Encryption alone not enough as governments and critical infrastructure shift to integrated secure communications

End-to-end encryption remains a core technology for secure communications, but officials and experts say it is increasingly insufficient for governments and critical infrastructure. They warn attackers are shifting from cracking encrypted messages to bypassing identity, account and device controls through phishing and impersonation. Experts also point to metadata risks and reliance on foreign-run platforms. Governments are seeking integrated systems combining authentication, device trust, metadata management and platform control, including sovereign communications infrastructure.

U.S. researchers flag five misconceptions about AI-blockchain combination

Researchers from major U.S. universities said industry debate around combining artificial intelligence and blockchain includes exaggeration and set out five common misconceptions. They said blockchain cannot detect AI-generated content by content alone, decentralisation does not remove algorithmic bias, and giving AI agents wallets does not make them autonomous economic actors. They also said recording data on a blockchain does not guarantee original data reliability, and decentralisation may not cut AI costs.

Automation, collaboration lower AI governance barriers

As enterprises expand AI adoption, control and management are emerging as major issues, with growing agreement that AI will struggle to take root without proper oversight. At the same time, overly strict controls can burden user experience and make AI harder to use, raising calls for practical governance. Snowflake is accelerating efforts to balance data governance and AI use, unveiling new sharing features and updates to its Horizon Catalog platform.
