FingerprintJS unveiled previews of its \'AI Assistant Detection\' and \'Automation Intelligence API\' to filter traffic from major AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Anthropic\'s Claude. The products focus on closing detection gaps created by a rise in AI requests that do not pass through a browser. The company said the tools can identify automated traffic at the HTTP level and provide IP and network risk signals to guide response options.

A newly disclosed web tracking technique can analyse SSD activity inside a browser to infer other websites a user is viewing and even apps running elsewhere. Researchers presented a contention-based side-channel method called Frost that repeatedly accesses large files in the browser’s Origin Private File System and measures tiny SSD I/O latency differences. They said the data can be analysed with a pre-trained convolutional neural network model. The method faces constraints, including the need for very large files and storage placement on the same SSD.
