Long-running technology publication covering AI, security, policy, and the business of tech.
Why I recommend it: The free articles alone are enough to track where AI and security policy are heading. Bookmark one story a week that touches your field and save the takeaway.
A practical guide to using AI chatbots without handing over everything you tell them, built on interviews with Johns Hopkins cryptographer Matt Green and Signal creator Moxie Marlinspike. It explains why a chatbot is a better honeypot for your secrets than text messages ever were — most are set by default to store what you say, with few limits on training, sharing, or handing it to a court — and walks through the options that actually reduce the exposure.
Why I recommend it: The clearest plain-language explanation of why this matters, and the best thing to read before you pick any of the tools above. Marlinspike's line is the useful one: the private things people used to text are now the things they tell an AI, and the protections have not caught up. One flag — WIRED meters free articles, so if you hit a sign-in wall, tell me and I will note it on this entry.
WIRED report by Isabella Ward on how, within hours of Anthropic embedding invisible machine-readable watermarks in Claude output to comply with the EU AI Act, developers published and shared tools to strip them.
Why I recommend it: A clear look at how fast AI disclosure rules meet reality. Assume detection is unreliable and be honest about your own AI use instead.
WIRED report on candidates using AI to answer interview questions while employers use AI to screen and score them, and what that arms race does to hiring.
Why I recommend it: Know the screening you are up against, then be the human in the room. Over-scripted AI answers are exactly what these systems flag.
Wired's weekly security roundup covers OpenAI, Anthropic, and 100+ companies cosigning a letter warning that organizations have mere months to prepare for AI-enabled cyberattacks. The piece also tracks rogue AI agent hacking incidents, attacks on over 100 U.S. water systems, license-plate-reader surveillance abuse, Meta's $16.7B child-safety settlement, and ICE buying robot dogs — a snapshot of where AI, surveillance, and critical-infrastructure security collide.
From the site: OpenAI, Anthropic, and more than 100 companies have cosigned a letter saying that everyone else has mere months to prepare for AI-enabled cyberattacks.
Why I recommend it: A stark signal that AI-enabled cyberattacks are no longer hypothetical. The cosigned letter from OpenAI and Anthropic calling for a 'collective response' is exactly the kind of industry accountability move worth watching — pair it with the Hugging Face incident reporting and the water-system attacks to see how AI agents are already being used offensively. Useful for anyone tracking the gap between AI capability and AI governance.
