Data governance is unglamorous work. It is also the reason most AI strategies stall before they scale.Spending on models, platforms and use cases keeps growing. But the disciplines that make those investments effective – data quality, ownership and governance – often receive far less attention.Part of the challenge is that data governance is neither “fun” nor “sexy.” It lacks the excitement of new technologies and the appeal of quick wins, so it is consistently deprioritized.Latest Videos FromYet as organizations scale their AI ambitions, governance is increasingly the factor that determines whether those efforts succeed or stall.Chris WraySocial Links NavigationHead of…

Remediation priority (vulnerability triaging) traditionally focuses on Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) and Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX) statements provided with the software and supplemented by CVSS scores. That is not enough in today’s environment. SBOMs list the components within the software. They emanated from Executive Order 14028 designed to reduce supply chain attacks. VEX statements emerged soon afterward to indicate whether any known vulnerabilities are exploitable. The separate CVSS score is used as a severity indicator for vulnerability remediation priority. It’s not working – supply chain attacks continue. A major cause is a growing lack of context around exploitation. In…

SpaceX + xAI + Tesla to WIN AGI Not Robotaxi. AGI supremacy. 2. Why merge at all? Because AI is WAY BIGGER than Robotaxi. Merging creates:$140B+ combined cash for AI spendingFrictionless capital allocation (no board votes, no transfer pricing, no negotiations)One P&L, one balance sheet = Elon moves at max speed Peter Thiel and others already call Elon the greatest capital allocator alive. This removes the last 10% drag. 3. The money is already thereSpaceX: ~$2T valuation + $100B+ cashTesla: ~$1.4T + $44B cashStandalone: SpaceX/xAI can commit $60B+Tesla can do ~$25B (robotaxi) Merged: $100B+ deployable toward AI with zero friction.…

For years, smartphone brands have been selling the dream of leaving your professional camera at home. The reality, however, is usually accompanied by a few compromises. Sure, modern phones can take fantastic photos, but replacing a dedicated camera requires far more than good image quality. It demands versatility, reliability, and the ability to handle everything from tricky lighting to distant subjects without missing a beat. So when OPPO handed me the Find X9 Ultra ahead of Computex 2026, I decided it was time to find out whether that dream had finally become reality. Varun Mirchandani / Digital Trends As a…

If there’s one thing that’s almost inevitable after you’ve used a smart TV for a few years, it’s the slowdown. And it’s hard to miss because most smart TVs aren’t that powerful to start with. But the thing is, it’s not always the hardware that’s to blame. After all, it’s the same hardware that your TV had when you first bought it. I’ve experienced this exact problem with my 3-year-old TCL Google TV. But since the slowdown wasn’t caused by the hardware, I was able to fix it with a few simple tweaks. Related I Finally Found the Solution to…

Megan Ellis / Android AuthorityTL;DR Google’s Chrome browser has already let you search with on-screen content thanks to tools like Google Lens. This week, Chrome is adding a new way to incorporate screen input when looking things up with Gemini. Users will find a new “Select from screen” option when providing content for Gemini to see. Google is clearly enamored with the idea of using screen content to initiate searches, and over the years we’ve seen variation after variation on this same theme, from Google Lens to Circle to Search. Google’s never been a company to shy away from a…

AI agents go beyond answering questions. They can autonomously browse websites, read emails, search company files, query software tools, and more. AI models producing incorrect answers is hardly a threat, until agents encounter information that’s maliciously designed to influence what it sees, believes, remembers, or executes. An agent leverages webpages, document stores, wikis, images, emails, or tools to produce intended outputs. But what happens when these sources mask malicious instructions? These trap AI agents into making a wrong interpretation or taking unintended action. Scientists from Google DeepMind categorized these “traps” into six categories, including content injection, semantic manipulation, cognitive state,…

Seven weeks after the Orion spacecraft returned four astronauts from humanity’s first crewed journey around the Moon since Apollo, Artemis II Orion Vehicle Manager Branelle Rodriguez reflected on the mission’s achievements and how it is shaping NASA’s return to the lunar surface and future missions to Mars.  Introduced by NASA’s Johnson Space Center Acting Director of Business Development and Technology Integration Monte Goforth, Rodriguez spoke at the Ion in Houston on May 28 as part of the NASA Stories at the Ion speaker series. Located in Houston’s Ion District, the innovation hub serves as a gathering place for entrepreneurs, researchers, and industry leaders working to advance technology and shape the future of industries ranging from aerospace to energy.  She…
