This week brought important news about how AI and data are being used by both good and bad actors. A group from China used AI to hack into tech companies and banks in a sneaky way. Meanwhile, police departments are using a tool called ALPR to track protesters, which makes many people worried about their freedom.

In other news, companies faced big security problems. DoorDash, the food delivery app, admitted that hackers got into their computer systems after tricking one worker. The hackers stole names, emails, phone numbers and addresses of millions of people. A big company called Oracle was also attacked by hackers called Cl0p who used a serious computer bug to break in.

The good news is that countries are making new rules to keep data safe. The European Union announced changes to its AI rules to help companies follow the law more easily. In America, many states like California, Texas, and Utah are making their own AI laws to protect people's privacy. The United Nations also warned that hospitals need better rules to keep patients safe when using AI.

New rules about health information are coming too. The Health Information Privacy Reform Act will make companies that handle health data follow stronger protection rules, kind of like rules hospitals already have.

All these stories show that privacy and security are becoming more important every day. Companies, governments, and people everywhere are working hard to figure out how to use AI safely while protecting everyone's personal information.
