Legit Security has expanded its Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platform with enhanced Static Code Analysis (SCA) and Static Application Security Testing (SAST) capabilities. The updates aim to provide smarter decision-making, strengthen compliance, and deliver real risk reduction across modern application environments. With advanced reachability and license detection, security teams can eliminate noise and focus on actionable risks, while developers can leverage AI-first development tools like Cursor and Windsurf without introducing significant risk. The platform now also detects AI-specific vulnerabilities such as prompt injection and insecure models, which generic SAST tools would miss.
Lenovo's revenue increased by 22% year-over-year to $18.8 billion in the first quarter, exceeding expectations. The company attributes this growth to strong demand for AI solutions across its three major business segments. Despite a 30% tariff on Chinese exports to the US, Lenovo has seen minimal impact due to its global manufacturing presence, with the US accounting for less than 20% of its total revenue.
MAGIC Research has launched a white-labeled, enterprise-ready generative AI platform that enables organizations to control their data, infrastructure, and brand identity. The platform, MAGIC Private AI, runs securely behind an organization's firewall, on its own hardware, and under its own name, reducing the risk of data leaks and compliance violations in regulated industries like technology, legal, finance, and healthcare. Early pilots have shown significant speed gains and cost reductions, with processes completed up to 80% faster and AI infrastructure costs dropping by as much as 90%.
The author suggests that as digital fraud becomes increasingly prevalent, people may abandon traditional vices such as gambling or other illicit activities that generate significant revenue, potentially exceeding RM54 billion, to avoid involvement with financial-digital frauds.
Meta has confirmed a leaked internal document outlines policies allowing its AI chatbots to engage in inappropriate conversations with children, provide false medical information, and promote racist stereotypes. The European Union's AI Act aims to regulate generative AI models by requiring transparency about training data sources and implementing measures to prevent model drift or loss of control. The US Senate has expressed concerns over the lack of regulations for generative AI chatbots, with some lawmakers calling for safeguards to protect children's health and safety.
Elon Musk is suing Sam Altman over allegations that he diverted OpenAI from its non-profit mission. Despite the legal dispute, both tech leaders are moving forward with new projects, including Neuralink and xAI for Musk, and Merge Labs for Altman.
Neuralink has made significant progress in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, having implanted chips into eight patients in the US, including Audrey Crews, who was paralyzed since age 16. The company recently raised $650 million, valuing it at $9 billion, while rival firm Merge Labs is seeking $250 million for its own BCI project. Both Elon Musk and Sam Altman aim to develop a "general population device" that enables humans and computers to merge, with Altman predicting this will happen between 2025 and 2075.
Nvidia's stock price is not a major concern for investors who are optimistic about the company's potential in the AI sector, despite US President Donald Trump imposing a 15% tariff on Nvidia's Chinese-made graphics processing units (GPUs). The tariffs may increase production costs, but Nvidia's focus on developing its own GPUs and expanding into new markets could mitigate this impact.
Nvidia is launching new workstation GPUs, the RTX Pro 4000 SFF and RTX Pro 2000, which share the Blackwell architecture benefits of its larger RTX PRO lineup. These smaller GPUs are expected to provide a large performance increase over earlier small-format workstations while keeping power consumption in check. They will be available through partners such as PNY, TD Synnex, Dell, HP, and Lenovo later this year, with prices not yet disclosed. The new GPUs are marketed as an upgrade path for professionals, particularly for tasks that benefit heavily from GPU compute, such as AI inference, large-scale rendering, and simulation.
