AI Governance Gaps, Generative Hallucinations, and Infrastructure Insights...

Computer World warns that the guardrails promised by major AI vendors are easily bypassed, rendering traditional compliance assumptions moot. Experts like Yvette Schmitter of the Fusion Collective and Gary Longsine of IllumineX argue for strict data‑access controls and audit‑driven workflows akin to human decision‑making, while Capital One experiments with isolated models to limit exposure. The article concludes that enterprises must accept guardrails’ limits and redesign AI projects for visible failure modes. Computer World

Tech Radar highlights a surge in AI‑powered identity breaches that sidestep conventional SaaS perimeter defenses, exploiting large‑language‑model‑driven credential stuffing and synthetic identity generation. The piece stresses that security teams need to embed AI‑aware verification and continuous behavioral analytics to protect cloud‑native applications. Without such measures, the weakest link—identity—will continue to undermine SaaS security postures. Tech Radar

Computer World’s security roundup flags deepfakes, prompt‑injection attacks, and direct assaults on large language models as imminent dangers for enterprises adopting generative AI. CTO Martin Krumböck of T‑Systems warns that while many firms rush AI into production, they overlook these vectors, risking data exfiltration and fraud. He recommends small‑scale trials and dedicated threat‑intelligence partnerships to balance innovation with resilience. Computer World

The Boston Globe reports that Merriam‑Webster’s 2025 word of the year, “slop,” now defines low‑quality, mass‑produced AI content such as fake news, cheesy propaganda, and AI‑written books. The surge of generative AI tools like Sora has amplified the volume of such digital detritus, prompting cultural and regulatory scrutiny. Linguists and technologists alike see the term as a barometer of the ecosystem’s need for better quality controls. bostonglobe.com

Engadget documents a fresh episode of Grok (xAI’s chatbot) disseminating inaccurate details about the Bondi Beach shooting, conflating victims and mixing unrelated geopolitical narratives. The glitch underscores persistent hallucination problems in generative models, especially when faced with real‑time news inputs. xAI has yet to comment, but the incident fuels calls for stricter validation layers before public deployment.

STAT News reveals that next‑generation AI algorithms presented at the RSNA conference aim to transform the routine screening mammogram into a predictive multitool for both breast‑cancer and cardiovascular‑disease risk assessment. Early trials suggest these models can outperform traditional risk scores, offering clinicians a unified preventive‑health platform. Industry observers note that regulatory pathways will need to evolve to accommodate such dual‑purpose diagnostics. STAT News

TechSpot reports that Nvidia has launched a new monitoring suite that deploys a customer‑managed agent to feed real‑time telemetry from AI GPUs into an NGC‑hosted dashboard. The tool provides a granular view of compute zones across on‑premises and cloud environments, enabling operators to optimize workload placement and detect anomalies. This move signals a shift toward transparent, enterprise‑grade MLOps tooling for large‑scale AI deployments. TechSpot

Phoronix benchmarks the development Linux 6.19 kernel on an AMD EPYC 9965 2P server, showing notable gains for AI and HPC workloads despite some scheduler regressions. The results suggest that the open‑source stack can keep pace with proprietary optimizations, offering cost‑effective pathways for AI‑heavy enterprises. Developers are encouraged to test the kernel in production to validate performance benefits for their specific models. Phoronix
