The central lesson of Chernobyl is simple: lies have consequences. The Soviet system was built on them. From Stalin onward, 'five-year plans' set unrealistic production targets divorced from reality.

The Arbitrum Security Council's swift intervention to freeze 30,766 ETH has reignited one of the most fundamental debates in blockchain: the tension between immutable decentralization and pragmatic governance.

Mamdani has carried his highly disciplined, media-forward messaging style into office, combining practical city management with a focus on visible and public-facing execution.

The Atlantic report details financial and political activity involving Duffy, a former Republican congressman representing Wisconsin, that ethics experts say blurs the line between public office and political activity.

Linx has built an AI-native platform that maps, monitors, and governs human, non-human, and agentic identities across the entire enterprise environment, relying on real-time detection and automated remediation to reduce identity-related risks.

AI is helping teams build software and tools faster than ever-but that doesn't mean we're building smarter. I've seen entire prototypes spin up in a day, thanks to AI coding assistants. But when you ask how they were built, or whether they're secure, you get a lot of blank stares. That's the gap emerging now, between what's possible with AI, and what's actually ready to scale.

In the first months of Russia's full-scale invasion, his defiance and everyman image won him global acclaim and overwhelming support at home. list of 4 itemsend of list But that unity, exhausted by four years of full-scale war, has given way to a more complex mood. Now, while many Ukrainians still back him as an international figurehead, concerns about governance and corruption are reshaping his standing domestically.

Organizations traditionally approach security risk through a narrow lens, often equating "security" primarily with cybersecurity. While cybersecurity is critically important, it represents only one subset of a much broader security landscape. Cybersecurity focuses on the protection of technologies that collect, store, process and transmit data. By contrast, security-related risk encompasses all forms of loss arising from the failure to protect organizational assets.

Autonomy is an output of a technical system. Trustworthiness is an output of a design process. Here are concrete design patterns, operational frameworks, and organizational practices for building agentic systems that are not only powerful but also transparent, controllable, and trustworthy. In the first part of this series, we established the fundamental shift from generative to agentic artificial intelligence. We explored why this leap from suggesting to acting demands a new psychological and methodological toolkit for UX researchers, product managers, and leaders.

Employers are facing a new workplace hazard: AI notetakers that don't know when to stop listening. In some virtual meetings, employees drop off the call while an AI assistant stays behind, quietly documenting gossip or disparaging remarks made by remaining employees, then emailing the transcript to the full team. "Those issues create some of the most excruciating problems," says Joe Lazzarotti, an attorney at Jackson Lewis who is increasingly advising companies on AI notetaker mishaps.

BART is partnering with Uber Transit to fully integrate seamless end-to-end journey planning and payment all within the BART app. Riders will no longer need to use multiple apps to plan their BART trip and plan and pay for an Uber ride. Everything can be done without leaving the BART app, and the total trip time will be displayed, making things faster and easier for users.

Two years ago, the Express team initiated a complete revamp of the project's governance. What was once a largely single-maintainer effort under Doug Wilson evolved into a structured Technical Committee (TC) with multiple active contributors. "Our goal was to evolve Express from a single-maintainer project into a sustainable, community-driven effort - one built on shared responsibility, clear processes, and long-term vision," Ulises explained.

Digiday attempted to gauge market engagement after the dust had settled, and backers have started to put in the hard yards. First, it's worth a recap of what exactly AdCP is - for some, it's an open-source bridge between today's programmatic infrastructure and the dawn of the agentic era - or, as Digiday's Tim Peterson phrased it, "openRTB for the agentic AI era" (see video below).

Anthropic has completely overhauled the "Claude constitution", a document that sets out the ethical parameters governing its AI model's reasoning and behavior. Launched at the World Economic Forum's Davos Summit, the new constitution's principles are that Claude should be "broadly safe" (not undermining human oversight), "Broadly ethical" (honest, avoiding inappropriate, dangerous, or harmful actions), "genuinely helpful" (benefitting its users), as well as being "compliant with Anthropic's guidelines".
