Apple, Google Develop AI-Powered Mobile Security Systems

AI-native platforms for mobile security use machine learning and behavioral intelligence to detect threats in real-time, without relying on cloud services. Companies like Apple and Google have developed AI-powered systems that can analyze user behavior, detect anomalies, and trigger rapid responses to prevent Trojan attacks. These systems must be built directly into the mobile app to ensure end-to-end observability and control. The author argues that AI-native defense is crucial in combating mobile banking Trojans, which are becoming increasingly common due to their ability to infect devices and bypass outdated defenses.

Biden Lifts Export Controls on Chinese Tech Firms

The US and China have ended their latest round of trade talks in London, with a deal reportedly agreed to lift some recent export controls on high-end semiconductors. However, critics argue that this could be strategic self-sabotage, as the controls were imposed to maintain America's technological advantage in key sectors like AI and advanced computing. The Trump administration had targeted Chinese firms such as Huawei with specific bans during his first term, but under President Biden, the US expanded its application to cover China as a whole. China has sought to evade these controls while the US gradually tightens them. Export controls are vital to staying ahead in the tech race, but doubts remain about their effectiveness. The Biden administration's approach has been imperfect, and if Trump's deal with Xi Jinping entails an agreement not to impose new export controls, it will erode America's ability to keep existing restrictions effective.

SAG-AFTRA Demands AI Consent for Performers

The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has proposed new protections for performers in the use of artificial intelligence (AI). The union's Interactive Media Agreement (IMA) includes requirements for informed consent when deploying AI technology, allowing performers to suspend consent during a strike, effectively sending their digital counterparts to the picket line. The agreement also sets minimum compensation rates for the reuse of visual performances and provides compounded increases in pay over several years, with a 15.17% increase followed by additional 3% raises in 2025, 2026, and 2027.
