Microsoft expands Project Perception, deploys guardian agent to control in-house AI agents

Microsoft has defined AI agents working inside companies as “agentic insiders” and set out steps to control them. Security Vice President Yt Gallo said the industry has focused on external attackers while paying less attention to internal agent risks. He called frontier models untrustworthy and said a “guardian agent” should monitor agent actions before execution. Microsoft said its Project Perception can identify and manage in-house agents and respond as risks increase.

Google quantum chip Willow cuts computation errors 40-fold, but bitcoin security threat still distant

Google succeeds in cutting errors in “magic state,” a key resource for quantum computing, to about one-fortieth of the previous level. Its Quantum AI team reports achieving 99.99% logical accuracy using its Willow processor, but the performance remains far from levels needed to crack bitcoin or RSA-2048 encryption. Researchers cite a wide gap in required accuracy and note that Willow has 105 physical qubits, far below estimates for such attacks.

Apple\'s first foldable \'iPhone Ultra\' likely to be unveiled Sept. 9; three things to watch

Apple’s first foldable iPhone, dubbed the iPhone Ultra, is increasingly likely to be unveiled at a Sept. 9 event, 9to5Mac reported. The report said Apple is entering the foldable market 7 years later than rivals but is aiming to differentiate on build quality. Key points to watch include whether the unfolded screen looks effectively crease-free, how Apple balances thinness with battery and thermal performance, and whether a liquid-metal hinge improves durability and long-term use.
