With the stock of high-quality public text on the internet nearly exhausted, OpenAI, Anthropic and other leading AI developers are quietly purchasing internal corporate communications — employee emails, Slack-style chats, video meeting transcripts and code-review histories — to train their next-generation models, according to a report by The Information published on August 13 citing about 20 industry sources. Enterprise Data Becomes the New Oil for AI The market for private business data has exploded in 2026. Bobby Samuels, chief executive of data brokerage firm Protege, said his company’s gross transaction volume jumped from $30 million in 2025 to at least…

Some Claude users are canceling their paid subscriptions after Anthropic introduced an invisible watermark designed to identify text generated by supported versions of its artificial-intelligence chatbot. Anthropic began applying the “imperceptible watermark” to text produced by Claude models launched on or after August 2, according to reports. The marker is intended to remain associated with the text when it is copied and pasted, and may survive certain forms of editing. The company has also introduced provenance metadata for some AI-generated files, including images.businessinsider+1 The move is part of Anthropic’s effort to improve transparency around AI-generated content and comply with provisions…

A newly disclosed AI API vulnerability affecting systems from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google has raised fresh concerns over how hidden reasoning data is handled by some of the world’s most widely used AI platforms. Researchers found that encrypted reasoning blocks generated by advanced AI models could, in certain cases, be passed to other models from the same provider and decoded into readable text. The issue potentially exposed sensitive information contained inside a model’s hidden reasoning, even when that information never appeared in the visible response shown to users. The findings were detailed in a research paper titled Stealing Reasoning Traces…

Replit CEO Amjad Masad has offered a strikingly optimistic view of artificial intelligence’s impact on software development, arguing that coding agents are making engineering work more creative, collaborative and “human”. Speaking to tech journalist Casey Newton, Masad said Replit’s workplace had become “more vibrant” since engineers began using AI agents to write, test and deploy software. Instead of spending most of their time typing code, employees are increasingly discussing ideas, working at whiteboards and experimenting with different product concepts. “Two years ago, everyone was hands on keyboard, you hear clicking all the time,” Masad said. “Now, actually, it’s a lot…

Delhi: Delhi Police arrested an Indian Air Force Wing Commander for allegedly leaking classified information to a suspected Pakistani intelligence agent. The officer, 44, fell for a honey trap — someone posing as a woman on social media built a relationship with him through chats and video calls, eventually coaxing him into sharing confidential details. Police say he sent photos of his base, sensitive research documents, and troop movement information. It started when the IAF’s Air Intelligence Unit noticed something was off and put him under surveillance. Turns out, he’d been talking regularly with an international number linked to a…

New Delhi:  Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran on Friday warned the financial sector against overlooking the security risks posed by artificial intelligence, stressing that institutions must prioritise safeguards before embracing the technology’s benefits. Speaking at the ASSOCHAM India International Fintech Festival 2026 here, Nageswaran said recent instances of AI agents attempting to breach other AI systems without explicit prompts underscore the urgency of strengthening cybersecurity frameworks. “Whether it is the Anthropic or Meta agents going and hacking other institutions’ IT systems without being prompted to do so, the key aspect is that we generally do not pay attention to…

Shashi Tharoor admitted that Congress’s student outreach on the NEET paper leak just didn’t strike a chord like the protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) did. Speaking during the 15th anniversary of IIMUN in Mumbai, Tharoor pointed out how Congress had already taken up these issues through its “Chhatron ki Goonj” campaign—where Rahul Gandhi addressed students about exam paper leaks. “The same issues the CJP raised at Jantar Mantar? We brought those up first. Rahul Gandhi spoke to students about these very problems,” Tharoor said. But he didn’t pretend everything was fine—he admitted that their campaign failed to…

Ranchi: The Jharkhand government met again with protesters on Saturday, after days of unrest over alleged cheating and irregularities in recruitment exams run by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC). Saturday’s meeting happened at the State Guest House in Ranchi, with a group led by student and Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha (JLKM) leader Devendra Nath Mahto. Mahto has been on an indefinite hunger strike for a week, and the protests as a whole have now stretched into their third week. This meeting followed another round of talks on Friday, where government ministers and…

We see a lot of buzzwords on food labels these days: “natural,” “healthy,” “organic,” “heart-friendly,” “high protein,” “zero maida”—words like these steer what people pick off the shelf. But India’s food regulator is starting to push back, asking: do these claims really add up to what’s inside the box? The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) recently sent notices to a bunch of brands—bread, chocolate, juices, cooking oil, noodles, supplements, packaged water, caffeinated drinks—you name it. They’re grilling companies on their claims: “100% natural,” “organic,” “immunity-boosting,” “detox,” “disease reduction,” and “energy.” So far, it’s just a verification process,…

Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai just shook up the leadership team at Google DeepMind. The company’s doubling down on artificial general intelligence (AGI), cutting-edge research, and commercial AI products. Here’s what’s changing: Demis Hassabis won’t be handling DeepMind’s daily operations anymore. Instead, he’s stepping into a new role as DeepMind’s Chair and Alphabet’s Chief Scientist. That means he’ll keep leading Isomorphic Labs, Alphabet’s AI-driven drug discovery company, while advising DeepMind’s leaders on research and long-term AGI strategy. Hassabis explained that stepping back frees him up to think about the big picture—what AGI really means for the world, and how…
