    Google DeepMind's AI agents found new weak spots in an old form of encryption

    Much of the internet's security rests on maths problems that should take centuries to solve. Google DeepMind said on Friday that its AI agents had found two new shortcuts against an older form of RSA, the encryption behind many of the web's padlocks. The agents, programs that work through a task on their own, were steered by two outside cryptographers. One shortcut makes forging certain digital signatures about 1,600 times cheaper, in theory. The longer secret keys most systems use today are unaffected. DeepMind says it took weeks, and that speed is what strikes me. Attackers read these papers too, so old keys in forgotten systems just became harder to ignore.

    OpenAI and Anthropic find investors less generous

    OpenAI has closed the first 11 billion dollars of its new funding round, according to Bloomberg, at a lower valuation than it asked for in September. A week ago I wrote that it had cut its target by a third. Anthropic, the maker of Claude, faces the same reset before its stock-market listing. Some potential buyers now value it at as little as 1.1 trillion dollars, Bloomberg reports, against about 2 trillion expected a month ago. Thursday's sell-off made it plain that investors, not the labs, now set the price. Generous investors have helped keep AI tools cheap, and less generous ones may mean higher prices for you.

    Fraudsters used AI copies of executives' voices to steal 129 million dollars, prosecutors say

    The call sounds exactly like your chief executive, asking for help with a confidential deal. US prosecutors in New York on Friday charged three men over a scheme that allegedly used AI copies of executives' voices to steal more than 129 million dollars from companies. Accounting staff were then put through to fake lawyers and told to wire money, which was moved into cryptocurrency to hide it. Victims included two hospital systems, a New York investment bank and a Florida pet food company. The best defence is a dull one: no payment on the strength of a voice alone, only after a call-back on a number you already know.

    The Bank of England finds AI has barely lifted British productivity

    The Bank of England has put a number on AI's productivity gain, and it is small. On Thursday it estimated that AI has lifted UK productivity by only about 0.5 percent over three years. AI did supply nearly a fifth of this year's economic growth, but mostly through the companies building and installing it. Jobs have barely moved, though firms using AI hire fewer people and replace fewer leavers. Last week the European Central Bank's chief economist described the same pattern in the euro area. The Bank still sees upside, and so do I. Anyone budgeting for a quick payback should check that plan against these figures.

    Tencent's new AI model ran short of computing power on day one

    At Tencent, at least, demand for AI is outrunning the computers that answer it. The company behind WeChat released Hy4, its newest AI system, on Wednesday. So many people using Tencent's WorkBuddy assistant hit their usage limits on day one that Tencent says it has expanded the computing power behind Hy4 tenfold. Independent rankings put Hy4 second in China, behind Kimi from the start-up Moonshot. The shortage comes as the Financial Times reports that Oracle, the US cloud company, has cancelled a large lease of American AI chips to Tencent. Chinese chips will have to fill the gap, and until they can, free AI in China will likely come with tighter limits.
