This weekly update brings important news about AI privacy and security that affects everyone using smart technology.

AI cameras are watching us more than ever. New smart surveillance systems can now recognize faces and track people across multiple cameras in real time. The global video surveillance market is expected to reach $147.66 billion by 2030. However, these systems sometimes make mistakes and can wrongly identify innocent people as criminals. The European Union has created new laws to limit mass facial recognition in public spaces, but the United States still lacks comprehensive federal rules.

Companies using AI tools face new security challenges. As more businesses adopt AI assistants like ChatGPT, sensitive company information is flowing into these systems faster than security teams can handle. Traditional security methods were not built for this new world of AI. Companies now need Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) tools to protect their information when using AI.

OpenAI announced new safety rules for teenagers. The company will use special systems to guess how old users are and apply different rules for people under 18. Teen users will face stricter limits on conversations, and OpenAI may contact parents if a teenager shows signs of wanting to harm themselves. This creates tension between keeping teens safe and protecting everyone's privacy.

Security experts warn about AI agents creating new risks. As AI systems become more independent and can work for hours without human help, companies struggle to figure out how to give them the right permissions. These AI agents don't fit into current security systems designed for humans or simple computer programs. New detection systems are needed to understand what AI agents are trying to do and whether they are being misused.
