The US Army has launched a new curriculum to train specialized officers in artificial intelligence and machine learning (49B AI/ML Officer), aiming to make the military "data-centric" and optimize the use of already deployed AI tools. Meanwhile, 40 million people use ChatGPT for medical advice despite risks of inaccurate information. In 2025, data rule violations linked to generative AI applications have more than doubled, attributed to the proliferation of Shadow AI. Six months after the disclosure of three critical Bluetooth vulnerabilities, millions of devices remain exposed.
