On the frozen and cratered battlefields of eastern Ukraine, a new class of weapon system is emerging that combines two of the war’s most consequential technologies into a single, operator-distant platform. Ukrainian forces have begun deploying ground-based robotic vehicles capable of launching aerial drones during combat missions — a development that keeps human operators farther from danger while multiplying the tactical options available to small units fighting along the front lines.

For more than two decades, Google has been the undisputed gateway to the internet. Brands have spent billions optimizing their websites, buying ads, and chasing algorithmic favor to appear at the top of search results. But a growing body of evidence suggests that the era of Google’s unchallenged supremacy may be entering its twilight phase — not with a dramatic collapse, but with a slow, steady migration of user behavior toward AI-powered chatbots that are increasingly functioning as search engines in their own right.

When Anthropic was founded in 2021 by former OpenAI researchers, the company positioned itself as the conscience of artificial intelligence — a firm built on the principle that AI development should prioritize safety above all else. Four years later, the San Francisco-based company is fielding its Claude AI model for military and intelligence applications, including a reported role in helping the U.S. government build a case against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

A newly discovered Android malware strain called PromptSpy has raised alarms among cybersecurity researchers by exploiting a novel attack vector: intercepting users’ interactions with Google’s Gemini artificial intelligence assistant. Rather than targeting banking credentials or social media logins, this malware quietly siphons off the prompts users type into generative AI tools — capturing what may be some of the most revealing data a person produces on their smartphone.
