Meta is the latest company to trim its workforce as a result of the growing use of AI within the industry. The company laid off 8,000 employees earlier this week, while also moving 7,000 more to AI-focused roles. “AI is the most consequential technology of our lifetimes,” Zuckerberg said in a memo that he sent to employees, informing them of the cuts.  “The companies that lead the way will define the next generation,” he added.

While widely reported, the proof-of-concept exploit was of limited significance because it required direct physical access to the target device; what matters most is that it is a very real illustration of the new security reality. AI doesn’t care whose side you’re on AI boosts productivity for everyone, including attackers. In this case, the technology augmented the human security research team’s efforts, enabling them to identify a weakness in Apple’s security system. This won’t be the first time AI gets used to identify hard-to-find bugs and certainly won’t be the last. This should be a real concern to any p
