Security teams would most readily hand alert triage to AI agents, and most reject autonomous actions. Yet in July 2026, Hugging Face’s AI-based defenses detected an attack by an AI agent and failed to alert the on-call team. What surveys by Netskope and SANS and new guidance from security agencies reveal.
Researchers at Binghamton University harvest electricity from room air with a paper wallpaper. It will never run household appliances. Our calculation shows, however, that it could power frugal wireless sensors in places without light. What the study proves and what is still missing.
With the Muse Charm, Meta wants to reach customers directly, bypassing Apple and Google. The cute AI gadget promises convenience but demands access to inboxes, accounts and payments. A commentary on the lessons of Alexa, Meta’s rush and the master key in Meta’s cloud.
The IoT industry meets in Amsterdam on 22 and 23 September. The program of the 9th The Things Conference points to three shifts: wireless standards appearing together rather than against each other, the Cyber Resilience Act getting its own run of sessions, and satellite connectivity leaving the niche.
Four AI chiefs want to hit the brakes. Two companies have actually committed to anything: a team of embedded external evaluators each — no names, no start date. And the very incident that prompted the proposal showed that AI agents can forge their own logs. What that means for makers of connected devices.
Mobile IoT connectivity describes the possibility of conneting sensors directly via mobile radio using built-in SIM cards. This allows the devices to be operated independently of an additional communications infrastructure, as would be necessary with Zigbee, Matter, WLAN or LoRa, […]
Position data from around two million Hapag-Lloyd containers now flows straight into customers’ SAP systems, sitting alongside purchase orders and stock levels. Besides SAP, the carrier works with CargoWise, Lobster and Cargoo. What conclusions follow from a given position is up to the customer.
A small white light decides whether Meta’s camera glasses can be sold in Germany. Yet Meta’s own documents describe AI modes in which the camera works while the LED stays off. Asked by WeSpeakIoT, the Bundesnetzagentur said it cannot currently communicate an assessment of these functions.
Researchers from the University of Birmingham and security firm Fuzzware showed at USENIX WOOT 2026 that a SIM card can issue commands directly to a device’s modem through the standardised Proactive SIM feature. Nine of 26 devices tested expose this interface – among them six of eight IoT modules.
Anthropic will mark text generated by Claude with an invisible watermark, driven by the EU labelling obligation in force since 2 August 2026. So far none of it is live: no current Claude model meets the commitment. This piece sets out what the technology can do, where it stops, and how Google and OpenAI compare.
