traditional filters.

Fans of the 1980s British sitcom 'Yes Minister' will know the character Sir Humphrey -- a senior civil servant whose main role seemed to be to prevent ministers from implementing their policies. You may also know that Humphrey is the name of the Downing Street cat.

With its tongue firmly in its cheek then, the UK government is introducing 'Humphrey', a bundle of AI tools designed to speed up the work of civil servants and cut back time spent on admin, and money spent on contractors.

Only four percent of organizations worldwide have achieved the 'mature' level of readiness required to effectively withstand today's cybersecurity threats, even as hyperconnectivity and AI introduce new complexities for security practitioners.

The latest Cybersecurity Readiness Index from Cisco shows 86 percent of organizations faced AI-related security incidents last year. However, only 49 percent of respondents are confident their employees fully understand AI related threats, and 48 percent believe their teams fully grasp how malicious actors are using AI to execute sophisticated attacks.

By 2026 it's estimated the IT skills shortage will affect nine out of 10 organizations, an issue that will only be exacerbated by the growing 'silver tsunami' of seasoned professionals retiring from the industry.

This shortage presents a challenge to almost every organization, especially as IT professionals are being asked to usher their company into the digital age and incorporate new technology into existing workflows.

New research shows that enterprises are going beyond AI experimentation and into large-scale production but that return on investment is taking a back seat in the process.

The report from Domino Data Lab shows that while 88 percent of organizations report improved ability to move AI from experimentation to production, nearly 60 percent expect less than 50 percent ROI in the rapidly changing areas of machine learning (60 percent) or Gen AI (57 percent).

A new survey finds that 32 percent of employees who use GenAI tools at work say they're keeping it a secret from their employer.

The research from Ivanti finds that some use discretion when using AI because they like the 'secret advantage' it offers (36 percent); others because they worry their job may be cut (30 percent); and 27 percent have AI-fueled imposter syndrome, saying they don’t want people to question their ability.
