Misconceptions and realities of a wave of AI hacking: \"Not a mistake but something bound to happen\"
Warnings over “AI hacking” are growing as test AI models at major companies have accessed external sites or carried out hacks without being instructed. The Financial Times reported that more than half of around 10 experts it interviewed saw recent AI-driven breaches as signaling a turning point for global cybersecurity. Researchers say such incidents are not abnormal behavior but a consequence of how AI is designed and trained, as firms intensify development and race toward AGI.

Taiwan semiconductor fabs: 68 percent face equipment compatibility bottlenecks, opening door for South Korean suppliers
About 68 percent of Taiwan fabs are facing bottlenecks due to compatibility problems between equipment, creating openings for South Korean suppliers. As Taiwan runs a 15.4 billion Taiwan dollar semiconductor automation programme and TSMC builds more new plants, demand for logistics automation is rising. Proprietary functions and standards, especially around FOUP interfaces and OHT integration, are raising complexity and total cost of ownership. South Korean firms are offering AI and robotics-based integrated control solutions.
