This is part 4 of a 6-part series we’re running about how product managers are using AI tools and vibe coding. Written by and for product managers. Summary Requirements docs, decks, and tickets go stale because PMs update them by hand. Agentic workflows fix t...
Google's GenAI Security Team outlines a continuous approach to mitigate indirect prompt injection (IPI), an evolving threat vector targeting AI systems. The strategy focuses on ongoing detection and response to protect Google Workspace users.
Researchers propose using the Moiré effect, a physical interference pattern produced by real cameras, as an authentication signature to distinguish genuine videos from AI-generated ones. This physics-based method exploits a two-layer grating structure that generative models cannot accurately replic...
Forecasting startup success is notoriously difficult, partly because meaningful outcomes, such as exits, large funding rounds, and sustained revenue growth, are rare and can take years to materialize. As a result, signals are sparse and evaluation cycles are...
A preliminary study analyzes how OpenAI's Sora 2 generative video model represents depression, comparing outputs from its consumer app and developer API. Researchers generated 100 videos to characterize these depictions and assess differences between access points.
Research analyzing survey data from 2,257 employees finds that motivational job characteristics and perceptions of AI-related threats jointly influence how widely and deeply AI tools are adopted at work. This study highlights variability in AI uptake even within the same organization.
Railway, a San Francisco-based cloud platform with two million developers, raised $100 million in a Series B round led by TQ Ventures. The funding aims to address the limitations of legacy cloud infrastructure amid growing AI application demand.
