Cisco researchers discovered that AI chatbots forget safety rules during longer exchanges, making them more likely to share harmful or illegal information. The company tested major language models from OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Mistral, Alibaba, and Deepseek. Researchers conducted 499 “multi-turn attacks,” where users asked a series of five to ten prompts to bypass guardrails. They found that AI models released unsafe or restricted content in 64% of multi-question conversations, compared to just 13% when asked one question. Mistral’s Large Instruct model was the easiest to exploit, with a 93% success rate, while Google’s Gemma was the most resistant at…
Australia will enforce a new law from December 10 banning children under 16 from using major social media platforms. The government added Reddit and livestreaming service Kick to the list of restricted platforms, joining Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Threads, TikTok, X, and YouTube. Communications Minister Anika Wells announced the update on Wednesday, stressing that companies must close underage accounts. Platforms that fail to take “reasonable steps” face fines of up to 50 million Australian dollars (€28.3 million). Wells said the government had already met several platform representatives to ensure full compliance. “Online platforms use advanced technology to target children,” she said.…

Nigeria entered a state of anxiety after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened military intervention over alleged Christian persecution. On Sunday, Nigerians awoke to reports of Trump ordering the Pentagon to prepare plans for possible action. “If Nigeria allows Christians to be killed, the U.S. will stop all aid and may go in ‘guns blazing,’” Trump wrote online. “If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet,” he added, saying he aimed to “defend cherished Christians.” President Bola Ahmed Tinubu quickly responded, saying he was ready to meet Trump to discuss counterterrorism cooperation. Tinubu emphasized that any partnership must respect…

Researchers discovered that artificial intelligence understands Polish better than any other language, placing English only sixth. A joint study by the University of Maryland (UMD) and Microsoft analyzed 26 languages to determine which ones AI models process most effectively. “Our results surprised us,” the report’s authors stated. “English did not dominate every model. It ranked sixth out of 26 languages when handling long texts, while Polish ranked first.” The research team tested major AI systems, including OpenAI, Google Gemini, Qwen, Llama, and DeepSeek, by giving them identical tasks in 26 languages. Polish achieved an impressive average accuracy of 88% in…
Strong iPhone demand lifted Apple’s revenue in the three months ending in September, closing the fiscal year with record profits. The company exceeded most financial expectations despite trade tensions and competition in artificial intelligence. Apple attributed its strong performance to high initial demand for the iPhone 17 line-up, launched last month. “Apple proudly reports a September quarter record of $102.5 billion, with all-time highs in iPhone and Services revenue,” said CEO Tim Cook. Fueled by iPhone success, Apple earned $27.5 billion (€23.8bn), almost twice last year’s profit. Shares jumped 2% in after-hours trading following the announcement. Although the iPhone 17…
Human Rights Watch pressed Merz to condemn Turkey’s suppression of opposition voices and the arrest of Istanbul’s mayor, Ekrem İmamoğlu. Germany Strengthens Strategic Ties with Ankara German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called for a stronger strategic partnership with Turkey to face global challenges. He made this appeal during his first official visit to Ankara, praising Turkey’s role in mediating conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. Standing beside President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Merz spoke soon after Turkey and the United Kingdom sealed a multi-billion-euro deal for 20 Eurofighter Typhoon jets. Germany, a key producer of the aircraft, recently withdrew its long-standing objection to…
Severe destruction across the Gaza Strip has made it nearly impossible for Hamas to locate and recover Israeli hostage remains buried under rubble. An Egyptian convoy carrying bulldozers and excavators entered Gaza on Saturday to aid recovery efforts. The U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement requires Israel to return 15 Palestinian prisoners’ bodies for every Israeli hostage body recovered. So far, Israel has returned 195 Palestinian corpses, while Hamas has delivered 18 Israeli remains. Earlier this month, Hamas released all 20 surviving hostages. U.S. President Donald Trump said he is “watching very closely” to ensure the bodies are returned within 48 hours. He…
