Hollywood steps up AI film bets, seen as tool not substitute

Hollywood is accelerating the use of AI in film production, while audiences are increasingly checking whether AI was used in movies. DreamWorks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg has unveiled plans to launch an animation studio using AI, saying the technology has improved and could lower production costs. Funding is also flowing into AI-made projects, including a trailer that secured investment for a feature film. Actors and AI producers stress AI should support, not replace, human creators.

Ben Canning (벤 캐닝), chief product officer at Alteryx, wrote that model costs are becoming a new burden as corporate AI use moves from experiments to large-scale operations. He said firms should first decide whether a large language model is needed and build business-logic workflows to avoid repeated processing.

UK most exposed in Europe to state-backed, geopolitical cyber threats

Britain was the European country most exposed to state-backed and geopolitical cyber threats, with 76 such activities observed over the past year, a report cited by TechRadar showed. Microsoft said AI is lowering barriers for attackers and compressing attack cycles, cutting some steps from days to seconds. The share of incidents where phishing was the initial entry route rose to 23% from 7%, and voice phishing jumped 502%. Ransomware detections also increased in the United States, Britain and Germany.
